So Elrufai Has Taken This Fight To Canada?
Somebody Cannor Criticize Buhari In Peace Again?

Oga Sit Down Already. Which Masses? Did The Masses Indict Lawal?

You're Always Everywhere Jumping To The Defense Of Buhari And Branding National Assembly Members Criminals. Who Isn't A Criminal, You?

Why Don't You Relax And Let The Court Hear The Case? That Amaechi's Lawyers Have Written Doesn't Mean The Allegations Are Untrue Or True.

Don't Kill Yourself Oga.

SillyMods:
Freedom of speech has indeed suffered in Nigeria.

If not, how could a sane man just wake up and start making malicious claims against someone without any shred of evidence, just because they lost out in the last election?

FFK, Fayose and Woke are thugs with no dignity. The same goes for their supporters who have demonstrated to have low IQ.

Where are those lowlives shouting that Amaechi should go to court?

Some people don't deserve any freedom of speech. They deserve to be fed to the dogs actually.

Fayose Is Enough For APC.

This Your Comment Sweet Me Ehn...Lol

Oga, This Sermon Is Too Long Na. Somebody Cannot Come To Nairaland And Have Peace Again?

It Doesn't Take Anything To Sit In An Abuja Office And Make Orders. And Ofcourse It's Not Even A New Order. It Is One We Are Used To, That's Never Been Followed.

Op, You're Too Bias For An Umpire.


You Ask A Question, Only To Attack Those Who Differ On Your Bias For Buhari.

I Disagree, We Must Find The Owner And Prosecute Him Or Her.

Not Enough To Recover.

seunmsg:
All these twist by PDP members who initially claimed the discovery was propaganda is just a silly attempt to rubbish the breakthrough recorded by EFCC in the war against corruption.

EFCC have obtained a temporary forfeiture order already and the court had also decided that the owner must come forward and claim the money within the next 14 days or forget the money forever. So, what's with all the speculations and attack on Ameachi?

Whether the money belongs to Ameachi, NIA, CBN, Muazu or Esther is no longer the point. The money now belongs to the federal government except someone can come out and claim ownership in the next 14 days. We should be celebrating this breakthrough and not misinforming the people.

So Elrufai Knew They Were Asking About His Security Votes (What's Given To Him) But He Decided To Publish What's Budgeted For Security Agencies Just To Mislead The Public. Truly This Country Is Built On Corruption And Is Sustained Through Corruption. No Nigerian Politician Ever Showed Any Sense Of Guilt, Yet Funds Are Said To Be Recovered Everyday From Politicians. Why Does A State Need To Buy Hilux Vehicles For Police That Enjoys Federal Budget, If Not To Line The Pockets Of A Few? Are We Running State Police In Nigerian??

Is The Army In Short Of Hilux? How About The Nations' Military Budget When The State Expends As Much As N300m On Cars For An Agency Of Government That's Sufficiently Covered In The National Budget? Just Curious, Is The Army Funded By States?

Yesterday I Created A Thread To Discuss An Issue That's Staring Nigerians In The Face, A Monster Issue. It Is Languishing Someone On Nairaland. How Irrelevant Issues Like This Greet Frontpage Is Beyond Me. Why Not Leave This Sort Of Tales To LindaIkejiBlog?

The Audacity Of These Guys Sha. They Make Video Of Attacks?

Nice Insight.

The Presence Of DSTV Has Rather Than Challenged Us Nigerians To Up The Ante And Compete With Them Fire For Fire, Made Us Lazy, Maybe Relaxed About Constructive Research On This Very Important Sector.

eshietIntrepid:
There's nothing we can not do without, and there's nothing we can't replaced

The present of Dstv killed Hitv, and is also blocking other major setelite from coming in.

On Saturday, 1st of April 2017, Nigerian DSTV users were hit with a shocking announcement revealing the increase in subscription charges of every DSTV package by five percent with effect from 1st May 2017.

This marks the fifth time DSTV is increasing its subscription fee in Nigeria since its inception in 2009. From the information made available, the price of DSTV Premium has increased by 55 percent from N9,000 which it charged in 2009 to N13,980 in 2017 while that of DSTV Access has increased by 26 percent since 2009.

In defending this price increase in such a time of economic hardship, DSTV Nigeria released a statement blaming the increase on inflation and Forex restriction. However, it is no news that Forex restriction has been the problem of almost every company in Nigeria that does business using foreign currency.

