Premiered on 30 December, the first episode of Africa Magic Showcase’s Uriri was nothing short of intense—so much so that social media couldn’t stop talking about it! From the breathtaking display of Urhobo culture to the gripping drama, here’s what you loved most about the premiere:

The Stunning Montage

Uriri’s opening montage paid homage to the Urhobo people, beautifully weaving in key elements that will shape the story as it unfolds. Viewers couldn’t get enough of the cinematic visuals and cultural richness!

The Star-Studded Cast

From Osarehia Orosanya (Serome) to Philip Asaya (Ovie), Uriri brings together familiar faces from The Theory of Breakfast, Masquerades of Aniedo, Italo, and Slum King. Their return to the screen had fans hyped!

The Mysterious Erivwin

Known as Oto Egba’s witch doctor, Erivwin made an unforgettable first impression with her spiritual gifts—reading people’s futures right from episode one! While some felt she was overstepping when she offered Serome a glimpse into her fate, others were eager to see if her visions would come true.

The Shocking Bloodshed

The moment Ovie killed the Benin emissary sent shockwaves through social media. While some fans justified the act after the emissary insulted the King and his wife, others thought Ovie should have kept his temper in check. Did the emissary and his men deserve their fate? 

The Okakuro’s Power Moves

After Ovie let his rage take over, his right-hand man—the Okakuro—stepped in to clean up the mess. The master strategist orchestrated a plan to shift the blame by disposing of the emissary’s entourage in a neighboring town. His problem-solving skills left viewers in awe, solidifying him as a character to watch!
