This is not development tbh, NTA has lost its shine, it's the voice of the incumbent government rather than Nigeria as a whole.
Controlled by old folks, it lacks innovation and it's still stuck in the past.

Local content

The NBC code, which was first drafted in the 1990s, mandates that free to air stations should show 70% local content, while pay TV stations should show 20% local content.

Prior to this (in the 1980s) the NTA showed a lot of foreign shows. The NTA unilaterally increased their quota to 90% local content in the late 1990s.

I remember thinking that the directive didn't make any sense to me and that it could easily be flouted.

1) How do you determine what is local content and what is not?

2) Would an MBI production of the Ghanaian league be considered as local content or not?

3) Would a BBC production of the Nigerian league be considered as local content or not?

My questions were eventually put to the test 20 years later when Big Brother Naija was held in South Africa. It was classed as local content because some of the producers and production crew were Nigerians, yet the show was held in South Africa.


Anyway, Multichoice immediately started trying to get Nigerian content in 1994 in response to the NBC code. This put them in conflict with Nigerian stars.

Multichoice bought The Charly Boy Show, some of Onyeka Onwenu's videos and other content from NTA2 Channel 5. However, the content did not belong to the NTA and Charly Boy and Onyeka sued Multichoice.

AIT owner, Raymond Dokpesi later said that he sold the idea of creating a Nigerian movie channel to DSTV, but DSTV sidelined him and created Africa Magic.

Since then Multichoice/DSTV has been looking to increase their local content.
