Ghana Jollof now streaming on Showmax

Ghana Jollof, the first Showmax Original comedy-drama in West Africa, is now streaming exclusively on Showmax.

The show tells the story of two young Nigerians, Jasper (AMVCA winner Funnybone) and Romanus (AMAA nominee Akah Nnani), who move to Ghana to “jollof”.

In the first episode, Jasper and Romanus meet at the University of Lagos. There they are joined by Nnamdi (Uzor Arukwe, who starred as dreaded crime boss Knight in Sugar Rush) and Kweku (heartthrob James Gardiner from Ghana’s popular telenovela Dede).

We find out that Romanus is a hustler, while Jasper’s whole family is “very smart”. Nnamdi likes to flex, and Ghanaian-born Kweku has his heart set on a girl. Bonds are made and friendships are formed.

Speaking about the show, Basketmouth shared, “I’ve always wanted to create something that would be a collaboration between Nigeria and Ghana, and Ghana Jollof is a realisation of that dream. I’m excited for the fans to finally see what we’ve cooked up.”

Ghana Jollof is directed by AMVCA nominee Diji Aderogba, whose debut feature film About A Boy won the Audience Choice Award at Nollywood Film Week in Paris, France.
