Even if he does, he will not know how to deal with it. In the ring, I am guided by knowledge of technology and biology, both of which I studied in school. Both fields help me in determining what to do when I am in the ring. Segun will not go beyond three rounds. Mark my words,” he boasted.In the super featherweight division, Sodiq Oyakojo will face Lateef “Latest” Azeez.

Dividends: A Must-Watch Series on Africa Magic
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#.

Press Play on Nostalgia: Papa Ajasco, Superstory and More Return on GOtv
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#.
