Top stage and screen stars are set to thrill viewers in A Thorn in the Flesh, the season three of Family Ties.

On the hit list are Kola Oyewo, Nobert Young, Adejumo Lewis, Steph-Nora Okere and Amaechi Muonagor.

The serial, produced by AK MEDIA Concepts and directed by award-winning Niji Akanni, promises to be educative and entertaining. In A Thorn in the Flesh, James and Olayinka Adubi are brothers bound by blood, separated by status. Olayinka is a successful Architectural Engineer with clientele of high class. As a disciplined gentleman, Yinka lays emphasis on moral values and peaceful existence for all.


Married to Yemisi, a retired health worker who works as a consultant to an NGO, they are blessed with two boys, Yomi and Sola.


The older brother, James Adubi, is a Warrant Officer 2 retired soldier who brags around that he retired as a major to receive undue respect from people. James Adubi is greedy and desperate; he looks for money by any means. One of his strategies for making unlawful income is by using his last daughter, Nifemi, as examination mercenary.

Married to Adesuwa with three children, James Adubi’s prime victim of extortion is his younger brother, Yinka, because the latter is ready to please him, hinged on the legacy of unity left by their deceased father being monitored by their uncle, Lucas Adubi, who brokers peace between the duo in times of discord.

The producers say in a statement, “A Thorn in the Flesh is the story of how these brothers and their families cross lives with cataclysmic effects when the goodwill and loving assistance of the successful Yinka inspires envy, hatred and lust to destroy in discontent James.”
