PJay77: I suspect that you remember the 2 of them. You are correct, Okoro was the owner of the patent medicine store and usually sneezed after taking his snuff, but the person with the moustache was Dr Bassey Okon. Bassey Okon (Jab Adu) was the first owner of the store, then Okoro took it over and then Boniface took it over from Okoro. |

7) Amebo (played by Ibidun Alison). She is the village gossip and bar owner. Chief Eleyinmi often called her "Radio Oja". She is usually well intentioned, but she's not well educated and she often stumbles on information that she doesn't quite misinterpretes it and spreads her misinterpreted story all over the village. This often leads to crisis and confusion. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Anchor535: The TV festival was called the Nigerian Festival of Television Programmes (NIFETEP). I think NTA Benin won an award in 1986 with Pot of Life and NTA Channel 10 Lagos won an award in 1985 with The Reign of Abiku. 4 Likes |

naptu2: You are a rare gem Oga Naptu. I wish you good health and lots of God’s Favour. You always dig up goodies from the past. Lots of people might not have been around when those entertainments trended but we all learn and educate ourselves about our beautiful and nostalgic past. Thank you my good man. 3 Likes 1 Share |

This is a TVC video from November 2019. The surviving cast of the Village Headmaster celebrate 50 years since it was first aired. Jimmy Johnson was interviewed at the 2:22 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVi-YIBCKsI 1 Like |

RIP. The purists are leaving the stage one after the other. Those who played characters larger than life and created poignant reality from acting, not for penny but for passion.... now replaced by the generation for which the pound means everything who have turned reality to a show of sorts and with little skill and absolutely no other passion but that of lust are hailed as the ace performers of the generation x..... does Nigeria have anything of value left on its shores... |

I think there was Sisi Clara and some catch words like 'sme sme' just hoping I am not mixing things up. I was very young. Started watching from the 80s |

naptu2: Nice write up as usual but on this one you have a few errors. 1. Initially the patent shop was run by Bassey Okon and his daughter Ekaette. 2. When the actor who played Ekaette left the show,Boniface was brought in as Bassey Okon's apprentice in the patent shop. 3.When Bassey Okon left the show Okoro became the patent shop owner with Boniface as his apprentice. 4. When Okoro left the show Boniface now became the patent shop owner. I hope my memory is correct. ![]() |
Re: Jimmy Johnson 'Okoro' Is Dead by naptu2: 11:04am On Jul 09, 2020 |
Caveatemptor: You wrote almost the same thing I did, but you made a little error. Dr Bassey Okon was the first owner of the shop, then Okoro took it over and then Boniface took it over, but Dr Bassey Okon's daughter was Fathia Okon (she is my relative in real life). Welcome to the thread, I have been awaiting your contribution. 1 Like 1 Share |

naptu2: Cosmos Ali's wife in the New Village Headmaster was Major Tobias Akwashiki's wife. Tobias Akwashiki was initially sentenced to death by firing squad by the Special Military Tribunal that convicted Mamman Vatsa, Ben Ekele, Mike Iyorshie and Co in 1986. His sentence was later commuted to 10 years, then 5 years and he was finally set free in 1993. The trauma of the entire saga caused her to leave the show. I think she later became a senator. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

naptu2:Excellent effort. I think you missed Ekaete - Basset Okon's daughter. |

When I remember those days (the 70s and 80s), I cry. Nigeria was making progress. We had sound education as kids, taught us by educationists trained abroad. My first headmaster was British trained. Most of my teachers were all foreign trained and the education we received was unbelievable. Then IBB came to power and sent the country downhill. He introduced the settlement culture (buying of favours and loyalty) which has fully metamorphosed into the fraudulent mentality of Nigerian youths of today. Just too bad. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
