That's where the exclusive license rule comes in. SLTVs argument is that DSTV should subllicence these sports channels to them officially, but DSTV is refusing, which is why the case is still on. Since there is no more exclusive content right in Nigeria.

Either DSTV gives them the license, or slam them with a huge licensing fee for them to pay. Either way, it's going to be an interesting battle.

If DSTV decides to do so, they will slam them with huge price and the SLTV price will sky rocket. DSTV is paying hugely to EPL to air their matches. It is so expensive to get those EPL rights. Dstv cant pay heavily like that and gift out their channels for free or at low cost.
SLTV should start thinking of long term plan becus now they have been mentioned, DSTV go remember them.

Cutezt:
Seems you didn't read the post completely. The NBC was sued alongside Multichoice by SLTV for violating their own sublicencing codes to create a favorable environment for pay tv competition and SLTV won.

There is no more exclusive content rights in Nigeria, that privilege has been removed by the minister of information and the NBC.

I don't know what you are talking about but even if SLTV shuts down today, I am not at loss at all.
I can get an installer to still help me track FTA channels with the decoder.

Moreover, SLTV has been existing since 2019 and despite all the court battles, they still show Supersport till date.

Do they have the right to air super sport? Super sport belongs to Multi choice which owes DSTV. Something fishy is here mehn.

This one dey feel important , expired politician

E no go better for ur generation. We are talking about constant killings of Nigerians, u are here claiming political affiliation. He listed what he has done for the victims over the years even when he is not in office. Pls, rest.
I just wonder how god created an average black man, one sense them no get

Pecoleee345:
See one them......wicked humans

Those selling in trade fare are aliens?? They are not suffering hardship??

How can you buy something for 2100 and want to sell for 3700??

We buying are plucking money from trees

No, they have to increase their prices to enable them foot their bills.
I drive a v6 engine car and I bought fuel at 695 per liter, to fuel my v6, u know how much it cost me to do so? Now, there is no electricity, I need to also fuel my home generator, fuel my business generator. Where do u think i will get the cash to fund all of these and keep my business going if I dont want to steal? I will have to increase the prices of my services and products. That is how the world works. Fuel is expensive and once that happens, everything that relies on it will tripple their prices. These sellers have people to feed and business to keep flowing.
This is not greedy anything! I am spending over over 300k monthly to fuel my v6 car, home generator and business generator. I have to get my cost back. This is the story of small and medium scale businesses now. They have to feed.

LagosFirstSon:
Good one.

Don't only go there once to enforce and then stop. Always go from one super market to another to ensure compliance

The issue is fuel is expensive. I got fuel for 695 per liter yesterday. Now, there is no electricity, I have to pay for expensive fuel for my house, my car and my business. These makes me spend 5 times what I used to spend. To meet up, I need to increase the prices of my products and services in order to pay my bills and remain in business.

PointZerom:
Lame reasoning.

You mean in retaliation to the killing of a top Islamic leader, Iran never planned to couse harm to Isreal and they fired hundreds of missiles wounding a young girl?

At this point I can only advice you to change your weed supplier.

Who plans to cause harm and announce it to the entire world the exact time they will strike? Who does that ? Do people in war tell each other, hey, as at 1pm, I will strike u with rockets ?
Iran didn't want to escalate issue because Iran too has been causing harms via proxy terror groups.
They just wanted to let Israel know that they can strike and reach their lands from far away.
The US even said that they actually told Iran not to go beyond certain level of rocket strikes.
Yes, the US confirmed that. The US actually helped Israel a lot. The US negotiated and lobbied Iran not to cause harm. Go and read it up. This was all planned well.
Now, the USA has told Israel, don't retaliate because our hand no dey again.
If Israel tries it now, Iran will respond well.
The USA was informed and the USA and UK all stationed their military to stop the missiles. Come on, use Ur brain abeg.

PointZerom:


Lol, you think you can threaten Isreal with weapons?

You fired over 2000 missiles without killing any mosquito in Isreal.

Wait for represal from Iareal.
Body go tell una.

Some of u dey always yan nonsense here. First, Iran didnt want to cause any harm to Israel, if it wanted, it wouldnt have announced to the US, UK, France, Iraq, Turkey that it would strike Israel. It was a warning to Israel that they can actually send targets into their country.
I mean, Iran informed the US days before the strike. Infact, it was the US, UK and France that stopped most of the missles.
U dont tell ur enemy when u want to strike if u truly desire to cause harm. Iran even informed Israel the day it was striking. Lol

helinues:
Na only government we sabi criticizing, how about the wicked people providing goods and services which refused to lower the price of things even after dollars fallen?

