That TSTV has disappointed many Nigerians is not in doubt. However, what is news is the explanation of the company’s management on what has been wrong with it so far and what they are doing to fix things. Next is an open letter to Nigerians by the MD/CEO of TSTV, Dr Bright Echefu:



Source: TSTV is Back with Exciting News

Naming that company TSTV, a name that closely resembles an existing company in the same business, is underhanded. It is a bad idea that creates trust issues for TSTV from day one. Yes, DSTv can sue.

It's easy to blame the ladies, but if Nigerian men stop aiding and abetting this passive extortion, the ladies will have no choice but to stop it. A woman asking you to pay for her transport fare is one big red flag that any self-respecting man should never condone.

What I also know for a fact is that a girl interested in a man will be in her best behaviour, and blatant extortion masked under "date" will be the least of her focus. Men should also learn to read passive cues to determine if the girl wants to use you as a cash machine.

In the end, a woman will only go as far as permitted. The choice is yours

Brilliant!

Naijawebmaster:
I agree, Mike. It is insane for one to believe that a celebrity will ask for money when you are not the likes of Dangote, Otedola...etc.

Being foolish or greedy is not an offence. In fact, greed exists to some extent in everyone. That kid deserves to go to jail. Mike is wrong.

Of course, he has. God help the country!

killsmith:
I wonder when men became this weak.

You have evidence that your wife is hoeing around and you're still asking what to do....

I honestly don't know what to say to you. If you end up dead because of this adulterous woman, rest in peace...

Even women are complaining that real men are disappearing.

mysaviouralive:
Hello Admin pls move this to the front page and I will be in the comment section reading.

Pls I want to take a boldness step and I will not mind where it can lead to. I have to open an account now to post this. My wife is also a guest of nairaland and she will be seeing this post. ...

You need to take charge. So far, you're not doing that. Arrest the colleague? For what crime exactly?

Your options
1. Divorce her.
2. Let it go and continue with the marriage.

Go for option 1 if you don't want a cheating wife. You have asked her to stop and she has refused. I believe she won't. If she promises not to do it again, he will just hide it better.

Go for option 2 if you're okay with an open marriage - a marriage where both of you are allowed to step out under set rules.

The ball is in your court.

nazablossom:
This guy reasons like a child. He suppose to know how to make public statement.

I don't even know if he is dragging a girl with daddy freeze. They are always on each others throats, acting and reacting

Freeze is even more uncouth in his language. I agree with Free the Sheeple in principle, but Freeze needs to grow up some.

Will you marry me?

yorubakid:
I don't get it, are they trying to leave Lagos to another state to continue their madness or is it only Lagos command that was overhauled and reformed leaving out other commands,the story doesn't add up at all..

Lagos is where they're known and recognised by the bad guys. For the ones who have served here.

Is it as president? That's minus 1 for governance.

Preshy561:
don't go about telling girls that are far beyond your class to date you.

know your size and level.

How is a girl that asks men for 20k (or any amount) to prove their love for her beyond anybody's class?

happney65:
Hmmmmm,I get your point..However entertainment talkshows only do one thing and that is to massage the Ego of their Guest.

They don't put their guests in a corner sort of..They can blast and make jest of anybody but not their guest..I don't know the reason why..Maybe they don't want the guest to feel awkward being made jest of on National TV..

Even Trevor Noah does the same. .He is almost of the side of his guest and ask "soft" questions and massages their Ego sort of..

My take though

I see. I'm not a TV person - never watched any until this one.

happney65:
Does he?I don't think so..The show isn't a political show or something..He is only meant to entertain his audience and not to put the guest on any hot seat whatsoever..

Ask about their exploits and success..Just like the Alibaba show too

I get your point and I agree it's not head-to-head. I actually considered that fact when assessing this show. Still, I think he overdoes it. If you put a public office holder on the podium, there is no reason a burning issue that was widely reported in the papers about his conduct can't be raised briefly. For example, when Babantunde Fowler appeared, he could have asked about the lop-sided recruitment controversy to balance things out a bit. On the rare occasions he does - like when he asked Minister Lai Mohammed when Buhari would return - he prostrated first, albeit jokingly. And then there was the day he said he ran into a man driving a posh car and he parked for the person to have his way. When the person asked him why he was so courteous he said it was because he wanted to buy a similar car. For real? That wasn't a joke - Teju knows of a connection between clearing the road for someone driving a big car and buying it! Exploits and success, yes, but describing them the way Teju does - "I have never seen..." "I have never heard..." "She is the only person that has ever..." - just doesn't work for me.

DonPikko:
This guy was never funny

He is. The only thing wrong with the Teju Babyface Show is the ass-kissing which he overdoes. How he manages to place anyone on a podium and inform them they're a blend of Moses, Jesus, and Mandela! But I guess some will say it's a part of the culture around here.

KingLinglee:
Kinda seems like a lie...


first of which hustle is he hustling that she likes


and she didn't at least ask for a pic with the "hustler"



Anything to trend Sha,Not surprised

The Nigerian mind is now so twisted that everything is seen as a lie. Who did this to us?

Daviddson:
Though I always detested the reign of Daura while he held sway over DSS, I see the wisdom in his decision not to appoint a spokesman. We saw how Marylin Ogah who was the spokesperson during the previous regime was made a subject of laugh and ridicule due to the propaganda her boss were giving to give Nigerians. In fact, surprisingly I'd believed that Marilyn was DSS DG unknown to me she was simply a mouthpiece, and most had no say over whatever happens there. The woman became a scapegoat who bore all the insults and condemnation.

