UK has spent more than enough to acquire hats for mama Charlie. the only world citizen living a tax free life with her family and extended family benefiting.
with this Nigeria is still learning the ropes.

the drive got what he bargained for. he caught by reasonable Nigerians and was dealt with decisively so no point arresting him any more cos he would have learnt his lessons.

JasonScoolari:
Nigerians have been warned yet again about the dangers involved in seeking greener pastures outside the country








What a useless statement.

Please if you have your way, or you're about to leave this glorified shithole, please do that quickly. The shithole is getting worse every day and one idiot is still telling us to stay back so that the lawless SARS, BH boys, and marauding fulani herdsmen can play with our lives like N5 buns.

I want to believe you're still in that shithole not going out but advising other to go suffer. in the shithole you do gari right but in the paradise you sort out for you end up doing the real shit, eat with joy. poo stinks here, I can smell it.

good analysis, nice judgement. calling out the game changer to up it game for the giants are really awakening to the game trend.
nice one there. to me it isn't about brand but quality, but when quality is also offering quantity then I've gotten more than I'm bargaining for. all in all its ain't about their name but what they can offer per time.

potential socioeconomical tool brain to drive and develop the country in the western world (Kalashnikov of Russia comes to mind and his AK series).

On the other page, a young man who went to watch football shot by stray bullet and on this page,a yahoo boy.There is something fundamentally wrong with the society if everyone is being called a Yahoo boy.

my bro this thing is becoming worrisome. my wife handled a job for some clients who traveled into abeokuta for a function, she was surprised to hear their younger bro complain of sars invading his car telling him "we know you are one of them just give us our own share and we leave".
the went on to make them realise he is no yahoo boy but he is legitimately employed on proving his legitimacy they end up telling him to at least give them something with all to the chilling a/c in his car. even now to be legitimate na wahala.

Opiletool:
My brother, the thing just tire me. Nobody perfect for the language but at least, e get some errors wey dey obvious na, simply edit it or tell the OP to do so before pushing it to FP. It's getting out of hand.
And na those mumu threads dey plenty pass for FP, especially those petty celebrity gossips.

my I just too tire for nairaland dis days. it no longer touches life it use. craps now hold front seat on front page, if not snake killed in someone's television it will be the one killed in someone else's DVD or some celeb competing with their bom or a hefemale/heshe that be on front page. nairaland is only a shadow of itself.

no samples of your goods.

And you had to quote everything to type this??

and you expect me to start editing? Ibeg me I no dey for wahala.

Nigerians Complain That There Are No NTA Hausa, Igbo & Yoruba, But Are There?


1) The BBC and Nigerian languages

The BBC World Service Radio started broadcasting in Hausa in March 1957. The fact that the Hausa Service was the only Nigerian language service that the BBC had confused a lot of Nigerians and they asked why there were no BBC Igbo or BBC Yoruba services. For example, see the thread below:

Why Don't We Have BBC Igbo Or Yoruba Service
https://www.nairaland.com/1254057/why-dont-bbc-igbo-yoruba


I tried to explain to them (on that thread) that Hausa was probably the most widely spoken language in West Africa (it is spoken in Nigeria, Niger, Benin, Ghana, Cameroon, etc.) and that this was the primary reason that there was a Hausa Service.

[img]http://naijachronicles.files./2019/03/hausa.png[/img]

I also explained that the BBC had experienced massive budget cuts since 1995 (I was a short wave/BBC addict from 1989 till 2010) and that it was quite expensive to set up a short wave radio network.

The complaints increased when the BBC launched a Hausa Service TV channel.

BBC Launches Hausa TV News Programme

2) BBC Igbo, BBC Pidgin and BBC Yoruba.

Eventually, technnolgy evolved and this made it easy for the BBC to launch Igbo, Pidgin English and Yoruba services. These services are mainly propagated via social media (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube). The services were launched in 2018.

3) And now the criticism has shifted to the NTA.