Foods here don't depend on dollar but fuel price.

If I have to pay for high cost of fuel, plus lack of electricity which means I have to fuel my car, fuel gen at my business, fuel the gen at home, I must increase the price of my products and services to enable me still remain in business and pay my bills.

olisaEze:
Can the pastor name the OBIdients that have said they’re unhappy with the improvement of the Naira? No one is talking because they’re still waiting to see the corresponding improvement in the price of goods and services! No be today APC and lie-lie, the story of our rice pyramids and the countries they claimed were in talks to start buying our rice is still fresh in the memory, joor! People are not yet seeing what they should be celebrating when the Naira is appreciating but rice is still in double digits and Geisha is now N1000!

I am waiting for him to actually point which person is not happy. He is chasing clout. Such a shameless act becus no single person is actually unhappy and not only Obi lost election. i mean, there is PDP that even came second. Why is everything about Obi?
And I bought fuel for 660 today on a V6 engine, it wasnt funny abeg. Things are still expensive. All of us desire a working Nigeria abeg where there is emmergency response team for health care issues, fast one abeg, where we dont dig bore hole to fetch water, where we can do road trips with confidence and enjoy our roads like our counter parts in other parts of the world so that we can at least take our babes to road trips and enjoy enough adventure. We want a working sport department so we can go and watch our local league matches like South Africans do. We want stable electricity and improved income so that we can pay for these services.
I paid close to 90k as tax to Nigeria when withdrawing my income online. It is crazy I pay this and still dig borehole, avoid road trips, lack proper and fast health care emmergence response team, serene roads to drive on, etc.

helinues:


South Africa electricity that have collapsed for quite some time now. There electricity situation could be worst than Nigeria own currently

We want stable electricity, give us light yhen yehn yehn, then we will take care of ourselves.

Now they have given us the electricity rate, we have started compare and contrast..

How much do we spend on Owambe's religious activities compared to the new electricity tarrif?

We are not ready for stable electricity in Nigeria

Plsss SA light is way more better than Nigeria I used beg u. We are even talking about minimum wage. How can someone who earns 30k afford such tariff plan in Nigeria ? That is the issue

pansophist:
No Seychelles? Like really? or do they mean Sub-saharan Africa?

Gambia, Burkina Faso, and Ghana shouldn't be on that list. Instead, they should be replaced with Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco.

They didn't say most developed. They said governed and indicated their measurements which lies in free press, accountability, etc.
China can't be ranked there good but China is developed. Same as Russia.
Some undemocratic countries are developed. Democracy doesn't mean development.
Morocco is not democratic but way far more developed than other African countries. Same as Tunisia

rapheal5:
I can't afford it for now....Thanks

Alright bro . U may check Udemy for cheaper courses and worth it too if u can dedicate

rapheal5:

Frontend development, 150k
Backend 150k
If you want fullstack 250k which is both backend and frontend.
If u want mobile development, 300k

rapheal5:
can I learn from you?

You can if you can pay

maasoap:
A brother in the hood moved abroad like 16 years ago, he's still doing night guard in addition to day jobs till now. The last time I did real work with my hands for money was 2018! I bought land last and completed my building in eight months. Investment, not engaging in any form of scam.

BTW: how did you switch to tech? I want switch away from this transport biz in two years time, I have lost appetite

That is what so many don't know. Well-done bro.
I switched to tech by self taught.

MT:
People do not know the power tech holds, and the capabilities it could unleash.

I was just offered a job of 800 GBP per day in the UK from the country I currently reside and I still rejected it, despite the fact that I will be working remotely as a senior software developer cum software architect.

Sadly, like I earlier stated, AI will take over all these menial jobs and office jobs people still do. This is the time to look in the direction of tech, if you can, to be relevant in the tsunami era that is coming. I understand not everyone can do tech, but if you can, do not hesitate please. It will hit a lot of people like an horror movie what is about to happen and western nations are so vulnerable.

