It depends on what your taste is. If you like local stuffs and music, startimes is the way. If you can afford dstv premium, dstv will really entertain you. As of startimes not having cnn, they have others news stations like aljazera, fox news and bbc.

Thanks. i need it mainly for news due to my line of work, esp foreign news. Not too much interested in local stuff.

artisticallyart:
Stuck with dstv.....star times is a big flop. Their phones, TV and other electronic gadgets are just a flop.

I see.

Startimes recently débuted in Abakaliki and they've been engaged in aggressive marketing, you know. . .all those fine babes wey move from house to house and shop to shop, fliers, etc. . .

I'm seriously thinking of porting from DSTV to them. I went through their packages and was quite impressed (CNN is lacking in all of them though - BIG MINUS)

Anyway my main concern is the complains from users in other states about how stations are rarely available, how the decoder always hangs, etc.

So users of startimes, how the experience so far?

porka:
1. So, for first degree, you will be asked to produce your NYSC discharged/exemption certificate.

NYSC does not mobilize and issue discharge/exemption certificates to graduates of institutions not recognized in Nigeria.

2. For higher degrees, your current employer already knows you were with them all through the period you claim to be studying while your prospective employer would ask you during interview if your program is online or residence. Your CV typically records your employment and educational history with dates anyway.

LOL!! and you think those employers all went to local universities?? I laff in Otuoke.

The standards of some online programs cannot be compared to even the best full time program in Nigeria. That the truth.

In the NGO world where I work, close to 60% of the management staff have foreign degrees, mostly obtained online. In fact employees are encouraged to develop themselves and even some are offered limited sponsorship once he/she can show evidence of admission.

Those who run out of Nigeria for study outside this country are those looking for cheaper degrees. It is either they cannot pass the examinations or they do not possess the minimum entry qualifications.

Such unprecedented, shocking and primitive ignorance.

While I agree some on-line degrees are not even worth the paper they printed on, other especially the UK based ones are of very high standard. What we need is regulation, not outright ban.

Few days ago we all witness the shameful news that none, not even one, of our Nigerian universities were among the top 1000 universities in the world, and here the NUC man is talking trash.

I did my masters at the LSHTM, and had the opportunity of being lectured by some of the best brains in public health. I didn't have any "physical contact" - whatever that means - but the knowledge I gained cannot be compared to that of any local university (all due respect to them). Moreover the cost was over 10 times that of any local university.

so whats the best tablet for a budget of about 40k?

Ten women only?? NA BIG LIE!! Should be more like 50!

Even his first wife confirmed in her book. OBJ's peennis no get inhibition. What it sees, it devours!

safarigirl:
I know your antecedents, so I do not expect anything less from you. So, even the fool on twitter that said people should kill alll their Igbo neighbours was playing, right?

If you have ever experienced Yoruba tribalism, shed tears because of it, you will not say this. You're absolutely clueless. Ho and ask Ikwerre, Efik and Ibibio people of the injustice they've suffered simply cuz they can't speak Yoruba. You know nothing.


I won't dignify you with a response after this, so don't bother quoting me. Just know that the day a genocide is declared against Igbos in Nigeria, all of us whether from Delta, Oron, Annang, Ijaw or Igbo, will be the victims.

Madam pls keep quiet. Your hypocrisy is nauseating. Yes, there is an appalling display Igbo-phobic sentiments here, but guess what? The genocide call was started by your people!! The fact remains we are all hopeless tribalists. Every single tribe in Nigeria. I've lived and worked in the south east for a while, and I know the kinds of comments I see here. There is a difference between asking for a fair and calling for death of the "animal leading the zoo" (words of your darling Kanu).

To repeat we are all triblaists, without exception. Sad but true.

the day you don't see accident on that notorious roundabout. . .that actually will be the news.

Thankfully no one died.

WOW!!!

elbaraj001:
Micheal Faraday...he was a french born scientist, he invented electricity...but during d test of his invention he forgot that electrons can not be stoped with hand so he tried stopping the flow of electrons with and unfortunately he was electrocuted and that was how he died....R.I.P...Faraday

Totally false. He died of natural causes

shocking!

Mogidi:
And the problem with you jan..jan.weeds is hypocrisy. Seems you forgot OBJ the "captain" of APC spent a whopping $16 with no improvement.

Unlike you pathetic TANIODS, I have roundly criticised PMB's unacceptable and inexplicable inertia, especially in such a critical time. I'm stringently averse to asss-licking.

