Christianity Etc › Re: Tony Rapu’s Church "The Dome" Sealed Off By Lagos State Government by naptu2:

Let's take the second.... Last year, this year what difference does it make in the context of building without permit. The sentiments I referred to in your pose is this. The law will not consider the amount you spent or that someone should have stopped you earlier. There have been cases when someone built on land only to discovered the land is in dispute. The courts awarded such cases to the land owner with valid title, regardless of the time the case was brought to court or a consideration that the case should have been raise earlier.

In this case of TPH, from the perspective of law (Regulator and Law) there is contextually no difference between now and the past when they should have obtained permit
You still don't understand what I was referring to. I'm not referring to whether they have a legal right to that building or to what the courts would say. I'm referring to the fact that they put up a structure without the required building permits and that they have been building on that site since the middle of last year.

So how do we know if the structure is sound? Who has inspected it? Who certified that it's safe to build that structure there? What if we had a repeat of the Lekki Gardens or Synagogue episode between then and now?

Bros,

1. Unfortunately, sentiments has little place in the face of the law.
2. The question should also be asked of TPH, with all the number of lawyers & Civil servants in the church, they built a first and started a second building without building permit?
There's absolutely no sentiments in my post.

In my first line I was making it clear that the church demolished its earlier structure and started building a much bigger structure last year (presumably without the required building permit).

My second paragraph refers to my belief that the government should have stopped work on the site since last year. Anything could have happened on the site between then and now.

They demolished the church building and started constructing an even bigger building early last year.

My only question is, why did it take so long? They've been working on that site since last year.

Clickbait.

You won't understand the context of his statement unless you read the article and most people won't read the article to the end.

The headline is designed to attract attention, but it doesn't properly convey the meaning of his statement.

Whoever drove this thing has mental health problems.

I encountered two seriously ill people this evening.

This guy parked in the middle of Admiralty Way tonight. There was another crazy person (just beyond him) in a QX56 who went halfway accross the road and just stopped right there.

They both deserve to be committed.

I think its high time govt although i hate govt controlbut its high time they stop major coys doing business in Nigeria to stop advertising on pay tv generally,its killing the advert Industrt in Nigeria,we already pay to watch football,why will you show me an advert saying the UEFA champions league match is brought to you by heineken,what happens to to money I paid for subscription,is that for moon landing?

If those coys advertise on local content it will develop.

I hope they resolve the issue.
That will never work. Force will never work. If you have a good product, people will patronise it without being forced.

I'm at an event, but when I get home I will tell you how many wealthy Nigerians have invested in the Nigerian league and how they've suffered because of it.

But this thread is filled with many comments insulting DSTV. People tend to forget how much DSTV have reinvested in capacity development, showbiz and sports in this country. I think it's unfair. Let's wait and see whether any competitor will pick the NPFL rights and how good the club money and production will be. The Nigeria deal was the biggest SuperSport League deal outside South Africa.
If you go through this thread, you'll discover that there are more people criticising the NFA and Nigeria than there are criticising Supersports. Only a small minority are criticising Supersports.

Most of the people that have mentioned other tv networks are mentioning those networks because they want the league back on tv and they want the league to develop, not because they hate Supersports.

Or would you prefer a situation in which the league is completely off our screens?

malakus:
Hundreds of shops were demolished on Wednesday at the popular market located within Ojodu Local Council Development Authority by men of the Lagos State Task Force on Environment, allegedly in compliance with a court order.

The demolition was said to have caught many traders unaware as they were not given any notice before the exercise was carried out.

The first question is, in compliance with what court order?

I didn't know they had started pay TV now.
Kwese however is under Econet Wireless owned by Masiyiwa, the Zimbabwean as you correctly said but please note that it's headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa so calm down.
Even in the Ghana that they launched, it's only free to air. They bought an already existing FTA TV station and rebranded it. Kwese does not have the financial muscle to compete with even Startimes let alone SuperSport. At the end of the day football lovers will still subscribe to the service that offers the EPL, La Liga and the Champions League meaning low penetration for the others including the one that shows the NPFL.
Also remember that Startimes already shows the competitions that Kwese shows and the CSL in addition. They also have more African TV experience and so will even be a better option.
grin It seems that you are trying hard to make this some kind of Supersports vs others thread. He didn't say anything about Supersports' financial muscle and most people have not condemned Supersports on the thread.

Haba naptu2 I expect better from you. Don't be sentimental. Let's even forget the Ghana League issue because that was because Startimes came into the picture promised the clubs more money even though DSTV gave better production.
We all know SuperSport are actually showing these African leagues as some sort of CSI. They're reinvesting profit from showing the European leagues into local football. Our local football is not profitable for them and we should give them kudos for this.
The issue here is to find out what this breach of contract was and whether SuperSport are not being highhanded. I however think SuperSport are strategically withdrawing from African football because of low returns and it's a very sad development in the short term.
KweseSports has nowhere near the financial muscle of SuperSport and there's no way they can bring a better deal than SuperSport. It's just a free-to-air TV company that can't compete with pay-tv. How many OB vans do they own? Which experience do they have in packaging live sports broadcasts? Also remember Kwese is a South African company although owned by a Zimbabwean so they'll still have the similar interests as SuperSport.

Governor Abubakar Bello was also at the Jumat prayers at the Villa. They interviewed him afterwards and the interview was just shown on the 9 o'clock news.

They also showed President Buhari walking down that walkway.
