Why do people hate NTA?

iammolise:
Nothing works in this country, a whole national television sef can't compare with private ones. Nigeria should better be declared capitalist state.

uuzba:
Because it is government and has betrayed people's trust.
As a kid, NTA was all that there was. It used to show cultural programs that united Nigeria. Since this is Nigeria's ideal.
But when we keep on seeing Northerners as president and Ministers, when Niger Delta is the one supplying the nation's wealth from it's crude oil, and nothing it left for Niger Deltans,,... then there is something wrong with the Unity. And NTA don't talk about the devastation in that part of the country.
It was private stations like Channels TV, that addressed those issues.
Hence we got to know that no matter how much fire burns the whole of Nigeria, NTA and government will get to hide the stories,
.. whilst private stations will talk about them.
So that's why we hate NTA.

sulaak:
Niger-Delta politicians are the ones supporting Northern Nigeria. Stop complaining and replace your yeye politician

You think you have seen it all then tune in to NtaSports


They would be showing you 1945 Olympics and 1984 super eagles

YORI FOLARIN of 'This Morning' on TVC will be perfectly fit for NTA. That man is an APC and Buhari's propagandist.

89% of his questions and quests are pro-APC. His questions are so watery that a professional journalist shouldn't have on his list.

I believe he (YORI) will do well if NTA should seek his service

Bouz:
It's funded by the federal govt, obvious they can't say anything wrong about what the federal govt does. Same goes to LTV or EBS

Katcall:
what about babajide otitoju my man?

Coldie:
All those sharp tv with hunch back go fit am

Praxis758:
Babajide Kolade-Otitoju speaks the truth most times.

The only personality he idolise and won't speak evil against is the bullion van Chicago guy who resides in Bouillon.

BKO sees the Chicago bobo as too saintly, eternally sacred and politically godly to be criticized.

I've seen him (Jide) criticizing the clueless presido, abusing APC, calling out PDP, daring the NASS, taking on the Judiciary but he and the JH crew have never spoken against the Chicago bobo

The only three guys who won't join them to praise the lagos landlord are Sam Ibemere, Martins Onoja and one other journalist from Ijebu-Ife (I've forgotten his name.

And Jide never hid the fact that he's pro-APC and pro-Northerners

Katcall:
The army hate him for speaking in favor of bokoharm even tho he saying the truth. He is one of the shining lights of indepth journalism. I also like GKB and mojeed

Dotherightthing:
I do watch NTA. I love News Line on Sunday night. I have been watching it since I was a child.

Only wailing pigidiootts hate NTA.

Let Buhari appoint one of them as NTA DG and watch them glorify NTA as the best in the world.

Nonsense!

To be frank, if I come to your house or office and I observed you're watching NTA, automatically, I've assumed your IQ level is -2.

It takes the zenith of stupidity for one to stoop so low to backtrack his/her brains watching NTA.

IME1:
It's a good question

And what is worse, these people will fight and troll anyone/foreigner who tries to also badmouth Nigeria.

Words have power, the Americans keep saying God's own country, big brother, greatest in the world and the likes
Whereas there are numerous countries, some small, some bigger that the US which are by far better

People die daily from gun violence, accidents, hate crimes, assassinations, sicknesses and the likes but they don't blow it in the news. But Nigerians we concentrate so much on our weaknesses.

As an aside. Let me use my experience. I was to attend a wedding but I'd other rough places I needed to go to before the wedding. I'd to dress down a little. Worse my shoe spoilt as I stepped out of the car. I'd to use my casual slippers in the car. Do you know my Co invitees ignored from top to ankle and focused down at my footwear. I laughed. I said humans! We won't appreciate the good side and things in order but would look for little errors, issues or setbacks and blow it up out of proportion. That's why if I'm conversing with someone- words or chats I ignore errors in the language as long as there is communication. It helps to keep the flow and respect people instead of belittling or embarrassing them "unnecessarily." But a few people will leave the substance of the discussion and focus on the undotted "i" and uncrossed "t"

Now back to NTA, NTA in focusing on these festivals and ancient programmes is making a little attempt to keep the country patriotic, sane and 'limited.'

Patriotic- many of us won't have known of the fishing activities in Borno if not for the festival feature on NTA
Sane- too much bad news and political tension can cause emotional and psychological insanity, lead to paranoia and depression
Limited- NTA limits it's audience to only the government's perspective and good side. They don't do all round broadcasting and don't thrive for competition in getting licenses to air sports, music, political debates, competitions or entertaining programmes or sitcoms that draw people and families to the TV.

NTA like America is helping to polish the image of Nigeria, whitewash it, apply make up, portray a fake, deceitful, lying situation of Nigeria and save the face of government

Yes, his analysis and reportage on the insecurity (Banditry, terrorism, druggery and kidnapping) in the northern Nigeria is topnotch.

He's never biased in those area of coverage and I guess his vast knowledge of happening in the military parlance made not not to be in the good book of corrupt military guys.

I respect him (Jide) for his serial truthfulness in reportage on insecurity and the military. He's only weak area is the worshipping of the Chicago bobo.

GKB, Mojeed Jamiu, Mayor Akinpelu, Yinka (d Ogbomosho guy), and others are great guys.
