“I didn’t Want To Be The One To Start Fight”- Ebuka Speaks On New Reality Show

Media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has shed light on the trials and tribulations he encountered as the executive producer of the Prime Video original series, “Ebuka Turns Up Africa.”

In a recent interview with The Beat FM, Ebuka candidly discussed the unique challenges he faced while spearheading the production of the reality show, describing the experience as “different” on various levels.

The reality series, which premiered on Prime Video on March 1, 2024, follows Ebuka’s journey across the African continent alongside Nollywood stars Timini Egbuson, Zubby Michael, Jimmie Akinsola, Onoja Adole, and Alistair Englebert Preston.

Reflecting on his dual role as both a cast member and an executive producer, Ebuka expressed the pressure he felt to ensure the success of the project. “It felt different for me on so many levels. This is sort of putting myself out there, and it was also my very first project as an executive producer, so it was a lot for me,” he remarked. “While I was a cast member, I think I was also very burdened by the fact that this thing has to work out as well as it should.”

Additionally, Ebuka addressed the tensions that arose among the male participants on the show, acknowledging the interpersonal dynamics that inevitably come into play during such endeavours. However, he emphasized his reluctance to instigate conflict, stating, “I didn’t want to be the one to start the fight.”
