Kwese Sports, BON Reach Agreement To Broadcast World Cup Live
Channels Television
Updated May 21, 2018

Millions of football fans in Nigeria are now guaranteed free and breathtaking action of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on terrestrial television.

This is thanks to an agreement the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) reached with the rights holders Kwese Sports.

Based on the agreement, matches involving African teams as well as the opening and closing ceremony of the World Cup.

In all, terrestrial television viewers will get to see 32 matches at the month-long event hosted by Russia.

At a press conference, held in the Boardroom of Channels Television in Lagos, BON Chairman, Mr John Momoh, explained the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Mr Momoh said, “We are focused on providing the best services to our audience and clients. And by combining the wide and national coverage of our members with Kwese’s offering, we can ensure that all Nigerians have the opportunity to watch the matches and cheer our great Super Eagles to victory during the FIFA World Cup when watching free to air television regardless of wherever you are in Nigeria.

“To this end, BON and Kwese have dedicated endless resources to ensure a top-class sporting coverage that will remain indelible in our minds for a long time to come.”


On its part, Kwese Sports said it was keen to get as many Nigerians as possible get to watch the World Cup.

“What is really important for us is to make sure that all Nigerians, to the extent possible, are able to have access to the World Cup,” the Chief Executive Officer of Kwese Sports Nigeria, Zakary Wasara, said.


The 2018 World Cup in Russia is scheduled to start on June 14 and end on July 15. Hosts Russia would get the tournament started by taking on Saudi Arabia.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles would get into action two days later when they face Croatia. The Super Eagles were drawn in Group D along with Argentina, Iceland, and Croatia.

OakPearl:
What is your investment strategy?
You seem to hv passed judgement already @the bolded?
Sure of your verdict?

Long term investment. I made the remark after i attempted to value them using the current PE, PEG and EPS.

Greetings fam, I plan to add wapco, intbrew, dangflour, afripud and mobil to my portfolio. The fundamentals of the first 3 are not encouraging. Sirs/Mas, what is your advice?

Agbalowomeri:
Profit or loss harvest?

Sir, with guidance from onegentleguy and your likes, it will surely be a bountiful harvest of profits. Don't you think so?

onegentleguy:
Having previously analysed the coys u mentioned, I'll try to be as concise as possible.
On a scale of preference, I'd key into them in the following order of importance;
1) CUSTODIAN
2) CUTIX
3) AFPRUD & UCAP
4) CONTINENTAL REINSURANCE.
5) LEARN AFRICA
6) CAP

This is after a total consideration of their latest result.
...though CUTIX is yet to release their YE result, but given that their Q3 2017 performance is already slightly ahead of their YE 2016, the coy is well placed to deliver a far better than expected earnings in 2017. (...this is even if u decide to discount any input from Q4)
On CUSTODIAN, I have no further comment. ...their fantastic YE result clearly speaks for itself.

In all, I particularly like the 1st 3 but 'if they were women, I'll prefer to marry the 1st 2 and make the 3rd fellows my concubine'.
But then again, the 4th has also been doing things well especially in the last 8 quarters. However, I would only seek to adopt him should he come down a bit in price. ...preferably at a 20-25% discount from todays closing price of N1.86

That said, remember that ur entry price is often times even more important than the coys themselves. ...like I always tell folks, ur intended profit begins with a good entry price.
U probably haven't done enough in buying a good stock until u buy them at a good enough price.

However, except for the 6th, the others are all currently trading at a discount from their fair values, albeit at different margins of safety. ...so its still ok to buy if ur mindset is of the midterm.
But to play safe, I'll suggest u buy in trenches.

Disclosure: Onegentleguy is only currently invested in 2 out of the 6 aforementioned coys. ...though I must admit I also have 2 more of them on my radar.
Disclaimer: This revert is mainly advise driven and not any sort of recommendation.
DD still advised as always pls.

Good luck to u my dear !!

Thank you so much for your response. Now I have clarity on an approach to investing in these companies. Expect my feedback when it's harvest time.

emmanuelewumi:
For now there is no bank that gives single digit for Treasury Bills.


First Bank allows you to do Treasury Bills in the primary market with 100k.

