Sesame Street, Nigerian-Style On NTA.

Diaspora (Nigeria). Sesame Street will always be one of those shows that no matter what age you are, you can remember the time when it was your television show of choice. Watching Big Bird and Co. teach you all about your ABCs and 123s is a memory that we all share. And now, children all over Nigeria will be able to have those same fond memories, Nigerian style of course. It will be called Sesame Square, and  along with our faithful cast of characters, the Nigerian counterpart will feature a cabbie named Zobi, who is obessed with yams (Cookie Monster’s Nigerian equivalent, we would venture to guess) and furry five-year-old puppet named Kami, who is HIV-positive. Teaching kids about the disease, as well as others such as malaria will be a cornerstone of the show. Read more about the debut here. Do you think Sesame Street will be a hit in Africa?
