About UsDr. Damages Show is a weekly satirical online television show that airs every Saturday on SaharaTV. The show takes a caustic look at recent stories in politics and pop culture in Nigeria and around Africa.
Recorded in New York City studios of SaharaTV, the show makes caricature of political leaders in Africa. Dr. Damages show is in the tradition of a typical American late night talk show. Some have called him the Jon Stewart of Nigeria. Others have called him the David Letterman of Nigeria. “I’m a student of all those late night show,” Dr. Damages says. “My day is not over until I have watched the late night shows.” Dr. Damages Show’s format begins with a swipe at New York City, the home base of the show. Then it takes a swipe at America, typically Washington and the President. From there it picks an international story, his favorite being the Pope. It may touch an African country and then settles on Nigeria, its primary interest. |
Who We Are |
“Nigeria is a failed nation that works for the very people who has failed it,” Dr. Damages muses. “It stays that way because there are no natural consequences for their high crimes and misdemeanor. There are no forfeitures. The eternal damnation that various religions prescribe is virtual and unproven to many of these characters. Everything visible in their immediate environment reinforces their bad behaviors. As an individual, I have no power to impose any sanction. The only power that I have is the power to make fun of them. If it helps to make them reflect, I have excelled. If it only reduces their ego, my job is done.”
