gmichael:
Hello, please I have a 3m dish. But I only need the German stations on 9e under "M7 Deutschland". Which of the M7 Deutschland TP is live or showing or trackable or within range? Initially, I was considering tracking Astra 19.2e with my 3m dish but an installer said we may only waste our time with fruitless effort that I need more bigger dish and a friend installer recommended M7 Deutschland on 9e that we should give a shot.

All I want is a TP for German Stations that is trackable for either Eutelsat 9e or Astra 19.2e. I have a 3m dish and my location is around toll-gate after Abule Egba.

Thanks for your anticipated help!

9e will be good for you if you're Deutschland lover like myself.

Try 11861 Horizontal, 11977H, 12015H

Nafizzey:
Please house which FTA Channel show German league?




Davodyguy

None for now, except the some feeds receivable on 260CM dishes upwards.

It's either I do Startimes or IPTV for now, save one other on 9e but not FTA

Opinion by David Hundeyin, Nigerian journalist, writes about its looming repercussions on the country’s reputation

Updated 1245 GMT (2045 HKT) August 29, 2019

David Hundeyin is a journalist and commentator who writes on tech, politics, and finance. He was a founding writer on the Nigerian political satire TV show 'The Other News' and was nominated last year for the US Department of State's Edward R. Murrow Program for journalists.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely his.

(CNN)The FBI's dramatic arrest and indictment of 80 mostly Nigerian cybercriminals in California last week made headlines globally. Closer to home, it has prompted concerns among Nigerians who are worried about the impact the busts will have on how the world views them and their country.

Previously, Nigerian criminality existed in the popular imagination somewhere between mildly serious and an internet joke.
Now, with the FBI's takedown of an intercontinental Nigerian criminal network responsible for millions of dollars in annual losses, some think that the country and its citizens risk facing an unprecedented international backlash.

A new era of travel restrictions?

Unsurprisingly, ease of travel is at the top of the list of concerns raised.
Nigeria is one of the world's most prolific exporters of skilled migrant labor with one of the world's least powerful passports, giving holders ready access to just 52 countries. Fresh visa restrictions are the last thing educated Nigerians need.

At 35%, Nigeria already has the world's highest UK visa refusal rate. It also ranks highly in US visa refusals with a 57% refusal rate.
After indefinitely suspending interview waivers for visa renewals earlier this year, the US Embassy in Nigeria no longer gives visa interview appointments according to local reports. The embassy's Public Affairs section has denied blocking interview appointments but has provided no further comment on the issue.

Many believe that the headlines and pictures showing the arrest of several hitherto shadowy Nigerian cybercriminals will significantly worsen the situation.

They fear that the indictment and prosecution of an organized Nigerian-American crime syndicate will give President Donald Trump scarcely-needed motivation to impose a Yemen-style US travel restriction on Nigerian citizens.

It will be recalled that shortly after taking office, Trump imposed total visa bans on seven countries in Africa and the Middle East including Yemen, Sudan, Syria, and Somalia. Some Nigerians who are American residents even fear becoming collateral damage within a new narrative of "Nigerian crime gangs."

This fear is driven in part by the experience of some innocent Hispanic teenagers who found themselves embroiled in deportation proceedings after being wrongly accused of being members of the fearsome international gang MS-13.

A sophisticated operation

Some also believe that the indictments present a risk that existing negative Nigerian stereotypes may now transcend education and income barriers.

The FBI has opened a wider window on Nigeria's internet crime problem to the world, depicting a sophisticated operation involving people with professional web development experience and organizational process knowledge.

These are not the crude "Nigerian Princes" of the popular imagination, sitting inside crowded Lagos cybercafes sending out poorly written emails. They are highly educated and well-traveled individuals, one of whom has appeared on a Forbes 30-Under-30 list.

When the implication of this sinks in, the rest of the world may well stop segmenting Nigerians and simply lose trust in them collectively.
Outside of Nigeria, the "Nigerian" identity risks becoming subsumed by the "criminal country" single narrative that once prevented Italian immigrants in the US from moving up the social ladder.

Unlike the early 20th century Italians, Nigerians have very little with which to counterbalance negative global narratives.

Italy was a global hub for art, tourism, history, religion, and food. Nigeria is a barely functional African state that struggles to fund its budget and police its borders. Adding a mafia-lite dimension to Nigeria's already poor global image risks turning Nigerians into international pariahs, which is bad news for a country that is highly dependent on remittances.

