Super-exciting news. EbonyLife TV in conjunction with producers of ABC TV series- Desperate Housewives will be airing the African version of Desperate Housewives series. Scheduled to hit the airwaves by 2014, the comedy/drama series will be set&shot in Lagos, one of the locations is Adiva Estates, Lekki.

The series which already has four versions in Argentina, Brazil, Columbia and Turkey will feature an African cast and will be belted across 44 countries in Africa. We have no idea the crop of actors that would be featured in but we trust they would be the best ones.

Speaking more on the project, Mo' Abudu stated, "We are going to make it relevant, number one, by using local talent — talent that our viewers will know and love; two, we are going to work with local stylists, local fashion designers, local interior designers.

She continued, "We are going to give the stories an African flavour. We will localize it, because there's nothing the West has that Africa doesn't have. We love, we fight, we kiss and we make up. We like all the good things in life. There's good and there's evil globally. So all those human interests, those things that appeal to you, believe me, appeal to us also"
