Bittersweet Emotions As Fans Say Goodbye to Two of Africa Magic’s Hit Series, Riona and Enakhe this Friday
Fans of Africa Magic’s hit drama series, Riona and Enakhe, will on Friday, 24 September 2021 watch the season finale of both series after 260 episodes.
Both series which premiered on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv channel 151) on September, 28th 2020, have had good runs for over a year. The shows’ ending will make way for two new shows on the channel, Venge and Dilemma, which will premiere on Monday, 4th October 2021.
Viewers of Riona are gearing up for the final war and ‘Aghan’ and ‘Tsema’ fulfilling their destinies as the children of the dark moon. Avid followers of Enakhe, on the other hand, are looking to see how ‘Enakhe’ finally ends up on the show and what happens with ‘Cali’ and ‘Jacinta’.
Over the season, Riona has told a story of a wicked king and a village under siege. Rebellion loomed as the king, ‘Ofotokun’, does all he can to stop a dark prophecy from being fulfilled. Destiny is against him as ‘Tsema’ and ‘Aghan’, two children born under the dark moon, walk a complicated path on their way to fulfil the prophecy foretold. Riona features Elvina Ibru, Najite Dede, Frank Konwea, Amarachukwu Onoh, Maggie Isibor and many more talented actors with theatre backgrounds.
On the other hand, Enakhe was set in modern-day Benin City. It told the story of a rebellious daughter. After the sudden death of her father, she is forced by circumstances to grow in every way possible.
She had to become the leader of her extended family’s criminal empire while contending with physical and otherwise antagonists. The series was shot in Edo with a cast and crew made up mostly of indigenes of the state.
The cast of Enakhe includes notable names like Alex Usifo, Ivie Okujaye, Lancelot Oduwa Imaseun and Lota Chukwu.
Enakhe and Riona as well as the new shows coming to Africa Magic are demonstrations of MultiChoice Nigeria and Africa Magic’s commitment to investing in the Nigerian creative industry and local talents while telling stories that will resonate with the viewers.
Busola Tejumola, executive head of Content and West Africa Channels, MultiChoice, speaking on the finale of both series said, “These two shows have captivated audiences across Africa for a year.
“The cast, crew and production have been stellar, and fans will have a hard time saying goodbye to their favourite characters.
“But the end of these shows pave the way for new and more exciting African stories. As always, Africa Magic is committed to telling the African story, and we can’t wait to show you what we have been cooking.”
The final episode of Riona and Enakhe will premiere on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv channel 151) at 8 pm and 8:30 pm, respectively, on Friday, 24th September 2021.
Both series will remain available on the online streaming service, Showmax. DStv Premium customers get Showmax at no extra cost, whilst DStv Compact Plus, Compact, Confam and Yanga customers get it at half the price.

Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has announced the postponement of its maiden annual Public Relations, Reputation, Ideas, Concepts and Excellence (PRICE) Awards and Prizes to January 25, 2026.

The event, earlier scheduled for December 7, 2025, was deferred to accommodate stakeholders whose observance of Christmas festivities had commenced earlier than expected.
Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mr. Israel Opayemi, urged stakeholders to note the new date and prepare to participate in the ceremony.
He said the awards would motivate professionals, practitioners and scholars, while enhancing Nigeria’s global competitiveness in the public relations ecosystem and strengthening brand equity for all stakeholders.
Opayemi reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to delivering a best-in-class award administration and ceremony, describing the PRICE Awards as a credible and enduring platform to identify, celebrate and elevate outstanding individuals, campaigns and organisations shaping the public relations landscape across sectors.
The development of the PRICE Awards peaked in September 2025 when the NIPR President and Chairman, Council, Dr. Ike Neliaku, inaugurated a 12-man committee to organise the maiden edition. The inauguration followed the Council’s adoption of the report of a technical team tasked with establishing the awards.
Netflix has announced a landmark agreement to acquire Warner Bros. and HBO Max in a transaction valued at $82.7 billion, a move analysts say will reshape the global entertainment industry.

The deal, which includes Warner Bros.’ film and television studios, HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Games, was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. Under the terms, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix shares for each WBD share.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described the acquisition as “a defining moment” for the streaming giant, noting that the company intends to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations while expanding its production capacity.
“By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies with Netflix’s culture-defining titles, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling,” Sarandos said.
The transaction is expected to close within 12 to 18 months, following the planned spin-off of WBD’s TV networks division, Discovery Global, in 2026. Netflix projects annual cost savings of $2–3 billion by the third year after completion and expects the deal to be accretive to earnings per share by year two.
Industry groups, including the Directors Guild of America and Cinema United, have raised concerns about the impact on movie theaters, while regulators are expected to scrutinize the deal over antitrust issues. Netflix has pledged to continue supporting theatrical releases, with Warner Bros.’ cinema commitments running through 2029.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav hailed the agreement, saying it “combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love.”
Observers note that the acquisition comes 15 years after former Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes dismissed Netflix as “the Albanian army,” underscoring the dramatic shift in the entertainment landscape.
