N-orthern T-elevision A-uthority



Sorry to say but nothing might happen, the northerners believe they own NTA, have you have heard the song they play before they read news?
The song sounds so northern like....

Look at the color of NTA logo, looks so like northern colors

Ben Bruce came and rebranded all that when he was DG of NTA, changed the logo and color to a fine logo with blue, then made NTA 24 hours, they even stopped playing that northern sound before the news, the camera and recording quality improved that NTA started winning awards and competing with private stations, people who even hated NTA started watching NTA because he brought in new programs too, guess what?

when he was removed as DG, they reversed almost everything he did, it was like they even went and brought the old cameras and started using because the picture quality became poor, the logo was changed back and the northern sound was now played before the news.

Till date NTA has remained like a relic channel, the only thing they kept was the 24 hours broadcast....
HAUSA FULANI are good at notting but looting, you ought to know this by now

Langtang people will never publicly agree that they are Hausas or know how to speak it.
It was an attempted media coup against Gowon and the people of langtang in plateau state. They have ditched Hausa language long ago. They are Tarok people. Not Hausa.
Gowon is Angas not Tarok

Do people still watch NTA? Never knew it still exists even. NTA "died" in many people's reckoning several years ago wen many interesting programs it used to show were rested...

Ttipsy:
I understand your point.
But taking Nigeria for example
We have a multi ethnic population.
English is the official language

NTA is a public station, it has various viewers that cut across different ethnicity
Using Hausa here is totally wrong
Let the man speak Hausa if he knows how to speak it excellently. Let him speak Hausa .The viewers can read ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Nothing is wrong if English subtitles of his speech is simultaneously attached.

Hausa;Yoruba; igbo WAZOBIA are our 3 three Major pan African languages.
As long as COMPULSORY ENGLISH SUBTITLES ATTACHED FOR ALL ; Nothing wrong if NTA or any Government station that is not BBC hausa or Igbo; interviews a public figure in any of the 3 major Local languages WAZOBIA in our Naira currency 💵.


It is totally wrong 🚫🚫🚫🚫 however, if there is no English translation subtitle simultaneously attached without regard to the diverse ethnicity of targeted viewers.


N:B
Na people like you make Genevieve miss her first oscar nomination for Lion movie. It was Rejected at the Oscars for a movie coming from Africa majorly in English language and Igbo subtitles. The Oscars favoured africn movie with any predominantly original African language and English subtitles attached .

Gowon is Tarok, we have different minority tribes in the core North. The majority tribes is Fulani and Hausa. However, all the minority tribes speak and understand Hausa. The Hausa language is well spoken in the North more than any languages, even more than English.

We have tribes that speak more Hausa than their own language.

JESUS CHRIST!

This is the problem with responding to this kind of thing.

THIS DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NTA! IT WASN'T THE NTA THAT ASKED GOWON TO SPEAK IN HAUSA!

Lol , laugh just full my belle when I dey read peoples comments. You people think it was done to tarnish the ex general image or to portray NTA as Northern TV station capital No.... They only want him to speak in hausa cos they want him to pacify his Northern people... Few week ago he actually met with the presidency at Aso rock, definitely the president would have appeal to him to help in calming his Northern people... But guy man too sharp, he no want act as planned sharp ex general......

Its easy to understand what played out.

Thiefnibuu is becoming desperate after being openly thrown under the bus by the North who he depends on for votes.

He brings in Gowon for a propaganda job, so they can circulate the tape in the North, hence the need for the General to speak Hausa.

But the old soldier was too wise for them and rejected their plot. grin

Even Thiefnibuu knows his days in that office are numbered.
You may be right?

This is really bad.. But i thought Gowon was Hausa.
Even if he is hausa, was he to address hausa or Nigerians?

I asked a question bothering me.
I already know about the topic.

This BBC stuff use to confuse me.
Who are the owners of BBC?
I thought BBC is a british owned news studio?
naptu2:
It's not about the BBC, it's about the NTA and you'll have to continue reading the thread to find out how.

(By the way, yes the BBC has studios in Nigeria. They've had for over 30 years).

If it is NTA Hausa programme , you cant go and be talking in yoruba or English. can BBC interview you in Ibibio? This story does not Jell if however it is NTA National programme, then, they need to explain to the whole world why they did that.
Re: NTA Cuts LIVE Program As Yakubu Gowon Refuses To Speak In Hausa (video) by MomohMrMoore: 2:52pm On Feb 23, 2024
All the management of NTA should be sacked immediately. Was it a hausa program or they think NTA is Sokoto Television station? Surely the Hausas have dominated the national station and should be reversed NOW

NairaOcean:
On Wednesday, February 21st, 2024, something surprising happened on TV. The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) was showing a live program with Yakubu Gowon, a former leader. At 5:30 pm, during the show, things got tense.

NTA asked Gowon to speak Hausa, a language he didn't want to use. Gowon is good at speaking English, which he preferred. But NTA kept insisting, even though Gowon said no. Then, without warning, NTA suddenly stopped the program. People watching were confused and upset. They went on social media to talk about it.

People are now talking about why this happened and if it was right. They want NTA to explain.

General Yakubu Gowon (rtd) is an Angas from Plateau State but his parents migrated to Kaduna State where they lived.
