Bionic Woman (I can't remember if I saw this on the NTA or on LTV, but it was on nigerian tv in the early 1980s).

Doctor Who

There have been many incarnations of this series, but I'm only going to post the two that I'm certain were shown in Nigeria.

The Doctor

Patrick Troughton is The Doctor.

https://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2343062.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Patrick-Troughton-actor-Dr-Doctor-Who.jpg

This version of Doctor Who was shown in Nigeria in the 1970s. The BBC had destroyed most of the tapes of this series and was frantically searching for anyone who had tapes of them. Well, they were found in NTA Jos.




Tom Baker is The Doctor.

NTA2 Channel 5 (mid 1980s - 1990s).

The TARDIS.

Who's your favourite James Bond? Mine is Roger Moore, while my mum's favourite was Sean Connery. Roger Moore had almost the same personality in his famous tv series - Simon Templer, Persuaders, etc.

I never got used to Timothy Dalton playing the part of James Bond. He was always Mr Rochester (Jane Eyre) to me.

From l-r: Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan.

You missed an important one.

Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me. I was in shock when I heard what happened to him. He still acted in some films after he became paralysed (eg Rear Window).

Superman 1 (1978).
Superman 2 (1980).
Superman 3 (1983).
Superman 4 (1987).

[size=14pt]Seven DIGs retired as Suleiman Abba becomes Nigeria’s 17th Police IG[/size]

Aug 03, 2014

The careers of seven Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs) of Police have come to an end following the appointment of Alhaji Suleiman Abba as Nigeria’s 17th Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Abba was until his appointment the Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) in charge of Zone 7, Abuja.

Abba had served as Rivers State Commissioner of Police and was also Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to former First Lady, Mariam Abacha.

He is an alumnus of the Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPPS), Kuru, near Jos and was an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) before his appointment. He succeeds Alhaji Mohammed Dikko Abubakar, who Wednesday completed the maximum allowed 35 years of service.

An AIG is third in line to the office of IGP, while DIGs are second in line. Going by the practice in police, the DIGs are automatically retired when an AIG is promoted above them to the rank of IG.

The Nigeria Police has seven DIGs, each heading a department. The departments are: Administration; Operation; Logistics and Supply; Investigation and Intelligence; Training and Command; Research and Planning, as well as Information and Telecommunication Technology.

Sources close to the Presidency said Abba’s appointment would have been done Wednesday after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting but it was truncated by ‘powerful lobbyists’ who were in support of DIG Mike Zuokumor, DIG Operations and Force Secretary, AIG Dan Azumi Doma for the police top job.

Meanwhile, Governor Jonah Jang’s faction of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has called on Abba to be fearless in the discharge of his duties as the nation’s police chief.

A statement issued yesterday in Abuja and signed by the forum secretary, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, said the governors urged the new Inspector General of Police to consider the peculiar security challenges facing the nation as an opportunity for him to write his name in history and lead a successful fight against what it called the forces of darkness plaguing the nation.

The governors called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and provide security agencies with information anytime they notice any unusual activity in their neighbourhood.

Politics › Re: Joseph Mbu, Manko, Ringim Retired Along With 18 Other AIGs by naptu2:
1) When selecting candidates for the position of inspector general of police, they usually do not select anyone that has less than 2 years before reaching the retirement age/maximum years of service. This means that they sometimes have to reach down to select someone from the rank of assistant inspector general of police as the new IG.


2) All the new IG's superiors must be retired, because a superior cannot serve under his subordinate. This means that lots of DIGs and sometimes AIGs will be retired when a new inspector general is appointed.

Nikita (2010)
We saw a preview of this movie (Nikita) in 1990 and everybody was impressed. It looked like an action packed movie. So we resolved that the next time someone went to the video club, the person must rent this movie.

So we rented the movie and slotted it into the VCR. Good God, it was boring! We banned the poor guy that had rented it from renting movies at the video club (despite the fact that we had all agreed to rent it).

This series (like Village Headmaster) confuses people, because everybody remembers the newer version, but very few people remember the older version.


The Saint (Simon Templer). NTA Channel 10 (1970s).

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/The_Saint_titlecard.jpg

Roger Moore is Simon Templer.

Ian Ogilvy is Simon Templer.

The Avengers (John Steed and Emma Peel). (NTA Channel 10, NTA2 Channel 5 and LTV 8. 1970s and '80s).

The New Avengers (John Steed, Mike Gambit and Purdey). LTV 8 (1980s).

I enjoyed this show, but I never really got used to it. For me, the Avengers were John Steed and Emma Peel.
