Women Who Run the Show: Africa Magic’s Fierce Female Leads

Africa Magic has been a home for some of the most beautiful stories on Nigerian television. Stories brought to life by strong, inspiring, and iconic female characters. From drama to reality and comedy, these women captivate the audience with their action, resilience, depth, and ability to interpret their roles so well.

Whether it’s Gbemi and Toolz using their voices to engage and empower, Mimi Chaka (Mofe) commanding respect in a king’s court, or Oluchi Amajuoyi (Adanna) leading with wisdom, these women prove that storytelling remains one of the most powerful ways to honour and celebrate women’s roles in society.

Let’s shine the spotlight on some of these remarkable female leads and the shows they bring to life.

Gbemi and Toolz—Off Air With Gbemi and Toolz

Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi and Tolu Oniru-Demuren are two dynamic media personalities who have made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. Their show, Off Air With Gbemi and Toolz, is a bold and engaging take on pop culture, social issues, and trending topics. Beyond their lively banter and humour, these women exemplify intelligence, confidence, and authenticity. They create a space for open conversations, empowering their audience, especially women, to own their voices and perspectives unapologetically.

Catch Off Air With Gbemi and Toolz on Africa Magic Showcase, GOtv Channel 8, every Thursday at 1:00 PM.

Mimi Chaka as Oniyemofe—Riona

Mimi Chaka brings grace and depth to her portrayal of Oniyemofe, the fourth and favourite wife of King Ofotonku in Riona. Mofe is not just a queen but a woman who understands her worth. She moves with elegance, aware of the influence she holds as the mother of the heir to the throne. Her character represents resilience and the quiet power that comes with being a woman in a position of influence.

Catch Riona at 7:30 am every Monday-Friday on Africa Magic Family, GOtv Channel 2.

Lanre Ayanwale as Iyoma—Omera

Iyoma, played by Lanre Ayanwale in Omera, is a character that embodies strength and wisdom. She is a woman navigating the complexities of power, tradition, and family, making choices that often demand both courage and sacrifice. Her role highlights the inner strength of women who hold families and societies together, often behind the scenes but with undeniable impact.

Catch Omera at every Monday-Friday at 8:00 pm on Africa Magic Showcase, GOtv Channel 8.

Dupe Jayesimi as Iya Biliki—Irora Iya

While Irora Iya is packed with drama and intrigue, Dupe Jayesimi’s performance as Iya Biliki stands out as proof of the power of women in storytelling. She takes on a role that captures the struggles and triumphs of women who fight for their beliefs, love, and legacy. Her journey is one of resilience, showing that strength is not just in loud declarations but in the ability to endure and rise above challenges.
Catch Irora Iya on Africa Magic Yoruba, GOtv Channel 5, every day at 6:30 PM.

Oluchi Amajuoyi as Adanna—Cheta M

Adanna is a compelling character in the Africa Magic Original Series Cheta M, played by Oluchi Amajuoyi. As the eldest daughter of a council member and the second-in-command of the Umuade women, Adanna is a figure of grace and wisdom. She carries the burden of leadership with humility while possessing a rare gift of foresight. Her love story with Nnanna is bittersweet, a tale of love and loss that adds depth to her character. She is a symbol of how women navigate duty, love, and destiny, often making the toughest sacrifices.
Catch Cheta M every Monday- Friday at 9:00 pm on Africa Magic Showcase, GOtv Channel 8.

A new kind of story is unfolding on Africa Magic Showcase, and it’s one that feels all too familiar.
Dividends, a gripping Nigerian dramedy, dives into the emotional and financial fallout of a failed Ponzi scheme, placing everyday realities at the centre of its storytelling.
Premiered on March 30, 2026, Dividends airs Mondays to Wednesdays at 8:30 PM WAT on Africa Magic Showcase (GOtv Channel 8), and is also available for streaming on DStv and GOtv Stream, making it easily accessible for viewers to follow every twist as it unfolds.
At the heart of the series is “The Golden Bars,” a too-good-to-be-true investment scheme that ultimately collapses, leaving devastation in its wake. What follows is a layered narrative that tracks the lives of three strangers brought together by shared loss of money, stability, and, in many ways, identity.
Through its characters, Dividends explores themes that resonate deeply within the Nigerian context: the lure of quick wealth, the pressure to succeed, and the quiet resilience required to rebuild when everything falls apart. It’s a story that doesn’t just entertain, it reflects.
Leading the story is Riyo David as Isa, alongside a dynamic cast including Ronnie Dikko, Omattuteejames, Cassiee_jae, Floydigbo, and Koko_ashley, each bringing depth to a narrative shaped by ambition, desperation, and consequence.
Blending drama, suspense, and social commentary, Dividends sparks conversation. As the series unfolds, viewers can expect to be drawn into a world where choices carry weight, and every decision has a ripple effect.
For audiences looking for something both engaging and thought-provoking, Dividends fast becoming one to watch.To upgrade, subscribe, or reconnect, download the MyGOtv App or dial *288#.

There was a time when Sunday evenings meant one thing: everyone gathered in the living room, eyes glued to the TV, waiting for Superstory to begin. It wasn’t just another show, it was a ritual. Phones were put aside, dinner was timed perfectly, and conversations paused the moment that familiar theme song came on. For many families, it became a tradition, a shared experience that brought laughter, suspense, and lessons that lingered long after the credits rolled.That same feeling, that warm wave of nostalgia, is exactly what WAP TV is keeping alive.With a lineup of timeless classics like Superstory, Akpan and Oduma, Ikebe Super, Papa Ajasco and Company, and Turtle Taido Game Show, the channel isn’t just airing old content, it’s reopening a window into moments that defined childhood for so many Nigerians. These are the shows that shaped humour, created inside jokes, and introduced characters that felt like extended family.Papa Ajasco and Company gave us exaggerated comedy that somehow always reflected real-life situations, while Akpan and Oduma delivered a unique blend of streetwise humour and unforgettable chemistry. Ikebe Super pushed boundaries with its bold, comedic storytelling, and Turtle Taido Game Show brought a playful, competitive energy that had everyone shouting answers from their seats at home.But beyond the laughter, what makes these shows special is the feeling they carry. Watching them again isn’t just entertainment, it’s memory. It’s being transported back to simpler times, when the biggest decision was where to sit in the living room and who controlled the remote.In a world where content moves fast and trends change even faster, there’s something comforting about returning to the stories that once brought everyone together. WAP TV understands that nostalgia isn’t just about the past, it’s about connection. And by bringing these classics back to our screens, they’re giving a new generation a chance to experience that same magic, while reminding others of where it all started.To catch up with all these shows and more, tune in to WAP TV on GOtv Channel 129, where the memories live on and the laughter never really leaves.To subscribe, upgrade, or reconnect, download the MyGOtv App or dial *288#.
