I love passion as well. And also second chance was nice. But it was the last telenovela I saw.

and not forgetting WILD ROSE

Couldn't do without "when u are mine" how things change, In fact I pictured myself in paloma''s shoe a lot. Meehhhhhhhnnnnnnnn

That was when my country Nigeria was still sweeter than it is now..,watched all of them except for passions which didn't end. Remember Tabitha the witch? The good ol'days!

90's

Am more old school.

Wild rose
Lady of the rose
Isaura the slave girl

These are the ones I watched.

GuyFawkes:

Rosa Salvaje aka Wild Rose was aired in the period between 1995 and 96....

It can never be complete without WILD ROSE and LADY OF THE ROSE.

Hmmm

missKiffy:
Nigerians have been watching TV since forever. It started with local shows down to the foreign ones, we watched them all.
Before the advent of Zee World and Telemundo, we watched the telenovelas and followed up on the stories.

Telenovelas are different from US-style soap opera in that they rarely continue for more than a year. This makes them shorter than soap opera, but still much longer than serials

It was such an addiction that we even bought books that summarised the episodes for times when we missed the episodes due to NEPA or something. Good old days!

Here are some of the amazing telenovelas that kept us glued to our seats then.

1. Secrets of the Sand
Secrets of the Sand was Brazillian and was originally released in 1993. It told the story of twin sisters, Ruth and Rachel. A rich man falls in love with Ruth who truly loves him too, but he gets involved with Rachel, who’s after his wealth.

Ashiri yepe... Remember the guy they call dalua... Who just couldn't stop calling Ruth - ruchinaaa.. And hates Rachel like he hates his step father.. He was such an awesome sand sculpturist...

Then Marcos the confused fellow.. Rachel the slut, whose mother was her loyalist and whose father hated her buh loved Ruth...

Crazy programme that nta loved airing around 8pm every Tuesday or so...

Those days when nepa light was nicknamed candlelight and black and white tv was the order of the day... Days of tandi gurana and fido diddo...

Then if u no fit draw fido diddo... Ladies would not jell for u and guys no go too wan hang out with u...

Mehn! How tym flies....... #FeelingNostalgic

Second chance na another programme wey dey make Mehn dey run bak to hostel all the way from lagoon front... No matter how early u leave wherever u are to make it to common room or cafetaria.... U no go ever see seat siddon...

All because of the shag scenes wey Salvador dey do with that woman....

The shag drive the woman bonkas so tay she leave that her before man for Salvador...

Mehn! The power of kporo....

2. When You Are Mine
When You Are Mine or Cuando seas mía was a Mexican telenovela that was originally released between 2001 and 2002 but aired in Nigeria between 2005-2006. It featured Silvia Navarro as Teresa Suarez or Paloma and Sergio Basañez as Diego Sanchez-Serrano

Great work, OP. I think Silvia Navarro AKA Paloma was also referred to as Elena Olivares.

7. Sunset Beach

Great signature you have there.

Wow so Lorena Rojas is dead? May her soul rest in peace. Chai

Started watching the shows due to my friends pressure. Started from When You are mind to Second Chance. These shows were really good and I wish I can watch them all over.

wendycindy:
Passions, lorenzo's wife, sunset beach, esmeralda, all about camila.

wendycindy, Sunset Beach got me glued to the tv then.

You look fabulous!

You left out wild rose

Why did op have to bring passions up again?

Kai, I can't believe how obsessed I was with that series. If I see all the episodes today sef I will still love to watch everything from the beginning. The whole thing was tacky with terrible plot and bad acting but I still love it

Louis and Sheridan will always remain my favourite couple

What about WILD ROSE

How come nobody mentioned La mujer de mi vida (the woman of my life?)

It was also very popular then. Barbarita Ruiz and Antonio Adolpho

At least that one ended well.

Wrong title. It should read for those of us who were alive in the 90s. Pikin wey dem born for 90s nor fit sabi dese ones.

Kelvin0:


was looking forward to seeing MARIA DE LOS ANGELES in the forefront of that list n was dissapointed wen i couldn't find it. thanx for adding it to the list jor. ya head dey diar

Do u remember, Orquídea Córdoba Escalante the wicked woman who cut off his husbands hand? and that dude who was madly in love with Maria jorge de la Rosa

Remember Rodamas Pasanta?
And the guys name was Hohe or some like that....

teejayeya:
and not forgetting WILD ROSE

How can we forget?
She went to pluck apples in the guy's courtyard, that was how they met. I followed the best I could....

Luzia Mendez in The Rich Also Cry

Thanks

Wow....I wish I can see those movies again.

4. Catalina and Sebastian
Remember Catalina and Sebastian? Portrayed by the same duo in When You Are Mine? Yeah. Same guys. Sebastian, a rich heir fell in love with Catalina, a simple girl with an opportunist mother and brother.

missed the end episodes of this soap

martineverest:
passions remains the most popular,most interesting,most intriguing,most emotional and biggest foreign soap ever in nigeria.it was also d most disappointing ever,cos AIT refused to conclude it....i could remember market women closing shops early so dey could watch passions. Charity,timmy were ppl's favourite.tabithal and julian got d most hate.....ivy was also hated too.ethan,theresa,miguel and louis were part of d cast

'sunset beach' was also interesting.i stopped watching soaps after 'when u are mine'

I guess u missed no one but you ,that was the best telenova ever .

You are my passion for life............I love this soap opera,though it was cut short due to controversies.it was released in 1999-2001.it was the best and I still remember d song.

6. The Second Chance
This one had us waiting for the next episode all the time. Imagine what happens when rich man, Pedro Jose Do Noso comes back as Salvador Cerinza? Just out of this world honestly.