My brother, I recently rejected a remote offer from a Singapore based tech company because I am over booked. Tech is so powerful and what tech did for me in two years is unbelieveable for me o. Each day, I keep thanking god that I made that hard switch even though it was so hard. I dont have to do all these crazy menial jobs and undergo all these stressful processes that I see people do. I just cant imagine what some people have to do.

teewhydope:
exactly

Omo, when I see the wahala people go thru in the name of this JAPA, i just know that it cant be me. I just want to love the freedom tech gives me. Na so my guy moved to the UK for the past 3 years now, he has been working in a warehouse, very stressful job, works multiple night shifts daily. Infact, he laments badly. For those who can do such stress, I wish them the best. I cant. Na why i switched to tech since. I can even sleep and wake up and decide to drive out and rest when I want to.
I mean, god bless tech. If I decide to move out today, i can and will not need to do all these wahala. Imagine all the wahala he had to do just to settle in Australia for life wey we all go still die las las
Tech remains the best choice I made. Writing codes is fun and building real apps are amazing. And no body go ask me to work for warehouse or do night shifts or do multiple jobs to pay bills.
A friend wey dey UK, another one, where she works, they dont allow them use phones. She always kind of sneak to use her phone. Oh lord, it cant be me. I cant

Usefulsense:
Before I commence my story, I want to specifically thank those who advised me not to travel. Your advise was borne out of genuine love and concern. One stated clearly that I should not leave known for unknown.

However, taking the bold step to leave Nigeria at the time I did was the best decision I ever made in my life. In fact, given the same scenario and even if I am 52 and my salary was #2million per month, I will still leave Nigeria.

The first 2 months was very difficult. The mistake I made was my insistence on getting accounting job. I did over 60 applications and all of them were rejected. I have no Australian experience neither do I have Australian certification.

My wifey was indeed an angle in human form. She provided the needed support. She shouldered all the financial responsibilities all by herself. This is the part that almost pushed me into depression. As an Igboman, we consider it a taboo for our women to feed, house and cloth us.

After two months, I decided it was time to re-strategize. I enrolled for a forklift training and within two week, I obtained my forklift license.
Not satisfied with that, I took some courses and did some checks that will qualify me to go into disability support work. I obtained First aid certificate, Diploma in mental health, certificate in infection prevention and control, certificate in care for the aged and disabled, police check, working with children checks, NDIS worker check, NDIS orientation certificate and many more.

I started applying for warehouse jobs. In fact, I had to reject a lot of them. I settled for one of the warehouses and it has been awesome working for the organization.

I have not gotten what I am looking for yet. I am using the warehouse to keep body and soul together. In the warehouse where I work, you will see people of different ages. from 18 years to 65 years working and making a good living. in Australia, there is always something to do.

The only thing I miss, is the big man mentality we have in Nigeria. Where I will sit in my office, call one of my staff in intercom and ask for a cup of coffee; and it will be brought to me in seconds. You can't try that rubbish here.

The level of security here is top notch. I have no fear, i move about anytime of the day/night.

After one week in Australia, I concluded that Nigeria is a completely lawless country and an animal jungle. Here everything is ordered. I am yet to hear a driver blow his car horn while driving. There are no touts, there are no omoniles. Electricity has never blinked for one second. water is constant, gas is there. I have never seen two persons fighting in the street. I have never seen a mad man or woman on the road or street beggars. The air we breath here is different from the air we breath in Nigeria.

It was in Australia that I realized that the saying in Nigeria that Nigerian police is your friend is actually true. Break the law in Nigeria and police catches you, just give them #2,000 you are off the hook. And the circle of lawlessness continues. Here, it is a different ball game. Proposing bribe will be used as evidence against you. It doesn't matter who you are. Every one is civil.

While in Nigeria I suffered malaria every month. There is no month I don't treat malaria. Since I got to this country, I have never had headache let alone malaria.

Children are doing wonderfully well at school and are already speaking through their nose.

In conclusion, I made the best choice. Even though I have not really found the kind of job I want to do, the little I am doing now contributes in paying bills and I have savings more than my monthly gross per month in Nigeria.

If you are above 45 years and have your partner already in this country, and you are an employee of a company, it is in your best interest to leave Nigeria. Provided, of course, that you are healthy and you are not lazy.

One dark side to moving abroad is that you have more chances of being divorced by your wife. This is a story for another day as I have gathered enough reason on why families divorce and will create a thread on this someday.


I am open to any question you may have.

Thank god for tech, we dont need to go thru wahala! My best decision in life was switching to tech two years ago. We can even live in Namibia, SA, UK, US, Nigeria, anywhere and be fine.
I no get energy to do all these stresss when una dey do! I wish u all the best. My guy wey dey UK dey do Night shift. Lol, god forbid! Nigeria is bad shaa, but omo, there are things I cant do.

God1000:
I don't understand, you mean Putin is deliberately prolonging this war that has killed thousands of Russian soldiers.


