When Africa Magic announced that Chichi Nworah would be producing its most prominent series in recent times and that it would be titled ‘Slum King’, people wondered about Chichi’s newfound obsession with the slums. She was still reeling from her ‘Shanty Town’ success, shot deep in the ghetto; now, she was about to put her name on another ‘slum’ story.
