Orange City will follow the ever-optimistic Wahala, a popular musician, who lives with his “ex-military grandmother”. When his uncle, a well-known politician, invests into his indie record label, Orange City, Wahala and his feckless team start a hilarious journey, revealing the reality of stardom in Nigeria.
Speaking about Orange City, the creator, Somto Ajuluchukwu said:
“I’m inspired by Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening, and so I wanted to create a story that adults could connect to, using elements of our culture such as our music, politics and street culture.”