What you explained up there is secondary market for Treasury Bills, I yet to see a single ydigit in the secondary market.

Sir Emma, Wanaj0, Rabbi, Agba, I would appreciate your answers on the below question:

Hallos:
Please what email address did you send the change of intent mail to?

@Hallos, the change of intent mail is invalid. But if you insist, here it is: LagosNIV@state.gov

justwise:
Please don't.

Thanks

Ok. Noted.

Osinowoosibanjo:
Eager to hear from u.

You asked for it so here it is. I hope after eating all that rice and chicken you still have energy to read my long post. On a lighter note, it may help speed up your digestion


Greetings everyone, firstly I would like to appreciate all the contributors on this forum. Your inputs have been invaluable to me resulting to a seamless missionary journey. It is heartwarming to read posts about members getting visas after the period of visa denials. To those who got theirs I say congratulations and to those who didn’t, work on the feedbacks received and reapply. I look forward to good tidings in 2018. Amen.


This post is to give back to the community I have learnt so much from. It would also be my pleasure to share some tips I got from members offline. Truly, CBPs and VOs read this thread so I would use the opportunity to lend my voice to the discussions on discounts and packages for international self-paying patients. Kindly bear with me if this post is too long, although, I’ve divided it into 3 parts (Pre-trip, Pre-LO Arrival, and The Return Home) to help with that.


PRE-TRIP
Online reviews proved useful in choosing a hospital and an associated OB-GYN among the usual suspects around Houston: WHMC, Oakbend, HNWMC, Methodist Sugarland, Memorial, and Doctores Para Ti etc. Moreover, the right decisions are made when you invest time in reviewing pros and cons of options available to you. I highly recommend this habit. So, look out for my review on the hospital and OB-GYN in subsequent posts. Furthermore, I ensured that I read all the recent POE experiences posted on this thread especially those related to Houston IAH – our POE. In addition, I sent the unnecessary Change of Intent mail and got the usual response. With these knowledge, I armed myself with the advised burden of proof listed below:


1. About $9k cash
2. Return ticket
3. Bank account statements: Naira and Dollar accounts
4. Dollar Debit card
5. Employment letter
6. Correspondence with Houston North-West Medical Centre’s (HNWMC) Financial Counsellor.
7. Correspondence with Dr Xydas’ Office Manager
8. Appointment letter from Dr Xydas’ OM stating total bill
9. Details of HNWMC package for self-pay patients (called Miracle Moments)
10. Marriage certificate
11. Airbnb receipt stating house address in Houston
12. Change of Intent correspondence


I was at 34 weeks when I left Naija with DH aboard an Air France (AF) flight. In-flight service was just ok; the flight crew could have done better by truly giving special treatment to pregnant women as stated on their website. Notwithstanding, the layover was short and we benefited from the Flying Blue Programme so overall the trip was great. While booking my flight I didn’t request for a wheelchair because I am Wonder Woman. LOL. But seriously, I didn’t feel I needed it besides walking is good for you and the baby. Consequently, yours truly strolled the distance from boarding gate to CBP. At Houston IAH, the length of the queues was fair, hence within minutes of joining the queue, it was our turn with CBP. See transcript below (bear in mind encounter was less than 3 minutes):


CBP: Hello
DH: Hi
CBP: Can I have your passports, please?
DH: (Hands over our passports)
CBP: What are you here for? (as he tries to locate DH’s visa page)
DH: We are here for vacation and to give birth to our baby.
CBP: Oh cool! Congratulations! How much do you have with you?
DH: About $9k
CBP: Any food stuffs?... Oh I see you declared some.
DH: Yes, Nigerian food stuffs.
CBP: Please place your fingers on the machine (takes our biometrics and stamps us in for 6 months and directs us to luggage area) Enjoy your stay and all the best.
Me: (Chuckling and wishing him well as DH picks up our passports)


With pleasure, I checked to confirm the stamp so what happen to Okon won’t repeat itself. LOL. I remember someone posted here that CBP forgot to stamp her PP after their encounter therefore I had to double check. Anyway, after picking up our bags, an officer stopped us on our way out and directed us to Agric. At Agric, chicken noodles, chicken flavour Knorr (bird flu issue), tubers of yam (pests transfer issue), and one pepper soup spice (can’t remember the local name) were seized. Fortunately, others scaled through - ground egusi, beans, other pepper soup spices, Knorr, ground pepper, poundo, semo, garri, and ground crayfish. At the airport back home, we got a thumbs up from Nigerian Customs and Immigrations during the baggage search because we used Ziplocs to package food items neatly….. *badt gal*


