Family TV series Sands of Time celebrated its one-year anniversary in grand style with the premiere of a highly anticipated new season entitled, We Happy People.
The celebratory event marked a milestone for the indigenous drama series, which first captured audiences with its debut season, ‘Affiong Go Lagos.’
Produced by Stellamaris Duru and directed by award winning director, Patience Oghre Imobhio, the new season promises over 30 compelling episodes filled with relatable storytelling, cultural values, and strong family themes.
Speaking at the premiere, Duru expressed deep gratitude for how far the show has come. “I’m speechless and overwhelmed,” she said. “I didn’t know I had made this much impact. Sands of Time was born out of the passion to tell indigenous stories that people can relate to, take lessons from, and see themselves in.”
