Which kind court order be that
Share my source of success with a competitor
No be JuJu be that
The court order is premised on an NBC code na. NBC released a code guiding broadcasting rights in Nigeria and from what I read the code actually aimed at eliminating monopoly in the PayTV section of the media. U know this age-long monopoly has got many Nigerian owned PayTV closed down in the past.

I believe NBC was indirectly telling DSTV to either learn to compete with Nigerian Owned PayTV stations or get the 4ck out!

What the law is saying is that they should sub-license; not that they should share it for free.

Don't u understand what DSTV is doing ni? It's just like saying only MTN Nigeria has 5G license and other networks cannot have same. Whta do u think will happen? Other network providers will die a natural death cos almost everybody will migrate to MTN and MTN can just charge any fee they like just like DSTV is doing.

I don't understand. How can you compel dstv to share their licenses with competitors? How does that work!? Abi I am missing something?

Can you compel Coca-Cola to share their formula with LA casera?
According to the court of appeal ruling , they were asked to sub-license some of their programmes to other PayTV's in line with NBC code of 2020.

I don't know what the NBC 2020 code says but I'm guessing the aim of the code is to ensure there is no unhealthy monopoly in the industry .

You know before now DSTV will get the EPL rights and everybody else will be bound to the philistines. That gives DSTV undue advantage over other competitors because they are the only one who can show EPL. now I'm guessing NBC wants a situation where EPL rights and cost for the rights is shared amongst as many interested players as possible .

So at the end of the day u can use other stations/programming like BBN , Africa Magic etc that are exclusive to u to now sell ur market instead of exclusivity of EPL .

If u look at this from the perspective of a patriotic Nigerian or a DSTV customer that has been pissed by them in the past , it makes sense ; but if u look at it from the view of DSTV owners or loyalist, u go dey vex for naija government .

If na the only thing Tinubu government fit do be this : Break DSTV's monopoly on PayTV particularly as it pertains to EPL , I will give them kudos .

Glo breaking MTN's monopoly made MTN come down to our level in pricing and service delivery eventually .
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 6:40am On Mar 08, 2024
Iamoyindamola another PayTV called SLTV has been launched .

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4OwpufA6et/?igsh=NzRqemZncTYzZWVh

I learnt they show all supersports channel and their maximum sub is 5k

I even learnt there's already an appeal court judgement that compels DSTV to share license of some of their programmes like EPL with SLTV

https://www.primebusiness.africa/court-orders-multichoice-dstv-to-share-programme-license-with-nigerian-cable-tv

I just hope they break DSTV's backbone eventually and give us an alternative to DSTV who hike the price of their packages every eke market day 😪

He’s a Buharist but he’s right with what he said…. You can’t blame past administration throughout your tenure.
How is he right? He is only trying to find a soft landing for his boss' administration ni.

They performed woefully and everybody knows it. If Tinubu and his people decide swear an oath of silence, the rot Buhar left behind will always stink and speak for itself .

For example Hadi Sirika deceived himself and those who were suffocating us with Nigeria Air news that time about Nigerian National carrier being ready for use. Today where is Nigeria Air ? U fit epp me book a seat on Nigeria Air I wan quickly reach Abuja go buy kilishi grin

Now even if Keyamo keep quiet as the new Aviation minister, shey e no dey obvious say Hadi Sirika na 419?

i raise you .

Mobil is the preferred engine oil

we did our research then and relised mobil has established trust with mechanics over decades. if we were going to get mechnics to buy into our oil , we would have to win their hearts and minds.

when you see downstream companies sponsoring mechanic training or mechanic vaillages, that is what it is about

in the 2000s when banks were flush with cash post 25b capitalization, a lot of weird promotion exercises were afoot

as an example, the banks hired a lot of advertising guys from FCMG industry

so we were seeing open account and win 1 million naira ads. it was weird and bizarre. banking is supposed to be a sober industry, but they now adopted FCMG style marketing tactics.

what works in one industry does not apply in another industry

like AP using tiwa savage in adverts. are you going to buy petrol from AP because of tiwa savage? or all those glo celebrity ads that nigerians themselevs mock, saying adenuga should spend his money on boosting the network

i hope you went straight to AP to fill your tank after seeing this. i am sure she sorted out your engine fatigue


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe1J2AWY0DU

i cant find the original. the original ad
Baba AP is an already established player in the game na. This rowe engine oil people are new in town and they need to put their product in our faces. Pete Edochie is like one of the few actors almost everyone can't claim they don't know who he is. The man has been acting since the time of our parents and he's still here now.

