About Me
OLIVER MBAMARA

Mbamara is a dynamic figure whose career spans law, literature, filmmaking, and performance arts. Graduating from the University of Lagos and Nigerian Law School, he embarked on a dual career path, practicing law in Nigeria while nurturing his passion for writing, poetry, and theater. His journey led him to the United States, where he not only became a licensed attorney but also delved into the vibrant worlds of literature and cinema. Mbamara ventures into television production with "Cultures," a humorous exploration of cultural differences aimed at fostering tolerance. The series follows an African chief sent to America to find a wife for his son, Ozobio, who has assimilated into American culture. However, upon arrival, he discovers Ozobio's engagement to an American woman, sparking a clash of cultures and Ozobio's inner conflict.
