First Webisode Premiere of Shakara is Live!
The wait is over, the long awaited African Hidden Camera Reality TV show is finally available online today SUNDAY August 30th 2009 on SHAKARATV.COM. Subsequent webisodes will be uploaded for view every THURSDAY & SUNDAY 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST. This new Nigerian/African hidden camera practical joke television series still under production in Hollywood, California is hosted by OSAS LUCKY IZOGIE (aka "CROS").
This prank show is the long craved connection and the bridge to the gap that has long existed between Africans living back home in Africa and their relatives and friends visiting or residing here in the United States and other parts of the world.
Shakara is a Nigerian pidgin/broken English word for “flaunt” or “Show off” which means to display or behave in an ostentatious or conspicuous way in order to attract attention or impress people. It also stands for the English word “deceive” meaning to cause one to believe what is not true. It is on this later meaning that the show’s name is founded upon. To be on Shakara refers to having someone staged and caused to believe an untrue situation.
The series bears a strong likeness to both the classic hidden camera show Candid Camera and Punk’d but will not feature most of its pranks on celebrities. Instead, this new face of Nigerian/African comedy/reality television series showing on SHAKARATV.COM and set to hit the Nigerian/African airwaves later this year will feature ordinary Nigerians/Africans visiting and living in the United States.
