Also launching on 25 September on AM Igbo Ch. 159 is an African Magic original Igbo drama series called Iwe (Anger). Iwe focuses on the story of two kingdoms, Oba-Ekwe and Idu Amaja, who were once called Iduna Oba. However, prosperity, jealousy, and greed caused them to separate, leaving each royal sibling to talk over half.