Many Nigerians complain that the BBC "came to Nigeria in 2018 and started broadcasting in Nigerian languages, meanwhile the NTA has not been able to broadcast in Nigerian languages". Is this true?

4) The NTA and Nigerian languages

The truth is that the NTA has been broadcasting in Nigerian languages for more than 40 years.

The NTA had 3 TV stations in Lagos in the 1980s and '90s: NTA2 Channel 5, NTA Channel 10 and NTA Channel 7. Channel 5 was the youth oriented/entertainment station, Channel 10 was the adult oriented/talk station and Channel 7 was the community station.

Channel 7 had news in Yoruba (Irohin) and Egun (Linlin) and they competed with Lagos Television (LTV) for Yoruba shows like Tan'mo, Fadeyi Oloro and F'eyi K'ogbon.

Similarly, NTA stations across the country also showed the news and other programmes in the Nigerian language that was dominant in their locality.


5) NTA Hausa, NTA Igbo and NTA Yoruba

Right, so the NTA has been showing Nigerian language programmes for decades, but does it have dedicated Nigerian language channels? Is there an NTA Hausa, an NTA Igbo or an NTA Yoruba? Of course there are.

[img]http://naijachronicles.files./2019/03/2019-03-31-11.29.03.png[/img]

The NTA partnered with a Chinese satellite TV provider called StarTimes. They created a joint venture company called NTA-StarTimes. The NTA has 30% shares in the company, while StarTimes has 70% shares. The purpose of the company is to provide digital pay TV services to Nigerians.

[img]http://naijachronicles.files./2019/03/ntastar.jpg[/img]

NTA-StarTimes is the platform that hosts the NTA Multi-Channel service. The channels on the NTA Multi-Channel service are:

-- NTA News 24 Channel 101
– NTA Entertainment Channel 105
– NTA Knowledge Channel 525
– NTA Sports 24 Channel 628
– NTA Parliament Channel 325
– NTA Hausa Channel 106
– NTA Igbo Channel 108
– NTA Yoruba Channel 107


Therefore, there is an NTA Hausa (Nagari Nakowa), NTA Igbo Ezu and NTA Ikanni Oodua.

Some Nigerians are still confused, as can be seen from the conversation below.

However, I blame the NTA. The NTA has a lot of features that many Nigerians are not aware of and this is because they are not social media savy.

For example, Mrs Aisha Buhari visited the United States in 2016, but many people claimed that she was not really in the United States. She had an interview with the VOA in Washington, but these people claimed that it was fake and that the NTA would have shown her in the US if she was really there.

Meanwhile, the NTA had a reporte in Mrs Buhari's delegation and he provided regulate reports about Mrs Buhari's activities in the US and these reports were shown on the 9 o'clock news.

The problem was that there were no videos of these reports online. The NTA buried them in 45 minutes long YouTube videos called "Network News". Nobody has the data to watch a 45 minutes long news video.

The NTA has a lot of new programmes, reports and features but they are not on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Nairaland and YouTube) and nowadays, you don't exist if you are not aggressively pushing your services on social media.

(Meanwhile, Radio Nigeria has been broadcasting in Nigerian languages since 1950 and has had a community radio station, called RN 3 or Bond FM, since 1989 and it broadcasts in Hausa, Igbo, Pidgin and Yoruba).

well researched and a well done job.
very educating and informative.
Kudos.

no side effects except you're an adult.

Gosh..

that is the nairaland we find ourselves surfing today, coming to check and monitor the stupidity of celebrity.
I there is need for that ig is there where they have created a room for 'emselves to exhibit their folly.

if this can be replicated in abeokuta. to teach a good lesson to those nuisance of a rider. after committing their atrocity you will never search them to find a kobo on them only God knows how money made always go off them. I really hate this bike of a thing as a means of transportation.

