The able director said that BÒRÒKÌNÍ will get as many that have been surviving Zee World and all other Telenovela series REBORN.

“It flows like a novel, every clip like a page and that is why it is a TELENOVELA. In fact, it is the first in indigenous language, and the use of Yoruba is deliberate,” Fabusoro added.

BÒRÒKÌNÍ is a story that identifies with everyone and exudes power, culture, traditions and the present time!”

Hear Fabusoro: “BÒRÒKÌNÍ tells the story of those who wait for the opportunity to destroy you, those who nurse age long grudges, the friend who secretly envy you because gifts are not equal but BIDING HIS TIME. It is a mixture of talents and a compendium of amazing creativity.”
