Shanty Town is a multi-lingual Nigerian thriller, drama that stars Ini Edo, Chidi Mokeme, Nancy Isime, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Peter Okoye and Richard Mofe-Damijo, among other cast members. 


The story revolves around three unusual prostitutes who unite to take down one of the biggest criminal rings in Lagos state.


Nigerian actor, Chidi Mokeme has talked about how he was able to pull of his act in the six-part television series.

Chidi Mokeme has won the hearts of many fans after his portrayal of the kingpin Scar.

Chidi, in a BBC Pidgin interview on Thursday talked about the drastic changes he had to undergo, plus extremes in order to play his part.


Some of the body modifications I did to enter into the character of Scar was to shave off my hair and go bald. I also did not take my bath for a few days before going on set so that when they say I should do something dirty, I can do it freely because I know I am not clean.

Sometimes I don’t brush my teeth and when I open my mouth to talk to people, they wonder what kind of a person I am.

I don’t smoke but I had to smoke about three packets per day to make my voice sound the way it did in the series.”

Chidi Mokere

Controversial six-part series Shanty Town is available on Netflix.
