Lomaji Ugorji became very famous for acting in a 1980s situation comedy called Icheoku. It depicted a court in Igboland during the Colonial Era. The judge was British and Lomaji Ugorji was the court clerk and translator. His (mis)translations often produced funny results. Take the picture above. In this episode the judge arrives late after the people had been waiting for him for hours. He told the court clerk to tell the people that he was late because he went to another village to hear a case and it was raining cats and dogs, so he had to stay in the village longer than expected. The court clerk looked at the judge with an expression of shock and surprise on his face. The judge said, "go ahead, tell them what I said". The clerk told the people (in Igbo), "He said dog and pussy cat were falling from the sky, that's why he didn't come on time". There was disquiet from the people. How can dog and pussy cat fall from the sky? Here is a clip of another episode of Icheoku. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42fUUOLN9d0?si=khNwBqMcNSwZ67Mh Ohi Alegbe is a veteran broadcaster and communications expert who has hosted many shows on radio and television over many decades and who has handled public relations for very many companies. I think the voice over artiste at the end is Manny Onumonu, the legendary broadcaster with Radio Nigeria. 22 Likes 6 Shares |

There's slightly longer version after the older man asked for his tally number. The other man now said, which one do you want your tally or your money then the cashier handed him his money. I think ₦20 was the highest denomination at the time. 3 Likes 1 Share |

During that era clearing a cheque of 200 naira takes nine months to clear at first bank, Union bank, IBWA, Afribank. Thanks to SAP in 1986 that led to deregulation of banking and financial institutions. I will be proud to say to be among the first who re issued the seemingly first cash ATM named ESCA by All States Trust Bank owned by Ebitimi Banigo, in 1996 followed by Diamond Bank pay card,in 1998 With these innovative electronic cards, one gets top priority service, while First bank and others cashiers spit spittle on their fingers counting cash notes. When Guaranty Trust Bank hit the ground running financial institutions re on fire, followed by Zenith Bank they drained the swamp. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
