The madness of Nigeria to Mexico Telenovelas
- Nigerian soap operas and dramas, hit the TV screens the time (especially in the 80s), which exceeded 90, "Cock Crow at Dawn, Village Main, mirror on the sun behind the clouds, Ripples, hallucinatory Blues finally, Checkmate, Fortunes, among others. Foreign Comedies and especially the United States and Britain gave Nigeria a value is always fun viewing experience, as Jefferson, Good Times, Sanford and Sons, Strokes different, mixed blessings, care with language, a doctor in the room, lifting the dam, some mothers have they, Rent A Ghost "among others. Unfortunately, halting the spread of these programs and the Nigerians have had to settle with the flow Local productions have been launched on our faces.
However, "the rich also cry" back to the late 80 created a precedent for a large number of Latin American telenovelas (mainly from Mexico) and in some cases, Venezuela, to flood our screens. It was Telenovela the first waves ruled Nigeria at the moment. After the hearing recorded hit, "Secrets of sand", " No One But You "," Lady of the Rose ", Maria de los Angeles," successive rounds of Nigerians in America, with stories flavored fun. Unfortunately, somewhere along the 90, the spread of telenovelas experienced an abrupt end, the Closing the book was Latin America thrilling, exciting moments of the cliff suspended, and complex plots. of life of Nigerians especially in Lagos State (The Hub of the industry entertainment) had to do with other genres other than foreign theater, broadcasting directly into the private dining room of a country of God.
However, the resurgence of the soaps on our screens again with a big bang in 2005 with "When Seas Mia (When you're mine)" with 238 episodes of Paloma / Elena Olivares (Silvia Navarro), Diego Sanchez Serrano (Sergio Basanez), independent African television broadcast (AIT) to 21 hours and 19 hours MITV Monday to Friday. To say the least, especially at this time 21 hours, women, teenagers, children and, surprisingly, a number of men listening to people on the frequency of the AIT to see episodes of the program fee. Great was the answer to the soap opera that even with the power of epilepsy in the country at that time (Which is unchanged families) were observed with anxiety to run the clock generators, while those who were not identified in bars, clubs, restaurants, shops, neighbors or friends willing to look the same apartments.
The times are always heart stopping suspense and end of each episode features emerge, giving their views on what happened in the different scenes in the episode, what could and could not be performed by a particular character, was the suspected culprit, and a prediction of what would happen in the next episode. To miss an episode missing big! and those who miss that came forward to the next request to fill in the details of their friends in schools, offices, etc. All the actors and actresses to play their part and none of them has been inadequate. The cries of Paloma, Diego, three witches (Barbara, Berenice, Angela), Mariano, Fabian and other characters never stopped coming to the discussions. It was a beautiful story that has kept Nigerians glued to their television sets at fixed times. Bravo to the screenwriter, casting director, director, and the team that made our greatest pleasure of a memorable experience.
Catalina "n Sebastian," The Gardener's Daughter, "" second chance "also showed a good hearing. Second fortunate to have reached an American soap took its place, unfortunately, Nigerians are not as receptive and I think the sponsors realized that there should be rebranded winning, and we arrived with another soap opera "Until my last breath" appears only in the AIT at 10pm. Other stations TV shows like Galaxy, MBI (now deceased), NTA 10, STV, CTV also has benefited from the popularity of Latin American telenovelas are / still played as the "Lorenzo Wife", "La Usurpadora", "Esmeralda", "Camila," "Rebecca," " Ruby "," La Revancha "Storm over paradise."
Perhaps the beauty of televovelas these lies not only in its foreign origin, but its content, which shows the realities of life encapsulated in treason, lies, love, hate, lust for power and wealth, it breaks your heart, regardless of class status as an obstacle to marriage, a weak man, seemingly insurmountable difficulties of mountain where the man regardless race, nationality, tribe, sex, religion, faces daily. The suspense / thriller moments, intrigue, makes you want to see the next episode. Love, love and the pursuit of happiness is strongly projected in soap operas and tends to revolve around the plot of the story. Serenade (which is alien to this part of the world) is, respectively, seen in scenes where love is professed and reassured. Probably culture lovers.
The voiceover and English characters to ensure achieved through a high level of professionalism with which they do not speak Spanish, followed by the drama in the story easily. Imagine if it had been subtitled, not everyone was able to follow the dialogue ongoing. Another thing they have to offer is to be the theme song. The theme song "When you're mine" has become an anthem of soap "opera" in the Nigerians lips (although I could not understand the lyrics of the song) but the beats, choruses, and the singer made the song memorable. La Usurpadora, Rebecca, to my last breath as a good theme songs. Nigerians clearly reel in a few phrases in the dialogue process of the actors and actresses such as "My love, the love of my life I swear, forgive me, on the contrary, Salu.
However, some negative decimals are reappearing as forgiving, opening the way for revenge, proposing the theory of love as a valid reason for adultery and sought happiness, divorce, separation, single parents, lustful desires, top notch Christian doctrines reveals relegates to second place in a country where the Christian faith is probably practiced. This tends to send wrong signals to people of other nations.
Despite the short-go, soap operas have proven overtime to be worthy of sponsored and supervised by the people of Nigeria. It my belief that many more of these exciting soaps continue to hit our screens. Nigerians, but wait patiently for the telenovela in Latin America than the overwhelming effect that "the rich also cry" and "From Where Seas Mia" has had on them.
