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 at a recent
world premiere of the soap at the Silverbird Cinemas, inside Ikeja City Mall, which
equally heralded its launch on air, 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…”
In his brief remarks,
elated Pastor Iluyomade thanked Okafor and his team for creating and production
such a wonderful and exciting soap. He called on Nigerians to learn from the
good storyline of the soap, which he described as a great work of art.
Below is the synopsis
of the spell binding and suspense-filled soap that took years to conceptualise.
“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).
