HIT TV PROGRMMES OF THE 80’S IN NIGERIA : AWAKENING THE NOSTALGIC FEELING

Nigeria offers Investors in the Entertainment arena the opportunity of reaping bountifully and smiling to the banks. The reason is not far fetched. “Nigerians love entertainment” whether via the TV screen (movies, soap operas, musical programmes, sitcom, reality shows) or off screen (promenade shows, concerts , stand up comedy / dance shows) and other entertaining events. Despite the fun galore, the rapid moral degeneration projected through the various entertainment programmes has given room for children, teens and young people to pick up bad habits in the absence of working parents who ought to supervise what they watch.

A nostalgic feeling is created when one goes down memory lane, especially into the 80’s era, where sex, crime, lust for power and money, indecent dressing, low moral  standards and values where infinitesimal, unlike what obtains presently. The under listed provides the local and International programmes that kept Nigerians glued  to their TV sets:
