after 20the minutes i put off my gen and went out, i was so so disappointed

Kylekent59:
What if they had decided not to air it just like other stations?


Nigerians just like to exaggerate a situation with any slightest opportunity they see.


At least the match was aired. You guys should stop criticising them.

bros is like u didn't watch the match...
there is no exaggeration in all of this.. honestly it a big shame they broadcast that match i have never in my entire life seen something like that b4...
if they hadn't shown the match believe me we are use to it and it would had been better than that public disgrace...
i had to leave the viewing center after the first half..
imi believe if this happens in an European country there will be a protest the next day belief me

aro1:
If person watch that visuals twice in a week repeatedly,that eye go get cataract!
NTA is the true reflection of Nigeria.. That TV Station should go down in history as the worst television station in the history of mankind!

Lmao... The day I watched NTA last, I swore never again... The kin headache that day ehn

Koralords:

Imagine Cyril stober is still in nta have know that guy since I was in primary sch

The guy still dey do news.
No young bloods at all

they take everything NTA to the villa for editing before releasing to the public hence, they cannot successfully air a match live without errors.

People like you are the reason why Nigeria is still backward, mtweetch

The highlight is available on YouTube for those who care for a clear footage of the match

Why didn't supersport cover the match?
Lemme guess. We closed our border to supersport to encourage "local production" of nta.
Oshisco. Patriotism does not breed professionalism after all.
Wetin you no get, you no get am be dat

Settle for less mentality.
Make we manage am like that mentality.
Why did NTA Hussle for broadcast rights, only to make a mess of it?

Grow, young man. Do away with this mediocre thought process.

Been Murray Bruce tried to modernise NTA when he was DG, but mediocre thinkers thought he was moving too fast. Should NTA be broadcasting images that look like we are back in the 70's?

Freehuman:
After searching all the supersport channels and couldn't find any that aired the just concluded Super eagles vs Squirrel qualifiers I proceeded to search over 400 channels on DSTV one after the other to view the match as a patriotic Nigerian. I stumbled on one of the NTA CHANNELS (I don't even know the name) and I was disappointed to the core. I buried my head in shame.

But I'm sure of one thing and I'll bet my life on this assertion. Mike , Seyi , Ebuka and UTI who are all from the BBN which the older and conservative population criticize would have given a much better commentary (though they are not sport analysts). I've listened to them talk for minutes, impromptu , and they are in a class different from NTA sport commentators.

I can bet with my life that if Unlimited LA or Clarence Peters (both private directors under the age of 40 who started their careers as hopeless young men in a hopeless country)were given an opportunity to cover the match, they would have given us a better video and audio coverage. It's visible in the music videos the make which can compete with music videos in America and Europe.

These are people millions of Nigerians talk down on day after day including their non functional CAN and MURIC for promoting liberalism.

If after today an under 40 in Nigeria blames his contemporary for the backwardness of this country...

You shouldn't bet your life on it that Clarence would do a better job. Live coverage is a totally different ball game from what Clarence does. Clarence studied cinematography, and does film making, cinematography, and music video directing. None of these skills totally prepares you for live coverage aside camera handling.

If you doubt me, check for Clarence raw works before all the editing has gone into it. Film making also allows you retake shots, remove unwanted shots, and do video editing to clean out mistakes. It is like an actor who acts on stage and the one that acts in movies. The one that acts on stage does more because once he is in front of the audience, he can't afford to make mistakes or forget his lines while the one who does movies can make mistakes and retake his lines.

