sheweezy: We usually don't have light during the day and when the gen is on by 7pm, dad holds the remote and we start with local news by 7pm, ait news by 8pm, nta news by 9pm, channels news by 10pm and gen is off by 11pm. So annoying only dad watches, mum has given up and plays scrabble on her laptop while I read novel and ping in my room.

luluosas: We have a democratic system of remote control in my house because, no one lays/claims superiority over the other but, my children are the real users at times. They will just hold the remote control waiting for the programme we are watching to end and quickly switch it to Kidsco or JimJam.
At times when we shout them down, they ends up crying accusing us of not allowing them to watch their own when we were done with ours, especially the senior boy, who is 5 years plus now.

dabrake: I rep #teamArsenal for eternity. don't get me wrong brother but the abuses are just too funny

HQ: Works for only Samsung TVs only, and must be Wifi enabled.

And it must be "setup" first, so the bolded is completely false.

Aggrippa: ok bro i remember "i dont give a damn" by GEJ ,people no like to hear those five words, no wonder see how people dey fly commot from this thread!

LCDD: what an interesting thread, but there is a solution. with just one dstv a/c and more tvs in d house u get to watch ur favourites channels at d same time. they charge extra #1,800 monthly in addition to ur chosen bouquet. u dont need another dish but more remote controls and decorders depending on d number of tvs u have.

killuminati: Gej no give us light and our generator don spoil even if e good fuel nor dey or e too cost all jondull's fault.

*fuckthread*

Aggrippa: abeg o me no b GEJ pikin o! , wetin carry politics come here ? guy make you relax jare!

osifred: Get yourself a samsung galaxy note 10.1 that has an inbuilt remote control for all types of tv so you can be the commander in chief of the television irrespective of who is holding the follow come remote.

When I go to public places and I don't like the station displaying I use my galaxy note to either change the channel or better still switch it off without anybody knowing.

Aggrippa: i think i am the one who`s in charge no one watches TV like me i can go on watching NEWS, esp interviews, educative / informative programs for as long as possible ...i dont really give a damn.. lollll

chess guru: Dude take ur frustration else where. NL knows how 2 make ppl relax and laff a bit. Stop being such a killer joy its not always about politics and the price of GARR*

dabrake: It depends on the oldest person around. For my mum, she watches what she sees but once 9pm reaches she will just tell us to tune to nta news. The good part is that before 9:05(always), she will be snoring so her own don end be that. If my elder sister is around, she will watch whatever she wants and I will just give her that respect. She loves mtv, channelO, trace, sound city, all those kardashaian and the rest of those who wants people know what goes around their homes channels and she drops the remote only when she's tired. I come next, I am the business, science & tech, crime and sport kind of person, my immediate younger sister frequents uniCh, cartoon, E!, style and all those fashion channels, my baby sister is purely african magic while my baby bro is a cartoon, super sport(football in particular), blockbuster movies, science and tech dude. Once, I'm with the remote, I try my possible best to ensure fairness. Everyone will watch his/her favourite channels so they all learnt to deal with it or open their books. Now, we all watch each other's favourite channels. On matchdays, I prefer viewing games in a public gathering. I enjoy hearing chelsea fans abuse torres and benitez. I also enjoy hearing arsenal fans abuse gervinho, ramsey and wenger.

ogbenichoky: Very funny post I must confess... One day, I was engrossed in a talk show on one of those channels that apparently was boring to ma mum and kid sisters, and since no body could blink an eye when the REMOTE WAS IN MA GRIP, they decided to get at me by gisting in a loud tone which was distacting to me. At dat point, I decided to carry out a lil experiment. I fliped the channel to afria magic nd I was amazed at the sudden serenity and tranquility that ensued as their attention was turned to the movie showing on AM... Wots wit women and AM channel sef Very funny post I must confess...

Ramcie: My mum holds the remote like its her last baby. It can be so frustrating a times cos she shuffles between NTA, AIT, Channels and Silverbird for almost 24hrs. When I complain she would say, as far as am in her house, I should be patient with her and that when I get my own home then I can talk and she would listen the annoying part is that, she would be sleeping o! If u attempt to remove the remote from her hands the women go just wake and grab her remote

She claims I watch only NatGeoWild and that she prefers seeing people to animals . Na my fault say I like documentaries

iyatrustee: I try to but no be every match be football jor! My hubby watches any and everytin from Bundesliga to La liga and i cant stand it.

trekkie: why has the moderator not hidden that post on changing waec result?see how people deceive themselves if you like change the result to A1 all through it does not change the F9 brain inside the skull.

btw remote control is autocratic depends on who got to the tv first

ifihearam: Nice topic: evn people with black and white tv dey contribute too hmmm. Na wa oo abi black and white don get remote ni?

fankasibe: My dad holds the remote control while I hold the T.V to myself.
O.P now tell me who d boss is.

jeezybuck: Funny thread you got here but it happens in every home. My younger sisters call the shots. We have series of channels but all we get to watch is E!. They have made it a permanent station. They dont let us watch TV

zangiff: interesting, i cant even answer this question

aare07: Useless thread.
And a particular Newspaper Financed by Seun, that Nairaland would be TECH TO WATCH

iyatrustee: Exactly what i face in my house especially on dose yeye matchdays!

omiobo: What is the essence of holding remote when where there's stable power failure? The only thing that is stable in Nigeria is darkness .

Chiemeka orizu: We practise an oligarchy system of remote control in our caban

Area_boy: Take your time and read your post again.. Without prejudice this time..

This is the argument against your god and here you come using it in his defense. See why Wiegraf is bashing you about? Your incoherent construction rats you out easily.

lagerwhenindoubt: @OP I have absolutely no problems with your views, it is your ACTIONS I am wary of. Nobody knows everything but to claim with absolute certainty FAITH(Believing in something you know ain't true..) that can truly upturn otherwise good behavior into divisive, hateful, bigoted and violent behavior as noted on this thread

wiegraf: Stoopid, you can't disprove what's not been proven.

Arrogance doesn't indicate close-mindedness you t.wat. Immaturity and other things? Maybe.

You call me arrogant when you opened this thread calling me a fool? Then again, sheeple are meant to be stoopid so you remain easy to manipulate

ZIM DRILL: ask anyone is europe

billion_man: I learnt driving with an auto tranny and I didn't have any difficulty riding a manual cos b4 I took up a manual I've done done theoretical work on how to drive a manual tranny and watch drivers whenever I sit close to a driver. Now I drive both auto and manual randomly. The truth is that you exert more pressure with the manual especially in traffic. And with the auto, it's like you are too relax while driving and it feels like you are not involved in the control of somethings (guess you know what I mean) like manipulating the gear system to your taste.

Manual cars are not phasing out please. As you rightly said, fish or meat, let everyone enjoy the one he likes most and not despise the other.

ZIM DRILL: dont lie to people most car in europe are manuals

its the opposite when you learn to drive with automatic you wont be able to drive a manual but learn to drive with a manual its easy to drive auto the only adjustment is on applying the brakes
