"

”We are also considering translating the textbooks of other subjects into Yoruba Language because I believe that when students are taught in their mother language, learning will be easy and their level of performance will improve. "


Finally. A governmemt that gets it.

Teach Account, commerce, economics, physics, Chemistry etc in the native language of the students.
That was Professor Fafunwa's policy when he was minister of education in the 1980s, but there was enormous opposition to the policy and the opponents practically killed it.

His policy was that kids should be taught in their mother tongue until they got to primary 3. The compromise that was reached was that every child must learn at least one Nigerian language.

One other series that was on my mind when I made this list, but which I didn't include because the "criminal" was the hero, was Smugglers (Jack Vincent).


I know quite a few girls that crushed on Oliver Tobias.

She's referring to the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN), the forerunner of NEPA.

There was ECN, then NEPA and then PHCN.

Nice. Always loved the intro for 'Bloodhound gang'.
Whenever there's trouble,
We're there on the double,
We're the Bloodhound Gang.
When there is a crime,
We got the time,
We're the Bloodhound Gang.

Please where can one download these shows? Especially famous five. Saw most of them in the 90s thanks to a library/ video club those days in Ibadan, the British council library. They had all of those stuffs. Used to watch them back then.
You can download YouTube Downloader and download the shows from YouTube.

you didn't put super force. I believe that's where RoboCop idea came from
It's the other way around. The first Robocop movie was released in 1987 and I watched it in 1987.

Superforce was first shown in the US from 1990-1992. It was first shown in Nigeria in 1992 or 1993. I believe it was inspired by Robocop.

Lots of people are listing 1990s shows. The thread is about shows that were shown on Nigerian TV in the 1970s and '80s.

The German (Transtel) shows that were shown on Nigerian TV in the 1970s and early 1980s were Telematch, Football Made In Germany and Top of The Pops.

Disco Rally was added in the late 1980s.

Derrick, a horrible safety and first aid documentary (in which they showed horrible and gory accidents and injuries and showed how to prevent and treat them) and a show about a woman who was from a German royal family, but who lost everything during World War 2 and was trying to survive with her children after the war, were all introduced in the early 1990s.


Another German detective show (who's name I will not post because I do not want the anti-spam bot to ban me) about a young german policeman and his girlfriend, was introduced in the mid 1990s.

All the shows listed in my 3rd and 4th paragraphs were introduced in the 1990s.

Derrick was first shown in the 1990s. Rentaghost is in my list of comedies. The Incredible Hulk wasn't a detective/crime series.

Hey naptu2,

Do you remember a show called SPACS(Special Protection Anti-Crime Squad) ? I believe it was a Nigerian version of SWAT/The Sweeney/CI5 and
a fictional version of the Panti Stree CID/Force CID of the Nigeria Police Force back then.

The opening sequence featured someone being chased on foot, then two ninja-like figures dressed in white, having a fierce taekwando battle.

I loved it!
It's in the list, but thank you for reminding of what the initials meant. I was trying to remember what the initials meant when I made this list.

There was this show by Zack Amata in the early 90s. "Behind the clouds", i believe it was called
nkwuocha:
"Beyond our dreams "huh??

Not sure though

"
naptu2:
Ishilove will know the first show.

1) Behind The Clouds. This was undoubtedly the most popular programme on Nigerian television in 1989. Unfortunately only one of the star actors was shown in this clip. Matt Dadzie is under arrest. Matt Dadzie is one half of the famous Nigerian television power couple, Matt and Gladys Dadzie. They were part of the famous Jos television movement and the acted in, produced and directed many of the famous shows that were made in Jos. Gladys Dadzie also acted in Behind The Clouds. She acted as Fortune's mother.


2) I'm not sure if Ishilove will know this show. Winds Against My Soul was originally shown on Nigerian television in 1979 (it spooked me then) and rerun in 1987. I could never get over Taiwo Ajayi-Lycett's hair!

Guy cheesy you really swept me away with this piece. You literally took me back to the good old days when I was in primary school. I love this and I'll appreciate if you could add more that would include:

Get Smart (70's)
The Man called Slow (70's)
The Sweeney (80's)
Sandoka cheesy. (70's)
Dr Who.. (70's)

My old-school mates, where y'all at? Come and add yours.
You twisted my brain in knots. I read your post and immediately in my mind I could hear a villain say, "Mr Sloane". But I wasn't sure if that's the name (it's such a long time ago).

YES! It's A Man Called Sloane and I agree, it should be in this list.

I would be more than happy to see the second chance oncea gain. Madam Kofo. That third eye was nice too.

I have this Happy New Year song that was aired in 1989. I've tried to upload it here, but I can't, I guess the file is too big. Can you help me Naptu?
You can upload the song to another website, eg YouTube and then post a link to the song on Nairaland

Inspector Bediako was first shown in Ghana in 1994 and ran until 1997. It was first shown in Nigeria c1997. It therefore cannot be in this list.

Where is PS: I Love You? undecided
PS, I Love You was first shown on CBS in the US in 1991 and it was firsy shown on Nigerian TV late in 1992, therefore it cannot be on this list.

So many people are posting 1990s shows.

1.Mathnet and Sledgehammer are both 80'S shows.
2./Mathnet was a segment of the 1980's US educational pro gramme 'Square One' brought to you by the same guys who produced '321 Contact' and 'Sesame Street'
3.I used to own a Slegdehammer DVD....sadly I misplaced it while moving house a few years ago.
4.The Bloodhound Gang was also, like Mathnet, a segment of 321 Contact. Got released on VHS...had a childhood friend who had the thing...used to be jealous cool
I know that those shows were made in the 1980s, but I'm refering to when they were shown on Nigerian TV stations (I actually watched some of those shows before they were shown on Nigerian TV).

I loved this show.. Can't find any episode online..
NTA is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary and as part of the celebration, they are showing some of their classic shows and uploading them to YouTube immediately after. The two shows that I'm eagerly waiting for are Third Eye and Second Chance. I've been checking YouTube for those two shows every hour since yesterday.

Another show that I would like to see is Magana Jarice and they are going to show it on Sunday, so I expect that it should be on YouTube by Monday.

Sing with me

Where ever there's adventure to be found,
Just a clue or a secret message bring the Famous Five around,
When ever there's a mystery to be solved,
Up in the ruined castle,
Or down in Smugglers Cove.

Julian, Dick* and Anne, George and Timmy the dog,
We are the Famous Five,
We're coming back to you,
When ever there's time,
Time after time.
