1. "The Village Headmaster" - This show is the OG of Nigerian TV series, capturing the essence of rural life with its colorful characters and absurd situations. From the quirky characters to the outrageous shenanigans, this show was like "Survivor" meets "Big Brother" with a side of palm wine. From the bumbling village headmaster to the mischievous school kids, this show had more drama than a Nollywood film and more laughs than a comedy club!
2. "Things Fall Apart" - No, we're not talking about Chinua Achebe's iconic novel. We're talking about the TV series adaptation that had viewers excited about the portrayals of traditional Igbo culture from Nigeria. It's like "Game of Thrones," but with fewer dragons and more yam farming.
3. "Tales by Moonlight" - This show was every Nigerian kid's bedtime ritual, and for a good reason! With its fantastical stories, colorful costumes, and exaggerated characters, "Tales by Moonlight" brought Nigerian folklore to life in the most educative way possible.
4. "Papa Ajasco" - If you didn't grow up watching this show, did you even have a childhood?

With slapstick humor, absurd situations, and memorable catchphrases, "Papa Ajasco" had us rolling on the floor with laughter!
5. "Everyday People" - This show was a slice of Lagosian life, serving up a hilarious mix of drama, romance, and everyday struggles. From the eccentric characters to the comical misunderstandings, "Everyday People" was like a Nigerian version of "Friends," but with an extra dose of Nigerian spice!
6."Fuji House of Commotion" - This sitcom was a riotous portrayal of a dysfunctional Nigerian family that had us in stitches with its exaggerated characters and comedic chaos. From Mama Fuji's melodramatic outbursts to Papa Fuji's failed attempts at being the head of the household, "Fuji House of Commotion" was a laughter-inducing rollercoaster ride! It was like "The Addams Family" meets "The Office," but with a Nigerian twist
7. "I Need to Know" - This show was like "Sex Education" meets "Grown-ish and "Naija Style," tackling taboo topics with a humorous yet informative approach. With its quirky characters, awkward situations, and witty dialogues, "I Need to Know" made sex education feel like a stand-up comedy routine, keeping us educated and entertained!
8. "Superstory" - Brace yourself for some super-dramatic, super-suspenseful, and super-funny storytelling! Each season of "Superstory" takes on a new social issue, but with a generous dose of humor to keep you entertained.

Now, let's add some old but still running ones.
9. "Jenifa's Diary" - Get ready to laugh your socks off with this hilarious series that follows the adventures of the lovable but naive Jenifa.
