There’s a new ‘craze’ in town, I mean on Nigerian TV’s and that is the foreign soap operas’ shown on Nigerian TV’s. Sometimes I wonder if there are no local soaps to be shown or we do have enough Nigerian soaps that there is now ’space’ to show these foreign (mostly mexican soaps) on our TV’s.

Though, I don’t watch this soaps, but their adverts do show that they are based on one love story or the other and most people(TV viewers) are addicted to watch them…..heya!

In my opinion we have some interesting Nigerian soaps, such as those of Wale Adenuga, especially Super Story, This Life, Papa Ajasco & Co. Tajudeen Adepetu is not left out (Domino was very interesting), now we are watching 168 (captivating), One Love, etc…….all are interesting and delightful to watch on our TVs’.

What are my driving at? 

I think efforts should be made to develop our ’soap opera industry’ and our TV should show more of our soaps and not all this Catalina, Eduardo etc.
