I blame Chris Ngige for all this. I mean if as the ministry of labour had at least set up a garri processing facility, someone like this jobless fellow would have been too busy being productive instead of posting this gibberish that doesn't even qualify as a conspiracy theory.smh

Any proof those are Officers of the Nigerian Army? Any proof that is Kanu's residence? I thought there was a gate at his residence which the Nigerian Army allegedly shot at to gain entrance in the building when it was raided during the python dance operation. Where is the gate now?

For all we care, it could be the video of a colonel or major in the army evacuating his old woman's property from her old house in ibadan to a more cosmopolitan area.( At least some set of people claim it is only Ibadan that has brown roof and am seeing one brown roof in the video)

I don't want to believe anybody in Government said this. The government that could barely finance it's day-to-day running without the CBN/ the corporation in charge of minting printing money illegally will now say they want to pay corpers a purported stipend dating as far back as 16 years?

I want to believe this is a joke to mark the independence celebration.

Pls House, How do i get to the venue from Agege
From Pen cinema join a bus going to yaba. You can either drop at Anthony or Obanikoro. The building is by the road side. If you drop at Anthony you will trek forward a little, but if you drop at Obanikoro you need to trek backwards.


Actually there used to be a bus stop there called town planning, but with the advent of LASTMA, most vehicles don't stop there except you are lucky.

4. NETWORK; Building your personal network is a reliable path to a great job at any stage of life. Connect with everyone you know–and in turn with everyone they know–through social media, community and professional events, setting up lunch or coffee dates to stay in touch, any way you can find.


Nice piece. I've always said it that relationship building and networking is one of the most potent weapons needed to fight the unemployment battle. Let me just buttress your point with my personal experience

I remembered while I returned from NYSC and was busy distributing Cv's and going for one or two interviews. Met an old varsity mate I only know facially while on campus. We just shook hands as guys and exchanged pleasantries even though we don't know each other's name. We just discussed the struggles on the street, saved each other's number and promise to always pass any job related info to each other.

While chatting him two weeks after that day, he told of a company that I have once sent CV to online yet no response, this is a company operating within my field of study. He said they are taking in fresh graduates currently and it was a church member who informed them at their youth wing and gave them on HR person's personal email. No adverts were made either online or on national dailies. Immediately my ears stood, I collected the mail address sent my CV and also informed my other friend we partnered together in the struggle.

Fast forward myself and the other friend passed the test and made it to interview stage while our guy who gave us the link didn't make the cut(Tho He moved on with the struggle) In fact, my other friend works in that company presently. I also got the job but had already gotten another one before they concluded their own recruitment process.

The moral here; Move out of your shell/comfort zone, don't close your mouth, don't be an introvert when searching for jobs and keep applying even when you have gotten to stage 10 of a recruitment process.

Pls don't make m laff! You are sounding u know it all but you don't even understand what I said you a just talking.

You held on to what I said on HITV based on reports which u claimed to be wrong. I don't mind if it's wrong but that doesn't mak my point invalid. U are just being too know here.

Whether it's by politics or whatever means, what I said is hope TSTV won't end up like HITV that won't survive for long.

For every 10 business created, 4 dies in the first 3 yrs and a further 5 dies at the end of 5 yrs and only two make it.

I pray TSTV does well but my point is clear. Operating for 3 yrs sef does n guarantee their future, after all HITV worked for a few years and died for whatever reason, so I'm saying for whatever reason hope they won't end like HITV. My point I simple and clear because many reasons can make a business fold. So don't take advantage of the HITV story u claim to know too well my points still stands.

I hope TSTV will not end up the HITV way. We have seen several stations leave dstv and Euro sport is among them and One gospel too. I'm just saying becos it takes a lot to get to dstv level which they built over time. If you rush and you get great growth. Will u b able to sustain the growth? So I hope they don't end like HITV because it's beyond just having stations.
Ok

I don't even know what you are trying to say. I will pass becos I talked from a neutral point of view but obviously you are a TSTV fan boy already and called dstv much glorified which makes me feel your preference for TSTV once they come live. Let's say I got the HITV story wrong as you claimed but everything I said is true about the market. I thought you were going to tell me I was wrong about GOTV and star times. I will not go into arguments with you. If you claim dstv used politics against HITV, then hope they don't one way or the other kick out TSTV.

I only analyzed what goes on in the market and mind you whatever TSTV does, dstv will react. That's market strategy. Tell me I'm wrong and let's wait. I will retrace this thread even if it's next year.
Oga stop trying to be clever by half. Everything you said is true because? Because it is true abi?

I pointed it out to you that TSTV is coming to battle Dstv for their own market share like hitv did and nowhere did I make mention of gotv or startimes ish. So with all the stations you see TSTV is going to offer you think Gotv market share is their headache? So much for making Ur points from a neutral view point.

And yes, u got the whole hitv story all wrong.

I agree with you that Dstv will react which is the beauty of when a market loses its monopoly, and those to benefit from it will be the consumers who will have to make their choice. Dstv has been sitting on the high table for a long time and it's time for someone to make them shift grounds.

