seunajia: For the very 1st time in their clueless lifetime, I am in support of a GEJ administration policy. *takes bow*You are comparing the population viewing audience in SA to Nigeria? with NTA having 38 substations and hundred of radio stations, that is a lot of money to be made from advertising. Will the likes of Maku and members of the BON watch the games? Of course they will, because they can afford sat' channels. |

touch_me_hard: It is not the responsibility of the government to pay for tv rights, it is not even in the budget,. That's for BON to do. Read my earlier post. F. G decide to rescue BON by adding to the 2.5 millions that BON has, but BON insists that F. G should back off. |

There are many ignorant people here, who told you that south africa own the broadcasting rights? Keep deceiving yourself by saying eeven Togo o Benin is broadcasting the games, the right to broadcast the games is privatly owned by a Beninois who owned LC2 and Nassuba express. Many people here still think that Nigeria is something, keep deceiving your god damm self cause all those countries around Nigria are better organized and competent. Now Nigeria was asked to pay more because of what it should have been in terms of viewing power due to the number of the population. sincerely do you think 200 million people should pay the same as 10 million peoples? I don' think so 4 Likes |

C. whyte:Comparing Nigeria to Zambia, when you are supposed to be the so called big brother of African and the giant? You think BBC pays the same amount with NTA during world cups and the Olympics? No wonder your leaders take you lot for fools. They will say: Building a modern equipped hospitals is too expensive, because themselves and their family can afford to pay through the nose abroad to get the benefits of a good one abroad. Job BON my backside!! What for the life of my is 4.5million Euros to Nigeria, to starve their citizens and taxpayer a very little enjoyment of a football game? |

Delafruita: in a nutshell,yo expect nigeria and cape verde to pay the same amount for broadcast rights despite the vast difference in population.perhaps you dont understand the concept.if we had a functional PPV system in nigeria,you'd understand how measly the 4.5million euros is when countries like ghana with less than one-tenth of our population pay close to 2million euros You're talking of population and market size, have you take it into consideration that we are talking of a branded television right here? The minister made veil reference to Orange Telecom, a poster added Stanbic Bank, don't you think this two coys will be given prominence by the Organizers than the any advertiser from Nigeria? Will you as an advertiser still go ahead to patronize BON when you know the allotted slot for your service won't be commensurate with the amount you paid? Summarily, the requested amount is too much for a branded service... 1 Like |

Delafruita: and that statement means depriving nigerians of an opportunity to watch their team in the AFCON?what kind of people are these people?the fact that yo have DSTV doesnt mean everybody does.i had to deploy a teevee otside my office yesterday for a large crowd to watch the nigeria match.does that make sense?what then do the masses stand to gain from the government if not little things like this?4.5million euros is a measly sm that nigeria can afford to pay for the citizens to enjoy their soccer team.lets not forget nigeria didnt qualify last time and might not even qualify next time.this stupid decision just cost milions of nigerians the opportunity to see this generation of super eagles.if eventually nigeria wins(which i doubt),this stupid decision will have cost millions of nigerians the opportunity to see their nation lift a trophy.Well said, you can easily see the wickedness of Nigerians in display base on the way they see things from their little prism of life. When a Nigerian recognises that something is bad is only when it affect him/her directly. |

BON is right on this.That politicians are milking d country dry does not mean outsiders will follow suit. Those against BON decision should know tht BON did not say they wont pay for viewing right rather they re demanding for a fair price which is normal in every commercial negotiation.We have been crying about DSTV,MTN pricing now tht we are seeing an agency tht is ready 2 fight for fair price,l think we must support them. As for those tht may not be able 2 watch d matches(cos they dont hv payTV),they should pls bear,cos if we want to clear d rot in d system we all need 2 sacrifice something. 1 Like |

C. whyte:Divide the population/viewing figure in Zambia against what they are charged and then do the same for Nigeria and thell me who is paying more? How many Nigerian taxpayer knew in advance that NTA is not going to show the games until yesterday? NTA belong to the public and its their duty to take such a public service very serious in advance or at least warn the general public ahead? Private tv stations can do what they like, even so, they owe it to their viewing public if they are to negate inn showing the games a subscriber thought he has paid to watch. BON/NTA/Govt owe it to Nigerian public to broadcast the game as a public service or at least give the courtesy of an well advance warning. 1 Like |

Austinobisnr: gettin our facilities in order, makin sports more profitable &getting d priv, sector involved in nigerian football will set us up stage, enable us win hosting rights, &we wldnt have to beg for broadcasting rights. Dis is all as a result of our inability to plan long term, instead, we want short term solutions Only in Nigeria would a government budget planned for something else be used for another. And only in Niger would a government departmental budget underspending be increased for the following years. In other countries budget not used for the year means major future budget cuts. Unless there is a very deep pocket that this money would be channeled to to balance the books. Lol, at hosting rights imagine all the bribes that would have to be payed to host and by the attendees. You need a miracle. |

Eziachi:if you didn't know the matches weren't going to be broadcast live in Nigeria, then you obviously spend more time watching papa ajasco than watching the news so stop blaming BON or anybody because they owe you nothing. Nta, ait, channels,silverbird etc are all free to air channels so and thrs no way they could have made any profit if they pool together €4.5 million which would have been a waste of time and finances, if you are a businessman you will understand better. BON which is an association of all broadcasters in Nigeria actually adviced the federal govt against even subsidising the cost of the broadcast right so pls do your research well. I support this action to the fullest, no south african or any other national has the right to exploit me I don't know about you |

Esiere: The pricing obviously will be based on population. A leopard can't change its skin. A bad government can't think about masses first and put as second their own interests. Mr Maku enjoys every second of the AFCON because he has access to paytv . Go to Aso Rock, they are enjoy it. Mr Maku should stop insult the masses sensibilities. If it were to be something that will benefit them...they won't think twice befoe doing it. Mr Maku keep fooling yourself. Be truthful to yourself....is the money up to what you alone stole last year. Close to 170 million are meant to watch it. Haaaa, uncle u can lie o, tell us how where 170 million suppose to watch it, you mean na the entire population of nig. Go watch am? Both children and aged people that can't even see again?, what bat the blind, u don minus the pple wen book haram don deleate?, Dana plane crash, the 50 people wen die for Anambra river, then the once when die for accident for lagos ibadan express? What of alum 4 u don minus, the once Fulani don collect nkor,u don minus Yokowa nd azazi?

The question I want to ask is if that particular price was for nigeria alone. What did other african countries pay. If it was far less, then what d BON did was for the best. It amounts 2 exploitation. If that was d same price payed by ghana and other african nations, then FG no get excuse. www.fatsolution.net |

str8_talk: If smaller countries like Ghana & Benin are being charged €2m,then itz wise for Nigeria to pay €1m,because we have d market & population. Shouldn't it be the other way around? They are charging based on the number of people that would consume their product. Look at this way, about 7 Ghanas makes 1 Nigeria (population-wise). So the price quote for Nigeria should be equivalent to 7 times that quoted for Ghana. |

Nigerians still have a long way to go o .... Someone already made it clear to you guys and you still dey there dey argue. This thing is business, I can only buy what is profitable to sell. The bidding for this broadcast rights was purely a private business affair between BON and LC2. Unfortunately the two companies could not reach an amicable resolution, so the deal fell apart. How in anyone's mind did this become government's headache. In as much as the government is overtly corrupt and insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, I am very convinced that they are right in this instance, very soon some of you will want to federal government to mediate if there is a dispute with you and a garri seller. 2 Likes |
