I Couldn't Watch 'Checkmate' Because We Had No TV - Aisha Yesufu by jaybenugo(op): 4:05pm On Apr 08, 2023
Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu revealed that she was not able to watch 'Checkmate' on TV when she was younger, because she had no TV, IGBERETV reports

Checkmate is a Nigerian television serial drama that ran on NTA, from Thursday, April 4, 1991 to 1994.

She shared a post about the serial drama on her Twitter handle and captioned it;

"I couldn’t watch this because we had no TV. I listened to my classmates talking about it with so much passion.

Over the years it has been one of the things I have used to remind myself of where I am coming from."

Checkmate was created by Amaka Igwe and sponsored by Lever Brothers Nigeria. The drama starred Ego Nnamani, Francis Agu, Bob-Manuel Udokwu and Richard Mofe-Damijo.

It is expected.

A lot of folks won't have TV's, because it's a trend in today's world to deny your reality for social sympathy.

Another public figure will not have a house, TV stand, food, watch, shoes or clothes during the launch of this TV series.

In summary, welcome to Nigeria.

She can watch it now on YouTube. I still do from time to time.
