I am one of those who watched the village headmaster as a kid in the 1980s. But I have my reservations about the comeback of this show, one of which is its relevance to the present day structure.

When Village headmaster started in the 1960s, most Nigerians stayed in villages and the school headmaster was one of the important personalities in the community. As one of the most educated persons then, he had a say in the running of the community as the village rulers relied on his formal knowledge of the outside world to seek advice on some issues then.

Education was highly prized and valued in those times, especially in Southern Nigeria and many villagers did a lot to curry the favor of the headmaster and his teachers, who were highly regarded. Illiteracy was high and the government was expanding access to education with more infrastructure. Television had recently been introduced in Nigeria a decade before, so people marveled at the innovation and would spend time watching anything put on TV then(There weren't many people owning TVs in that period as it was seen as a status symbol).

Today, the situation is different. The typical headmaster isn't that valued by this generation as many people are literate. Majority of Nigerians are in urban areas. Education isn't highly prized as it once was. There is also a lot of competition for people's attention with cable TV and social media providing fresh entertainment at the click of a button on a phone or laptop, so a TV program has to be very good to command one's attention. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with many Nigerian productions. The best Nigerian visual content or series are actually online.

So I am wondering how relevant this show will be for today's generation. We have to understand there is a new generation with different tastes, aims and objectives, so you can't just bring back something that worked in the past and expect it to fly .New Masquerade made a comeback in the late 1990s and early 2000s but it was a failure.

The only way the series can succeed is if it's updated to reflect current realities. The comeback of most old shows worldwide end in failure. Those that have succeeded like BBC's Dr Who did so because they were updated for the present generation. Even at that, there are shows that are better left in the past.

Well, wishing the producers the best of luck but I doubt if this Village Headmaster reboot will last. My personal opinion.

rossipki:
What about Gorimapa?

Goris Goris with his shaven head?

Have they forgotten him?

maak400:

Niggar so you be indomie generation

rossipki:
BEAUTIFUL AND EXCELLENT.

Jide Kosoko is PERFECT for the role of Chief Eleyinmi.

He even looks like Eleyinmi more than the original one!
