You people need to move into the present and stop dwelling on things that have passed away.

Reference:

"We call them thermocool refrigerators, you call them beautiful". The same guy that advertised UBA I think.

Tate sugar produced by Tate & lyle. Big rivals to St.Louis.

Yap, I think its the same UBA advert guy....striking resemblance , same voice....

Thermocool advert was done by the great Hugh Quarshie (who also did several plays for the BBC).

UBA advert was by the late Tony St Iyke. He acted as Okonkwo is Second Chance. He also acted in a comedy show in which he and some other guys lived in a flat. His catch phrase was "a guy is gonna do what a guy's gonna do".

I wish Nigeria would keep records of its history. I can't get a picture of Tony St Iyke.

Below: this is what Hugh Quarshie looks like now.

Those periods when TV stations open by 4pm and close 12pm.

Even baba Nancy who first bought a VHS vidoe player then send us away by saying video will start by 4pm.

Dad had to buy one and a video sender to displace his bigmaness!!

Old times indeed!