This is not to make an excuse for NTA, just to let you know that there is a difference between film making and live coverage.

is Cyril stober not doing well... u still got great minds there... blame the Nigerian govt that hasn't upgraded nta entirely...

greatbrian:


Listen to yourself.... NTA is a national TV Nigerian official TV. It should be far better than channels etc. Come on man wake up its not a private company it's the nations

Are you minding that clown?

thatigboman:
a good tv station should not have only 1 cameraman for a match, they should have at least 4

abi na even more than 4 self... DE just tried showing d match de weren't prepared for it... it's sad nta can't be like BBC owned by British govt

thatigboman:
it would have been better. They intentionally stopped DSTV from airing it

don't be ignorant caf has issues with media rights it hasn't been sorted out did u see under 23 on dstv make una no de carry fake rumors... dis match u watch today did u pay for it

You right at least Ben Bruce tried during his time cos they where showing champions league and Priemiership then
Nta is just like everything in nija imagine the Abuja stadium the day I saw the pics of that stadium I was close to tears

Not surprising for a country ruined by nepotism, tribalism and quota system

na im I dey look yeye people were been dey talk say Naija can survive without South African companies like ShopRite,DSTV,Mtn and co during d destruction period of xenophobia ..

I just dey laugh them...

Yes we have been surviving before ShopRite,I understand but u see the other two companies...No Nigerian company in telecommunication and cable broadcast can reach their level...never...and not under d present government..
Let them keep closing borders

Who were the mediocre thinkers that thought he was going too fast.

Ben Bruce was there for 4 years. No one thought he was going too fast. As a matter of fact, the man that succeeded him, Iredia, did very well as well and is even adjudged the best DG NTA ever had.

Your IQ must be lower than the average room temperature I swear.. God!!


So you didn't get the message he was trying to pass by making reference to Calerence Peters.

Your lack of education is very obvious. But, I will let it pass.

Now, tell me, what message was he trying to pass by saying Clarence would do a better job judging by the sort of videos he makes?

back to the tekno song Plenty greedy men oh plenty greedy men oh.. my country people

i wanted to spy the match but 1 mind say maintain. No add nija wahala join the one you get LOL

[quote author=Rednaxelot post=84000468]The commentator even goofed by calling Alex Iwobi an Arsenal player.

NTA Commentator:

“Arsenal Striker, Alex Iwobi”

“Super Eagles 2 : 1 Nigeria”[/quote

You saying this guy is not qualified even me way no dey watch ball for a long time knw say this guy have change club

he sounds like an NTA staff doing damage control.

I expect by tomorrow somebody should raise this national disgrace issue in the floor of the house or the senate.

NTA has always been a disgrace. It did not just start today,it has always been like that since time immemorial.

realestniggah:
Lmao shame.. 2019 and this is what we have to deal with.

I watched kaizer chief vs Orlando pirate last week on SABC 1 ( south African state own network) and it was just as good as DSTV,No difference with excellent commentary.

Let us keep decieving ourselves with giant of Africa.

Nigerians are in an economical mess but yet we pretend nothing is wrong.

That's what happens when you have an analog head honcho in Abj and a parochial liar as one overseeing proceedings in that ministry. .

Mulatta:
NTA needs restructuring

. I don't think any administration since Obasanjo era hasn't pumped in as less than billions of naira to that TV station, yet see the outcome in 2019

This country is gone to the dogs, what you see on NTA is a true twinning reflection of Nigeria current predicament from decays over the years.

We are not giant of anything... Let's wake up to reality. In order to grow, you must first swallow your pride to admit one needs help.

In Africa, SAFL (south Africa football league) is the best. The turnouts every matches and HD quality of matches on TV is top notch (EPL standards). When I watch their highlight show on Blitz channel I am always stunned.

Nigeria has lost it... Our Leaders have failed and disgraced us internationally because the world is watching and reading of us.

Imagine the presidency and security repeatedly disobeying court orders even when bail conditions have being met, what then is the hope of a poor man who can't afford a lawyer and has being jailed illegally?

... What a shameful country, very soon a bill will be passed to jail or is it kill persons who speak against the government (they called it hate speech, PS: this will be the first out of Africa or anywhere in the world).

The next thing is to take internet away from the people. What did Nigerians do to deserve this.?...

Has God forsaken us?

The commentators were just calling all the players rock solid. There was no ingenuity with words at all the video quality was horrendous.
