A state broadcaster took an illegal acceptance speech and NBC hasn’t fined them or petitioned them?

sonature1:
NTA is a poor state-run propaganda TV station.

Among the paywalled TV channels in the country, their picture quality remains one of the worst, after Lai Mohammed has used the station to embezzle $500 million. It makes you wonder if those guys ever watch CNN.

So, if NBC fines them, who will pay the money?

That network is reflection of everything wrong with Nigeria.

Lastly, when you consider the quality of journalists NTA attracts, you understand why fining them is a complete waste of time.

DeLaRue:

Is there a blanket ban on broadcasting anything illegal. I assume the answer is no. Example - footage of ongoing armed robbery and other illegalities have been broadcast over the years. The question is whether it is in the public interest for such material to be broadcast.

Each case will have to be treated on its own merit. It is up to the NBC to decide whether there has been a breach by NTA.

Also, this issue has only occurred in the past couple of days. NBC may well be considering the matter already.

Mr Oseni's rush to draw what seems like a false equivalence with Channel's infraction is another laughable attempt at cheap publicity.

INEC declare person, NTA broadcast the acceptance speech of the person.
INEC later said the election is inconclusive.

Abeg wetin be NTA error for this matter?

This Oseni is a compound fool , he just talk to be noticed when someone was declared by Inec and she hold a conference to give her acceptance speech how is that a problem .You want to justify ilegalities that was done by Datti Ahmed on CHANNELS TV with this one. A press conference is different from an organized interview.
Furthermore , Datti Ahmed has no right to tell the judiciary not to swear in a president elect of a country, and further saying if they try to swear him in that is the end of democracy in Nigeria. That is teasonable. Our constitution states that a president elect must be sworn in 29th may the handover date. It is in the constitution.
The constitution also stated that whoever that is aggrieved can seek redress in the courts of law.
Now look at this scenario , a vice president elect Shettima now come on national television to say the court should not sit on any presidential election matter, that the opposition should not be listened to by the judges because they want to steal their mandate too, and any attempt to listen to them , democracy will come to an end..
If something like that happened too what will the supporters of Datti Amhed will say .
It's in Nigeria constitution, you cant stop inauguration and you cant stop people from going to court to challenge what they believe is wrong.
The word DEMOCRACY WILL END IN NIGERIA if the country performs its constitutional rights is a no no .

Globad:


When did he embezzle $500m?

Christistruth03:
The Channel did nothing Wrong

Because it also carried the story of INEC disowning the announcement immediately afterwards

The Channel was reporting News events

It was not being used as a platform to incite Insurrection and Chaos as Datti did on Arise TV

Throwback:
Oseni take his partisanship to a new low.

Did the acceptance speech come out of thin air?

Was it not premised on the declaration that she won, for which INEC later cancelled?

Or was the acceptance speech after the annulment of the declaration?

Oseni is obviously a dull one who only found a job as journalist without training?
