You can be assured that you have the best seat in the house to watch the following:
1. BBNaija Level Up Finale:
This season of BBNaija has been dramatic, ridiculously hilarious, and super interesting, but it’s sadly ending this weekend. Even though many fans will be sad to see the electric season round-up, the big question on everyone’s lips is – ‘who will be crowned the winner of BBNaija Level Up?’
Fans are currently voting via the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps, as well as on the mobile and website, to ensure their favourite housemate secures a spot as this season’s winner. Find out how it goes when the finale airs on all Africa Magic channels from 7 pm on Sunday, October 2.
2. Felabration:
The annual festival created to celebrate Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti also starts this weekend on September 29, 2022, with the art competition at the Kalakuta Museum, and DStv is covering every moment of Lagos’ biggest annual entertainment festival. From September 29 till the celebrations end on October 16, DStv will bring excitement to viewers on a pop-up Channel, DStv 198. It’s available from Yanga to Premium package.
3. Covenant and Itura:
Two brand new Africa Magic original series will premiere this long weekend, bringing the break to a glorious end. COVENANT tells the story of three seeming strangers on a perilous journey that will change them in ways they cannot imagine. Their journey takes us through their lives as they discover truths that unite them, rock their worlds and ultimately lead them to take vows and make the greatest sacrifice possible through a Covenant.
On the other hand, ITURA is an epic drama series about the nascent kingdom of Ibaokuta and its struggle for peace. The beloved king, Jagungbade, desires an empire based on equality, love, justice, prosperity and peace. He is beleaguered by the many different interests which change the course of events in his life and the lives of his people.
Covenant premieres on Monday, October 3 at 8:00 pm on AM Showcase (DStv Channel 151), while Itura will air every weeknight from Monday, October 3, 2022, at 8:30 pm on AM Showcase (DStv Channel 151).