In 2018, Nigeria received over $25 billion in remittances, a figure which exceeded the country's federal budget of $23.7 billion for that year. In the context of Nigeria's dwindling oil receipts and 70% debt service-to-revenue ratio, the picture becomes even bleaker.


A full fledged-pariah state?
As the world tackles the threat of a terrifying new Nigerian bogeyman, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will come under pressure to demonstrate enforcement of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.

Predictably, the remittance sector will come under even stricter international scrutiny than at present, even though Nigeria's internet fraudsters mostly moved on years ago.

The indicted cybercriminals typically moved the stolen funds through the Nigerian banking system, instead of parallel systems like bitcoin and gift cards (which are themselves popular with other Nigerian internet scammers). This will likely attract the attention of the US Department of Justice.

At risk of removal from the SWIFT network, which connects banks across borders and effectively underpins international trade, Nigerian authorities will almost certainly do whatever they can to restore some semblance of global confidence in their KYC and AML enforcement.

On the whole, individual Nigerian citizens and organizations may well suffer localized backlash due to last week's indictments, but the Nigerian state itself is unlikely to suffer much. This is because unlike the North Korean regime, Nigeria's government neither plays an active role in cybercrime nor is it openly hostile to the international community.

The EFCC has already started collaborating with the FBI to arrest indicted suspects in Abuja with extradition to the US in view.

Going forward, the Nigerian government is best served playing a compliant and competent role in the prosecution of this case. Ultimately, that could be the difference between becoming a full-fledged pariah state and merely remaining a poorly-regarded one.

The state will always be fine, but the citizens? Not so much.

Ok

The Shoprite building in Ikeja belongs to BAT and many other cluster shops are rented by Nigerians doing business.

If you burn it down, SA would not be affected

this useless APC thug and Fulani herdsman should be dealt with

APC is bokoharam
APC is Fulani herdsmen
buharian army are aiding terrorists
Buhari is a criminal terrorist

kiss the truth

Evans and Invictus too were celebrated despite being criminals.

Pastor Fatoyinbo of Coza was seen as infallible until we started hearing of behind the scenes action

No one would really know what you do behind the scenes until you're caught in the act.

Shouting APC this, APC that can't help your case.
APC as a Party is not different from PDP in terms of having criminally minded politicians.

Saraki, Atiku, Tambuwal, Ortom were former APC, now PDP. Hence both parties are the same

Big brother put up a poll for the teams

Seycha topped the polls

And then riggie decided not to use it

My problem is ,they should have told us from the onset that the polls were useless

And I would have known not to hope for a win since tacha is paired with seyi

I for just watch then waka pass

Who won?

Thanks bro

Iamsegzy25:
You are right, Bambam Tobi and Anto kill this task

Intelligence personified are those 3 that never got to win. Tobi is very outstanding in presentation as well

If you followed my posts and analysis from season 1, those that have won haven't necessarily been the best and outstanding, they're just Lucky to be loved by the voters.

Ebuka is a good example.
Bisola season 2 another good example

What's lacking is presentation/Oratory skills
They are relying on individuals a lot
Seyi did opening montage and had to give a summary at the end. He seems to be the only outstanding speech maker this year.
Omashola and Frodd needs to Learn presentation skills. Ike stood out more than Omashola and Frodd

Hope he has papers to legitimately travel and live in Japan. If not he would be deported and Kanu will not save him.

Advice

There's something called leadership by example.

Sowore called for revolution. He went to the street leading the people and was arrested instead of the people he's leading.

Kanu called on IPOB members to arrest Buhari and attack other Ibo leaders. Where is Kanu to lead this charge?

What kind of leader is calling the shots from a secret place?

When will people get sense that some people calling you to war can never allow themselves or their relatives go to war front?

Dumb people are more in nigeria

We have less than 5 million graduates ( which 40% is half baked ) thats 2.5% of our population the rest are are uneducated

So when u see 30k twitter post it means nothing

Dumb people are in the majority

.
If you follow BBN 2019, it validates your post.

2 dumbest people in Tacha and Mercy have more supporters than the intellectuals in that house.

I said Senator Iyiola Omisore was in prison in 2003 and contested election, won from prison and became a senator of the federal republic of NIGERIA.

It's a shame that we have too many mumu on social media
