ha haa! peps this is so nostalgic and the memories are so sweet i dont wanna let go.
For guys that grew up in the east especially enugu do you remember:

Night Ryder A.K.A Kitt/ Michael Knit ( How many people back then really knew programmes by their real names lol!), you just hv to abandone wateva it is you were doing once you here the theme song for this program every Saturday evening.
-Wonder Woman!
-ovid Video!
-Get Smart! ( my oh my, though we understood less of the english spoken, we enjoyed the tricks especially using shoes to make phone calls, remember 99?!)
-Super TED!( loved TEX most!)
-KidiVision 101
-Speak out
-Zeebee
-Ichoku
-Danger Mouse
-Schools debate!( you do go gaga when your skool was being aired lol!)
-Superman (remember i had a superman polo then, my best for parties lol!)
-Cadbury sartuday morning show( the best programing for sarturday mornings but you do be divided btw weekend chores and taking steals at the TV!)
-Another life! (then this programme really bored me to death!, what were they tinking? just in doors talking n talking, no action, no gunshots, no karate! KMT! lol)
-Willy willy- Scary shit back then!
-The all mighty Tales by Moonlight!
- Frank olize's News line (was about the only day network news was worth watching!!)
-JETS (Junior engineers watever lol!)
- Ripples
Cheii, i am sure i will remember more later, i can still recall most of the theme songs!, everything was cool back then, i guess it was b'cos the options were limited and the programmers put in their best, checkmate, behind the clouds, mirror in the sun, and cockcrow at dawn were total classics i do love to own a personal collection of all these. na wah, even the radio stations were cool then, I hated music from the Masters on sundays hahah!

wow i remember most of those shows lol
God i hated that instructional tv that came on before sesame street, loved behind the clouds until one of the cast members died and the show got cancelled (okonzua) bout i know a show that no one mentioned at lest i dont think. Does anyone remember

MR. B (madame the madame it's a matter of cash)

Gosh what were the names of those math shows that came on at 5ish?

Or maybe they were Math and Science, with some talking robot.

All I have stuck in my head is this song

Rubber, rubber, rubber,
rubber is fantastic

Rubber, rubber, rubber
rubber is elastic

Yeah, Speakout, Tales by moonlight and Fraggle rock

Ehee, I knew i wasnt the only one missing hell outta the 80's.Who remembers the nasco biscuit,planta and golden morn advert, Thermocool, Makes things better,makes better things.And funny enough i still remember the 'nigeria is 25,join to build the nation'independence theme song, How i take forget storyland?Can anyone remind me of that ogbanje girl that killed her dad in an accident, A movie i think?

NTA network programming of the 80's were so impactful largely due to the non-existence of cable TV by then.
However one can say that Nigerian soaps were better thought true back then,did somebody mention the village headmaster and hotel the Jordan?Now those were classic

Yeah! I do miss the good ol' times.
Times when you have time to quickly do your homework b4 TV stations came on at 4/5pm.

I deeply miss;

Fragle Rock
Ovide video, smart
Super Ted.

Wow. . . how can I forget these? Plus 'Speak-out'. How about Frank Olize's newsline?
Oh if only we can turn back the hand of the clock. . . .

"On the mart [or mat]" was the proper wrestling before the advent of wwf, royal rumble etc. They gave us "Michael Hayes" "Kevin" "Mascara" "Mighty Igor" etc.

I hurt myself trying to emulate some of those flying moves.

I think after those people came "The warrior" "New mascara" "Papa shango" "Hulk hogan", but by then I already realised wrestling was scripted, You can imagine the anger in me. lol

This is NTA 2 channel 5, transmitting at a frequency of bla bla bla mega-hertz, we start our programme line up with Robin of Sherwood, followed by 4.30pm with Rent-a -ghost, then Speak-out( boring to me), then after one hour, goodies with Allo-Allo, which tyhey always repeated, Ooh REne!!! then there was tundu kala peter, Peteru and his toy box + ati be be lo, these days, all children watch is Pasa pasa, lakuku lala, its nt good, the generation that brought this crap, the future's scary wen i think it

Dont forget the "Love Brother"

Hawaii 5-0

Swat.

All the Indian films on LTV 8 (Especially the Burning Train)

Aditu

Speed Racer

Jacob and Aderu Poko

All the News in 3 Languages (All NTA has to carry it. Then u Jump to LTV

The Interludes during Sesame Streets

LTV 8 was also big on Music Videos. (Donna Summer, New Kids on the Block, Thriller, etc)

Ahhhhhhh Fun Memories.

Burning Train: I cried my eyes out!

Theme song to Allo Allo makes me cry, I dont know why. Same for Muppet Babies. I loved Fraggle Rock as well. Anyone remeber that episode when they had no water and I think it was Gonzos 'Ajala travel' uncle gave him an umbrella and they used it to tap the pipes while singing

Please water run
Please water run
Please water
please water
please water run.

I also remeber this song from a scene from Sesame street

I went to the barbers shop
told him to cut my hair
Cos I have never seen my face
Since 1964
Snippity snip.

To the dude who remebers tyhe lyrics to Nigeria is 25, can you please post it.

Thanks

The Invisible Man! Peter!
Man, the nolstagia is just,

Spike I remember that car ad. The cartoon car with the symptoms. Man, those were amazingly creative years.

@papillo, Sorry dude,cant remember all the lyrics, But i vaguely remember the tune, Who remembers the either lux or joy ad with patti boulaye and the newer one wit the short lady, And the action detergent ad, The mechanic who soiled his overall and the little girl eatin

'these are the people in my neighbourhood,in my neighbourhood,in my neigh, Bour, Hood,these are the people in my neighbourhood,the people that you see each day', na wa o!I learnt so much from sesame street.Remember the episode wit the thirsty man screamin aqua! aqua!

Nigeria is 25
The 'art' we did survive
Arise salute the Nation
Come join the celebration
A people united will never fall
on our 'blah blah', its the almighty
blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah

Anyone remeber the rest and the right lyrics?

What about Speedy Racer. Was he No 5 or 10? Cant really remeber. I,m sure you all knew his brother No 9 was actually faster than he was.

I like the theme song for Robin Hood as well and could never get my head round why that big guy was called lil John

NTA of the eighties? hmm Well, when NTA used to be the supremo and only station, come on, we had little or no choice. I remember when I got into the country I'd sit in front of the TV watching the snow flakes until they start by 4pm or is it 5pm ( can't remember). It was a torture. Thank God for private television now.HURRAY 24 hours TV!!!

NTA new presenters especially the ladies were well attired and really gorgeous. The read news really well, somthing our private stations need to pick up from. Some presenters can't even , let me not go there and there outsits , ( obviously borrowed ), let me not go any further and , come on ,

NTA back then has the funniest wackiest and interest Nigerian Soaps and , well to sum it up , I can't say I miss it. Our private stations are doing a pretty good job. Nothing like variety - THE SPICE OF LIFE
