Austine1213:
Yes he launched it

He brought the franchise to Africa and launched it.
Simple.

So tell your other SA friends on here DStv doesn't own MTV base.

Austine1213:
China is 1.5b
India is 1.3b
Indonesia is 270m
Brazil is 210m

Their retail is formal

Are you confusing me or you?

What do you mean by 'China is 1.5b' ?
1.5bn in revenue??
1.5bn retail stores??

Cos below is the number of retail stores in China.

Please be elaborate.

Austine1213:
Viacom is headquartered in south africa

Yh.
Cos as at 2005 SA was the only African country with the infrastructure to host such a company.

But what I'm trying to make y'all understand is that Viacom was brought to Africa by a NIGERIAN and not MULTICHOICE.

don't mix it up.

Austine1213:
It is based in a south african african broadcaster

The only thing I can believe here is multi choice owning a stake in MTV base South Africa.

Austine1213:
More than 30 now

It is a premium store there as it anchors malls and shopping centers there.

Choice is largest in nigeria, 200m people but most retail in naija isnot formal

Now Wikipedia links 31 different retail chains in Nigeria.
And that list is defo. Not complete cos there are some I know that are missing there.

The only reason why Nigeria's retail sector is still largely informal is because of our population.

Austine1213:
VCNI Africa includes the multimedia entertainment brands: MTV , MTV Base , VH1,
VH1 Classic , Comedy Central , Nickelodeon ,
Nicktoons , Nick Jr. and BET.

MTV Networks Africa offices are located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Previously, the networks offices were located at MTV Networks Europe headquarters in London, United Kingdom.

Okosi spearhead it to be, but Multichoice brought it

Bro.
I've tried to believe this.

But nothing online links Multichoice to MTV base.

Troy404:
So what you are saying is that your own companies play second fiddle to white SAns companies. My point is very clear, you lack moral authority to lecture black SAns.

Since when did competition turn to a 'second fiddle' role?

Enlighten me.

Austine1213:
Lol burnaboy is canceled period

Disrespect south africans you get canceled, apology for what he can keep it

Good for you guys.

rvp20182:
Fact-check failed on first try. Today, there are nine Justrite Mega Stores spread across Lagos and Ogun states, and we're still counting!

Just 9 justrite mega stores?

While Shoprite basically dominate your country formal retail.

Look at Kenya - even after Nakumatt demise - we have like 4-5 brand with 50 branches (Tuskys, Naivas,)

Our formal shopping is second only to South Africa.

Foreign-based supermarket chains

LMAO!
I see you brought the whole party.
So what you're saying is NIGERIA doesn't have retail stores like shoprite asides just rite?
CMON.... Read what you typed fam... Does it look sane?
Why would I have to bore you with a very long list?

So you believe shoprite with just over 20 stores would serve a country of 180m+?

Bro... Sorry to say.... But you're the CIRCUS itself.

Austine1213:
You śeem to be having sleepless nights over SA

Nigeria is not u united, has been struggling to coexist since the 60s independence

Nigeria isn't united.
It's general knowledge.
It was never an holy union.
Civility is the only thing holding the country together.
And the reasons aren't far fetched.

samorobo:
Lol austine is number 1 in this things....I have seen him make similar comments on twitter during the Burnaby vs A.k.a shiit..

Lol.
Burna boy is cancelled over there.
Maybe he's still waiting for an Apology.

samorobo:
Before nko.....they don't know the bolded

Lol.
People should learn to accept and move on.

Austine1213:
MTV was brought by Multichoice which is a south african company and it first broadcast in SA

Stop this.
MTV base is owned by Viacom... It is elementary knowledge...

Alex Okosi (a Nigerian. OBVIOUSLY) brought MTV base, nickelodeon and Comedy Central to AFRICA through Viacom... He runs Viacom Africa operations.

Bro... This is general knowledge TBH.

Troy404:
The funny thing is that all those brands above dominate their sectors in nigeria despite the fact they are from SA. So it means you are the biggest fools haha

Lol.
Minus pick 'n' pay, the rest are in Nigeria and are pretty big no doubt.... But you seem confused about my point.
All those companies co-exist with OUR own businesses.
Every single SA company has a big Nigerian rival fam.
Shoprite >> Justrite
Pep >> Ruff n tumble
Mtn >> Glo
Tiger >> the list on this one is endless.
Multichoice >> Play TV.
The only one with somewhat of a monopoly is Multichoice and this is In soccer airing rights.
And just last week the government moved to correct this.
So what are you still going on about bro?

obaaderemi:
Hmmm! Mandiba must be rolling in his grave. Imagine, sacrificing Everything for the prodigal kids. Why can't black south Africans start one company that would be big in South Africa? At least like dangote or Glomobile.

