Africa Magic Originals proudly stood out at the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), with three remarkable shows earning prestigious accolades. Nigerian Idol, My Fairytale Wedding, and Zi M Uzo were honoured for their excellence in storytelling, creativity, and cultural resonance.
Nigerian Idol hits the right notes
Kassim Sulaiman and Anneke De Ridder did that with Nigerian Idol, bagging the Best Unscripted M-Net Original award. Honestly, if you’ve watched even one episode, you know this show is peak drama, vocals, tears, and triumphs. From standing ovations to “it’s a no from me” moments, Nigerian Idol continues to deliver. Catch the Live Show every Sunday at 7 PM on all Africa Magic channels and prepare to yell “yassss” at your TV. Or cry. Or both.

My Fairytale Wedding said “I Do” to a win
Love was definitely in the air and on the stage as My Fairytale Wedding won Best Scripted M-Net Original. Shout out to Chinenye Nworah and Taiwo Adebayo for creating a show that’s all glitz, glam, and full-on bridezilla breakdowns (in the best way possible).

Zi M Uzo walked the cultural walk
Talk about flying the indigenous flag high! Zi M Uzo, led by Nnodim Chigozie, won Best Indigenous M-Net Original, and rightfully so. With rich language, tradition, and stories, this show has brought indigenous authenticity to screens with style. Seriously, if you’ve not seen it yet, what are you even watching?
