Madam Kofo was 'Madam De Madam' in Basi and Company, shey?

I hope I am right. Madam Kofo was also in 'Second Chance' which was a Sitcom about Adult Education. 'Second Chance' was also Popular in the Mid to Late 80's on NTA Network. I have attached the picture of Madam Kofo here. Cheers.

Madam in BASI AND COMPANY is a woman named ASO DOUGLAS

Madam kofo featured in SECOND CHANCE and her real name is BIOLA ATANDA

They are two different characters in different sitcoms..

1) Basi

2) Zulu Adigwe (I didn't quite get used to him. I always preferred the person that acted that role before him. He didn't quite get the Mr B walk).

3) Albert Egbe (I first saw him in Jagua Nana's daughter in 1987. He acted alongside Richard Mofe-Damijo and Chinua Achebe's daughter. That was also the first time that I saw Richard Mofe Damijo [he was credited as Evans Mofe Damijo).

4) Basi And Company (8pm on NTA Network from c1988-1990).

5) It was written by Ken Saro Wiwa. He later published a couple of books that were based on the sitcom (I still have one of them). There were many clues within the sitcom that he was the one that wrote it. The most popular beer at Dandy's bar was called Saros Beer and I think there was an episode that featured a bank called Saros Bank.


Mildred Iweka was (of course) my favourite Segi.


Basi And Company (The Transistor Radio).
