Watch More Local Stations not DStv For News, DG NOA tells Nigerians

Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr Omeri queried Nigerians who complained that there are not aware of the activities of his agency.

He said: “I have discovered something, like I said, I have travelled over 20, 000Km since I took office. I have met people who say they have not seen me even in their states but then when I ask them what do they watch? They watch CNN, they are always on DStv watching other programmes; they don’t watch local stations.”

Mr Omeri said because Nigerians are always watching programmes on Digital Satellite television (DStv), the NOA may have to broadcast its information through that channel.

He however advised that “Nigerians must begin to look inward and look at their stations for news and things that interest them and are happening within their communities.”

...and what do local stations have to offer ooo?

Like N T A abi??




#yawn#

most of nigerian tv stations have little or nothing to offer, so y waste ma time when i have more educative programmes going on NAT GEO WILD....

If you bring supersport and african magic to nta we will stop watching Dstv

International stations are setting the pace for us(local stations) to follow!! So when AIT, NTA and co can upgrade their services to a HD standard, then we watch! For now DSTV rocks

Omeri has gotten High! His hands are up in Sky! When I see him passing by, everybody knows his high! High! High! High! And it's ova for him!
What the french has local stations got to offer? Only religious programs, religious programs, and even more religious programs.
All hail the garri Mr. Omeri just smoked.

2ND TO COMMENT AND 3RD ...DANCING ALANTA

You are more inspired, enlightened, entertained, educated etc watching foreign stations. You learn how not to do "it" and you can apply these lessons to the Nigerian situation. Nigerian Media is just filled with depressing news of crime and corruption, boring programs, wacked,uninspiring presenters and poor viewing quality.....Nd they expect us to stay glued to that?? Solve these problems first b4 clamouring for viewership.

Ban DSTV , revive HiTV and most importantly give out quality production and good content (get the journalists to do serious journalism)on NTA. Who would want to watch news with dull pictures on NTA when you can get crispy clear HD pictures on CNN with good content.

Local station hass nothing to offer... The only thing they know how to do is to make noise on the activities of the state and federal government.....

When you improve your production and good service delivery, let me know. As for my and my family is DSTV all the way. How do you expect me to chose 100naira when I have the liberty to 100doller? Even shoe sef get size

Hell No, I'll rather not watch TV at all than to just watch only NTA and AIT, I'll die of boredom!

quoi? station locale mon a$$, i cant stand my kids watching some st.tupid awkward programs that only dulls the mind of the watcher,
no inspirations,
17th century entertainment
ugly looking politicians debating
religious minions talking trash
boring advertisements
clueless/brainless presenters
moi je n' aime pas les station de locale pasque c’est un toxique de mon mentality.
in fact, kids who watch foreign station programes are more enlightened & inspired that those that watch NTA and co...

Are they serious?

So hypocritical ! Can he swear he. Doesn't have a DSTV decoder at home.

Not when I have NatGeo wild, Supersport and Discovery channel. I dislike NTA personally although I do see silverbird programs once in a while.

3rd to comment. Ahhahahahhah

Let 'em Clear their pics quality, cause it always injured my eye

[size=20pt]Can local stations view all EPL, UEFA, LA LIGA matches NO - so NOA DG is joking [/size]

I'm sure this man must be using DSTV PVR in his home and even pays Premium subscriber, even the Channels tv must be using same in their office

Does the DG know that NTA International, AIT, Channels TV, NN4, LTV, Silverbird, and a number of Nigerian stations are on DSTV? 'guess no one told him that.

Mak ah cme De Watch B0mb blast Ko.. Mtcheew ..MBC Abeq next m0vie

Oga NOA , well said. You people should make our local TV stations interesting to watch. NTA is dead spot.

omarky: Local station hass nothing to offer... The only thing they know how to do is to make noise on the activities of the state and federal government.....

Of course that is the main reason he say u should watch local stations.
He has a lot of free air time to talk govt 'achievements' on local tv and he is raged that people don't watch him

Taking 'Local' Down To It's True 'Local' Meaning To Me Right Now Would Mean NTA Ilorin & KWTV.... Both Stations Are Way Below Average.

i saw dana crash on France24 breaking news flash then i tuned to NTA for more detail and they were showing 1998 wrestling..what a shame, the other day it took them until the next day to announce the bayelsa helicopter crash with their erroneous reporters.
