My Siblings and I S1-3
It’s a non-stop comedy ride with the Aberuagbas on Africa Magic’s comedy sitcom My Siblings and I, now also streaming on Showmax. The show centres around the lives of the members of the Aberuagba family comprising of parents Solomon Aberuagba, a retired army brigadier general who typically serves as the voice of reason, his dramatic wife, who never fails to hound their eldest daughter about marriage, and their seven children.
The Aberuagbas’ first child is Stanley, a laid-back IT professional who is married to the fashionable and bossy Vivian. She is often at loggerheads with her sister-in-law, Lilian. Stanley and Vivian are parents to two children. Lilian is the second child and first daughter of the Aberuagba clan. Unmarried and still living at home with her parents, Lilian, who is a police officer, often has to play peacemaker with her siblings while enduring endless jabs and hookup attempts by her mother, who is desperate for her daughter to get married.
Femi Aberuagba is the nerd of the family. An IT professional, Femi rocks the boat when he brings home an oyibo (white) girlfriend, much to the delight of his siblings and chagrin of his mother. Dave is the ne’er-do-well fourth child of the family. A computer science graduate and work-out freak, he has attempted several businesses without any real success. Nnenna is at university; sensible and with a phobia of dirt, she often gets into squabbles with brother James, who is also an undergraduate, and Angela, the 16-year old last-born of the family and resident busy body.
My Siblings and I, now in its third season, was created by Funke Akindele of the widely popular Jenifa’s Diary and co-directed by JJC Skillz and Olasukami Adebayo. Watch new episodes every Monday night, when they arrive on Showmax at the same time as they air on Africa Magic. Better yet, binge-watch the whole show from season 1!