BlackfireX:
Chai gone are those days , NL was filled with matured comments and educative topics.

it is highly tiring. the more reason, I became inactive on facebook but here were are all the nuisance on facebook have migrated to nairaland.
the MODs are also not help as result of them send irrelevant and dumb topic to the front page thereby encouraging more of such post.
if only intelligent post or topics makes front page you see people work hard to come with great right up.
I remember when training for different skills was everywhere on nairaland, my wife was a beneficiary, it went a long way in sharpening us even for sustainability but here we are today.
nairaland is living by its name, living off it's past glory no more touching lives like it use to.

those kids party clown costume.

BlackfireX:
Please how is this news ?



Something is wrong with NL...

this is what the MOD has turned the forum to.

lightening don't accompany thunder but the other way round.

xtophy1:
and she cannot last d next 5 years without having neck problem... Every damn tin is nt about money

if at ten kay per day she would be afloat before two years if at all she knows what she's doing and would have employ others except she under labour for someone else.

another 4years of pain, ranting and wailing.

majority leader wailers association party nigeria.

most women takes the course and some stupid men also do.

Eddee:
Ghost Rider

yeah! thank a bunch for that reminder.

stanleyravos:
thanks for your contributions, but is there room for such compensation in our constitution, if yes to the tone of how much, and where in the constitution

the constitution does not need to state this. it is sure obvious the court know the right thing to do if at all the party logo and name was left either intentionally or by sheer omission, it with the court jurisdiction to award compensation for loses.
mere contesting and losing an election it clear either the state or Inec would compensate the loser (the more reason we had seventy +, micro and atom political parties contesting for presidency in the last general election).
for all its expenses incurred, if the court find a genuine case in this it has the power to award compensation. the truth is pdm is not after cancellation of election but compensation from Inec but it would only put its case forward from the angle of political reasoning then court would help it, make the case civil leading to compensation.
the court would not call for a fresh election for party that will not poll a single vote thereby wasting billions of Naira when you can compensate it with less than 10% of the entire running cost (a 100 million or less) and everyone will go home happy. so many logical reason would come to play in the court hence resulting in judges decision.

right decision better now than later as compare to Mikel.

feminism another time bomb ticking gradually waiting for the right time to detonate.
this one problem wait to hit the sociopolitical system of Nigeria like insurgency and nigerdelta restiveness if not managed properly now.

stanleyravos:
Good day fellow Nigerian, with the case brought by the people Democratic movement and his presidential candidate before the tribunal i think they have a very nice case, am not a fan of any political party, what is the case all about, their party name was unlawfully omitted from the presidential election ballot paper! Yakubu can not tell Nigerian that he is not aware of the situation. the questions Nigerians should be asking is who is the petitional, why this arrangement and those it which to favour, answer to the first question is simple this presidential candidate was the same pastor that led some group of northern Christian to buhari in asorock if you can remember, answer to the second question is simple let's ring the election and see the evidence they will bring to the tribunal if it will be enough for them to be declared winner then the system will be apply for the elections to be cancel! from the PDP petition am not sure inec will be ready to call 400 witness, let's see as it goes, but i see PDM appeal being attended to before that of pdp

either you are in support of any political party or not it obvious you are biased. you are not in support of party but their/the candidate that surge from them.
the case is simple by error of omission they were disenfranchised, the next line of action is compensation on the part of Inec and the state putting into consideration this party and it candidate might not have polled a vote as against winning.
why cry fowl when not in even five constituency might know the candidate or it's party. calling for cancellation of election for an unrecognized party and candidate is off it. all that matters now is compensating the party and it's candidate.

still the telecom will tell you they are not making money.
the more reason adenuga and Co. will keep getting richer per second billings and many Nigerians will get poorer per second billings.
miscellaneous and sundries expenses are the real killers of the masses.

trouble dey sleep jeje, yanga dey go wake ham.
that is their trade mark, intolerance.
my advice is the son of God should not court the daughter of the devil because he would never be at peace with his father-in-law.
