Maggi is bringing a fresh storytelling experience to Nigerian television with its latest limited series, ‘Tales of Ramadan.’ Premiering on March 1, 2025, the six-part series will air on major terrestrial and cable TV stations across Nigeria, including Zee World, Africa Magic, and NTA.
At the heart of Tales of Ramadan is an exploration of family, friendship, and food—themes that resonate strongly during the holy month. Set in Northern Nigeria, the series tells the interwoven stories of different families navigating the spiritual, emotional, and communal aspects of Ramadan. Through its compelling narratives, the show captures the essence of shared meals, cherished traditions, and the bonds that strengthen during this special time.
Bringing this vision to life is Conceptified Media, helmed by filmmakers Josh Olaoluwa and Orire Nwani. The series is directed by Orire Nwani and visually crafted by cinematographer Davidson ‘Fedworks’ Edeogu. Behind the scenes, a talented production team—including producers Josh Olaoluwa, Ifeoluwa Fatogun, and Hope Eniayekan—ensures the project’s execution aligns with its ambitious storytelling.
The screenplay is penned by Tomi Folowosele, while an impressive cast delivers powerful performances. ‘Tales of Ramadan’ features celebrated actors Uzee Usman, Ummi Baba Ahmed, Ijapari Ben-Hirki, and Adam Garba, each bringing their unique talents to this emotionally resonant production.
