Yes i jumped the race card, but it was obvious what the op was getting at.

This is like going to watch a movie in someone's house and then complaining he didn't allow you see the cast before shutting off the TV.

Yes his actions are rude, But I say buy your own DAMN tv.

But no we would rather play the victim and come next international event we all tune to the same people who shit on us to watch.

We never learn. We always play the victim
Thats my point

Did u take special note bro? British nigerians!...."british" comes befor d "nigerians" u knw? Besyds, as long as one makes a living there, u v gat to be taxed(british or not). Woeva dey choose to broadcast will PRIMARILY reflect THEIR VALUES & INTERESTS.....other events elsewhere is SECONDARY! My point basically is........we v gat NTA lyk dey v gat BBC! Dey v chosen to go global with deir programming( as evidenced in deir offices worldwide, eg BBC africa with reporters and offices in various countries in africa) yl NTA has chosen to give primary focus to d activities of happenings in d ruling party and d FG! Lyk I said, we should rather vent on NTA for nt providing us with free-to-air access to d CWG and nt on what BBC chooses to broadcast!

the OP is a Nigerian based in the UK and the BBC holds the right for domestic broadcast of the Games, so where else do you expect him/her to catch what BBC denied him/her of viewing. The UK is home to many nationalities and those people pay for TV license. The BBC should not just focus on only British athletes. Other nationalties too deserve better service.

dabossman:

You obviously don't know much about broadcast rights for events such as this. It is not as simple as buying "your own TV". What if your neighbour has been given exclusive rights to be the only one who owns a TV in the entire locality and you can only watch TV by going to his house?

That said, the OP is a Nigerian based in the UK and the BBC hold the right for domestic broadcast of the Games, so where else do you expect him/her to catch what BBC denied him/her of viewing. The UK is home to many nationalities and those people pay for TV license. They deserve better service.

The Nigerian Television Authority - also known as NTA - was inaugurated in 1977 and is the government-owned body in charge of television broadcasting in the country.[1] The NTA claims to run the biggest television network in Africa with stations in several parts of Nigeria. Formerly known as Nigerian Television (NTV), the network began with a take... ... A number of NTA programmes can be viewed online via Africast as well as TelAfric Television (US & Canada). NTA News bulletins are frequently aired on Africa Independent Television, and BEN Television in the United Kingdom. The station was made available through Sky in the UK on channel 202, but in early March 2010, they refused to make their channel pay-per-view on Sky .

You assume a lot!
Buying your own TV was an analogy to illuminate my point which you have missed.

We neeed to stop sulking and start holding building our own infrastructure.
We depend on the 'whites' for virtually everything!!
And when we don't get what we think we 'deserve' we then begin to sulk and start playing the victim.

You hold the Nigerian Government accountable for not being able to show British-Nigerians the heroics of Nigerians
You don't hold the British for not showing British-Nigerians the heroics of Nigerians

Arosa: They are silly.

Who got the tv rights to the games?
Who do you pay to if you want to view the game?
I paid to dstv in order to view the games while they in turn pay to whoever.
So if I did not get value for my money, I should keep mute?
Seem you have succumbed to these racists called Brits but we shall condemn the horrible display of your master while we work towards building ourselves strong enough to get our tv rights in the future.
BBC is a leading propagator of racism around the world, take it or leave it >

MadCow1: She was probably on drugs thats why.

ROSSIKE:

You mean your prosti/tute mother?

NSNA: BBC disrespected Nigerians.


BBC was showing the medal presentation the 3rd mounted followed by the 2nd and received their medal presentation, when it came to the 1st Blessing Okagbare's turn they cut to studio and Gary Lineker annoced that they have run out of time.

You don't have 10 seconds to show the winner of the main event of the commonwealth.

Give me a break! shame on you BBC

ROSSIKE:

My friend stop talking jazz. If it was Jamaica or Kenya that won a medal BBC would have no problem airing all aspects of the ceremony. Those of us who have watched them for years KNOW there is a definite anti-Nigerian bias there. This is obviously due to Nigeria's status as the black world's biggest and leading nation. Why should we not mention it? If you have nothing to say I suggest you shut it.
