SlyCharlie:
It isn't. The rights to the NNL are sold differently..
.
Some inside info tells me, it had to do with payments and currencies plus other logistics issues.
.
The NNL too is also on the verge of signing a deal with startimes for satellite tv coverage, maybe wit the exit of supersports from the Npfl, Startimes may be tempted to go for the Npfl rights instead. Don't forget Kwese Tv is also lurking somewhere...
Read my two previous posts.

Meanwhile, NTA signed a deal with the Nigerian National League, yesterday or two days ago, to show live NNL matches.

(The NNL is one level below the NPFL).

(I wonder if that's the breach of contract that Supersports is referring to)

CFCman:
Your idea isn't all that feasible.
For starters, the broadcast rights for the EPL is somewhere around $100 million for a number of years. If you add the rights for the Champions League, FA cup, and other leagues, the total amount could be well north of $250 million. A Nigerian company would still have to charge between N8,000-N12,000 for its premium package.
And this is the underlying cause of the problem. African currencies have fallen against the dollar in recent times. Supersports pays for rights (including the NPFL rights) in dollars, while subscribers pay in African currencies.


Subscribers across Africa are vehemently opposed to increased subscription fees, prompting DSTV to release a statement that they won't increase the fees this year, except in Nigeria and South Africa. They've increased subscription fees in Nigeria.

DSTV/Multichoice is a business and they must cover their cost and make a profit, so something must give.

So now they've cancelled their contracts with the Ghanaian football league (last year), Kenyan football league (a few weeks ago), Nigerian football league (today), Nigerian basketball league (a few weeks ago), etc.

The good news is that other broadcasters are taking up those rights. Startimes has gotten the rights to the Ghanaian league and Kwese Sports took over the rights to both the male and female Nigerian basketball leagues (they also now have the rights to NBA matches in Africa).

Supersports is Sports Tv like No other.
As a stakeholder in the NPFL, I miss them already.
KweseSports has already gotten the rights to the NBA and the two Nigerian basketball leagues (previously known as DSTV Basketball League).

Something very similar has already happened in Kenya. SuperSports cancelled their contract with the Kenyan football league.

That's one of the difficulties that you encounter with poverty alleviation programmes. You attract people from other jurisdictions and you might end up with more people than you can cater for.

Something similar happened in 2013, when a woman travelled all the way from Delta State to Lagos and was rolling on the ground (and stripped herself half naked) outside an Ikeja magistrate court, because people in Delta State told her that Fashola was assisting poor people and she could get help from him.

u right bro. IBB used d limousine version as president
He used the limo version once (when Dan Quayle visited Nigeria in 1992), but I think the car that you are referring to is the 600 (W100).

The 600 is bigger than this car and Babangida used it often from 1988-1993. It was bought by General Gowon and used by Gowon, Shagari, Babangida and President Obasanjo used it once, on May 29th, 2007.


Presidents Shehu Shagari (of Nigeria) and Hila Liman (of Ghana) exit the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammad Airport in the 600.

President Babangida exits the 600 as he arrives the first anniversary celebration of Akwa Ibom State in 1988.

W114 Mercedes Benz.

It was made between 1968-1976, but it was still very popular in Nigeria up till the late 1980s (the limousine version was popular into the 1990s). Nigerians regarded it as a "very strong car".

It was succeeded by the W123 Mercedes Benz (known as the "Regular Mercedes" or "U Boot" in Nigeria).

This car is one of the predecessors of the E-Class (its bigger brother, the S Class, was the W108 Mercedes Benz).

MoltenMagma:
I will NEVER pray for God to touch my adversary because He will show mercy unto whom He will, and forgive those who He will. Stay there praying for them while they are turning your lives upside down. If you have ever encountered unbelievably wickedness in the physical and spiritual dimension then you will not sit down praying for God to touch wicked people who have sold their souls to the devil. They are of the devil who uses them to fulfil his threefold ministry: kill, steal and destroy.
Mathew 5:44.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is it right to pray "Holy Ghost, Fire!" Against Enemies? by naptu2: 7:18am On Apr 17, 2017
MoltenMagma:
I think the confusion lies in the usage. There is nothing like 'Holy Ghost fire'. It is written that God is both merciful and 'a consuming fire'. He also says 'I kill and I make alive', so when engaging in warfare prayers, we should use 'fire of God', and not 'Holy Ghost fire' because when the Holy Spirit descended on men on the Pentecost, He came in the form of 'cloven fire'. It transformed the disciples, not destroy.

