fellow nairalanders, i don't know if this applies to only me, but am sure a number will agree with me. there is this programme on NTA where a very very simple question is asked and the viewers are cajoled to call a certain number, whereby if they get the answer right, they'll win a cash prize.
Now, my grouse is that the producers do not inform the viewers that N100 will be deducted from their phone account balance for every trial to call.even a message too cost N100.
another is the mere fact that the lines are never open until the time duration nearly runs out then an unconvincing caller is then allowed to profer an answer.
to me this is a perfected ripping of the unsuspecting public.
nairalander, your opinions please.

I'm pretty sure you are wrong about the producers not stating the cost of a phone call or sms cos it is always stated on the screen. I'm fully in support of your other point cos i'm also kinda skeptical about the authenticity of those callers in these call- in- win supposedly live programmes on t.v. Bottomline is that if you are really gonna be pained about losing 100 naira in an effort to with 10,000, don't bother playin! Simple.
