Basically, this TV series concentrates on Bamidele\u2019s Family, which has Omolade\u2019s family as its extension. In the course of the story, some deal breakers that gave rise to distrust and deception in the respective homes came up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deception, which is a major issue in most homes is clearly interpreted in the story through the attitude of the Bamideles\u2019 domestic staff (Romoke) who was having a secret affair with the head of the home. More deceptive attitudes unfold as Chinedu (the gatekeeper) assumes the position of an economic adviser, while kasali (the driver) converts his boss\u2019 car to a commercial one just for personal gain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, the three characters were able to bring some kind of comic relief to the story, thereby relieving tension.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Seed of Shame\u2019 is a must watch for every home as it exhibits and corrects the negativity in the home that eventually adds up to the ills of the corrupt society we live in. \u2018Seed of Shame\u2019 states that nothing will forever be hidden; there will always be a reward for every shameful act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
