The Kwagh-hir (thing of magic) is a traditional theatre of the Tiv people of Central Nigeria (Tuesday on NTA Network @ 8 o'clock. I'd give anything to hear the signature tune again).

Ok o! I grew up very fast. I was an avid newspaper reader by the time I was in primary 2 (God bless Daily Times, Vanguard and Punch). I had already started discussing politics with politicians by then (I knew all the latest hits and the latest soaps). I used to gist with the gate keepers, green eagles footballers, secondary school students, body guards, etc, while I was still a toddler.

But if you want to know then. . . . Tuface is older than I am

I think you meant The Odessa File...by Robert Ludlum
Yeah...you were really eight then

I was here!

Who remembers "VILLAGE MASQUERADE" pls

naptu2:
It wasn't Kate Henshaw. Kate Henshaw acted as the house-help in a different tv series (can't remember the title). She spoke a really weird form of english (at least I think it was english) in that series.

this should be Candlelight.

Sat down in a bar yesterday and one dude was just making noise. To my surprise the barman shouted, "louder!" I was the only one who actually knew what he was talking about. Lol

Don't think I'll forget Ichioku in a hurry. Even though I was too little to even understand what was said in the series.

Nmezor:
was it not I love palm wine?

No, it's I love my country.

The song was written by Wole Soyinka in the 1970s and it was used by Tunji Oyelana in a stage play. Tunji Oyelana also adapted the song for his hit TV sitcom "Sura Di Tailor".

The actual name is "Etika Revo Wetin?" (taken from a government campaign called Ethical Revolution).

It was later released in an album called "Unlimited Liability Company"

Ichoku always cracked me up because of the crazy translations and the reactions of the people in the court to the translations.


The look on their faces when the court clerk said that dogs and pussy cats were falling from the sky was priceless.

Lol. I've always believed the translator always told the judge the wrong details and sometimes even insults the judge with igbo.

Was really young then though. Had to watch those programs because it's what my older siblings watched. Sometimes they interpret it for me and sometimes they don't.

The person who acted Willy-Willy was my lecturer during my undergraduate days. He wasn't in any way scary. Just a nice soft-spoken lecturer.

That makes him sound scary...cos I imagine that's just his alter ego, and he would turn to Willy Willy at night

naptu2:
How could I forget Kwaghir? The amazing puppet and masquerade show from Benue. I LOVED the signature tune. We had both funny and scary puppets and masquerades.


A festival of the Tiv people in Benue state of Nigeria, it is a display of traditional masquerades, puppet theater, some forms of acrobatics, dancing, music and sartorial display. A colourful festival indeed, it attracts many people and is accentuated by the friendliness and warm welcome of the Tiv people of Nigeria.

Thanks to Nairaland. I have been looking for the name of this show