Russia isn't fighting like world power, if they truly are

Hahaha. They have occupied 20 Percent of Ukrainian lands and all the efforts made by the west plus sanction has not worked.
It is not easy to fight a war under sanction. Not even US can survive it easily. Russia is strong and I respect them more now.
U know, the US thought that they could ginger the enter world to blacklist Russia and sideline her which would have crippled the country to submission but that didn't work.
With all the intelligence supplied to Ukrain by western forces who are many in number, nothing is bigger than intelligence during war.
Russia still stood their ground and control 20 Percent of Ukrainian. that is superb.
As for losing soldiers, yes even with US and UK forced put together in Afghanistan, they lost forces too. Not to talk of one country fighting another who is supported by many powerful countries.
Only Russia na men.
Imagine 30 countries having sleepless nights over one country. Give Russia their flowers. They have refused to how to US led monopoly and I give it to them.

KingKO22:
Why didn't your people stay to work in your indigenous industries but rather ran away from the villages to Obodo SW to work on our companies from foreigners

No be curse be that 😊😁😁

You hate foreign industries yet your people in millions are benefiting from these industries in SW

The people u abuse wanted to leave Nigeria in 1967, ur region fought them to stay back! U refused and formed a centralized system, that is why some of them are in ur region becus of Lagos.
So, stop ranting and lets push for complete break away of Nigeria so that the dot nations can go back to their village as u said.
But the same u people will be celebrating Naija military for killing these guys who are agitating to leave. What exactly is the color of una problem?

Oladimeji13:
lol😂😂😂no time Igbo ever dominated music v u forgotten dbanj,wizkid,olamide has more hits than phyno,runtown and co and again Yoruba took Naija music to another level I meant international recognition

Your hit song may not be hit song in other regions. Nigeria is large.
The guys I mentioned have great songs that we vibed too.
Na only Una know wetin some of u gain here by ways dragging Ur selves..pls Una matter tire me here abeg.
I personally don't even like many of the so called south west musicians. For instance, Davido sings nonsense.
In award matter, a lot of factors are involved such as connection and PR. That doesn't make u a better musician.
Kizz Daniel sings better than Davido but has not won the so called Grammy. Tiwa is a great singer but has no Grammy.
Pls make Una park well with this Grammy thing.
The guys I mentioned took Nigeria music to the next level that paced way for what we have today. same as nollywood that was why we had some yorubas act in Igbo themed movies such as Olu jacobs.
Pls give Igbos their flowers and make Una stop this craps. I don't know what Igbos and yorubas do each other shaa.
I shall like to knack yoruba babes. They are sweet. Make the two tribes stop the yeye hates.

RecentHistory:
All those you mentioned, how many of them won a single Grammys?
This Kcee here, how many awards has he won?
Shinedu tell us.

History has or that no one from that side has ever won a Grammys. In fact, those demented Twins called Psquare once ranted that Headies is a Yoruba award because they refused giving them. Abi Grammys dey marginalise you too?

Sit in your Mkpummiri joint and be typing rubbish instead of you to go and learn Yoruba.

Fvck off with Grammy. Which Grammy? What is my business with an award owned by the US? Does kizz Daniels is a better musician than Davido with hit songs that has gone all over the country, has he won Grammy? Tiwa sings so well, has she won Grammy?
Abeg make Una rest with this yeye Grammy. I'm tired of some of u here.
Igbos chest beat, Una come for them that they chest beat, but u guys are free to chest beat every time ?
These guys I mentioned ruled music industry 10 years ago and were house hold names within and outside Africa

RecentHistory:
If you like, feature Queen Elizabeth. If you know you want to ever be considered for Grammys, go and start learning Yoruba language.

In Naija music, if you don't understand Yoruba language, you can never enter top 5. Never.

oga shut da fvck, Kcee rained in his time and bagged many awards. He is a boss to still make songs that trends globally till date. He has been on this for over 10 years. Not too many musicians can remain relevant for that long. So chill
At one time, it was dominated by the Igbos with the likes of Flavor songs hitting all over the country, Psquare heating all over the country, Phyno even been played in the north, Tecko hitting the airwaves, RunTown rulling the continent, Don Jazzy, and the list goes on. The igbos also ruled the movie and music industry few years back. It is the turn of the Yorubas, enjoy. No body wins for ever, na turn by turn.

helinues:
Toh

The born haters must have something negative to attach to this.

