Cast

• Chinedu Ikedieze as Efetobore Johnson: The eldest son and by far the most brilliant, skillful with his words and often educates his family on spelling. He is usually narrating during episodes and abhors being called out for his height.
• Olumide Oworu as Tari Johnson; the third youngest child in the Johnson family. A lily-livered teenager, he often gets caught up in trends like dreadlocks, and always lies to girls when trying to impress them, which always ends up getting him in trouble, such as lying about his parents having a swimming pool in the third season.
• Ada Ameh as Emuapor Johnson; the mother of the family, often unappreciated because of her lack of formal education and limited vocabulary, but is the spine of the family. She got much smarter in the third season.
• Sharon Abadoni/Susan Pwajok as Blessing Johnson; the youngest child who almost always gets what she wants, and goes on a hunger strike when she doesn't. She always gets her way, and doesn't like her other siblings getting attention, as shown when she ran away from home in season 3. Her favourite movie is Cinderella and she loves coconut cake.
• Charles Inojie as Lucky Johnson: the head of the family. This man is very cheap and will look for any way to get out of spending money. He is a wannabe scientist, and usually confuses his family with his choice of words.
• Seun Adebajo Osigbesan as Jennifer Johnson : the oldest of the Johnson children. The last of her mates to get into the University. Always seen learning or practising Igbo, she and Emu have a strong mother-daughter bond.
• Samuel Ajibola as Spiff: Pablo and Lizzy's son, Lucky's adopted son later in the show. He appears to be very stupid and is Abulu's partner in crime.
• Kunle Bantefa as Pablo: Spiff's father. He is usually seen in the Johnson house begging for money or looking for get rich quick ideas.
