Popular, comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma made an appeal to NTA Benin while sharing childhood memories with his fans.
In reminiscing about his early days, the humorous actor revealed that his first live audience on television was at NTA Benin, where he recited a poem.
When his aunty, who was a presenter at the time, took him home for a replay of the show so he could witness his performance on the black and white television, he was ecstatic.

When he tuned in to the station, the power company cut off the electricity when he reached his segment and then restored it when he finished.
Speaking further, Bovi pleads with NTA Benin to retrieve the 1985 clips of their kiddies program so as to watch his first performance.
He wrote:
First time I ever faced an audience live on tv was in NTA benin. I was 5 years old. I sang “bah bah blah sheep have you any wool? Yes sir yes sir three bags full…. “ you know d rest. My aunt, Margaret Edegware was a presenter at the station then. She took me home and I patiently waited for the repeat. Hours later the show came on and I sat glued to the black and white screen waiting for my part to come on. It sure did come but guess what!?!? Nepa took the light! They brought it back some 20 minutes later but of course, my part had passed. Abeg NTA benin, if you have those archives of your kiddies program, check the year 1985! I’m somewhere in There . May no nepa off our light when it’s our turn to shine for the remainder of this year
