The one we have now has 22 episodes. It’s on the site – ‘The Igwe Must Hear This’. I came up with the idea: the name, the style – because I used to really love something called “Ichuko.” It is like a modern remake of “Ichuko,” she said about the original TV shows on the site.

So far, we have 10 reality shows and 21 TV shows. More content is on the way. What we have currently is just one percent of what we want to do. We just wanted to launch so people can see some of what we’ve done.

Right now, some of my staff are already on different locations, producing more shows, because we plan to do much more.
