TALES BY MOONLIGHT

Aimed at promoting African folklore, Tales by Moonlight was created by the Director of Programmes at NTA, Victoria Ezeokoli, to rival the widely popular USA kiddies show, Sesame Street.

The 30-minute epic hit show, initially presented by a lady, was later handled by Jimmy Solanke, and just like the other shows on this list, it featured one of the most popular theme songs in Nigeria—it was even sampled by popstar and one-time DOWNTOWN cover personality, Kizz Daniel on his song, No Do.

The show went on to fizzle out in the 90s and although it made a comeback in the 2000s, its impact on pop culture began to dwindle significantly.
