₦airaland Forum

ROSSIKE: My friend stop talking jazz. If it was Jamaica or Kenya that won a medal BBC would have no problem airing all aspects of the ceremony. Those of us who have watched them for years KNOW there is a definite anti-Nigerian bias there. This is obviously due to Nigeria's status as the black world's biggest and leading nation. Why should we not mention it? If you have nothing to say I suggest you shut it.

oloriooko: Who got the tv rights to the games?
Who do you pay to if you want to view the game?
I paid to dstv in order to view the games while they in turn pay to whoever.
So if I did not get value for my money, I should keep mute?
Seem you have succumbed to these racists called Brits but we shall condemn the horrible display of your master while we work towards building ourselves strong enough to get our tv rights in the future.
BBC is a leading propagator of racism around the world, take it or leave it >

dabossman: You obviously don't know much about broadcast rights for events such as this. It is not as simple as buying "your own TV". What if your neighbour has been given exclusive rights to be the only one who owns a TV in the entire locality and you can only watch TV by going to his house?

That said, the OP is a Nigerian based in the UK and the BBC hold the right for domestic broadcast of the Games, so where else do you expect him/her to catch what BBC denied him/her of viewing. The UK is home to many nationalities and those people pay for TV license. They deserve better service.

The Nigerian Television Authority - also known as NTA - was inaugurated in 1977 and is the government-owned body in charge of television broadcasting in the country.[1] The NTA claims to run the biggest television network in Africa with stations in several parts of Nigeria. Formerly known as Nigerian Television (NTV), the network began with a take... ... A number of NTA programmes can be viewed online via Africast as well as TelAfric Television (US & Canada). NTA News bulletins are frequently aired on Africa Independent Television, and BEN Television in the United Kingdom. The station was made available through Sky in the UK on channel 202, but in early March 2010, they refused to make their channel pay-per-view on Sky .

andromida: But on a serious note all you guys saying she must have offended her hubby, so because you and your wife have a spat in the house you will ignore her on her birthday and sulk from Am to Pm even after she has apologised.?

Na wa o.

QuiverBox: #kapish

fr3do: Hold it.
This is between country and country, who said anything about race.
If you tell me you havent noticed the negative bias of the british media towards Nigeria then its either you hate your country or you are not observant.
Besides if the bbc gon gon doesn't air the Commonwealth games properly, then the CG isnt worthy of international participation and media.

davidsmith8900: Nairaland is a startup company, and it is slacking like this? When competitors are coming left and right, and Nairaland is stagnate like a water in a pond?

davidsmith8900: Upgrade it to a startup company.

davidsmith8900: Personally, I think it's good business. I mean think about. This is a forum that gets million hits per day. Like what else do you need. It just needs to be upgraded.

davidsmith8900: So if I may ask, what is the difference between Reddit and Nairaland? To me it seems only the customers and the user interface? Or what do you think?

toshodei: Look at Reddit, Premise 1=>Reddit is a forum that has a billion startup valuation with all the users. Premise 2=>NL is like Nigeria's Reddit. Conclusion=>Another billion dollar startup company.

Zammydagreat: I remember what those white men(pigs) did to us from slavery and all....dem never see anything

Dlastofmykind: I fetched all those levels frm d db using mysql_fetch_array function, using a while loop.
Then, I declared a variable for an empty array using array() function.
then I push each Levels insyd dt empty array using array_push and finally i declared another variable called $array_unique and I used array_unique to remove all duplicate levels.
but when I print dt $array_unique.....
It displayed array_unique expects parameter 1 to be array, string given on line 259.
Line 259 is where array_unique was used.

Please what do u think d problem is and whats d likely solution?

THANKS!
