The Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has reportedly asked the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to stop airing Big Brother Naija (BBNaija). According to TheCable, the acting director-general of the NBC, Armstrong Idachaba, told senior management members that he had been directed by Lai Mohammed to shut down the BBNaija show due to possible spread of COVID-19 among housemates. The minister had reportedly sent a letter to NBC on July 1, 2020 before the BBNaija show began. His move to shut down the show is believed to be because of the general opinion that he is bent on sending MultiChoice Ltd, producers of the show, out of Nigeria. Mohammed is believed to have launched political moves against MultiChoice in order to pave the way for his main consultant to make a return to Pay TV after previously failing.

A director is said to have reminded the meeting that NBC had already sought explanation from Multichoice on a possible violation of COVID-19 protocols with the airing of the show. MultiChoice replied with detailed explanations on measures taken in collaboration with the Lagos state government, whose agency, Lagos State Safety Commission, gave the green light for the show.

All housemates went through a mandatory two-week isolation during which COVID-19 symptoms would have manifested if they had the disease. A second director is said to have told the meeting that participants of the show had maintained the safety protocols, notably generous use of hand sanitisers, since it started on Sunday.

However, the acting DG was said to have told the meeting that he would have no other option than to carry out Mohammed’s order — the same way he altered the broadcast code to please the minister despite public outcry. Idachaba, in his response to TheCable, simply said BBN will not be taken off air but did not provide any further information.

Planing on upgrading to a set up like this

TyTos:

something like this one is just perfect

Stakeholders in Nigerian broadcast industry have described the decision by satellite broadcast outfit, Multichoice, to reconsider its hold on the English Premier League (EPL) and the UEFA Champions League as a reflection of the state of the country’s economy. Multichoice, through its subsidiary, SuperSport, which owns broadcast rights for the EPL in Nigeria and most of the rest of Africa, yesterday said it was considering not renewing the rights for the EPL and the UEFA Champions League when they come up for renewal at the end of the 2020/21 football season.

The company hinged its decision on the rising cost of international sports rights and the continually falling value of the naira against other major currencies.It said: “It is becoming impossible to maintain many of these sports rights, especially the EPL, for Nigeria. The recent fall of the naira against the dollar has equally not helped matters.”

The company’s annual report, published at the end of last month, showed a gaping hole in its Nigerian operations, a situation the source attributed to the cost of EPL rights, as well as those for other competitions such as the UEFA Champions League to Nigeria, which is charged separate to the rest of Africa.

According to Multichoice, “Rights for the African continent used to be bought singly, but this changed in 2007 when a competitor, backed by the federal government, forced the EPL to excise Nigeria from the rest of Africa. Now, the cost of the rights for Nigeria has risen to almost the same with the rest of the continent put together, while the number of subscribers in Nigeria is only about one quarter of the rest of the continent.”

The company said its decision to reconsider the continued purchase of the EPL rights was not exactly new, adding that two years ago, it almost did not renew the rights because the company was having difficulties justifying the huge cost when placed side by side with what its subscribers were able to pay as subscription when compared with the rest of Africa.

It disclosed that it costs about $250 million to get the EPL rights, while it spends about 100 million euros for the UEFA Champions League.
“The results show that percentage increase in expenses exceed a percentage increase in revenues, an indication that while it is spending more on its operations, it is not making enough to keep up,” it added.

Reacting to the development, Managing Director of Hotsports/HS Media, an independent and sports marketing company and official media partner of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Taiye Ige, said it was a sad reality of the times ‘we are in.’ According to Ige, it is a problem caused by now rested HiTV, which came and made unsustainable bids for the contents in an effort to monopolise the market.

“Before HiTV came to the scene, Nigeria and Africa were seen as one,” Ige lamented. “But they came and said Nigeria should be separate. They accepted to pay the same amount Africa as a whole was paying. Today, they are no longer here, but the problem is still with us. Where is the market? Which Nigerian bank will support you with this kind of money?”

