One of the best soap operas I watched growing up. I loved it the same way I loved "Behind the clouds", "Fortune", "Mega Fortune" etc.

Wow. Checkmate was so so interesting, but they didn't complete it. Ego Nnamani later Ego Boyo (that girl fine die), Bob Manuel uzoukwu and the 3rd guy, that their drunken brother. Kunle bamtefa, peaceful peace ( kunle bamtefa's side later turned to another programme Fuji House of Commotion). Richard Mofe Damijo. That short actor with now white hair.
Who remember "ragos is fuur of fryover"

The beginning of what we now refer as series. Checkmate was a major hit in Nigeria and back then Nigeria was a typical 2nd world country your problem was let 8pm come not whether there will be light or not and the sound of thousands of generators disturbing your eardrums. Ego was very beautiful and classy.
Poster thanks for narrating the plot again it is refreshing
