naptu2: [size=14pt] Sylvanus Okpala [/size]

Stephen Keshi was a defender/defensive midfielder. He serves as defence coach.

Daniel Amokachi was an attacker. He serves as attack coach.

Ike Shorunmu was a goalkeeper. He serves as goalkeeper coach.

Sylvanus Okpala was a midfielder who played for Rangers International, the Green Eagles and several Portuguese clubs between 1979 and 1988. He was the midfield coach.

The NFF sacked Okpala after the 2013 Nations Cup, saying it couldn't pay his salary. Stephen Keshi offered to pay Okpala's salary, but the NFF refused.

The NFF wanted to hire a foreign "technical assistant" for Stephen Keshi. Keshi said that he would prefer if the NFF used the money it would use to pay the foreign technical assistant, to rehire Sylvanus Okpala. The NFF refused and said that the Okpala issue was closed and it would not re-hire Okpala.

naptu2: I predicted this a little over 15 years ago and it has come to pass.

In the mid/late 1990s, shortwave radio stations were discussing the impact of the transition to digital radio on shortwave radio broadcasting. They talked about a set date in which all radio and television stations will have to switch over to digital broadcasting. Owners of analogue televisions will have to buy a set-top box (decoder) to convert digital signals into analogue format. I thought to myself, "that will be the end of 'free to air' broadcasting in Nigeria".

Basically, digital broadcasting makes it possible to use bandwidth more efficiently. For example, the FM radio frequency is from 88mghz to 180mghz. On some radios, Cool FM 96.9, Classic FM 97.3 and Metro FM 97.7 all interfere with each other. There's also a limit to the number of radio stations you can have in Lagos, because they have to be allocated frequencies in the 88mghz to 180mghz range. Digital broadcasting does not have that problem. You can have 500 stations on Lagos Island and they would not interfere with each other.

So the international deadline for all countries to switch to digital broadcasting (especially stations that are close to international borders) is June 2015. Multichoice made the switch in the late 1990s/early 2000s. That's why we have DSTV (Digital Satellite Television). South Africa as a whole made the switch in the early 2000s. The question is, when will Nigeria migrate to digital tv and radio?

There have been uncountable seminars on this subject since 1999. The NTA and FRCN commissioned many brand new stations between 2000-2003 and Raymond Dokpesi attacked Ben Murray-Bruce for this. "How can you be commissioning analogue transmitters when the whole world is going digital by 2015?"

Frank Nweke Jr, in the mid 2000s, said that people should not panic about the transition. He said that the government would provide set-top boxes for free for Nigerians that cannot afford them. "Nigeria is on course for the transition to digital broadcasting". I laughed.

Now it's been confirmed. You'll have to pay to watch tv or listen to the radio in Nigeria (or as David Mark said in the 1980s, "Telephones are not for the poor" ).
