‘Seeds and Harvests’, a Nigerian television series by Segun Adegbiji, is set to premiere on DStv on Sunday. 

In a statement on Saturday, Adegbiji said the series will premiere at 6:30pm on Africa Magic Urban (Channel 153), with a repeat every Thursday by 5:30pm.

According to him, the project is a satire which mirrors the attitudes, lifestyle as well as behavior of people all over Africa, and shows the consequences of the choices they make.

“The message is novel because we want to transform our society.  We believe no one should oppress or suffocate others; we do not know who they will become tomorrow,” he said.

“If we make the right choices, if we are considerate of the feelings of others, for wellness of others, we shall have an egalitarian society with mutual love and respect for one another.”

The series follows the story of Tunji Gesinde, a wealthy man, who has a flourishing family until a heated crisis broke out which threatened their coexistence.

The series synopsis

In the series, Chief Tunji Gesinde is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Overflow Advertising Agency. Married to Tundun Gesinde, a flourishing business woman, he wields a lot of influence in the society and is highly respected. 

Chief Gesinde is also very fond of his wife and almost indulges their three children, Folarin, Tade and Yinka.

He has an almost perfect family – money, a flourishing business, a beautiful, intelligent wife from one of the oldest families in Oyo and children that are doing well.

He makes a move to ensure nothing goes wrong with the status quo.

But the lights dim in the Gesinde household as Chief’s move opens the door for afflictions that started rocking the boat of the family.

Tundun and Chief gradually drift apart, and the children are affected in various ways.

Each one tries to find a way out of the darkness in the way they think is most appropriate. The Gesinde family grapples with the harvest of the seeds sown into their home.

Adegbiji plays the lead as Tunji Gesinde, while Femi Osofisan, ace Nigerian writer, and Yerima Ahmed will act and write occasionally.

The series featured cast and crew including Moyinoluwa Olutayo, Tubosun Aiyedehin, Eveazi Ogoro, Darbota, Chimela Azurunwa and Udoffia Ejoh.

Others include, Christian Paul, Charles Ukpo and Tunji Abogunloko.

Adegbiji, a pastor, was until recently the head of media and public relations at the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG).

He has featured in several works in the past including Sanya Dosunmu’s ‘Dinner with the Devil’, ‘Wings like an Eagle’, ‘More than Conquerors’ and guest appearances on ‘The Village Headmaster’.
