Growing up, commercial breaks weren’t interruptions. They were something we actually anticipated. It was our chance to relive our favorite adverts, sing along to catchy jingles, and imagine ourselves as the kids we saw on TV.

Watching those ads again now makes their intention clearer. The mix of memorable lyrics, rhythmic sounds, and engaging visuals wasn’t accidental. It was designed to stick. We treated those jingles like hit songs, memorized every word, acted them out, and even persuaded our parents to buy the products.
Remember Horlicks go? Indomie’ss mama you too good?
And many more? I published them here on my blog

The aftermath of #EndSARS also changed how many Nigerians viewed public protests. While the movement inspired political awareness among young people, the violence, arrests and lack of accountability left many citizens fearful and discouraged from returning to the streets. Some Nigerians felt the government’s response showed that even peaceful demonstrations could end violently without justice for victims. During later nationwide protests over economic hardship, many citizens openly referenced the trauma of #EndSARS and expressed fear about history repeating itself. Even years later, the movement remains both a symbol of youth resistance and a reminder of the risks attached to protesting in Nigeria.

I think we should find a way to revive it. we've been demoralised.
