6 CONCEPT OF ABI-SOJA The appreciation of Nigerian Programs is yet to be transformed into commercial success within and outside the shores of Nigeria. This in part is due to the language and storyline that is mostly structured in dialogue form only. It is in recognizing this short coming, that we are embarking on the production of ABI-SOJA. It is an African dance soap opera, which mainly incorporates dance, music and action without any language barrier. This approach is being taken because of our determination to break into the International market both within Africa and across Europe, Asia and America. It is an eye opener as it equally serves as a research material for those who truly want to know about the cultures of Africa. Born in the Market as the name connotes, is a trans-cultural Romantic Chase or journey from state to state and country to country. Whatever you do, whoever you are, this Story Speaks Your Language as you travail through life and reach out to the outside world, turning the world into a global village. ONE LINER Abi-Soja is a neglected young woman who lives with her past, battling the present to change the future of the helpless and better her community.

7 SYNOPSIS Abi-Soja, a very beautiful and innocent young lady was born at a market place into a polygamous home, as the only female child. Suddenly, she becomes epileptic and neglected. As others mock her, the father s love for her becomes stronger. While she struggles as the breadwinner for her already separated, sick and wretched mother, she fell in love once, but could not marry her dream man Uhunamure as his mother refuses on religious grounds and promises death, if ignored. As it is discovered that Abi-Soja, is the most beautiful and well brought up child in the land, an intruder Amino vows to kill Uhunamure, the hunter, as he too wants Abi-Soja as his wife. In her countless wandering and struggles, she becomes a victim of kidnap, rape, humiliation and taken to a strange and far away land to be killed. A lifetime battle line is drawn. IMPACT The program as conceptualized is a story, which shall cut across barrier of languages, color and or race. It will become a reference point and even a case study of similarities between races from cultural perspectives. It is also expected to help the youth develop self-will and confidence. In addition, our various religious groups will see the true face of Religious Tolerance and Harmony. Therefore, the outcome and successes of this package, no doubt must be universally felt.
