Tinubu Adds N250 Million CONSAT to his falling Empire by FreeGlobe(f): 10:43pm On Jul 03, 2014
FORMER Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has further extended his grip in the media and broadcasting business as he finally rolled out services of his new pay TV company, CONSAT.
According to information available to ENCOMIUM Weekly, the new pay TV platform, Continental Satellite Limited, will operate in the form of cable satellite pay television with bouquet and dish and the network will operate from the premises of Continental Broadcasting in Ikosi, Ketu, Lagos. Findings revealed CONSAT package cost N15,000 and will provide 15 channels which include CNN, BBC, Aljazeera and movie channels. Another 95 channels are also available for subscribers who prefer the cable service.

The plan to float a pay TV platform by Bola Tinubu has been in the pipeline for some time now. The equipment used in the setting up of the company was shipped in to Nigeria last year from Europe. According to inside source, about N250 million went into setting up the new television venture.

Tinubu’s intention to set up this new pay TV is borne out of his inability to take over assets of HiTV, a pay TV company where he is said to have financial stakes.

GTBank’s terms and condition is identified as a stumbling block to Tinubu’s takeover bid and that was after the company packed up due to huge debts and its CEO, Toyin Subair left the employment of the company.

CONSAT will no doubt give other pay TV platforms like DSTV, Startimes, a run for their money in terms of services and reach. Tinubu’s CONSAT is said to be cheaper and provides more channels than other platforms.
The company’s official colour is yellow and black.

Is nothing bad for a private citizen to invest his money. However, questions need to be asked on how he got the money especially when he is a former public servant.
Anyway he is creating jobs.

Again 99.9% of the posters above are ibos! All the negative posters are 99.99% ibos yet Tinubu was never a governor in Iboland! You never laid a dime of your ibo taxes to him, but guess who is crying the most? Ibos! This shows that ibos are cursed with mega problems. The remaining ones have been bought with money to keep cursing out their fathers and generations by pointing to another man when their entire generations will never have 0.1 Tinubu! Check what losers! PDP is paying money to ibos to come online and lay the groundwork for the hatred that will be an excuse for their next massacre, all for N 5 per post per day? Tinubu meanwhile rides on like a colossus, imagine his many people he will need to employ to manage the consat TV company? There will be many indigent ibos who will be crawling on their flat chest and scrawny appendages writing "I beg to apply letters" and he will still pity them and give them a small job or contract so that starvation does not unleash another epidemic on ibos.

To ibos, they'd rather have DSTV or some foreign company colonize Nigeria because they are slaves of money and lazy bastards! Well Tinubu may you live long and fulfill the best plans God will have you fulfil. May you leave 1000 Yorubas who will be in the mould of Chief Awolowo with the grit of Tinubu to survive modern day Nigeria! May your enemies never amount to anything in this life, all ibos who hate you shall be your slaves and slaves of your own people! Ibos say amen! Like their leader died a failed man and politician, so win they also die and wither but may it be worse for them for they shall see water and good in this same Nigeria but will not be able to get a drop to cool their dry, hot and parched tongues! Amen.

What taxpayers money? You mean Tinubu can not source funds or bank loans based on his name alone, based on co investors or even his own personal investments?

Why not tell us exactly how you found out it was taxpayers money, how much and where it came from?

Why are you people so clueless, so naive and full of hate the even the most basic reasoning jumps over your heads?

CONSAT launches as new DTH pay-TV platform in Nigeria




Nigeria-based pay-TV platform, Continental Satellite Limited (CONSAT), launched its services in the country earlier this week. The new entrant aims to cut through the monopoly in the Nigerian pay-TV market and provide more ‘content at a fairer price’.

CONSAT, which is owned by former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is seeking to offer satellite TV for middle and low income earners, by allowing subscribers to only pay for the channels they want to watch.

“We operate from Nigeria, have cutting edge technology, are affordable and provide compelling content for our viewers” said Mayokun Okunola, CEO of CONSAT.

CONSAT decoder is available for NGN 14,999 (USD 92) with a two month free subscription and free installation. The pay-TV platform initially has 55 channels with international and local channels for news, music, sports, religion, documentary and movies. However, the pay-TV platform plans to increase its channel portfolio to 70 by the end of 2014 and later to over 100 channels by 2015.

“Our content providers are very passionate, we plan on developing our own content. It is our mandate to air contents from Nigeria and take it across the world, we will continue to invest in content,” said Addy Awofisayo, Director of Content at CONSAT.

Spend more time on your atrocious spelling and less time on hate and bad bele.


Why not help his people stop worshiping him by showing them what he stole, where he stole from, how much and who convicted him for stealing.

And while you are at it, explain to them why Jonathan and his useless EFCC are too incompetent to jail this ever investor and job creating thief...
