Lol DJT wants to sue BBC for up to 1billion in damages.

BBC Chair Samir Shah has apologised for an "error of judgement" in how a documentary edited a speech by Donald Trump

BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday night, after a leaked memo criticised a 2024 Panorama programme about the US president

The memo, written by ex-adviser Michael Prescott, claimed the programme put two parts of Trump's speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021

In a letter to MPs on the Culture, Media, and Sport Committee, Shah says the editing "did give the impression of a direct call for violent action"

Update: Nana Adams speaks on the Katsina United fan attack incident.

“My throat was not slaughtered. As we scored, KU fans started throwing objects at us. One hit my chest and another my neck.”

The 1st time i went back home after several years, my dad came to pick me, but his driver was driving. I counted several traffic infractions by the guy, other drivers, keke, bike riders, pedestrians, all within a few minutes of leaving the airport. I just stopped looking around after a while.

I no fit drive for that place again.

Traffic compliance only work when the likes of VIO, FRSC, LASTMA,NPF,etc., get information about government visits. The rest of the week, those folks just drive with krazee throttles and make ab.normalcy a norm.

You should see Benin, Abuja guys are also becoming something else.

To be fair Trump explicitly encouraged the 2021 riots all over his Twitter, anyone who followed him would bare witness. The BBC guys just spoonfed the public with the spirit of what he did by joining the letters of what he said.

Bimmarlykay:
Folks still take BBc serious?

BlueRayDick:
It's safe to say Gumi took after his own father. I won't be surprised if his own son currently in army also took after him in ideology and view of the world.

They are not trying recently with news but they are a lot more than news. They have million radio channels, local TV stations, and as far as education, learning materials for kids writing exams, Sports, history etc, they do a lot. Those guys have even revived 2 extinct languages - Welsh and Gaelic using BBC to where millions are speaking those languages now when hardly anyone could speak them before. I even passed all my GCSEs just by recording and watching their GCSE videos without opening any book. The only book I opened was Maths, Physics and Chemistry. BBC videos did the rest including Biology and all the MASSCOM courses.

One call from King Charles and he will drop the idea

We don't pay TV Licence fee of £175 a year to go into Trump pocket

The whole country will immediately stop paying licence fee if that happens

Although I don't pay licence fee as a principle. I can't think of anything as unnecessary as TV socialism when schools and hospitals are underfunded. It is left to my wife to fulfil all righteousness and give to Caesar what is Caesers to keep me out of magistrates court.

Potential problem brewing in one of the host communities in Omoku, Rivers state.

Background story : Sometime last year OANDO bought Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) from ENI.
Prior to this business deal, NAOC had been operating their oil and gas facilties in Omoku community. NAOC provided free electricity to the host community through their CSR and this has lasted for almost 50 years.

After OANDO completed full take over of NAOC assets and liabilities, they wrote to the host community ( as the new management) informing them that they would be discontinuing the maintenance of electricity facilities that has made the host community enjoy free stable electricity for years. They quoted a section of the PIA that backs their action meaning whatever decision they have taken has the backing of the law.

Now the issue is will the people who have been used to using free electricity to the extent of every home using electric cookers instead of gas cookers just accept OANDO's decision to return them to paid electricity?

Some people are already arguing that the free electricity they enjoyed from NAOC is not even enough compensation for the gas flaring and environmental degradation they've had to endure by virtue of their oil and gas facility in Omoku community.

I wonder how community will take the news Sha

GloriousGbola:
this is what happens whenever a firm is bought over. the new nigerian owners will look at some spend and say we are not doing this. it remains to be seen how they will manage the fallout with the community. hopefully this is a formalty and they have already engaged or settled the community leaders. if not . .

PDPGuy:
Wawu. Do you pay the £175 TV license fee at once, or is it broken down into monthly payments?

raumdeuter:
I fully support it. When they say media is corrupt and programming people this is another evidence. I hope DJT gets the full 1bn not a cent less. The same thing they did with the Gaza reporting. Especially a media organization that is funded by public money.

Same reason why Trump defunded PBS and NPR they are govt funded but in the D.C. area editorial positions at NPR, he said he found 87 registered Democrats, 0 Republicans

O

When OANDO were putting their bid together, whoever advised cost savings by discontinuing the electricity provision should be fired. They will lose more EBITDA to maintenance and shutdowns of production than they gain from the electricity savings.

Nobody is trying to be politically correct, rather it's you that should stop being unnecessarily emotional on this matter.Below is a link to video of the alleged slitting of throat

This video has emerged of what happened Barau FC’s Nana Abraham in the game against Katsina United yesterday. This looks at best like being hit by a small sharp object (though we’ll need a VAR for that). Where then did he get the much publicized neck injuries? #NPFL26 pic.twitter.com/LUH11r8lgJ

In that video, what I see at best is the player having an object thrown at him which caused him the injury on his neck.

Banishing them from Katsina to Jos is not the same as playing in their backyard ; that is false equivalence bro. I've already told you the motive behind Banishing them from North West to North Central is to make sure they are as far away as possible from their home fans so they don't cause any mayhem for the foreseeable future.

9m is a lot of money to a Nigerian league team abeg. The fans are the problem and the League management has done well to separate the fans from the team.

Ok. So the story about slitting and throat was false. I read it on a national daily. Thank God that wasn't the case as it would really mean a lot.

News station will pick it up, and show it live on their social handles.

Omoh, when will Nigeria get to this stage?

The guy chop Wike face for live camera without any remorse

Wike thinks everything is achievable through the use of force; today he meets a real force man who is deviant and wouldn't get intimidated by his crocked voice, see as him morale just fall .

Even the DSS guys that followed him sef were silently praying make the show end quickly so they can escort "oga" away before the military boys start shooting up everywhere.