Don't get it wrong.
They might have black owned businesses doing big things but when you compare with the 'LandLords'....
Sheeesh.

obaaderemi:
They used to be many here asslicking Kenyans and displaying so much emptiness.

They'll come here with the illiteracy stats soon bruh.

obaaderemi:
This is disgraceful. Is it that the black south African can't achieve anything standing alone?

Maybe not.
It has to do with their mindset.
Everyone has the potential to be great... Really.
Just the 'landlords' down there aren't giving me them the opportunities.
And they've not developed the will to challenge the status quo.

theenchanter:
sha ma wo wón n tié.

Kó sí problemu òòò...

obaaderemi:
Black South Africans are like that.Very dull. Thank heavens for Nelson Mandela, the exception to the rule.

If we remind them of how illiterate their new generation is they'll try to fight dirty.

obaaderemi:
And next to nothing comes from the black South Africans themselves. They are similar to the black kenyans in many ways.

Almost every F'ing time!
You name it.
Mtn
Shoprite
Pick 'n' Pay
Pep
Multichoice
Tiger

Bro... The list is ENDLESSSSSSS.

obaaderemi:
And next to nothing comes from the black South Africans themselves. They are similar to the black kenyans in many ways.

Almost every F'ing time!

obaaderemi:
Next he would be telling us dstv brought MTV itself to Africa.

I'm convinced some of the SA'ns on here aren't sound.
WTF!

theenchanter:
abelekun sukun.

Ò mà pà ìró!

obaaderemi:
They can't believe MTV base is basically Nigerian and for Nigeria. In fact the first song played on MTV base was Tuface's African Queen. We have since moved on with the likes of SoundCity and HipHopTv which are even more popular in Nigeria now than MTV base.

One thing I really dislike about South Africans is the entitlement syndrome they have in most of them.... It's innate.
Where they feel every good thing from Africa HAS TO come from them.
If you had seen their comments during the cardi b frenzy Bruuuhhh....
So much negative energy.
Still waiting for their replies though.

Austine1213:
Lol

It was brought to Africa by South Africa

No it wasn't.
It was brought to Africa by a Nigerian.

IronGalaxy:
how is this possible when DStv is South African?

And one more thing.
HOW THE HELL DOES DSTV AND MTVBASE RELATE IN ANYWAY BESIDES BEING ON THEIR PLATFORM??!!!

JaceBlaze:
- Nigeria brought what to Africa?

- So Soundcity is the adversary of Channel O? how were they force feeding Africans SA music when SA music has always been on high demand throughout Africa since the 60's

- Channel O is a South African music channel so you must expect South African music there.Would one tune into Africa magic and expect SA movies to show there?

Thanks to SA's DStv that Soundcity even exists.

LMAO!
Don't come at me with so much heat fam.
Just stating facts.

Soundcity existed waaaay before they hopped on Dstv Bruhh.. And obviously you wouldn't see it as force feeding cos it's your music. .
Africa Magic wasn't even originally Nigerian.
Lastly, the bolded is extremely FUNNY!

IronGalaxy:
how is this possible when DStv is South African?

Lol.
Find out who brought MTV base to Africa fam.

[url][/url][img][/img]

obaaderemi:
Well, that's not a problem. Can you name me any music video TV station that is black owned in South Africa?

Lol... It's sooo funny.
MTV base was brought to Africa by NIGERIA.
Soundcity was a response to channel O that tried as hell to force feed Africans with SA music.
And it has been very successful at that.

TayserMahri:
Its big for him no doubt. But what has your transgender BlackBonez won? And where did he get the mojo to tackle the OG

Blaqbonez started trending mid 2019 bro.
He's known for his hilarious way if making trends.
He's not even near 'up there' yet.
The 'best rapper in Africa' term was the wave he rode on to gain popularity...and he still uses it.
Your 'kaligraphic OG' was plain dumb to reply a kiddo.
Simple.

Austine1213:
No not at all if you really knew SA hiphop you should know SA hiphop is different also depending where you are in SA, nasty c is not even SA best lyricist

Your front row rappers are obviously the popping acts in SA.
Ricky Rick - how do you guys not get tired of his songs though?

Aka - let me not even start bruh

Emtee - a Lil' fire but always the same vibe every time. Nothing new.

There also a white dude that should probably be living on the moon.

samorobo:
Yes you do cos those genre is controlled by white and that is what they like to hear cos it's like their culture....

The few black that maybe into it have been forced into doing it mentally to praise, worship,idolize, reverence the holy unholy name of whites..

I've tried to get acquainted with different SA music genres just to know how It is..
And there's a lot of White dominated genres down there.
That's the uncouth truth
