This might make better sense for those who grew up in the nineties, but who remembers the good old days of NTA for kids? Before DSTV came and took over? I remember I couldn't wait for 4 O'clock on weekdays, early morning shows on saturdays, and late sunday evenings, because I loved the cartoons and shows on the air then.

Most memorable week-time shows:

Voltron
G force
Super Ted
Sport Billy
Groovy Goolies
The little prince
Muppet Babies
Sesame Street
Junior Debate
Children's variety

Saturdays:
Anything on Cabdury's breakfast television. I used to wake up VERY early for that one.

Sundays:

Storyland

Ishilove:

Not uncle wole, uncle jimi. Jimi solanke

kannymoore:


He is correct.. its Uncle Wole of "Animal Games"

His show even preceeds Uncle Jimi Solanke's "Storyland"

It used to be sown on NTA channel. 10. I dunno if it was under the network service like "Storyland" though.

naptu2:


Jimi Solanke also had a show on LTV 8 in the 1980s (before he moved over to the NTA). It used to be shown on Saturday mornings. Unfortunately I can't remember the title of the show.

kannymoore:


LTV channel 8

My daddy's telly could never catch their signal clearly!!! Always too much "shhhhhh" and static and the channel seemed more grayscale than colored. Lol!

Though, I tried not to miss captain-caveman, captain planet and ninja turtles whenever I could sha.

I won't lie... LTV channel 8 and NTA channel 7 were a perfect No-NO for me. Maybe it was the proliferation of Yoruba programmes on both channels...I dunno. Lol.

But damn.. those were some good times.. for real!

Meanwhile... its an honor to finally chat with you one-on-one on Nairaland.

I'm a very great fan of your threads and your Diary and follow them as religiously as I can.

You truly are a PERFECT example of an ENIGMA and I sincerely hope to meet you someday just to shake your hand in deep respect.

You sir.. are THA DON!

Hello @Naptu2

Where is Lola Fani-Kayode [Nigeria's first female TV soap opera
producer of "Mirror in the Sun," and the very professionally produced
TV classic "Mind Bending" featuring Joke Silva] right now?

I wonder what she is doing since I'm aware she is NOT dead yet!
I Read today as well that she got married to an actor by the name
Wale Macaulay a couple of years back.

I have been having occasional recalls of her and decided to use the internet
today to find out and your post on NL popped up.



Shockingly, this is what I found in her Wikipedia entry.
It is a very, very short. I was expecting something more
robust than this in her entry!

==>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_Fani-Kayode


I also found this information on her cousin's
Website [Femi Fani-Kayode' Website] below:
==>http://www.femifanikayode.org/lineage/


P.S: Also found this on info online:

Lola Fani Kayode, writer of Mirror in the Sun, a Nigerian soap opera, and Amaka Igwe,
late movie producer and director, were profiled in 'Ladies Calling the Shots', a book on
female film directors in Nigeria.

The book, written by Niran Adedokun, a Lagos based lawyer and writer, will be launched
on November 13 in Lagos, at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, on Victoria Island.

production - "Mind Bending" which ran in the late 1980s should be shown
on TV again. I loved the production because of the crystal-clear quality
and the awesome story line...

P.P.S:
Mabel Akomu Oboh is also the SECOND female producer in Nigeria after Lola Fani-Kayode who did Mirror in the Sun.
Victims later took over from Mirror in the Sun in the ‘80s.

I think she's in the UK. She was involved in a programmed that aired on BBC World Service Radio in the mid 2000s and I think she now works with the BBC.

Then, there was Mind Bending, a TV series produced by Lola Fani Kayode, which starred Joke Silva at the time. There was a particular scene where ‘Aunty J’ took me through an emotional journey. I looked on so steadily at her, as she tugged at all my emotions. After that scene, I knew that was what I wanted to do. It may sound weird, but it was a light bulb moment for me.
