The NTA showed a lot of variety shows in the 1970s and 1980s and many highlife artistes performed on these shows. Some of these shows were hosted by the highlife artistes, while others, like Bandstand, featured a different artiste every week. I am now going to post videos of these artistes performing on those shows.

On this thread there will be videos and details of:

The Bala Miller Show (8pm NTA Network)

The Art Alade Show (Sunday mornings, NTA Channel 10).

The Bobby Benson Show (NTA Channel 10 and later NTA2 Channel 5, Saturday afternoons)

Princess Afi Usuah Show (NTA Network, 8pm, I can't remember what day)

The Stephen Osita Osadebe Show (NTA Channel 10, can't remember what day or time)

The YomYem Show (Sunday mornings, NTA Channel 10).


Contact (6pm on NTA2 Channel 5 and later on the Network Service).

Caveatemptor:


Excellent thread as usual, however I am surprised that you failed to mention the BAR BEACH SHOW on NTA channel 10 in the late 70s and early 80s.
The Bar beach show was the precursor of all the shows you have mentioned here.
The Bar beach show was hosted by the late John Chukwu and former Miss Nigeria Rosemary Anieze Adams and was a regular musical show on which musicians and bands of the day were invited to play popular songs for a live audience,who were invited to the open floor to dance to the music played.

Once again, excellent thread.

The Bar Beach Show was in the late 1960s and 1970s (it's mentioned in the post about Art Alade). This thread is about 1980s shows.

Nigeria was so enjoyable that era. There was more peace, more joy, more love, less evil,
...
Education was cheap, but of a very high standard. Graduates got good jobs and lived well. Some of them got official cars and accomodations, as soon as they assumed their positions.
Items sold in the markets were genuine and of very high quality. What's more, they were affordable.
In 1980, flight ticket to the UK was about 400 Naira! There was no need to Japa, because the Naira was strong, and it was fun living in Nigeria!
I wish I could roll back the hands of the clock!!!
