So, gather your popcorn and loved ones, and enjoy these five love-filled films we’ve handpicked for you to enjoy this Valentine’s.

1. Manfriend: As the title implies, you can tell that “Manfriend” is a TV show that looks at relationships. The show follows the King sisters – Dooshima, Doosuur, and Mimidoo – as they try to navigate the ups and downs of life, love, and family. Each sister faces unique challenges in their romantic life, but they are all determined to overcome them and find happiness.

It airs every Friday at 8:30 pm on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv Ch. 151 and GOtv Ch. 12).

2. The Theory of Breakfast: This show will leave you questioning whether or not it’s about food or the Nigerian slang, “breakfast”. The Theory of Breakfast serves viewers with forbidden romance and unexpected twists. Ebitimi and Laolu, lifelong friends, get entangled in emotions when an engagement and wedding plans go wrong. With secret breakups and family drama, they must face their buried feelings as they resurface. Can they navigate the complexities of love and friendship, or will their breakfast table become a battleground of heartbreak? Tune in every Monday and Tuesday at 9 pm on Africa Magic Showcase to uncover the answer!

These “Oyibo wives” seamlessly blend their husbands’ culture into their lives, learning the language, embracing traditions, and savouring traditional dishes. In one episode, Gordana Osuji Okpara even prepares Oha soup in Switzerland after shopping for ingredients at an African store. This heartwarming series showcases the beautiful lengths love can take us, and we all love to see it.
