Did You Grow In The Entertainment Era Of Naija T.v Programmes? by mimon79(m): 1:09am On Apr 05, 2010
Some sent this to me and i decided to share with you all. I beleive this will make you have a nostalgic feeling. I bet you can complete the missing programs if you fall under the 1970s to 1980s.



On a good day after school,

You had to wait till 4 o’clock to get any meaningful thing on NTA…!

You would eagerly sit in front of the T.V at 3:30pm watching all the multicoloured lines (color bars) while you waited for NTA come up.



The National Anthem was the first thing on TV…



You watch Thunder sub  and Terrahawks  on Mondays. Pigeon Street  and Bertha  came after. 321 contact was an educative one too.

Samanja was for 7:30 and you hated Newsweek on Monday nights…



You watch Fragle rock , Sesame Street  and animal games on Tuesdays. Reach out was at 5:30.

Your elder ones disturbed your flow at 6:30pm on Tuesdays to watch koko close (Oluwalambe lord, Kasali open the gate), then you all watched new masquerade at 8:30pm.



You enjoyed Voltron  and hated commander mark on Wednesdays. Renta-ghost  came up at 6pm then Kidi vision 101 at 6:30.

Cock crow at dawn was up at 7:30 then Bassey and company (Mr. B is a millionaire) at 8:30, whatever happened to Midweek sports and d boring Nigerian local league.



G-force   Scooby doo   and Super-Ted > were the deal on Thursdays; Wazobia didn’t make sense then Village head master at 8:30pm and was later substituted with Checkmate the Ann Hathrup - Segun Kadiri story.



Friday had the variety of Birdman , Galaxy trio , Ovid video , inspector gadget , danger mouse   scooby doo, robin hood,

Atom Ant,  ring ring do your thing, speed racer





Friday nights………, can’t figure it anymore (some one else can fill in the gap) Friday was Ripples. Friday nights also had us waiting for those Indian movies - likes of Teri meha ba niya! Suli kuuleee, words like neni, nehi.



Saturday mornings were boring after 10am. 7-10am had WWF then Morning ride came up for 10am (very boring). The rest of the day had Telematch at 2pm on NTA 2 and several annoying sport programs; but Things fall apart came up at 8pm.



Network news was very boring.



The only good thing on Sundays was Behind the clouds. What about Newsline with Patrick Oke and Yinka Craig, or Frank Olize? or the third eye with Olu jacobs @10pm. Tales by moonlight with stories of tortoise too wasnt so bad either. Watching Lagos Weekend Television (LWT) with those silly Chinese films where in the movies you see their mouths move before the talk, ……….like ‘you kill ma father…………, I kill you toooo.





For the veterans amongst us, kindly fill in the missing programs.

 

NB: If you were born later than 1990, you might not be able to recall any of these graceful memories.

But look at it this way, those were the good ‘ol days when Naija was still Naija, …when Unilag suya was da bomb, when big dip ice cream was the ice cream, bazooka joe was the chewing gum, chocoh milo, dr. pepper ,africola, zit, crush, tree top juice( the original),  samco ice cream, parmalat milk, the days of leventis, adema coffe shop, pinto’s ice cream, m1, when d4 was still d4, terries burger,tandi guarana, lumber jack shirts(preferably black & red check, metal face caps, metal boots, pastel shoes, baggy jeans, bbd, new edition bobby brown , mili vanili, janet Jackson ,mc hammer, words like Yo , Word up , later programmes like Yo-MTV Raps, mags like vibe, right on , word up magazines. For chicks – Mills boons, silhouette desire, all the James hardly chases’ etc. For guys going to gigs, hearing the words like ……“ ALL BOYS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “, obtaining or being obtained, walking like you had a bad left leg (no offence). Wearing of brogue shoes-ox blood leather, suede versions too, being Behind or razzzzzzzz, blowing of phoene, wearing of kito slippers, flourecent t-shirts, stone wash jeans, wearing timberland boots (the Behind kids), or fila boots (for the not so Behind, let’s say razzzz). Remember Men’s Room on Awolowo Road (Ralph Lauren Polo shirts etc, etc.) Those days of wearing all your baffs at home for no reason (this is especially for chicks).  Ikoyi Club swimming pool section with chicken ‘n’ chips, Apapa club Suya, Apapa amusement park, cotton candy, Christmas grotto. The days of Polaroid cameras. ………………………. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the good ol dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys. MEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grin grin grin grin



Hope this cheers you guys up and brings back FOND memories that can never, ever be replaced again.  cry cry cry

Men, you tried o. How on earth did you remember all these?

Back then, Voltron and Battle of the planet(G-Force) were my favorites since they had the same characters.
You missed out 'Football made in Germany - Bundesliga'.I remember DORTMUND was my favorite club then coz they were always almost winning.
And I used the name of the players for table-soccer with my friends then.

Those were the days. We don old now. cheesy