Ige accused the Nigerian Broadcast Corporation (NBC) of also being part of the problem, when he insisted, “They just sit down and make laws without thinking of the implication. They said that nobody should have exclusive rights to any content, but they did not look at the cost of getting contents.”

Ige, whose company has facilities to host all types of broadcast activities, said his organisation would welcome any company that wants to bid for the EPL and Champions League rights, adding, “If they don’t have the facilities, they can use our own. We have a world class facility with several studios for massive production.”

When contacted, Multichoice’s major competitor, StarTimes, said the development has opened the doors for other outfits to bid for the rights. It added, however, that they would study the situation to know the best way to approach it.

A StarTimes senior official, who pleaded anonymity, said “our operations are geared towards getting quality contents for our subscribers. We are currently looking at the possibilities and will come up with a decision at the right time.”

Former Sports Manager at Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Mr. Paul Ogazi, said the national broadcaster could take up the challenge with the backing of the Federal Government. Ogazi, who recalled that NTA was broadcasting EPL before the advent of pay television, said, “With government’s support and aggressive marketing, NTA can do it. If they get corporate sponsorship, they can pool resources with other outfits to take up the rights.

“When I produced the EPL, all the stations came together under BON. We had a marketing group headed by OSMI to source for commercials and share the percentages.

“NTA and its partners may decide on the type of production, whether it would be central production or studio by studio. When we did it, we had a central studio, where the other partners sent their analysts every match day.
“To get it right, there must be accountability and everybody must be on the same page.”

SARS kills seven police robbery suspects in Delta
FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInWhatsAppEmail


From Aiwerie Okungbowa, Asaba, and Mike Odiegwu, Port Harcourt
Confusion hit the police in Bayelsa and Delta states following the killing of seven policemen in Ughelli, Delta State allegedly involved in armed robbery.

It was gathered that a police sergeant attached to the Bayelsa State command’s armoury was also arrested and transfered to police headquarters, Abuja for allegedly supplying guns to the police robbery suspects.

The seven policemen were reportedly shot dead during a gun battle with operatives of the Delta State Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).



Though the Bayelsa State Command refused to make official statement on the development, sources within the police confirmed that the incident occurred at night on Wednesday last week.

The Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Nkereuwem Akpan, reportedly led a team of officers to the Delta State Command to retrieve the bodies of the seven policemen.

A source said the ranks of the dead policemen ranged from sergent to corpral.

“The reported killing of the seven policemen in the shootout in Delta State is causing uproar at the command,” the source said.

“They were reported to have been engaging in armed robbery when they engaged the Delta Special Anti-robbery Squad in a shootout. They were all killed.”



The Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Hafiz Inuwa, said he was not aware of the development.

But another source from the Bayelsa police command, who spoke anonymously, confirmed the development, saying the incident happened at Ughelli.

He said, “What you said is true. But I dont want to speak further. Dont also rule out a case of mistaken identity. There was also some criminal motives attributed to the policemen. They were found where they were not supposed to be. They were carrying guns and at the same time in mufti.”

Hmm. 3rd degree murder is Minnesota is a joke. It is the most lenient sentence for murder and is essentially just a manslaughter charge. In Minnesota, if convicted of 3rd degree murder, you would only serve a maximum of 25 years in prison. Minnesota is one of 3 states that was a Murder 3 charge, and is the most lenient in terms of sentencing.

Murder 3 is called "depraved heart" murder. This means a person shows indifference to life, and knows their actions run the risk of potentially harming others, but you do not have to prove that Malice was a factor.

They chose this, because it will be easiest to prove a "depraved heart" murder, than a murder done with Malice.

The immediate-past managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Maikanti Baru, is dead. He was 60.

Saw and heard the video, this man couldn't breath and he let the police know he couldn't breath. He was also handcuffed! Yes, the police officer should be held accountable, actually he should be in jail!
