After weeks of working on set, Maxima Integrated Media, the producer of Allison's Stand, has finally premiered its latest comedy series, “The Condo”. Held at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, the premiere also witnessed the unveiling of Dream Abode, a TV show/a radio/online show that aims at changing the narrative and re-orientating the African youths on real estate and interior design related matters.

Anchored by comedian Ushbebe, the evening attracted guests from both the entertainment industry, who were present to see the new sitcom, as well as top players in the real estate and interior decoration sector such as MD/CEO of Adam & Eve, Mrs Ogunlesi, who will be playing a major role in Dream Abode. Also present at the screening are some of the cast members of The Condo, including Frank Donga, Binta Ayo Mogaji, Chris Okagbue, Tope Tedela and Mumbi Maina.

Written by Funmi Morgan, directed by Yemi Morgan and produced by Femi Ogundoro, The Condo is a situational comedy with subtle elements of drama. Each episode exudes realism laced with sophistication, sassiness and class. The delivery of cast is witty, fluid and convincingly captivating.

Speaking at the event, the MD of Maxima Integrated Media, Femi Ogundoro, informed that Dream Abode is not just a TV show, a radio show or an online platform.

“It's actually a campaign with the primary objective of changing the narrative and re-orientating the African youths on real estate and interior design related matters – starting with three countries: Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya, while The Condo is a situational comedy series, an interplay & balance of two different worlds of character/personalities.”

On why he came up with the idea of TV show and the choice of the three countries for a start, the producer of Allison's Stand explained, “We discovered that in those countries, we practically live the same kind of lifestyle, except that Kenyans are more conservative; Ghanaians are also a bit conservative compared to Nigerians.”
