After 13 amazing years of incredible television, the Africa Magic award-winning sitcom, “The Johnsons,” is coming to an end.
Produced by Rogers Ofime, it follows the story of an average Nigerian family living in Lagos, Nigeria. It portrays their challenges and how they navigate life’s myriad obstacles. The show features a talented cast including Chinedu Ikedieze, the late Ada Umeh, Samuel Ajibola, Olumide Oworu, Susan Pwajok, Seun Osigbesan, Kunle Bamtefa, and Charles Inojie, who also directed the show.
The lead actor of the hit family show, Charles Inojie, known for his role as Mr. Lucky Johnson, took to his Instagram page to announce the news. He also shared a heartfelt message with the cast and crew of the show.
In 2022, the show won the Best Original Comedy Series at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards and was nominated for the same award in 2023. “The Johnsons” was a popular show that captivated audiences of all ages, both adults and children. It will be missed by many Nigerians.
Here’s how Nigerians reacted to the news:
felt some sadness learning The Johnsons has come to an end. but really, big thanks to @africamagictv and team for the memories that will stay with me for life. The Johnsons was part of my childhood and i am grateful for all the laughter.
The popular African magic family TV show “THE JOHNSONS” take a bow, after 13years of amazing episodes back to back.
It wasn’t the same after “Emu” Ada Ameh d!ed , but these scenes and Ada Ameh will forever be here may her soul continue to rest in peace pic.twitter.com/dg3IoY1IZ1
Ada Ameh, your art on The Johnsons left an indelible mark on the society. Though you may be gone but your legacy continues to inspire and uplift us. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Your impact will be cherished forever.
After 13 years of being on our screens, ‘The Johnsons’ has finally come to an end
13 years of consistently putting smiles on our faces though it was never the same after Ada Ameh’s deàth.
What an incredible run! I enjoyed every bit of it. This has to be one of the most interesting shows that has ever been aired on Africa Magic.#AdaAmeh would forever be remembered for her effortless show of talent on this show.
The earlier seasons of this show was a huge “comedic renaissance” in Nollywood. The jokes were hilarious, the actors had an impeccable sense of comedic timing and the writing was good. There’d been a lull in comedy TV since Fuji House x Papa Ajasco. The Johnsons did a thing https://t.co/kLSaMIUS2y

<h2>The Ondo command of the southwest security network, known as <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/amotekun/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amotekun</a>, has taken disciplinary action against three of its officers due to their involvement in professional misconduct.</h2>
<p>These individuals were reportedly engaged in both human trafficking and burglary activities within the state.</p>
<p>The state commander of Amotekun, Adetunji Adeleye, addressed the issue while parading seven suspects to the public at the command headquarters on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Out of these suspects, three were implicated in human trafficking, while the remaining four were apprehended for breaking into houses.</p>
<p>Adeleye emphasized that the dismissed officers would face legal consequences in accordance with the corps's established regulations, <strong>Naija News</strong> reports.</p>
<p>Furthermore, he revealed that some of the stolen electronic devices have been recovered, and investigations are currently underway to apprehend the robbers who managed to escape upon encountering the Amotekun operatives.</p>
<p><em>“Today, we have three Amotekun personnel who went through the normal process of court martial and are being dismissed today for professional misconduct,”</em> Adeleye said.</p>
<p>He added, “They cease to be members of Amotekun Ondo state corps as from now, and we will ensure that adequate punishment is<em> meted out to them even after dismissal.</em></p>
<p><i>“Out of the seven suspects we are parading today, we have three that were arrested for human trafficking cases, and we have four others that were arrested for housebreaking.</i></p>
<p><em>“And we were able to retrieve all the items stolen from their operation, which would be handed over to the rightful owners.</em></p>
<p><em>“However, this is to reconfirm that the response to distress calls is actually working for us in order to reduce crime to the minimum.”</em></p>
<p><em>He urged residents to assist the corps with more credible intelligence information.</em></p>
<p><em>“To commuters, we advise you to reduce travelling late in the night, and early in the morning. However, we will commence our 24-hour patrol from the end of this week to ensure safety.</em></p>
<p><em>“We want to encourage the good people of Ondo state to give us timely information to work for them.”</em></p>

To win a prize, you need to match at least three numbers. Matching more numbers and/or the bonus can boost your winnings.</p><p>Prizes are divided into categories, and payouts depend on ticket sales. Here's a typical prize breakdown:</p><ul>
<li><strong>7/7 (jackpot)</strong> — average of $47.5 million (but an estimate of that draw's jackpot is shown when you buy your ticket)</li>
<li><strong>6/7 plus bonus</strong> — average of $194,405</li>
<li><strong>6/7</strong> — average of $4,629 </li>
<li><strong>5/7 plus bonus</strong> — average of $926 </li>
<li><strong>5/7</strong> — average of $105 </li>
<li><strong>4/7 plus bonus</strong> — average of $50 </li>
<li><strong>4/7</strong> — $20 fixed prize</li>
<li><strong>3/7 plus bonus</strong> — $20 fixed prize</li>
<li><strong>3/7</strong> — free play </li>
</ul><p>The jackpot starts at $10 million and can climb to a massive $80 million if it isn’t won. Once the jackpot hits $50 million, additional Maxmillions prizes — $1 million each — are added. These are separate draws, and to win one, you need to match all seven numbers on a single line.</p><p>Every set of numbers on your ticket is eligible for both the main draw and any Maxmillions draws, giving you more chances to win. Sales close at 10:30 p.m. ET on draw nights.</p><p>The odds of winning the jackpot are around 1 in 33 million, but your chances of taking home any prize are about 1 in 7.</p><p>Good luck, Montreal!</p><p><em>If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, refer to <a href="https://aidejeu.ca/en/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these resources available across Quebec</a>.
