TV/Movies › Re: NANS Gives Multi-choice Company Seven Days To Begin Pay-as-you-view Billing Or.. by COMPAQ(m): 3:14pm On Apr 26, 2023

MISTAICEY02288:
Good! It’s high time those useless people get taught a lesson. The useless Reps have failed to call Multichoice to order with the way they keep milking Nigerians of their hard earned money and that’s because they’ve been bribed to shut their mouths. I even heard most of them have shares with Multichoice and that’s why they don’t care as long as money keeps coming to their Accounts. Normally, a country should have more companies like Multichoice who will provide proper competition to them in the market but the useless people have decided to make Only Multichoice have ultimate Power in Nigeria. That’s why we don’t have other Cable TV companies who will be showing top leagues live matches like DSTV do. Even the TSTV we had hopes on to tackle Multichoice, they’ve been rendered powerless and useless already.

Imagine paying insane amounts for Gotv and DSTV which one wouldn’t even have time to enjoy because of work and the few hours to watch on weekends and after work on weekdays sef, PHCN will still take off Power too. Then after a month, these clowns will suspend the subscription. And I heard this Pay Per View option is available in South Africa their Base and some other African countries ooo. But they don’t wanna provide it here in Nigeria. Bunch of thieves…

Why not provide the link the the DSTV country site where said pay as you go billing exists?? You probably cant because it doesn't exist.

I have personally googles for DSTV SA and like 5 other countries in Eastern and Southern Africa and there is no such thing

If you see what just N200m will get you in South Africa. Far better contemporary design and more importantly lovely outdoor space with garden and greenery.

Not this sterile property!! But then again Nigerians don't value grass and natural light. It's like properties in Nigeria are increasingly making windows smaller instead of bigger.

Dubai population is less than 3.5million, Lagos population increased exponentially to almost 18million, thanks to people trooping in.

Dubai selling more than 5 times the oil Nigeria is selling and it only had to cater for 3.5 million people.

Lagos is catering for over 18 million people with less than 10% of what Dubai annually.

Make una dey think na

They also don't realize the massive money Dubai makes from tourism! Not to mention the private equity it attracts.

We don't have money!! It's important we reset our mind. The budget of Texas, US is like 10 times bigger than the budget of the Federal Government of Nigeria. There are municipalities (like LG)bin US that have bigger budgets than Lagos State.

And another factor is that a lot of what you see is built by the private sector. It's not government that builds all these skyscrapers ,but private companies and money to lease out to companies.

Apple alone is richer than FG, 36 states and 774 (or however many) LG in Nigeria combined.

Apple alone is more capitalized than all companies on the Nigerian Stock exchange combined.

It's important to put how far back we are into context, before we start hoping for Nigeria to be like these countries . We can be much better than where we are if we were to root out mind boggling corruption, incompetence etc, but still

I am currently a student in one of the best federal University in Nigeria. My current cgpa is 4.63 and I got it without any form of malpractice aka expo. I achieved it with hardwork and dedication. I am not boasting in any way but I am trying to build the confidence of average students that they can get an excellent result without engaging in any form of malpractice or looking for short cut to pass. What they need to do is to work very hard and be fully dedicated to their studies. And lastly, school is not a scam because lots of great men have benefited from it. Great men like Peter obi, chukwuma soludo, wole soyinka, yemi osinbajo.

They should knock down the stadium and sell the land to property developers.

We have no need of 2 national stadiums managed by the federal government. Let's keep Abuja as our national stadium.

There should be no sentiment involved. Likelihood of Nigeria having a League that's buoyant enough to properly make use of that edifice in the next 10years is almost zero.

As at today that stadium is resulting in negative cashflow to the FG. And with our current economic malaise, we should be keeping assets thats resulting in negative cash flow.

Subsidy removal on Diesel has made Diesel worst and made production very very high leading to inflation. Kerosene too has been removed and nobody even buys kerosene again sef due to the price. Yet you can't fix refinery to work na to push it to the people.

The money they were wasting on the trains and stuffs shey they can't use it to fix power and our refinery.

Just brace up, una go see shege. Buhari kuku knows what is at stake that is why he pushed it to the next administration.

Rapmoney:
In an article published on March, 30 2023 by eurostat, an official website of the European Union, the average hourly costs of labour in EU (European Union) countries in 2022 were reviewed. Bulgaria, with the lowest cost of labour per hour stood at 8 euros while Luxembourg with the highest stood at 51 euros.

Let's use the lowest European paying country for this analysis which is Bulgaria. If you work 40 hours per week in Bulagaria, (which shouldn't be lesser as a healthy person without disabilities) that is:

8 euros x 40 hours = NGN163,598 (8 euros = NGN4, 089.95)

Multiply that 40 hours by 4 which is four weeks in a month, that should be:

NGN163,598 x 4 = NGN654,392

This means that a Nigerian working in the poorest country among the EU countries can boast of a salary over 500k in a month converted to Nigerian Naira. Should we still make analysis on the highest EU paying country, Luxembourg? With this here, I don't think that will be necessary.

It is really a loss of human dignity to offer labour that will not change your living standard.

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/products-eurostat-news/w/DDN-20230330-3

This analysis of income it's not complete without associated cost. Compare petrol price alone and rent and you'll likely see Nigeria's Cost of living is less.

A wedding reception came to an abrupt end today, April 8, when fire broke out at the venue.

The wedding reception was underway at Yard 158, an event center in Oregun, Lagos, when things went out of hand.

It was time for the toast and the event organisers lit firecrackers but the fire spread to the decorations draped across the hall.

Guests tried to put off the fire but it spread quickly.

Thankfully, no one was hurt in the fire.

I hope they have insurance! Being a Nigerian outfit , I doubt it. We never think it's important until shit hits the fan!
