Nostalgia!!!! Old School Nigerian Adverts from the 80's




For ANYONE who grew up in Nigeria in the eighties, these ads MUST take you back some. There are some ads here that if you aren't Nigerian, you simply cannot "get it". For example the two men in the very first set of ads extoling the virtues of 'Elephant' were famous Nigerian comedians (from two different tribes). Listen to their English (deliberate i must add). Hilarious!! The second of the JOY girl commercials i remember especially as i always always wanted to be HER!! Plus she looked a lot like an aunt of mine...
Nigerians respond to information, so the more information given, the better the chances your product has. Enjoy.
