Don’t know how many of you lived in my time but you belong to my day if:
You had to wait till 4 o’clock to get any meaningful thing on NTA
You would eagerly sit in front of the T.V at 3:30pm watching all the multicolored lines while you waited for NTA come up.
The National Anthem was the first thing on TV
You watch Thunder sub and Terrahawks on Mondays. Pigeon Street and Bertha came after.
Samanja was for 7:30 and you hated Newsweek on Monday nights
You watch Fragle rock , Sesame Street and animal games on Tuesdays. Reach out was at 5:30.
Your elder ones disturbed your flow at 6:30pm on Tuesdays to watch koko close (Oluwalambe lord, Kasali open the gate), then you all watched new masquerade at 8:30pm.
You enjoyed Voltron and hated commander mark on Wednesdays. Renta-ghost came up at 6pm then Kidi vision 101 at 6:30.
Cock crow at dawn was up at 7:30 then Bassey and company (Mr. B is a millionaire) at 8:30.
G-force Scooby doo and Super-Ted > were the deal on Thursdays; Wazombia didn’t make sense then Village head master at 8:30pm.
Friday had the variety of Birdman , Galaxy trio , Ovid video , inspector gadget , danger mouse e.t.c.
Friday nights……….. can’t figure it anymore (some one else can fill in the gap)
Saturday mornings were boring after 10am. 7-10am had WWF then morning ride came up for 10am (very boring). The rest of the day had several annoying sport programs; but Things fall apart came up at 8pm.
Network news was very boring.
The only good thing on Sundays was behind the clouds.
For the veterans amongst us, kindly fill in the missing programs.
Do you guys also remembers when they used to show tales by moonlight, charlies angels, big foot, Starsky & Hutch, love boat, famous five, Hawai-five-o, Man from Atlantis, Dr. Who (hated that), Mind your language, and Second chance with Madam Kofo.
The Yoruba ones amongst us used to watch Feyikogbon, Tanmo o Ko wa So and Fadeyi oloro (ARELU). LOL!!! Oh, those were the good days not this days of ..............
And remember, the only music you could get then was on Top of the Pops.
Then, then can you remember El Fantastico and that game show, Telematch?
Then When Nigeria started trying, we started showing Chinese movies on LTV 8 on Saturday by 6pm and Telefest as well with all the Nigerian dramas then.
By the way, we didn't have Siverbird and Nu Metro Cinemas, we had National Theatre and Pen Cinema where you'd go and watch Films and some other dramas. Pple watched Ogunde films there and some Indian movies. Oh, those really were the good times.
Abeg, lemme stop here jo.
I think we had a better quality of life then, with no cell phones or computers. And if you tried, you had a NITEL land line at home with the circular dial.
Our phone number then was 332144. I can never forget. And you actually had a phone book to write all the numbers of your friends that had land lines at home.
If NITEL cut your line, God help you, cause it would take like 4 weeks to restore. Remember the blessedness of picking up the hand set and waiting to see if the dialling tone would come.
And if your parent's locked the phone dial with that big ole padlock, you tapped!!!! Lol. that was crazy.
NB: If you were born later than 1985, you might not be able to recall any of these graceful memories.
