List of popular local tv programmes in Nigeria : The 80's and eraly 90's era
Television programmes during the aforementioned era acted as an alternative Entertainment platform to the barrage of foreign movies that were eagerly watched by Nigerians. Indian films, Chinese (parading the star, Bruce lee), British (James Bond) thrived and were viewed courtesy of the VHS formatted copies played on VCRs. TV productions ranging from soap operas, drama, to comedy, crime, unapologetically rocked out screens. However, some stood out above other productions and the under listed programmes are bound to invoke a nostalgic feeling of the good old days (if you grew up during the aforesaid epoch) :
1. Cock crow at dawn
2. Mirror in the sun
3. Ripples
4. Behind the cloud
5. The New Masquerade
6. Village Head master
7. Adio Family
8. Basi & Company

LIST OF POPULAR FOREIGN TV PROGRAMMES IN NIGERIA: THE 80’S AND EARLY 90’S ERA
Nigerians who could afford to purchase VCRs back in the days had the opportunity of watching foreign flicks. Those who couldn’t tow the same line had to visually feed on the local programme content broadcast via the few TV stations which were primarily Government owned. However, foreign programmes were embraced by some of the stations (especially NTA 2 channel 5), which never failed to send us on an exciting entertainment roller coaster ride. Lagos State (ex- capital of Nigeria) has always been the hub of the Entertainment Industry, providing multi- ethnic based Nigerians, the opportunity of discovering and basking in funtopia. Majority of the foreign programmes that reigned in the aforementioned era can be traced to the state. The under listed foreign TV programmes again creates a nostalgic feeling (if you grew up during that era) :