That hasn't happened so far since 2015. It's complicated sha

Ogar was the architect of her own misfortunes. She started well. Then she accepted gratification from the PDP and had to deliver. That's when she began to insult the intelligence of Nigerians daily. And, no, she was a deputy director, so she must have had some say in policy.

Munzy14:
For the first time since 2015, Nigerians felt a little bit of leadership. from last week till this week.

My brother, that's how we see it o! But I'm sure Baba Stand-still will soon be back to shut down governance again.

C4Ltd:
both sexes having sense now

how can you eat over 6k in a sitting with impunity from the guy that is not your father

modified**



I never implied non of what you just said. Read again; it's the girl who should have a sense jor.

Cut down on this "real man" talk ok? it's why we have more Widows these days.

Remember the story of the girl who ate and ate and ordered takeaways for her friends?

anyway [b]a real man has no reason to prove he's a real [/b]man unless he loves sex so much as to put it on his status

Brilliant!

[quote author= post=70331745]Good way to go.
SAY NO TO INJSUTICE

Mr Ogundipe was arrested and detained on Tuesday for refusing to disclose his source for a story. He was secretly tried by the police on Wednesday and denied access to legal representation at the trial.

Oan,
We wonder why it is so difficult for him to let the police know his source too.

I always wonder about it.

Demmzy15:
The reason I don't believe these so-called news is because they are void of facts. How can Baghdad, Juba, Tegucigalpa, San Salvador, Mosul and other murder stricken cities be better than Lagos?

That's how one nonsense published that Nigeria has superceded India in poverty (!?) It just doesn't make sense, Indians are well over a billion(1.3 billion) and 60% of these population don't have access to toilets which is around 780 million people. So if 780 million people don't have a basic structure as a toilet, how on earth does Nigeria a country of 200 million people have more living in poverty?

Seriously, I smell a big conspiracy.

Anyways, Baba Buhari till 2023

I don't think there's a conspiracy. Yes, they're probably wrong about Nigeria having more poor people than India, but as for Lagos, security is not the only criterion used. For example, apart from Juba, the cities you mentioned have fairly stable electricity. There are other issues like access to water, roads, ease of doing business, etc.

DeSepiero:
It takes personal devotion, discipline and understanding to correctly practice and abide by certain codes.
Being a member alone doesn't guarantee that.

Generally speaking, you're right. There's luck too for it to "work" for you. It's the few who master personal discipline and get lucky that are usually held up as examples that it works. This is the case with all creeds and ideologies that make promises.

lawjjj:
I wasn't talking about peoples' personal attitudes as a matter of fact I know a couple of ill mannered masons, mostly politicians, of course there must be Judas in every 12 as the saying goes

One Judas among 12? You kidding me? Masons are like other people. Nigerian Masons are like other Nigerians. That means Nigerian Masons are different from Masons you will find elsewhere, just like Nigerian Reverend Fathers and pastors are different from clerics elsewhere and can scam you if you don't watch them well.

I think people join secret societies like Freemasonry in a bid to acquire power, to expand their view. I doubt most of them find any power and improve their lives from them anyway.

MRSoftapples:
She should work hard to better her life, change from the slums to a more suitable environment..
Then mosquitoes will be history..

She should stop displaying poverty online..

Mosquitoes are found mainly in slums?

HungerBAD:
I don't believe this news.

Saraki is many things. But being dumb is not among them. He stands to gain nothing politically if he goes through this dark tunnel.

Doing this, is tantamount to committing a political seppuku.

Hasn't the Saraki bloke been suspending Senators left-right-and-centre, a state of things that once forced one Ovie Omo-Agege to take matters into his own hands?

bluecircle470:
I am seeing it in a different angle here. Wole Soyinka of late has been looking for attention, he has been bashing and throwing tantrums on OBJ and the man OBJ has not been looking and refused to pay attention to Soyinka, he's rather not ready to dignify him with a response. I think Soyinka should rather look elsewhere and leave this man who has not even got his time.

You haven't followed. Obasanjo started it all.

bluecircle470:
Soyinka and Obasanjo Soyinka spoke in his Interventions VIII series, titled: ‘Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?’ meaning “Gani’s Unfinished Business,” launched recently in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

@bolded. Seriously, Vanguard? Seriously?

flexyrule:
Nigeria's public service system needs a COMPLETE overhaul. The downside is that many people would lose their jobs.

They deserve to. You have to look at the big picture - there'd be more jobs in the end if things work.

chukxie:
What foolishness from the police. The suspect needs urgent medical attention if he has woken up for six days. What did they mean by "We are watching him to see when he wakes up"? Chai, Nigerian police are truly dumb.

As in, ehn! I can't believe it! A doctor should have sorted this out by now, even in Banana Republic.

Equal2DeTask:
This is what happens when the red cap men in ur village decides to handle matter...



Meanwhile he maybe sleeping to eternity...

Any decent police force ought to have got a doctor to see him by now. It's funny, though. This is what Nigerians call "juju"!

Bluezy13:
"might"
Hehehe... A clever way of showing concern.





He ain't doing shit!!

Well, he's a qualified lawyer. He just might.
