Season 2 ( 2007-07-27)

Season one ended with Jacob's botched rescue of Baby Joe after Lerato called the cops, who arrived just as Bola and Jacob were about to swap baby Joe for the Abayomi Oil papers. Bola got away with the baby leaving Jacob heartbroken in the park. Jacob and Lerato were in the throes of a divorce before the kidnapping. Prospero and Jacob's friendship is in tatters because of Prospero's involvement in a consortium which included Bola seeking oil acreage in Nigeria Delta. Jacob's own moral fibre is in question – shaken by his mother's affair, his own identity and his friend's betrayal. He has fallen for old flame Zanele and left his marital home. He has made no real attempt to take the Abayomi throne or earn respect from his Nigerian family. He has distanced his mother and his business is precariously dangling on the Abayomi oil fortune which underwrites his power - station. Can Jacob turn things around and become the man Chief Abayomi believed him to be?

Season 3 ( 2008-06-04)

Jacob's Cross returns for a third season, beginning with a comprehensive recap episode to bring viewers up to speed on the first two seasons. The previous seasons introduced Jacob Makhubu, the son of a South African mother and a Nigerian father, as he travelled to Nigeria to secure backing for the business deal of a lifetime. But instead of the financial aid he sought from Chief Aboyami, head of the Nigerian Aboyami Empire, Jacob learned that the Chief was his true father. With this revelation, Jacob inherited not only a business empire, but also a family and a dream. At the beginning of Season 3, Jacob Abayomi, as he is now known, is the man of the moment. He has recently been named Businessman of the Year and his dreams of building a Pan-African empire are finally coming to fruition. His success in Nigeria with the Abayomi-Isoko oil deal has won him much credibility and popularity, but also the antagonism of the multinational oil companies.
