Setting
The story is set in Accra Ghana where a young man named Dada Boat, played by Mikki Osei Berko, is involved in various comical situations and scams. The comedy in Dada Boat arises from his attempt to imitate African American Hip-Hop culture, which is somewhat frowned upon by the Ghanaian locals. He is often seen wearing various items of jewellery and in particular, a large chain. His best friend is Hotman, another character in the programme. Although the story is fictional, it is set in a real life setting, unlike other programmes, which are often recorded on specially made sets. Dada Boat is a relative of the actor in Taxi Driver known as Master Richard. They are both played by the Ghanaian actor Mikki Osei Berko.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“One of my playmates, who was apprenticed to a printer, and was somewhat of a wag, asked his master one afternoon if he might go a-fishing, and his master consented. He was gone three months. When he came back, he said that he had been to the Grand Banks, and went to setting type again as if only an afternoon had intervened.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We don’t arrive at it by standing on one leg or on the first day of our setting out—but though we may jostle one another on the way that is no reason why we should strike or trample—elbowing’s enough.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Many working mothers feel guilty about not being at home. And when they are there, they wish it could be perfect.... This pressure to make every minute happy puts working parents in a bind when it comes to setting limits and modifying behavior.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
