Your Favorite Naija Tv Programs From The Past!

hey there

thought we'd go down memory lane, what were your favourite TV programmes in the past. At least this way we can all join in, because even if you've been out of the country you'd still have some memories.

Okay i'll go first
- Checkmate: loved it loved it loved it
- Mindbending: great miniseries of short stories great acting great producer Lola fani-kayode
- Behind the Clouds
- Everyday people: they still show it now but its nearly ten years old

What about you? Which ones do you remember

Wow, niice, i loved checkmate too, i will never forget that scene where this guy smokes a cigarrette and throws it into this waste basket and then a fire creeps up, can't remember the plot ( i was very young then), and i remember behind the clouds, i remember it for it's haunting theme song (just like super story tongue ) I remember this show on NTA, called lynx, where this guy kills his wife and she comes on to haunt him and the rest, but i think the one show from the past that would remain evergreen in my memeory is Hot Cash: Willi-Willi, actually a NTA Port Harcourt production. They don't show it anymore though! anyone know Willi-Willi? that adam apple eating, eerie white robe wearing, disappearing act perfectionist, identity stealing, son of a . . . grin

Re: Your Favorite Nigerian TV Programmes From The Past? by superb(m): 10:58pm On Sep 03, 2006
interesting topic.
who ever remembers one soap called "winds against my soul" by laolu ogunniyi.it was aired in the early eighties.that was where i first saw sam loco efe and taiwo ajayi lycett.
one scary movie which was produced and shown on ltv 8 "evil encounter".i think when the LTV 8 premises got burnt in the eighties,they lost a lot of material.
