The Commission’s monitoring reports on AIT/Raypower indicate the use of divisive comments accredited to the segment of “Kakaaki”, tagged, “Kakaaki Social”, where inciting comments like, “Nigeria is cursed, we declare independent state of Niger Delta”, “Nigeria irritates me”, “this country is gradually Islamizing” and other similar slogans are used without editorial control in breach of the broadcast.
Nice one NBC It’s in Order

"Nigeria irritates me" is what you define as hate speech? Who is not irritated by the terrible situation in this country, where people do not mind risking their lives to cross deserts and oceans just to get out. You know something about you APC asslickers, nothing that this govt does is out of place. always finding ways to defend impunity at the highest. I can't tell if this is sheer ignorance or you guys just want to sound intelligent but i remeber that shiite who was a staunch supporter of Buhari. When the dogs of impunity came for him, his overlord was not there to save him. So keep supporting lawlessness, when it comes for you that is your own cup of tea.

Those of you clapping and hailing the government action on AIT, soon you will not be able to use facebook, twitter and WhatsApp, soon

NBC is not in order. There is nothing in the Act setting up the NBC that allows it to use brute force and soldiers, to shut down an erring station. NBC should have sued AIT to court, after investigating the facts. If court verdict is then given in favour of NBC, then it could have shut down the station in a civilised way.

IT IS COMING.

What's the duty of their editorial crews?

Maybe you can explain what the editorial crew should have done to comments made by people on a live programme.
Even if such comment came from their staff, they can still disclaim or dissociate the Organisation from the person making such comments.
There's no genuine reason for this closure

Show me where it states clearly that they can use soldiers or the armed forces to shut down a broadcasting station? Point out the exact chapter and verse, o!

to me the NBC has acted within it's powers and even gave reasons for the sanction on AIT, AIT should simply approach the Courts if it is not satisfied with the decision of NBC.

there is no need for people to cry, curse or harm themselves over this straight forward matter.

Democracy, Freedom of speech are not in any Danger because AIT broke some rules/regulations of the NBC and the NBC withdrew their license after several warnings, if you ask me this is Democracy at work

did you read all of the Functions at all? anyway check the number 14, or can AIT operate without it's license?

Stop dribbling and rambling like a clown. I asked you point blank to "show the part which gives NBC the right to shut down a station using brute force and armed forces. " Oya, cite the relevant clause and let everyone see it.

“My Summary of this lengthy Sanctions letter from NBC to AIT is simply this: ‘We have warned you several times in the past to stop broadcasting things that upset the Government and NBC. You refused to listen. Now we shall shut you up and down until you are ready to be like NTA’.
