SSS Invades AIT: Stops Political Broadcast!

@Razorr
thank you very much for the update. at least, we know what has happened even though we are still yet to know why it has happened.

@noblezone & linkspammer
i want to thank you immensely for your contributions. you understand the current system. the only thing is i don't see much of a positive difference by May 29th because saturday's election has not been conducted. if Yar'adua wins, it would make no difference to me. when a man's playing the game of chess, he controls every piece on the board. i was equally surprised that i couldn't watch AIT since sunday evening and my mind went straight to their work towards the governorship election. for now, i don't know and so, i will not say much. it's rather unfortunate that they have been the most taunted tv station in the past few years just because they're trying to be transparent and show to nigerians what really is amidst.

i will be watching this thread closely and keep my ears in the air.

Why at this time should AIT be making some made up documentaries abaout OBJ ? Common sense should suggest that the polity is too heated.

My man Fella Called it  "Demonstration of craze!" I wish he did not die, I miss him.

But again Nigerian have to say no to such s***!

In Civilized countries people don't get arrested for freedom of speech!

But, I also understand that it will take Nigeria a while before we start experiencing the real democracy.

Even the US that claims they are king of democracy don't have it all together, you have to live here to agree with me!

amazing

SSS = Stupid Senseless Suckers

heard on the news that their lagos station was gutted by fire while d abuja station was raided by sss
what a shame for democracy

Freedom, either of the press or individual is never total, but carries with it some responsibilities - otherwise it will be ok to kill and destroy one another if it takes one's fancy.  I have had cause to state in another thread in this forum my belief that Nigeria will never die. Our politicians are just doing what they know best - at the end, they will be backslapping one another, unmindful of the stress and aches they would have caused a lot of poor folks. Politics Nigeriana is unique and defies standard logic & ethos. And that's what makes it not only beautiful, but interestingly dangerous.
AIT's airing of a politically sponsored programme in our already heated polity was wrong. No responsible govt would have allowed that programme to run it's course in the belief that it would later sanction the station - the sanctions would have been worthless after counting the costs for leaving the programme to finish. (The genesis of the Rwandan genocide still lingers in discerning minds). Every election conducted in our country has ALWAYS had it's segment of cynics, doomsayers, badbelles etc yet Nigeria had always come out stronger to the consternation of the world.
Those of you outside our shores and encouraging us to 'fight for our rights' would do well to come home and be at the forefront in the 'defense of our democracy' rather than be like our politicians who prod us on while their families are safely domiciled offshore. To my brethren in the thick of it, be angry if you must but remember that this election, like the others before it will come to pass. So while the politicians are at their mischievous best, endeavor to keep your sanity and keep trusting that good will triumph in the end.
Back to our dear AIT, freedom always comes with responsibility. In your bid to prove your independence, don't set your country ablaze as the fire therefrom will also consume you.
Let's meet at the polls on Saturday. May the evil men and thieves among us be put to shame. We shall breathe fresh air again. God bless you all

Now I'm getting confused.

Is OBJ really behind the invasion of AIT?  If you answer in the affirmative, can you kindly prove that?

The reason I am asking this is because AIT is back in operation and just finished showing a documentary of Obasanjo's achievements in the past years, just a couple of minutes ago.  Or is there something I'm not getting right?

Yes what happened is a sad reflection of the democracy in OBJLAND!Whatever they were airing;if inflammatory should have been left for the regulatory body concerned to take the appopriate action.Alas,no!NTA refused to air the opposition's campaigns,Airlines were threatened with revocation of their licenses for flying the oppostion,now this!
The same government that has refused to comply with numerous Supreme Court rulings,ridden roghshod over the Federal Constitution,decimated the living standards of her people~not surprised though!
I also notice certain advocates of the government of the day have not really risen to the occassion on this thread~paucity of what to contribute?

I think AIT is back online because i watched a program last night on their station
