Yikes! Where can I even start from?? Haven Left Nigeria at some point for studies abroad I never missed Nigerian TV because I made sure I was catching up with my Nigerian shows online.
I was always online looking for sites streaming Nigerian local content I found a couple and they sure kept me company.I could watch shows like Gulder Ultimate search,Mtn Projectfame,Nigerian Idol and the likes. I was enjoying my dose of Nigerian content online Vis a vis My favorite British shows.
Fastforward to me heading back home to Naija me still missing my British shows because down here the internet situation is totally different I mean Internet services are expensive! and not unlimited so I couldn't catch up with my dose of British Telly.
So I had Only Local Nigerian Television ermmm yes no money for DSTV you can like to sow a seed lol.. So from Station to station there is either one Mexican or Brazilian series or the other showing at one point or the other. Dont get me wrong this did not just start ohhh I remember while in Uni then and we all will rush to the hostel to watch a particular mexican soap(When you are mine) comprising prominent characters Diego and paloma hmmmm as in this series ran for like 4 years never ending and corporate bodies were all supporting with sponsorship and the series just kept on going and going..even a nail bar on my street rebranded and named her salon "Paloma"! for real!
We did not just start this telenovella Madness I mean an average Nigerian youth has been through more telenovellas than an average Latino,One ends and the next is being brought on ASAP!