“We announced last year that we would do everything possible to hold the price barring any extreme factors. However, all our content is purchased in dollars and although we have done everything possible to hold the prices even with the price of everything else going up, we are now left with no choice but to adjust our subscription prices from 1 May,” DSTV said in a press statement.

Over the years, MultiChoice Africa Limited, which offers video entertainment services in Africa through its digital satellite television service, DSTV, has been under constant attack by Nigerians either over subscription fees or content, and this year is not an exception. Most Nigerians feel robbed by this pay TV and its activities in the country due to its monopoly on certain programmes such as the English Premiership League rights. Apart from the price increase, they are currently under attack on social media for trying to remove a renowned Gospel TV station, Kingdom Africa, a channel that offers family friendly content with a very high moral benefits while they have decided to leave the Big Brother Naija (BB9ja) channel, which some Nigerians claim has little or no moral benefits.

In 2016, the Premier League announced that it had closed a deal valid for the 2016/17 and 2018/19 seasons with Econet Media, owned by a Zimbabwean tycoon, Strive Masiyiwa. Ventures Africa questioned if this was the end of DSTV but over a year later DSTV seems to remain the king of the park in Africa.

Following this recent announcement on price increase, many Nigerians have been calling for the boycott of DSTV while others have decided that they are going to pack up their DSTV decoders and begin a search for other pay TV services currently running in the country. This brings the question of if Nigerians can really do without DSTV.

Can Nigerians do without DSTV?

While scanning through Twitter which has recently become an even more powerful uniting tool, I stumbled across a tweet which suggested that Nigerians can actually put away their cable networks and make use of unlimited internet data bundles to watch whatever station they wished to watch or must have missed.

But how true can this be in Nigeria looking at the fact that Internet access in the country is very expensive? It could become a reality in Nigeria if Internet Service Providers (ISPs) decide to drop the price of their unlimited data bundles in order to help cut cost for Nigerians. If this is possible, Nigerians would be able to save more; instead of spending so much on mobile data, all they have to do is pay for unlimited data bundles which they could also use on their phones, laptops and HDTVs. In this case, the subscriber will only pay for what he or she watches as opposed to paying for what they didn’t watch – something which has been one of the greatest concerns of Nigerians who call for pay as you use DSTV subscriptions.

This is also a call to the telecommunication companies in Nigeria to take advantage of the current situation as an opportunity to increase the number of Internet Service Providers that dropped in February this year. According to the latest data released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria’s telecommunications networks lost 1,275,573 Internet users in February.

Even if some Nigerians claim to have ditched cable TV for the internet, we need to consider that once you ditch cable, your Internet connection will become the basic source of your media consumption, this means that you’ll need a very reliable Internet connection. And finding reliable Internet Service Providers can be quite the challenge.

But just in case any Nigerian decides to try this option he or she should make sure that their ISP supports super-high-speed bandwidth necessary for streaming high-definition and super-high-definition video. This is because, in some cases, you might need to upgrade your subscription to get a high bandwidth.

Oga Why Are You Arguing Like This When You Can Be Better?

Is South Korea Nigeria? Do We Have The Same Constitution? How Are We Even Remotely Comparable With South Korea? So Dasuki Should Be Detained Indefinitely Without Any Recourse To What The Laws Of Nigeria Says?

bettercreature:
He said nothing! Dasuki doesn't deserve bail take South korea President as a good example
Our Judiciary are the most corrupt in the world
For the fact that she is a lady and a president did not stop the court from sending her on indefinite detention
Beside she wasnt really involved,It was people around her

That's Professionalism. Not Some Stvpid Calabar South Boys Knocking On People's Doors At Night, Snatching Phones And TVs, Effectively Bringing The Profession Disrepute.

My Brother, hmm. iConcur With You O.

Kiakia:
That is if it goes through. Remember that this is not the first time the issue of Pay As You Go for cable tv has been mentioned in this same House. It was not even debated before being discarded. So, do not get your hopes high yet until it materialises. Nigerian legislators have a way of frustrating Bills or Resolutions that will benefit majority of Nigerians once they are settled.

Do You Complain Of Bills When You've Not Been Supplied Electricity During The Billed Period? Do You Disconnect From Your DISCO When You Pay For Unused Electricity??

AZeD1:
How would this be a victory for Nigeria? Shouldn't people be able to run their businesses how they deem it fit? If you don't like DSTV, don't subscribe..
its not an essential service.
