Nigerian TV vs. Foreign TV

I think u need to start appreciating. Why should Laguna beach be recreated. Me thinks comparing Hollywood to Nollywood is really sick. Even the smallest ant knows that they r both un-comparable. So why do u want to start comparing them. Yes we ain't up to them. SO what? We are growing!

Laguna beach is one of my fav shows.. but for it to be re-created in nigeria is gon be stupid. Because LB is a reality Tv show. You cannot recreate Reality shows.. because then, it won't be reality.. it'D be acting.

let us not go too far. For the past 6 weeks I have been priviledged to watch South African TV stations via satellite at home and I must say its out of this world. Check out the same commercials for macleens, heinekeen, MTN, always and similar products and u get the feeling of being cheated. Look at the quality of their programming and the timing and you wonder. For avoidance of doubt I am refering to public TV stations owned by the south african government like SABC1, 2 & 3 and ETV .  Those people in NTA plus the private stations should hide their head in shame.

my best time nigerian programme gat 2 be FAMILY CIRCLE, "mummy said we shouldn't eat inbetween meals"

forget it! 

Men the gap is just to much

Let us not fall into the trap that oyibo wants us to fall into.  I seriously doubt that if you go to some random oyibo country, that they will be clamoring to watch our shows the same way we are clamoring to watch theirs.

If our shows aren't worth watching, we should either put in people who will ensure the proper programming or influence those already in positions to do so.

I remember some time in the late 90s when Ted Turner, former founder of CNN, was pissed at the french govt.  Why? because they told him that either his cartoon station (cartoon network) started showing english cartoons in french (as in, no subtitles) or get off the air.  I loved that move big time.  The french, as weird as they sometimes are weren't going to allow some english guy come in and subtly make english the language du jour of the french kids.

Personally, I prefer nigerian tv, no matter how bad.  I have stopped watching foreign films for one.  Our films have a moral lesson to be learnt at the end.  Sure, many are predictable, but they are getting better. I listen to AKBC radio online.  I have stopped listening to american rap.  When I am home, it is amazing how many of my buddies try to impress me (at least that is how I see it) by immediately flipping to CNN the minute I set foot in their houses.  I immediately request they change to their local TV station.  You should see the looks on their faces 

Maybe it comes with age.  I don't know.  One thing is for sure though - I prefer Nigerian TV to American anytime anyday!

I don't get you people sometimes? I mean, what nonsense again? _Gushhh!!!

teletubbies?? how old are you?

foreign tv

Nigerians are always sentimental whenever we are compared with S/Africa or US, yet some folks tell you that living in Naija is better than Abroad. We complain of crime in Naija, people say there are crimes in New York, then there is no power failure in Atlanta, some Nigerians will say Nigeria is a developing country.
   We complain of electoral fraud, Naija will say there was fraud in Florida; we will say there is fraud in all the elections in Nigerians while Naija apologists will say America is the oldest democracy.

We make comparison when we find similar problems in other countries and contrite when it is obviously clear that we are far behind. By the way, Kanu's peak milk commercial was shot in S/Africa. No Naija Advertising company could handle GLO /CAF Award promos. This topic should be a non-starter unless you have not watched, Channelo, Supersport, MNet Channels etc all S/African TV channels. What does Naija have ? NTA biggest TV network in Africa? Really; I wonder if Nielsen Scan system was used to validate this assumption.     

How could anyone possibly compare these two? we all know NTA is big joke! and all the other TV stations are less than 40 years old. . .

E ma fiku we oorun ke. O ga o

Nigeria can have its own version of reality show like laguna beach easliy, not a big production goes into it, before you sing of how marvelous it is, laguna has its moments of bad production, well reality shows are the cheapest things to make in tv. so yes Nigeria can have its own laguna too 

I have seen many many terrible tv in America and here in the Uk. you would die from laughing when you see some really bad stuff. In general yes they have the techno advantage, but when it comes to closeness to reality and something the average can relate to Nigerian tv is not bad . Growing , but not bad. don't forget many of these tv stations are funded by big money corporations and maybe when entrepreuneur start putting in more capital you will see a more crisp picture quality, sound etc and production all round. So well done to those trying their best in the Nigerian television industry.

thank u very much hot-angel for word of intelligent.

cheers ray.

interesting!!!!!
