Meet the Characters You’ll Love, Hate, or Side-Eye on Africa Magic Shows

Published

on

If you’ve spent any time glued to Africa Magic, you already know the characters aren’t just actors, they’re living rent-free in your head. Whether you’re rooting for the underdog, side-eyeing the shady bestie, or yelling “this man again?” every time a villain walks on screen, one thing’s for sure: Africa Magic knows how to build unforgettable characters.

Here’s a rundown of the personalities lighting up your screens, and why you can’t stop talking about them.

The Ones You Can’t Help But Love

Nnanna from Cheta’ M

Nnanna from Cheta’ M

Nnanna is deep in love, like “my whole world begins and ends with Adanna” kind of deep. He’s loyal, supportive, and always ready to stand up for their relationship, even when it’s clearly getting messier by the day. His heart’s in the right place… even if his judgment sometimes isn’t.

Odafe Jr from The Yard

Odafe wants real change. Passionate, principled, and gutsy, he’s taking on corruption at Ajagoro bus park, even when it puts him at odds with his own father. He believes in doing things the right way, and that kind of moral compass? Easy to love.

The Ones You Love to Hate

Tiny from Our Husband

Tiny from Our Husband

At first, you feel for Tiny. Her heartbreak feels raw and real. But the more her story unfolds, the more you start asking: How didn’t she know? Was she blind to the signs, or just willfully ignoring them? You want to root for her, but sometimes… It’s complicated.

The Ones You’ll Definitely Side-Eye

Dayo from Hustle

Dayo from Hustle

Dayo is the definition of good intentions, questionable execution. He’s just trying to survive Lagos, and he stays upbeat even while making the kind of decisions that’ll have you shouting at your screen. He’s messy, chaotic, and lowkey lovable… but your eyebrow is definitely raised.

Deino from Wings

Deino from Wings

As a journalist, Deino is fearless, smart, and principled. But behind the scenes, her personal life is anything but clear-cut. Her lines get blurry fast, and sometimes you’re not sure whether she’s upholding the truth or being pulled under by it. She’s sharp, but her moral compass? TBD.

Africa Magic has mastered the art of building layered, human characters who reflect real struggles, triumphs, and messy in-betweens. Whether they’re navigating love triangles, power struggles, or moral dilemmas, these characters feel real, which is why you’re still thinking about them long after the credits roll.

So next time you sit down to watch, prepare for the full emotional rollercoaster: the love, the rage, the eye-rolls, and the group chat debates. Because with Africa Magic, it’s never just a show,  it’s personal.
