BTW: Where is the name Sokoroma from?

Others are:

Inside Out (An NTA PH series (not soap) that brought Barbara Soky to national limelight)

and

Hotel de Jordan (An NTA Benin series)

Laolu Ogunniyi resides in Ibadan. He is still a film maker/director/producer etc etc..

There was also the igbo version of Things fall apart.

MrsChocT · Jun 18, 2008 , 11:35 PM

What about the series that had a character named Omotara? Was that the Abiku story?

What about a Bini series shown on NTA Lagos? I so loved their native costumes. Not sure if it was Ovorahmen, not sure

What about the Yoruba ones? Feyikogbon nko? What about the one that had Abeni (The popular Fausat Balogun aka Madam Saje) and Ojo- Can't remember the name of the series

Adekanmbi story nko?

Drakin · Jun 19, 2008 , 08:42 PM

'Fadeyi Oloro' can't remember if thats the name of the series or just the main character but you could here a pin drop in the streets when it was on.

WaleAkin · Jun 19, 2008 , 09:02 PM

What of the likes of Ichoku?

The white British customary court Judge with a FLAT nose?

Feyikogbon nko?

Good one!! High educative and humorous

What about the one that had Abeni (The popular Fausat Balogun aka Madam Saje) and Ojo- Can't remember the name of the series

Erinkeke starring Babatunde Omidina-Baba Suwe!!

'Fadeyi Oloro'

LOL!! Abija (Wara bi eku) also starred in that series and was aired every wednesday for about 3 years!

He was blutoothed years back................People actually had the feeling that he was a real herbalist because of his stage dexterity.........LOL: They blasted a kerosine lantern on his face and he was hospitalised for a long time!! Poor him.

Bata Wahala was that Yoruba TV series starring that skinny rich Man who married so many Wives and had marital problems.

Now, whats his name..........can't remember!!

NextLevel · Jun 19, 2008 , 10:46 PM

I remember "SPACS", which was soon cancelled after RMD joined the show, but is probably remember by most because of him.

"Fiery Force", the Nigerian movie about crime starring Funso Alabi as the police chief as an anti-crime squad chasing after some crooks, one of whom was Funso Alabi's son.

I remember the final scene of that movie after his (Funso Alabi's) son shoots him and then a policeman shoots and kills the son. After, Funso Alabi picks up his dead son and the policeman tells him, "I'm sorry, Sir." And Funso Alabi replies, "Sorry? For doing your job?"

That was too cold/hard!

Third Eye was a crime series which starred Olu Jacobs: His Daughter was always giving him the clue to solving crimes hence the name Third Eye

Who remember this thing they used to do.. it was a competition of all the states in the federation... for the best TV programme or so. the one i will never forget was the one from the then Bendel state... "Pot of Life" the lead character was Amiwu... that had to go through the evil forest to get the pot of life... i think they won that year...

I remember behind the clouds... Nosa (RIP) that was dating Zianab, there was a time he said to her .... "haba Zianab" since then I hardly ever say haba without adding Zianab even if it is under my breath.

I saw some episodes of BTC. Who is Nosa? I know Tanko (that Alhaji with three wives with a real name that reads like Yoruba but isn't... Adekwa...) is dead. Or is that Wind of Destiny?

Mulan,

Soaps vs. Series: From my understanding, Soaps typically run for a long time and they basically end when there aint any script writer or the plot no longer makes sense (Passions-good example of plot that no longer makes sense... stopped getting web updates on that excuse for a Soap eons ago; One Life to Live...) as opposed to Series, that, though sequential too, have a finite/defined number of episodes that is typically known. Soaps will typically (or maybe I should say may) have more than one writer, and the storyline is developed as the recording progresses, while series are pre-written and tapings are completed before the first episodes come on air. I think 13 weeks is the norm in the US and maybe in Nigeria too for series. e.g reality shows.

Third Eye was a crime series which starred Olu Jacobs: His Daughter was always giving him the clue to solving crimes hence the name Third Eye

Yep. Yomi Adeyemi was the lady's name. I think she is now Adeyemi-Wilson.

MrsChocT · Jun 21, 2008 , 05:09 AM

Bata wahala was so funny. If any man decides to marry two wives, after seeing one episode, I bet he'll change his mind.
Gone are the days our soaps and series taught us something of moral value. And to think we have more resources now than we did back then. E go better sha, e go better

Pot of life, that was a great production!

Nosa of behind the clouds, is he dead now? Wasn't he the fine young one? NTA is not as interesting as it used to be and I agree with SNB that they don't teach values like they used to.

I try to follow Hollyoaks here and sometimes, their message for a plotline is so obvious and they even give a helpline# for people to call in at the end of the show...