Those people know what they are doing using him. U may not patronize them because of him, but some other Nigerians will do. There are academic research that affirm the position that there is direct relationship between celebrity endorsing a company's product and improvement in such company's profitability.

GloriousGbola:
a lot of advertsing here may not work because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the target market

first of all, most nigerians do not service their cars. they hand them over to their mechanics to service
the wealthy rich ones - their drivers handle the servicing
so if you are really trying to advertise engine oil, that is your target market

i am a techie, and you can be sure i am not going to buy an ssd or ram for my laptop because ice cube is advertising it
in fact, if i see a celebrity advertising a product, my antennae go up because 90% of the time, they are endorsing a product they dont understand , which means it is more about money than actual conviction in the product

celebrity promotions can work - but yul edochie is definetely not going to convince me to engine oil for my car or fleet of generators
Baba advertisement is not something a company just wakes and pump money inside hoping it will work out. Advertisement actually involves a lot of research on the part of the marketing/corporate communications team.

They research the demographics of their target audience and figure out what they believe will appeal to them. Me and u are looking at things from the outside.

Look at it this way: They are coming into an already saturated market and they need to use a face that the people see as household name; someone that inspires confidence. The mere fact that we are discussing the brand ambassadorship right now shows their advertising strategy is almost a success. They got us talking about it even if we don't have any need for engine oil now.

Let's say I buy a generator or any equipment that requires engine oil, I might just decide to even try rowe engine oil out even if it is out of curiosity.

I knew it was a lie that's why I never joined the conversation in the first place. Buhari supported farmers alot with most of the beneficiaries in the North.
I've not seen that kind of delusion before.

Even when I was a kid I know FG usually does agricultural intervention for farmers and it only makes sense that most of those intervention goes to the north since they are the ones who farm the most in Nigeria. Imagine my amazement reading that FG does not do anything for the north.

Maybe if he had said the interventions are not enough or not much compared to what private organizations do I would not even be bothered. Even the private organizations, what they do is geared towards them making profit while assisting the farmers. At least I have a friend that works in one of those companies and I know their company promoters make money when the harvest season is over.

Dem never serious[/color]
U are missing the whole point. There are several research studies online that confirm that there is a direct relationship between use of celebrities in advertisements and improvement in company profits. U can just google it.

Pete Edochie is an odogwu of celebrity who the general public perceive as having integrity. The company signing him on the brand endorsement are hoping latch on this perception.

It's not that deep at all. The company is not a charity organization that will just dish out cash to Pete Edochie; they intend to profit from his brand.

[color=royalblue]How can a company that manufactures Engine oil, use Pete Edochie as its ambassador?

I don't understand.

Why not go on Social Media, pick 10 celebrity mechanics, and pay them half of that amount to promote your oil?

I have never seen any sense in signing celebrities, to promote products that they have no authority.[/color]

https://www.nairaland.com/8003562/pete-edochie-seals-multi-millions-naira
We believe the deal is for a lifetime considering Pete’s age and we believe in the entire Africa not only Nigeria even beyond the shores of Africa that he is the most reputable movie star at present and because of the impeccability of his character and integrity. It is a multimillion naira deal because we know his value and the value of the oil and we are glad we did the deal,
The answer u seek is in the above.

Using a celebrity mechanic will not drive home the point they are trying to make about their brand to the public. They needed a face almost every adult who has need for engine oil can relate with as regards integrity and longevity.

It is as simple as that.