Anyone saying we should pray for our enemies is living in ignorance. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not intend for us to be turned to suya by this wicked ones. Stay there let them finish you and waste your destinies, you hear? Fire of God destroy any destiny waster opposing my manifestion! angry

I was pointing out to dat guy dat there is also something bad about catholics. So d fact dat something bad is reported about some churches doesnt make members of those other churches less christians.
And dat statement i made is 100% correct. Some reverend fathers are homosexuals, d others are practices from Catholics dat other christians detest. U didnt quote d guy i referred to because u acting like a judge thinks he is correct. Moreover if we dnt blow trumpet on wat God does thru us people would not be motivated to also become tools in God's hands.
If u re a catholic just talk to ur people and stay off my mention mr judge

Am here because am happy for what christians are doing. I didn't insult catholic apart from my response to one randy human being like dat.
Wen u hear a news of bad things happen to pastors or christians of other denominations u will find Catholics everywhere ranting thank God am a catholic bla bla bla
They forget david's reaction to Saul's death. He told dem to mourn and never let d daughters of philistines hear about it lest they rejoice. We are Christians not Catholics not anglicans not JW not Redeemed.
@ the portion in bold type. So you admit that you did the exact same thing that you are condemning? If someone does something wrong, the best thing to do is to correct the person with love, not to join the person in doing the wrong thing.

If some catholics have done what is wrong, then the best thing is to correct them with love, not to look for an opportunity to do the same thing that they are doing.


You've complained that some catholics boast, "Thank God I'm a catholic" when something bad happens in other denominations, but you've just done the same thing as them by boasting about how you got your laptop and boasting about the charity work that SCOAN and Christ Embassy do and you've just referred to, "homosexual reverend fathers". So what makes you different from them?

But you are not rejoicing at all. You are fighting. Is that Christ-like behaviour? So what if he or she mentions his denomination? Does that have to degenerate into competition? Are you doing whatever charity work you are doing in order to get the applause of people? What is the point of the competition and insulting each other's churches? Is that what Christ wants from you?

Why are you guys turning this into some kind of competition? What's the point of this meaningless argument?

Easter: Catholic Diocese Clears Fines of 25 Prison Inmates.

by Edino Justice

https://www.nta.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/easter-calendar_cross.jpg

The Catholic Diocese of Yola on Friday paid fines of 25 inmates from the Prison, as part of activities to mark the Easter celebration.

Speaking at the ceremony, Bishop Stephen Mamza, said the church paid the fine amount and got them released.

The church also presented foodstuff to the remaining inmates.

Mamza urged Christians to demonstrate love through sharing with the needy and underprivileged such as prisoners and internally displaced persons during such festive periods.

Mamza said that the role of the Church as the body of Christ is to put a smile in the lives of the hopeless one in the society.

In his remarks at the occasion, the officer in charge of the prison, Mr Idi Abubakar lauded the church for the gesture and its sustain assistance to the inmates during such festive periods.

Abubakar asked those released to reciprocate the gesture by being responsible members of the society.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the church delegation also visited IDPs settlements where they distributed food items to the IDPs.

According to Catholic.org, Easter is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. It is celebrated on Sunday, and marks the end of Holy Week, the end of Lent, the last day of the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday), and is the beginning of the Easter season of the liturgical year.

As we know from the Gospels, Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day following his crucifixion, which would be Sunday. His resurrection marks the triumph of good over evil, sin and death. It is the singular event which proves that those who trust in God and accept Christ will be raised from the dead.

Since Easter represents the fulfillment of God’s promises to mankind, it is the most important holiday on the Christian calendar.

FRSC warns against extra headlights.

By Usman A. Bello, Lokoja | Publish Date: Nov 25 2014 4:00AM



The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has directed drivers with extra headlights on their vehicles to immediately remove them or face prosecution.


Kogi State FRSC Sector Commander, Mr Godwin Omiko, who gave the directive yesterday in Lokoja, said the command will not take it lightly with any motorist who ignores the order.


He lamented that use of extra lights at night was largely responsible for accidents as they obstruct the vision of motorists approaching from the opposite direction. He also directed motorists plying roads in the state to start using reflective tapes, adding that the plates aid visibility of drivers at night.

Omiko said the ember months campaign which was recently flagged off by the commission was yielding results and that it would be sustained up till the middle of January next year.

The sector commander said accidents have reduced by about 15 per cent.

I listened to an interview that he granted to The BBC c2011, in which he said that he discovered that there were many Facebook and Twitter accounts bearing his name, despite the fact that he's not on social media.

SLS, OBJ and Professor Wole Soyinka have repeatedly said that they are not on social media, but people keep ascribing posts on these fraudulent accounts to them.

Fraud: Kano Emir disowns Instagram, Facebook, Twitter accounts

“We have officially notified the administrators of the fake Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts requesting that the accounts be closed immediately in addition to detecting the identity of the culprits.


“It is important to reiterate that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has persistently stood for the unity of the nation regardless of its diversity. “He always emphasise the need for tolerance and respect for one another.”

Sanusi assured that his principles as a traditional ruler and religious leader would be meticulously safeguarded and warned the fraudsters to desist forthwith or face the consequences of their action.
