Their lives collide when Ejikeme an investment banker comes home from the United States with Lola\u0027s brother Charlie to invest in Nigerian businesses. It is love at first sight for them and as they embark on a journey of discovering this new love, they have to contend with the political ambitions of Ejikeme\u0027s mother who is planning a marriage between him and the only daughter of Otunba Ayodeji, a political juggernaut who is considering Ejikeme\u0027s father as his running mate for the Nigerian Presidency. His mother\u0027s actions create a rift between Ejikeme and Lola that pits their families against one another with almost deadly results. Ejike\u0027s mother is a driven social butterfly with just one aim in mind, make her husband President and become the First Lady. Lola\u0027s mother is a psychologist with a cool temperament but she is pushed too far when her daughter is threatened. As the love story of Ejikeme and Lola unfolds, viewers will laugh, cry and root for true love all at once.\n\nIn \u00222 Weeks in Lagos\u0022 we witness the impact of superstitions on the Nigerian mind when a father tries to kill his young daughter who he has accused of being a demon child (Ogbanje in the local parlance), claiming she is the reason for his depressed business and his wife\u0027s sickness that had been going on since she was born. When he is stopped from doing this by Lola and her tailor Madam Eloho, he dumps the child on Madam Eloho and leaves without a backward glance. In Madam Eloho, the elasticity of the Nigerian psyche in dealing with difficulties is fully displayed as she takes on the child without giving it any though and declares that \u0022God will help us\u0022 when Lola questions her about being able to provide for the child.\n\n\u00222 Weeks in Lagos\u0022 captures the excitement and vibrancy of everyday life in Lagos and reflects the complexity of life in Lagos, a dynamic city where anything is possible in 2 Weeks. Through out the story, Nigerian traditions are explored in an authentic manner that is exciting, educative and poignant; biblical truths about mercy, love, and forgiveness are explored and naturally woven into the day-to-day lives of the protagonists in a truthful and respectful manner reflecting the deep faith of the typical Nigerian. From the crippling infamous Lagos traffic, to the daily hustle that makes up life on the streets of Lagos and a visit to the local street food vendors (Bukkas) serving up the best in local delicacies, \u00222 Weeks in Lagos will keep viewers glued to the screen from beginning to end.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Toyin Abraham","code":"nm2791239","characters":"Kemi"},{"name":"Bambo Adebowale","code":"nm12761946","characters":"Otunba Ayodeji"},{"name":"Lawal Aramide","code":"nm12761952","characters":"Traditional Marriage MC"},{"name":"Ayanlola Ayankunle","code":"nm12761953","characters":"Drummer 1"},{"name":"Shaffy Bello","code":"nm6823397","characters":"Mrs. Makinde"},{"name":"Busola Dele Davids","code":"nm12761947","characters":"Madam Eloho"},{"name":"Daniel Ezeali","code":"nm12761944","characters":"Chukwuemeka Security"},{"name":"Mawuli Gavor","code":"nm6325651","characters":"Ejikeme"},{"name":"Efe Irele","code":"nm10091294","characters":"Teniola"},{"name":"Tope Jegede","code":"nm12761955","characters":"Pastor"},{"name":"Jide Kosoko","code":"nm1367313","characters":"Dr. Makinde"},{"name":"Tina Mba","code":"nm3339311","characters":"Sisi Toyin"},{"name":"Joy Moses","code":"nm9072052","characters":"Party Guest"},{"name":"Beverly Naya","code":"nm4180684","characters":"Lola"},{"name":"Patrick Nnamani","code":"nm7700434","characters":"Hon.
