Growing up, there were some TV shows we were addicted to
and these shows were great!
They wrapped us in suspense, made us co-writers by creating
following scenes episode by episode and even actors when we
tried to demonstrate the scenes to those friends who missed out on it later when discussing who did what the next day with
our peers.

Today, we try to remind ourselves of what these shows were
and what they meant for us:

1. Fuji House of Commotion
Fuji House of Commotion was one of the funniest on TV back
then. It was a story of polygamous Chief Tajudeen Fuji who
had concubines scattered all over the world and the likes of
Ireti, Peace, Kunbi and Caro as legal wives. Then, he literally
had a flock of children most popular of them are Rabiu, Radio
without Battery and the likes. The show featured Kunle
Bamtefa, Toun Oni, Ngozi Nwosu, John Njemanze and Iretiola
Doyle to mention but a few.

2. I Need to Know
I Need to Know was a UNPFA programme which was part of
the Federal Government’s effort to provide information,
education and communication on adolescent health issues in
the fourth Country Programme of Assistance. The show
featured four girls, one of which was played by hit star, Funke
Akindele.


3. Everyday People
Everyday people, that’s you that’s me was what the theme
song said whenever it came on. It was the brainwork of
Tajudeen Adepetu and saw a lot of Nigeria’s finest (Sam Loco
Efe, Carol King, Ify Onwuemene, Seun Soremi, Big Tony, Juliet
Martin-Abazie) in one of the best family TV drama ever. It had
a lot of stories interwoven into one drama series to give
viewers great time whenever watching.


4. Checkmate
Checkmate was another Amaka Igwe production and featured
Richard Mofe-Damijo, Ego Boyo, Francis Agu and the likes.
One thing was common with the families on Checkmate,
disharmony and every one of them dealt with several family
issues ranging from a drunken dad to the absentee wife and
mother.


5. Village Headmaster
The Village Headmaster was a Nigerian television drama series
created by Olusegun Olusola, produced by Chief Dejumo
Lewis. The drama series was Nigeria’s longest running
television soap opera showed on Nigerian oldest television
channel, NTA from 1968 to 1988. The drama stars the late
Justus Esiri and Femi Robinson


6. Family Circle
Family Circle was with Ronnie Dikko and Norbert Young who
were one of our favorite on-screen couples ever! It was a
Tajudeen Adepetu production and was a general family delight
as everyone in the family sat down to watch when it showed
on AIT


7. Behind The Cloud
McArthur Fom who played Nosa in Behind the Clouds was
idolized back then as he was one very hot young man. His no-
nonsense elder sister was played by Ene Oloja and his father
played by Zack Amata.


8. Ripples
Ripples ran for five years uninterrupted on NTA, rested in
1993. It featured the best brains in the industry, including Alex
Usifo, Babara Soky, Clarion Chukwura, Lola Alao and many
others. It was created by Zeb Ejiro.


9. Cock Crow at Dawn
Cock Crow At Dawn featured Sadiq Daba who played Bitrus
and Ene Oloja who played Xamaye. The series which explored
the life of a family uprooted from the city to the village and the
trials and tribulations that they went through. A case of
modern life meets rural life.


10. The New Masquerade
It was one of the funniest TV shows ever. There was Zebrudaya
alias 4.30, Ovularia, Jegede Sokoya, Apena (played for many
years by the singer Christy Essien Igbokwe), Clarus and
Giringori and Nati who was forever hungry. These guys
brought laughter to our faces on TV
.

thank u for making me cry.......

Secret of the sand sisters (Rachel and can't remember the other's name) were my first crush on TV, but I felt they were thesame person then...and if I may ask, was secret of the sand d same as Telemundo now? I loved Lois and Clarke too...but my all time favourite Remains Sesame street . Gosh I miss my childhood days.
