Nigerian media mogul Mo Abudu has once again expressed her joy at the giant strides her daughter Temidee (Ted) is making in her career, and for making mummy proud. She congratulated her daughter for her role in the recently premiered season 3 of MTV Show, Shuga.
The Media mogul Mo Abudu taking to her official social media handle on Friday 28th April 2023, posted a series of photos of her daughter Ted to celebrate her latest achievement, saying:
“My dearest daughter, my one and only. Showrunner and producer MTV Shuga…congratulations on the launch of MTV Shuga season 5. I am so proud of you. I know how hard you worked on this project,” she captioned the photos.
On Thursday, the highly anticipated fifth season of MTV Shuga Naija in which Mo Abudu’s daughter played a crucial part in bringing the series to life, premiered at an exclusive event in Lagos. The premiere kicked off with a press briefing that focused on the themes explored in the series, followed by a private screening of the new season.
The latest season boasts an impressive cast of both veterans and fast-rising actors, including Adesua Etomi-Wellington, John Njamah, Tomiwa Tegbe, Maggie Osuome, Okey Uzoeshi, Gbubemi Ejeye, Genoveva Umeh, Ilooise Omohimin, Sharon Jatto, Lexan Peters, Bolaji Ogunmola, and Susan Pwajok.
Big Brother Titans star Kanaga Jnr will play a leading role in the series, while Chioma Edak, who was discovered through the MTV Shuga Naija public auditions last year, will have a supporting role.
“This season, we have partnered with Unitaid, the Global Innovation Fund, and Paramount to address issues on gender-based violence, COVID-19 vaccine confidence, women’s empowerment, and modern contraception, as well as generate demand for the HIV self-testing kits now available in Nigeria,” stated Anita Adesiyan, Country Manager, MTV Staying Alive Foundation.
“True to our ethos of promoting safer lifestyle choices and advocating against harmful cultural practises through entertaining drama, the new MTV Shuga Naija season will give our viewers a broader perspective on everyday issues that affect young people as they try to find their place in the world,” Adesiyan added.
The new season follows the story of Moh (played by Gbubemi), a bright young woman who must make a difficult decision when her parents force her into an arranged marriage with an older man and her family’s benefactor.