But they said same thing under Buhari na😂😂
Politicians are scam. Buhari wasted 8 years and they told us how the change is coming but never came 😂

Fujiyama:
^^^
If the police lost personnel to killers still at large - and in 'retaliation' they burnt down an entire village - Nigerians (to the last man) would condemn it. But when the army does it - somehow its ok.

The army lost several of its personnel in this attack under circumstances that are still very unclear. Instead of a proper investigation (like its done elsewhere) the next step is burning and wanton destruction. And some Nigerians are ok with it.

When someone said years ago that the number of normal people in Nigeria is less than 7, we all had a good laugh. But behind the laughter, there is a sober reality. There are far too many of us who are not normal. Those who are normal should (for their own safety) very carefully assess and review their ineractions with their countrymen. Their lives literally depend on it.

Honestly, I dont know why Nigerians love and appreciate military brutality. This action happens a lot and we kinda have accepted it as normal. Our military behave like they are above the law.

Ofunaofu:
So sad


But where was the Nigerian police?

How come the police weren't called upon first?

There's no reported case of external aggression, so why was the military the first to get there instead of the police?

Is the Nigerian military now trained to settle community issues? 

No one is asking these pertinent questions.

While we condemn these acts, this could have been avoided. 

Our military is now getting too involved in acts that are under the purview of the Nigerian police force.

Nigeria is a failed country na
It is a total failure with no shame. The country has no single sector working

Nigeria is a disgrace to humanity. Nigeria has not been able to get anything right for the past 60 years. Over populated with humans who have low IQ. Nigeria is the most useless place to live. I have never seen such a failed entity that keeps fighting her own citizens. No one kills Nigerians more than Nigerians. Nigerians are not at war with external factors but with internal factors.
Politicians keep looting the country and the security arms keep killing everyone.
Soldiers in Nigeria behave like this. They have done this in south east and south south a lot. Such a useless and painful country that UK created. This is why I dislike that country called UK and wish her downfall. I wish UK will fall becus of creating a country like Nigeria which has became a human disaster.
Each day I live here, I am scared. If u dont die by kidnappers, u die by security men. I mean, some people killed ur soldiers, ur acclaimed world best soldiers, that wasnt shameful enough. U could have proven to be tactical by conducting proper investigation and capture who did that and take them to court as the law demand. When a high profile police man was killed, Police didnt go to the community to burn it down and kill everyone, they rather did investigation and captured the cultist behind it and he was killed. But soldiers are so shameless, they do this like local cult group.
The greatest pain god ever did to me was making me a Nigerian. Even Ghana is far better. Omo, we die like chickens here. Dam!

Angelfrost:
Only a naive and dumb Nigerian will be shocked by all these.

Senators have been padding budgets for years now... Even before APC.


That's why they always eagerly look forward to Budget season.

It's just because someone had the Indiscretion to blow the whistle that everyone is shouting... Wetin don dey happen for years now.


The 3 arms of government in Nigeria are the most corrupt in the universe! No jokes.

N$gerians are born cr#minals. Give this country to China or US or German to handle our politics and public services and watch as Nigeria becomes the richest country on earth becus the resources here dey choke.

SoNature:
It is God's blessing because he has achieved something his mates (mostly those in the same class in school) couldn't.

Naija politicians are not blessings from god. Plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
these creatures called Nigerian politicians as a result of their poor governance, many have died due to wack health care system. Pls, let stop attributing rubbish material gains as god's blessings

SoNature:
Insensitive? Yes!

You can accuse him of being flippant and stolid at the same time because he doesn't know where to and where not to crack jokes.

Bitter? No

Akpabio isn't a bitter person, please. God has really blessed him so he has no reason to be bitter.

God blessed Nigerian politicians who are terrible at governance but richer than every other politicians on earth? How is that god blessing?

[quote author=NLCreator post=128772748][/quote]Nigerian politicians are waste of human and material resources. They are lucky to find them selves in such a country where citizens care so much about their tribe and ethnic groups no matter how much of suffering they have undergone in life. So, Naija politicians are the luckiest leaders on earth and the best job on earth.

YOU ARE AN AIR HEAD.

You know NOTHING about black countries, and their rate of development.

All you know is what you see on CNN, so SHUT UP YOUR DIRTY, STINKING LIPS THERE.

Ignorant school dropout who thinks he knows ‘black countries’.

A school drop out? Hahaha, baba, I have been to at least 5 countries, chill okay, people like you who insult others here are actually the low lives. I work for a US company as a software developer and the company is basically into toursim. I think this should give you a picture of the type of person u are replying to. I am cool traveled bro. Take a chill pill.