PRE-TRIP TIPS
1. Register on a travel fare aggregator website for price alerts on your travel dates to your destination of choice. When the price is at or below your budget, hurry up and book. Confirm the airline baggage policy of the cabin and for infants to enable proper planning. What is applicable to Delta Air Lines may not be to Qatar Airways. We fell into that trap. Watch out for Part 3 (The Return Home) of my story.
2. Proximity to the hospital and OB-GYN’s office (for the regular ante-natal and post-natal visits) is very important. It will save you a lot on transportation, time and stress. I’d advise that you stay in an apartment close to these places. If you plan to stay with relatives/friends who reside far, ensure you do your Cost Vs Benefit analysis before making the decision.
3. You may already know this, nevertheless, I’ll drop it here. Travel light so you can have space and weight allowance should you decide to shop. Additionally, you can travel with an XL foldable duffel bag (without rollers) that weigh almost nothing instead of carrying those weighty luggage despite being empty. Bear in mind that most airlines kick against matted woven bags aka Ghana must go.
4. Last but not the least, is the burden of proof. Ensure you have it ready and neatly arranged for your POE. Having it gives you the confidence to face any form of interrogation if the need arises.



MEANINGS OF ABBREVIATIONS FOR PART 6 NEWBIES

Also to Seun for coming up with this forum and keeping it running 247

Of course, I shouldn't fail to mention the Oga @ the Top for providing this beneficial platform for us to connect and share information. That reminds me. I have a feedback for management on the recent policy against the sharing of information on hospitals/doctors not advertising here. I believe there is a win-win solution. While I am in total support for the monetization of this thread, I am against the disenfranchisement of the rights to post freely. People made this thread what it is today by constantly contributing and that is why corporations are advertising here.


It hurts when posts in response to a kind request gets deleted. What you may observe is an increae in backdoor connections which is against the essence of this thread. Take a look at the Reddit model. There is always a win-win situation between keeping your contributors and getting advertisement. I know this is a sensitive issue so I will end it here.


By the way, Oga @Seun when are you listing NL on NSE? Hurry up so I can buy some shares and make some money off my lil contributions.

Merry Christmas!!! Glad to see our beloved thread has moved to chapter 6. A lot of helpful information have been well documented for newbies. Kudos to @justwise and @DisGuy for the great job as always. My "missionary journey" experience is coming up soon, I hope it helps someone.

@justwise, I noticed you've deleted my post in response to @Bisoye76's request on HNWMC's charges. Why was it deleted?

The interesting prayer card below was seen on Facebook. Apparently this Shiloh 2017 attendee (mostly like from Delta state) is furious with the Okowa led government so has requested for his dismissal come 2019. He wants a NEW DAWN! What do you guys think?

maeshal:
So kwese you guys could not win this recent UCL rights for 2019 to 2021 and you want us to be paying 6k+ every month sigh

Maeshal, yes the UEFACL '19 and '21 rights have been won by SuperSports. However, I am sure Kwese Team is working on securing other football rights. Nevertheless, there are other premium entertaining channels to get you thrilled and ensure you get full value for money. Download the app to see the list of channels and their TV shows. Go with KWESE, you won't regret it.

Owner has retrieved his WhatsApp profile so we can't chat him up again that is why we are pleading with you to help us fish him out. He even had the audacity to scam unsuspecting contacts by sending out the following text message.

Thanks for the information brother.

we are sure now it is not an in house recruitment.

Now the prayer session can begin.

You are welcome... deadline passed.

The person in the picture below stole a friend's phone and was dumb enough to use his picture as the WhatsApp profile picture. Kindly spread this thread so we can stop him from his criminal activities. We don't want other people to become victims of his act. If you know him or know his whereabouts please don't hesitate to contact me. Moderators, would you be so kind to put this in FP to get the attention it deserves. Thanks for your usual co-operation and understanding.
