The girl in the super blue omo is actually a family friend..funny I last saw her 2009 in London when she came to spend some time with my fam...this is insane!!
hahahhahaha! thanks who ever uploaded dis..full of childhood memories.. Originality it's funny how we have fallen so behind from what other African countries expected from us..
Nigeria indeed looks messed up, but who do you blame for it? We are all culpable, from the politician who goes there to pillage the treasury and fails to deliver to the ordinary man and woman on the street who can see evil being perpetrated and refuses to do something.
@ zinmanship: did you notice the phoneboot, these have been out of existence since like 20 years ago ... Now who will restore Nigeria back to its old glory!
OMO medium size 68k, Lux 40k, Closeup Standard size 75k, Blue Band 1:50k, New Closeup 3:70k. Wao........ I could still remember these adverts and Now what is the price of these stuffs? You can multiply them by 100 or 1000, where as it is not up to 30 years now..... Pity!!
Where are those kids in the adverts now? I think they should have a copy of this advert for remembrance purpose. I will do, if I was on the Blue band advert....lol
@glenakin, is there anything you can do to make the country better instead of chastising the country? I don't know what your age bracket is, but all i know is that 9ja has improved from how she was in '90s- even though there is plenty of work to be done in terms of corruption.
THIS IS OUR PROBLEM, AND UNTILL IT IS FIXED WE ARE NOT GOING NO WHERE. WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT HAVING A STATE. WE NEED TO HAVE A STATE THEN A GOVERNMENT.
now blueband taste horrible.it is made in ghana,now due to the fact that nigeria moved some of there company to ghana when theres no constant light in nigeria.nigeria supplied ghana light,and nigeria don't have light every day.
@hot2dmax Are you kidding me? Blue Band was rubbish, at least in those days! The best was Planta - it was so good, you could spread it straight from the fridge. These days, no one cares - everyone buys foreign margarine because Planta was discontinued.
My eyes filled with tears while watching this video clip. I really remember these adverts when niaja was still a good ENVIABLE country. Not the mis-ruled, messed up country it is today!
Nigeria Got the First TV station in Africa which is the same one you watching now NTA, we also have the First lady to drive a car in Africa or own a car is from Nigeria, You kids can say am lying.. i was born in d 80's so i know what da fuck am saying.. up Nigeria... am Nigerian Canadian Dagrin Number 1 Fan.. disss me kids.. most people that will reply me with fake ass reply will be Nigerians... you guys are fake ass bitches... Rip Grin... and fuck u haterz
I actually won a racing competition after having blue band margarine, taking bath with Lux soap, brushing my teeth with close up and washing my clothes with OMO....:)
I REMEMBER THESE DAYS WHEN HONEY USED TO BE SWEET, WHEN ROAD POT-HOLES USED TO BE PLUGGED, WHEN OBASANJO USED TO BE CALLED UNCLE SEGE, WHEN NATIONAL THEATRE, IGANMU USED TO BE A NATIONAL MONUMENT, WHEN NIGERIANS USED TO OBSERVE AND RESPECT THEIR CULTURES, WHEN U SLEEP WITH NO WORRY OF D ARMED ROBBERS AND D HOME INVADERS etc. WHEN NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA WOULD VISIT HOME WITHOUT THE WORRY OF BEING TARGETED BY ROBBERS. GONE WERE THOSE DAYS. THANKS TO Ibrahim Babangida WHO TOOK ALL THESE AWAY FROM US
i am working for the same Nigeria Again , i am getting the old Nigeria back , i request the nigerian Government to firstly erect their own oil refineries and start refining pateroleum them selves rether than getting all the foreign refineries who give us a %age of the pateroleum as 'Dashi"and i ask you to join hands with me and i assureyou that we can have the Nigeria back ,i am Arqam and my e mail is marqamtariq@gmail.com .
wow that u for this post good old days when we use to be proud of Nigeria, but now its all lies living in lies sleeping with lies eating lies all about lies, untill Nigerian gvt learn to do things the right way nothing will change, we se how its done in other country why can we do the same, i gues they cant cus they all serve themself
@shessme u are right the voice in d 1st joy soap advert was not of nigerian accent, but if he is nigerian he definately did not grow up in nigeria. As for the nigerian advert being short in south aftica, that is a 100% true. I use to work for a very popular advert firm in nigeria b4 I left the country in 2004 and most of the adverts were short is S/A, eg peak milk, three crown milk, even take a look at the present detol soap advert.
Er ... nope, that wasn't Genevieve Nnaji. That was my roommate's sister and someone else, but definitely not Genevieve. And they were around 11 yrs old.
That's a bit ignorant of you. Are you implying that there aren't any Nigerians with accents like these?
At the time of these commercials South Africa was still ruled by an apartheid government, it would be impossible to have shot any black advert there. One more thing, South Africans hardly sound like this.
ahh oga, what is the insult about, did i say anything about south africa, you can prove me if i'm wrong. My statement remains that there were many foreigner in nigeria then, even now in some of the advert in nigeria you see white people e.g chi adverts, and i wasnt implying that nigerians cant speak that way. i'm just speaking about the situation in nigeria back then. But maybe you want the world to know that you have such accent and at the same time you are a nigerian, but thats childish of u
@shessme There were lots of NTA staff sent abroad for diction training too! Remember the lovely Ruth Benemaisia Opiah, Sienne All-Well Brown/Razak-Lawal and Donald Ovberedjo? They spoke/speak excellently!
When Nigeria was good. Now look at everything - fucked up. I know like 900 Nigerians will reply and say otherwise. Diss me, say what you like, I have eyes - I can see how effed up the country is. And I aint gonna stop dissing either!
@BBBauer typical reply from an ignorant nigerian who wants to claim patriotism. Being a patriot means recognising the truth and speaking against it. What am I doing? I'm speaking against it. What else can I do? Oust the government and rule the country? Nigga, get real
Gone are the days. I could remember these adverts. Citizens are progressing in there struggling for achievements while "Good for nothing Leaders are damaging, mis-managing, depressing, abusing and down-grading our gifted Economy". We have all what it takes to be a developed country, but we are suffering of 100% embezzliment compared to other countries on the globe. Solidarity against those stupid act of corruptions we soon start against corrupt Nigerian Leaders.
i think it's "--washes brighter and it shones" the omo of the mid to late 70s was as good as it could be, but the ones of the mid 90s (including this advert's time) was a washout.
Wow...........Good old times.I was quite young den but can still vividly remember them.The prices of the products as seen in dis footage were btw 68k and 3.70k.Alarming!Compared to what the prices are b4 i left d country 4 months back.Look @ wat bad leadership has left us with.They ve ruined d economy totally.God help Us.Nice video all the same.
This sure evokes childhood memories! Wasted years, wasted opportunities...shame on the politicians, shame...shame on all those who could make a difference and stood down!
Oh! I remember the old days when one can buy lots of things with one naira and still have change to spare. I love this video it reminds me of the old days
if nija's standard's maintained as it was from the start...am sure today we will be one the CLASSIEST and PRESTIGIOUS countries in the world....GOD PLEASE HELP US WIPE OUT THE CORRUPTION...it's just way too much!
Omo...68 kobo...can you imagine??? I'm sure folk were freaking out at how expensive close up was...3 naira 70 kobo...hmmm try somewhere around 100 naira for the small size....How times have changed....
