M-Net finally launches a station dedicated to the Igbos in Nigeria. After many year of successfully operating the Africa Magic Hausa and Yoruba channels, M-Net has announced the launch of Africa Magic Igbo. The 24 hour general entertainment channel is designed to showcase the rich Igbo culture of Nigeria and will go on air at 19:00 CAT on the 2nd of April, 2015. Africa Magic Igbo will be available on DStv channel 159.

Speaking on the launch, the Director, M-Net (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Africa Magic Igbo. Igbo language entertainment content has always played a prominent role in the Nigerian film and television industry and we are glad to offer a platform where this rich content can be showcased to the rest of Africa and the world. Popular Igbo language content like Living in Bondage, Nneka the Pretty Serpent and many others set the trend for the modern Nigerian film and television industry, or Nollywood as it’s called; it is thus only fitting that such content should be given a platform where it is easily accessible by audiences around the continent. With the launch of Africa Magic Igbo, we have once again proven our commitment to providing content made for Africa by Africans.”

The same tingz we dey watch for Africa Magic Hausa and Africa magic Yoruba.

Yeaahhh i cant wait,cos almost al English nollywood movie u must here igbo language there.am so happy

It is long overdue

I think channel O is a much more neutral channel and one of their other african magic stations be replaced with the new station instead of cutting off channel O.Is this the reason for the new hike in price? Hian! Mnet is pushing it oo just tooo far!
