Abiba is a local groceries seller in a typical middle class neighbourhood in Africa. She sells everything in her shop; from groceries to cosmetics, from scratch cards to detergents. Abiba’s shop is a melting pot for everyone in the community; the long suffering homemaker, the retired civil servant, the controversial pastor and the flirtatious hairdresser.
Perched at a strategic junction, the shop is given verve by the seductive assistant, Sadia, and the crooked muppets, Danger and Skido. Around the corner is an international students hostel, The Umoja, a place of beautiful women and lots of scandal.
Enacted in English, Abiba is a situational comedy full of wit, humour, adventure and drama. Abiba’s allure is the fact that it closely captures the ethos of the real life African situation.
