Recently, the Old Ballroom of the Oriental Hotel in Lagos was the scene
of an extravagant display of colour, glitz and glamour as the entertainment
industry’s finest came out to celebrate the launch of Africa Magic’s new

the best content made by Africa for Africans. This is in line with our
investment strategy and our long lasting relationship with the African entertainment
industry. It is also in line with this that we are launching Do-Good, a
first of its kind Pidgin-English sitcom airing on Africa Magic Urban, which
promises to be a hit with comedy lovers across the continent.”
Do-Good is a spin-off of the popular 1990s Nigerian drama series, Candlelight,
and features the exploits of the titular character Do-good, played by Tariah,
who returns from his travels abroad to woo his sweetheart Emem, a character
played by popular Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw. The show is the latest

on Do-Good.
Mba-Uzoukwu added: “It is an exciting time for Africa Magic as Do-Good
marks a return to television for Kate Henshaw and Basorge Tariah Jnr. Many of
you remember when they previously acted as Emem and Do-Good respectively in Candlelight,
andthe launch of Do-Good introduces these characters to old and new
audiences alike, by telling an exciting and funny story of ambition and finding
love. Our viewers should make sure to tune in and catch all the fun and humour
that Do-Good brings to the screen.”