And don't quote me out of context, i said glorified Dstv stations that TSTV will definitely have substitute for. I was expecting u will understand this by meaning stations like telemundo and zee world most ladies crave will be catered for by TSTV. And that was why I said if the promoters of TSTV have studied the market well enough, they won't suffer the same fate as hitv.

Coca cola has the best strategist/ sales analyst around, yet they have been unable to kill off Pepsi and other 7up products in naija till date. Ponder on that

Crime › Re: Great James Oil And Gas Ltd Imported The 470 Guns Impounded At Tin Can Island by BlueRayDick: 7:41am On Sep 24, 2017
One thing I must say is we have an ineffective security service in Nigeria. The company responsible for the importation has been identified. In saner countries an arrest warrant would've been gotten by the police and the promoters of the company would be taken into custody and possibly transferred to the secret service for questioning. Let them explain how their cargo of elbow plastic suddenly transformed into rifles. Let them name names, whether they were fronting for a particular group or planning to sell on the black market. For crying out loud they are not registered as private military contractors.

However, our security service including military and paramilitary outfits are shiits and there is no inter-agency cooperation at at all. The information the customs should've passed to the secret service discreetly and let them do the intelligence and data gathering work is now left in the hands of a journalist who has even gone ahead to confirm the addresses of the promoters are genuine and they are probably still resident there without any fear.

Smh.

laribari:
I have said it before and will say it again. A big brand is a big brand ooo! Dstv is experience and knows the Nigerian market wella, besides they are a company with deep pocket. Have you wondered why HITV died? HItV hijacked the right for EPL in Nigeria for a season and left dstv by surprise but what did dstv do?

They endured that one year and only showed selected matches but not all big games. Guess what dstv did? Before that same season ended, they purchased the right for 5 yrs straights running from a fresh season becos of their deep pocket. They crippled HITV. It's not as if both of them can't show it at the same time, of cos if both does people will still buy HITV cos it's cheaper but what I think is that both are using the same source to air live games, so only one of them can sir it as a means of protecting their brand. If you must also show it, you will buy the right from them and they will only give you selected games. Not all games! They paid HITV in their own coin.

This was what buried HITV! So when star times came with their own 1,000 naira subscription, what did multichoice do? They launch a new product in GOTV that will play in that lower league to tackle star times becos obviously DSTV is premium brand and can't be selling at same price with star times. So all they needed to do was bring some Kool channels from DSTV to GOTV and pay less to watch it. So ordinarily, people still wanna watch epl (super sport select 1 &2), watch CNN, Africa magic (yoruba, igbo & hausa) etc. GOTV does not even have to sell at same rate with star time as they are slightly expensive, yet star times can't take GOTV out of the market. In a few years time star times may shut down if their profit isn't taking care of their expenses. This is trade!

So let's see their reaction to TSTV. As a sales manager in a multinational brand in Nigeria, I know they will react and that's to probably slightly reduce price of dstv subscription or introduce some new exciting features to their lower bouquets, make their dstv decorder cheaper or to do an upgrade GOTV in terms of channels to compete with TSTV. I'm sure GOTV will come with some Kool stuff to match TSTV cos that GOTV is their weapon to fight off competition when it comes to pricing. TSTV must be ready ooo!

To out class dstv in Nigeria will be hard. TSTV must find a way to rival super sports, Africa magic, CNN if they want to stay very long and also win the market share.

From the list of their proposed channels TSTV can compete but what features will their decorder give you? What is that new thing you can get from outside dstv? They must address that too.
Most of your assertions are wrong, most especially concerning the ones that pertains to hitv's unfortunate shutdown. Y'all still keep saying the same old story despite fresh revelations currently made by the sponsors of the defunct company. For crying out loud, the two companies Hitv and Dstv both entered the bid for exclusive rights to air live epl matches and at the point Hitv won it and had to source for fund to pay the fee required they hit a dead brick. There was obviously a well planned conspiracy against the company as all the banks didn't decline giving out facility but rather kept on promising, claiming they were busy with the recapitalization shiiii. Multichoice didn't get it because of their deep pocket but rather because of standard chartered bank (a fellow south African company) perfected a loan facility for them and they paid while hitv could not get any Nigerian bank to sort him out.

Surprisingly two days after Dstv got the right, hitv was called by the bank to come get the loan as everything has been perfected. We all know that's medicine after death. It was just a well planned conspiracy. Tho it's a business world where you either eat someone or get eaten. But y'all should stop making it look like Dstv has some badass strategist doing some miracle up there. It's just simple, they understand the level of corruption in Nigeria and they use it to their own maximum satisfaction.

As for outclassing Dstv, i don't know what you mean by that. Obviously on a majority level the selling point of Dstv is the epl matches they have exclusive rights to show. We all know supersports are exclusive to Dstv so you don't expect them to have supersport on TSTV too. However, bein sports will take care of that if what am seeing on their site is sacrosanct. And they also have other stations that will substitute most of the glorified Dstv stations.

If TSTV have actually taken their time to study the market well, then I don't see them going down the way of hitv. It will just be like the case of the telecommunications industry. Nobody will die for each other, it will be live and let live.
