I thought you said universities

no, it is truly annoying and i believe its just a waste of time....

[b]In my house we use the older model DSTV decoder, and so therefore it scans (dunno what it is scanning for). This scanning takes approximately six (6) minutes and it is so annoying, other satellite network do not go through this stage, so it leads me to this very simple question: "What is the purpose of the DSTV scanning?"

I vividly remember when this "scanning" began, I was still a secondary school student, at first we kept trying to cancel it by pressing the menu button, because a message below stated "Press MENU To Cancel Scanning" but all to no positive result. we decided then to give the scanning a chance to playout and scan to the end ( ...of 9, at that time), lo and behold after scanning it showed. We thought this development was temporary but we were wrong, not only has it been temporary but also the length of scanning have increased (...of 25, presently). DSTV did not contact us or even make attempts to educate us on this "scanning".

That is why after more than 6 years with this I am still asking basic questions like:

1. What is the purpose of DSTV decoder scanning?

2. Why is the length increasing rapidly?

3. DO DSTV South Africa decoders carry out this scanning process? if not, why not? E.T.C.

This old but new development is just an epitome of mass anxiety especially to world cup watchers like me. I missed the first two goals by messi and musa in the super eagles last group match, cause I hard to switch from generator to NEPA after electricity was brought back on. It was really painful because a replay can never come close to the actual build up adrenaline rush in anticipation of a might-be goal.

That is why I urge us, nairalanders, DSTV subscribers and possibly DSTV technicians/engineers to talk about this. Your views would be highly welcomed and appreciated

Im takin a good 5 minutes to relax calm down and write this post without getin 2 pumped up. Breathe! Breathe! Breathe! Ok…. So I watched this video after it was shared by Kemi Adetiba on her instagram page, and justlike her I was very moved to say something about it

Let me start off by saying that a good amount of what Kola Olaoesibikan (surprised she keeps her Nigerian name) said in her video is true. It might be exaggerated, but none the less, as a Nigerian, as painful as it is to hear, it’s the truth. Exagerrated, but true. A lot of times we sit and listen to western mediathrow out a lot of negative and biased statistics about Nigeria & Africa, and it hurts, very deeply a times but I must say it hurts even more when it comes from one of our own who, based on the video, you get the feeling actually lived in Nigeria for a decent amount of time.
Now I have no problem with maybe the intent of the video, or calling to light issues that we all know happen in Nigeria, but the execution and method of doing this comes off as nothing but very insulting to Nigerians, and I’m tempted to say, sadly ignorant.
When she say says, a country that allowschild marriage, did she bother to think of the reaction millions on Nigerians had when they heard of that loop hole in the law? Did she even bother to think why this even came to light? Does she even know that numerous senators andhouse of reps have tried on one more than one occasion to close this loop hole that allows such? That there were thousands of citizens that took to the streets to protest this law? Are those senators that proposed the motion to close this loop hole not doing the right thing? Are those citizens that took to the streets not fighting for a better country for their kids and future generations? Are the numerous journalists and bloggers that expose and spread such news not doing their part in trying to spread information to enlighten Nigerians on what’s going on? Statements like that are a slap in theface to every Nigerian that is, out of love,doing their part to make Nigeria better even they don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
On the subject of NYSC, it’s easy to say the best “years” because it sounds nice to exaggerate something negative, but as much as I don’t like the NYSC program, I have to call out that first off it’s one year and not ‘years’, so it’s not wasting ‘the best years’. Does Kola even know why the NYSC came about in the first place? As flawed and needless as it may be now, the NYSC idea was a noble idea immediately after the civil war to integrate Nigerians and enable the young graduates to learn about other parts of our extremely diverse country, that they might not have been able or willing to do under normal circumstances. An attempt to curb the tribalism that fueled the civil war.
Does Kola (let’s assume that’s her name) know about the steady growth of the Nigerian economy, the dozens of international companies flocking to Nigeria to invest in various start ups andsmall time businesses, which subsequently can only lead to more jobsand opportunities for Nigerians? Does Kola know of the hundreds of positive Nigerians that do so much for Nigeria, even if they are not compensated properly, just because of the belief they have in the future? The music and movieindustry booming at an all time high, and creating so many opportunities for the youth to stay off the streets? The social activism via social media that has captured a lot of the youth of Nigeria?
Does Kola know about thousands of security agents who have lost their lives fighting terrorism across the country, and as ill equipped as they may be, they still put their life on the line daily to protect what they can in those area. Are they stupid for trying? Should they run to the US and sip fake Starbucks on youtube?
Does Kola know of the thousands of young Nigerians who were extremely active in the last election? Getting involved in voter registration, education, and other thingsjust so they can attempt to make the election as free and fair as possible. Organizing debates to discuss issues surrounding the country, raising awareness about the voting process, documenting, recording and reporting cases of voter fraud over the country. Are they stupid for loving their country enough to try? Or are they part of the brained damaged who just don’t know any better?
If I didn’t know better, I’d think everyone in Nigeria is dead, dying, forced to do NYSC for 5 years, married at12, and quarter to being a criminal.
To Kola Olasebikan, there’s nothing wrong if you never want to go to Nigeria again or you’re happy you left Nigeria. All na personal choice, but believe me 150 million minus 1 wont stop the struggle, and the fight for a better Nigeria. Enjoy your starbucks. Peace.

Many nigerians have seen the value of android and iphone smartphones in multi-tasking and performing other essential activities, and thats the reason a large number of blackberry users have jumped ship to the android and apple world(mostly android), most of these activities carried out using these smartphones, require internet connectivity, which exhausts the normal phone data bundle or even the BIS bundle, way to fast, even faster than a blackberry phone. I personally think nigerian service providers(MTN, airtel ETC...) should find a way for smartphone users to get better bundles which would be sufficient for carrying out activities on their smartphones. Maybe increasing data caps or creating a new kind of subscription for android, apple and even windows mobile users. The big question here is: would it be possible? What do you guys think? Please drop your comments, they would be highly appreciated