However our collective decision to send GEJ packing has been the best decision ever which I will never regret

PMB will always >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GEJ

Whynotthetruth:
What's an achievement bro?...building world's tallest drum?...

Can you do an analysis of cost implication of a power generating plant vis a vis timeframe for same?...am waiting...

barcanista:
It "peaked" at 4517MW doesn't mean it was dropping free fall. In fact as at April 2nd it was 4500MW

So where all zees money come dey go??

4517MW in 2012, 3 years later 4500MW. over 150 billion spent. And someone tries to defend it.

[size=30pt]SHAME!![/size]

Note: 2013 - 2014 not included

FreeGlobe:
[s]Few days ago, boko haram captured a highway in Borno. Chad are now fighting boko haram on our soil while the lame duck terrorist called president looks cluelessly. Boko haram has killed over 700 in the 30 something days rule of this terrorist[/s].

Mind giving the name of "highway"?? (COMPARED TO A F**KING TOWN!!!)

Whynotthetruth:
Was it buhari that moved us to the nearly 5000MW we have now?....What's our installed capacity so far?...because I think you need more help here...

LEt us even assume its 5000MW. For all our resources and the colossal amount of money spent on the sector (conservatively put at about $10B), can you in all honestly claim that as an achievement of your darling GEJ?

That, my friend, is the problem with you taniods.

barcanista:
Shattap! As at December 2012 is was 4517MW. You no see am for your link?
http://thenationonlineng.net/new/power-transmission-hits-4545mw/

It was 4000 in Nov 2013

For ya disingenuous mind. As at May 2015, few days to his journey to Otuoke. . .

Nigeria’s power generation at “all-time low”; crashes to 1,327MW : http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html

Well I have confess that my being a PMB supporter notwithstanding, I find the polls rather incredulous.

PMB hasn't clearly lived up to expectation.

Alezy:
PMB has actually done nothing about power, what u see is the little GEJ was trying to put in place. Our president might not be a dullard but he is absolutely slow. like VERY SLOW.

for all of six years (2010 - 2015), yet it was less than 2000MW. Seriously you guys need help.

Rubbish comparison.

IT was during the administration of a C-in-C that a rag tag army took over an entire town and hoisted their flag.

It was during his regime that our soldiers were scampering for safety, sometimes - the sheer shamefulness of it - to neighbouring Chad.

IT was during his regime that they took those unfortunate Chibok girls captive which sadly have not been found till date.

That much trumpeted achievement around Feb this year was mainly a recapture of the locations hitherto held BH. That's all.

No doubt about it, I will be the first to castigate the handling of BH by PMB so far. He has disappointed most of us. However to compare GEJ's handling as better is downright silly.

Otunbatrafford:
In this Era of dwindling revenue from the Federation Account? Hope they are not trying to scam already frustrated Graduates? Anything Government recruitment always bring to mind the ill-fated immigration job scam which was a brainchild of that useless he-goat - Abba Moro.

My point. I just want prospective applicants to be wary thats all.

sagewonders:
till date you still stupid. nawao

And till date you still imbecilic. This is a state i live and work, so i have a good idea of the way things rr run. Civil service dont recruit like this. Cretinous person.

Which kin recriutment is this? Are they trying to tell they dont have such professionals in their works dept?

Prospective candisate should Tread with caution. . .

liberty300:
This stupid NDLEA thieves. That's how they arrested a friend of mine for having tramadol in his pharmacy. Since when has having tramadol in your pharmacy become a crime in nigeria?

They just came in his shop, ransacked it, arrested him, locked him up and kept on torturing him asking him to pay them #250k. This boy just went into pharmacy business and is trying to make a little living for himself

They seized his phones and didn't allow anyone to visit him. When he could not take the beating any longer he decided to pay. They dressed him up, cleaned up his wounds and drove him to the bank to collect the cash...no receipt no nothing.

These guys are thieves... All of them

shocking. IS he a pharmacist?

wow! camry convertible? interesting!

It also directed authorised dealers to ensure that the daily cash withdrawal limit embedded in the cards per person, per day is pegged at $300.

so what happens if one needs to pay school fees to a foreign university, say $3,000?

SARS, while I admit their success in curbing crime to some extent, are notorious for their brutality and extra-judicial killings.

My cousin while recounting his truly horrific experience when he was arrested just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time gave an account of their torture techniques that would make your blood run cold.

After being given the beating of his life, he was hung by the ankles while sharp objects inserted into the peni.s and anus. He actually said he lucky not have been killed as he witnessed the summary execution of no less than four guys.

HMMM! police??!!
