Don't have much memories of the programme, because as a child, it was on my parent's list of 'Television shows that were verbotten for ever'. A list that did not change as I entered teenagehood. Immediately the strains of the show came on, my mama would switch off the television and announce that it was time for evening prayers. With my papa's approval. 7 Likes |

Checkmate was really massive. All the Nollywood big wigs were in it: Bobmanuel, KOK, RMD, Kunle Bamtefa, Francis Agu, Ego Boyo, Amaka Igwe (Director), Andy, etc. My best characters should be: Nduka. His life mirrors what couples go through when they can't have a child after a few years of marriage. His mother even had to bring a village girl for him from the village. Susan Hastrop (Ego Boyo) was so beautiful. I don't even listen to what she says; i just sit there admiring her beauty. Akpan and his campus life was also an interesting part for me then. I'd always imagined what life in the university was like. Chief (Fuji House) was the undiluted comedy section of the show. CHECKMATE WAS THE BEST! 51 Likes 3 Shares |

Omg.... I remember Nkemji the Village girl that said 'Lagos is full of fry over ' instead of fly over. Checkmate was one soap opera that was just captivating then. We had very few of them by that time though, however, they were very meaningful and had something to teach Not forgetting FORTUNES, another soap that had us glued to our seats every Sunday evening. That was the unfolding moment of Ramsey Noah, Regina Askia,Liz Benson, Pat Attah etc. Really good old days. Sometimes I wish we could turn back the hands of time. Solid content was aired on television then. And oh by the way, Seman Metropolis Estate Lugbe Abuja is still selling premium plots of land. Located behind Dunamis glory dome and beside River park Estate Lugbe along Airport road Abuja. Selling at massive discounts.
