Oasis, which is a
sequel to the now rested Heavensgate from Zulu Films also, has Pastor Idowu Iluyomade
as the executive producer and is expected to hit air nationwide this October.
Speaking with
SHOWBIZPLUSng at a recent world press conference/media preview heralding the
launch of Oasis, elated Okafor said the tele-novella was painstakingly
conceived and specially written for Nigerians at home and those in the Diaspora.
“Oasis, is not
just a soap, it is a complete family package that will educate, inform,
entertain and help redirect the ill focus of our youths. It is our special gift
to Nigerians who are already bored watching foreign soaps on air every day.
Oasis is the new face of Nigerian entertainment on TV…”
Below is the
synopsis of the spell binding and suspense-filled soap that took years to conceptualize.
“KK is a cult
boy. Irresistibly handsome, cold and dangerous, he has never loved a girl.
When he meets the
adorable Paris, he seems to have found his first love.
But, brainwashed
by the cultic characters around him, what would have probably been an amazing
love would turn out a most turbulent and devastating encounter that will leave
Paris blind from KK’s barbaric violence. For her soul pricking disappointment, Paris
will denounce God. And the cult boy, KK, will surrender his life and everything
to God having escaped a near fatal accident.
When they meet
again three years later, KK will be a business man and a roving preacher. And
Paris? A blind girl stuck at home, seemingly hopeless. KK will lie about
his name as a blind Paris seems to recognize his voice. He will eventually
marry this girl as his gory past haunts him. But on the day Paris gives birth
to their baby, her sight is restored as the baby bounces out. Then and then she
will discover that her husband was the guy she knew in school as KK. So, why
did he lie about his name? What is he trying to hide? Could he be the masked
man that raped her? Now, even the sun will stand still for this mind
blowing encounter, a chilling story of love, never told before.”
But Oasis is also
about Kaylah Tomi Savage. Only 22 and in love with a First Class Law student
,Oreva Amata, Kaylah finds in Oreva the ideal man of her teenage dreams.
However, when she
mentions his name to her mother, Olufunmi, a tragic story of 20 years that
evokes the sad memory of her father’s betrayal and mysterious murder in prison
will reverberate.
Oreva and Kaylah,
the very best of friends and ideal love will walk through a crucible with
Kaylah’s sword against the soul of her once heartthrob.
It will be
Oreva’s darkest moments. And it will surely be Kaylah’s purgatory.
“Oasis is
evocative. It is a timeless lesson for every man. And a memory bell for
every woman”, added Okafor, the current national president of the Association
of Movie Producers (AMP).
