Winner of the Big Brother Naija season 4, Mercy Eke, is billed to star in Trips, an Ogelle flagship series, alongside Mr Macaroni and Father DMW.

The flagship series by the streaming platform is set to follow the lives and experiences of three taxi drivers.

It also stars popular comedians Mr Macaroni and Father DMW. The new series is set to be directed by Otu Njama.

The story centres around Chidiebere (played by Mercy), a female driver with a myriad of cash woes, Sikiru (played by Mr Macaroni), a married cab driver who is a chronic womaniser, and Baba Go Slow (played by Father DMW), a highly obnoxious fellow.

The series chronicles the activities of these drivers and their unscrupulous passengers.

Confirming her involvement in the new TV production, Eke wrote on Instagram: "I’m happy to announce that I will be starting in a new TV series called *TRIPS*. Trips is a series about the lives & experiences of three e-taxi drivers. Other actors include @mrmacaroni1 & @fatherdmw55 as well as a host of top actors."
