mecussey:@mecussey, The sport channels numbered 1-9 on Nilesat are not Supersport channels but art sport channels. To open them u need the art keys. |
Bamsyle:Make I remix the Ninja Bike song to suit the occasion: Chorus Ninja Bike O!, shè u wan make I retire, Power Bike O!, Shè u wan make I retire, Okay O! Zoom Zoom I dey retire, from being an area father (repeat till fade) ![]() |
Haven't listened to the song yet, but it's not only d'banj that has senseless lines in his song. A lot of musicians both foreign and Local sing rubbish and still sell cos they know that the recipe (especially in Naija) for a successful song is mainly getting the beats right. If u get a beat that people can groove to, whether the lyrics don't make sense wont matter. Though we are beginning to be conscious of the songs content (hence the popularity of Musicians like Asa), songs with senseless lyrics but good beats have and would continue to sell. |
1. Definitely LL Cool J ![]() 2. Snoop Dogg (made up my mind about his need to retire when I watched his "Sexual Seduction Video" ![]() 3. P.Diddy |
I'd say mine are: Snood Dogg- Doggy Style Krayzie Bone- Thug Mentality |
Well if they improve and maintain there current price structure the Nigerian viewer will be the benefactor. I just hope the soon will not be too long. I wish Hitv all the best. |
soloqy:I agree with some of your points but I still disagree on the experience issue. You gave an example with Starcomms and Visafone to buttress your point. Visafone are failing not because they lack experience but because they probably didn't setup well technically. My example is that of MTN and Glo. Mtn had prior experience in South Africa (even before GSM was introduced into Nigeria) and they had a head start here as well. You cant honestly tell me from Glo's inception till now (2008) MTN's Service has at any time been better than Glo's. I like the fact that Hitv has forced DStv to introduce cheaper packages, I aplaud them for winning Numerous football rights and giving us an alternative to DStv who have been milking us. Though I have small reservations cause they are also winning exclusive rights so what stops them from jacking up there prices in future if profits aren't up to per with their expectations? (its funny that Government in trying to break DStv's monopoly created another Monopoly in Hitv). |
It really irritates and annoys me when people use the fact that DSTV has been in existence for over10 years as an excuse for HITV's poor services. When you are going into a business that has other established competitors, you have to look at the competition, learn from their positives and mistakes then come out with a better or at per service.The fact that DSTV has been operating for over ten years doesn't mean that people have to wait for ten years before enjoying the same quality of service from HITV. Moreover, Toyin Subair was part of the so called "headstart" years DSTV has over HITV. |
@jdoss Thanks for the info. I might go for the MTN Package as they have better 3g coverage (compared to Glo), plus Glo's 3gb monthly limit is a deal killer!!! ![]() |
@jdoss Please what package are you using (postpaid or prepaid), and you mentioned that there is no monthly download limit. But ( I think ) I read from the MTN site that there is a 3gb monthly limit. Could you please confirm this. Thanks. |
http://www.mtnonline.com/fastlink/infopack.asp I was wondering how good MTN's Fastlink 3.5G service is. Could anyone who has used or is using MTN's Fastlink 3.5G service to browse the internet on their computers give info on it's reliability and average data speeds. *MTN did not give the tariff for prepaid customers on their site |
Try uninstalling it in safe mode: When you turn on your computer, before the windows logo shows press the F8 key, a menu should appear. Choose safe mode and allow it to boot, then try uninstalling it. Search and download the latest version of Bluesoleil (v.6.6 I think that's latest). It's a software for external bluetooth dongles which includes the drivers for the device. It's fully compatible with Vista cos that's what I'm using. *the trial version has a 5mb data transfer limit ( If you search hard enough you can get the cracked version ).Hope this helps |
If you buy a new system (whether desktop or laptop) that comes with any Original Operating System installed it is the full Version (it might require you to register online within certain number of days or else it will deny u access till you do so). The cost of the OS is bundled with the cost of the system (which is why systems that come without an OS pre-installed are cheaper). It's the 3rd party (other) software installed e.g Anti-virus software, Media playing software e.t.c. that are usually trial or half featured versions. |
Hey, this seems like an interesting hubby to pick. dvbguy, please what are the typical download speeds you get (say for example how long does it take you to grab a 700mb Movie?) |
urfriend:My guy, check the topic of the post before posting your reply. The thread is about which amongst them is more entertaining and I gave my opinion. You on the other hand seize every opportunity you get to advertise for HITV. How does being a tv station make HITV automatically more entertaining?. From my post you can figure out I wasn't dissing Nigezie cos I said negative things about others too. You keep saying people don't support HITV. Because they are Nigerian no mean sey make we accept all and every bullshit they throw at us!. Just my two cents again |
My two Cents- Nigizie: Innovative as the first Nigerian Music Station,but mostly show songs by mediocre (relatively unknown) Nigerian Musicians. Soundcity: Started well, should have developed into a Music station long ago instead of just a programme. Used to show a lot more Music now seems to be more interested in interviews and events coverage (less music videos) Hip tv: In my opinion best Programme for the latest news in the Nigerian Music Industry, they show very little Music Videos Primetime: STOPPED WATCHING YEARS AGO!. Are does Three stooges still fooling their ages and showing mostly songs with a big Kenny's Music logo at the bottom right? ![]() urfriend::oNa wa for you o!, u dey search nairaland ne? e b like sey HITV dey pay u plenty money to protect their interest. Abi u be part owner of Hi-entertainment? ![]() |
holyghost:I agree with you that they (the operators) face difficulties, but that's not an excuse cos all the difficulties you mentioned have been existing before they started business. Lack of Power for example has no link with the kind of bandwidth the ISP's provide. It all boils down to NCC not doing their job properly. Why should an operator advertise Broadband internet access at up to 3mb/s and give not more than 100kb/s e.t.c If the cost of doing budiness in Nigeria is High and an ISP can only provide 100kb/s then that is what they should advertise and charge for accordingly. *It's sad that people that pay for Broadband internet access are getting dial-up grade speed (that is if the connection is even constant) and are happy about it (as many posters have been doing ). Still surprised people aren't suing these ISP's asses, oh well, "Only in NIgeria" |
There were quite a few of 'em that I liked, here goes: Sniper wolf- Metal Gear Solid: Ps1 Nemesis(wasn't too difficult to beat, just scared the shit out of ya)- Resident Evil 3 Boss- Metal Gear Solid 3: Ps2 Emperor Garuda- Blue Shadow: Nes |
If Both computers have wireless cards, u can connect both through a peer to peer network. You have to make one of the computers the host, then the other one connects to it. Use the one that has Vista installed on it because the steps involved to make it the host are easier. Go to Help on the start menu and type "wireless network" for info on how to create a peer to peer network. Hope this helps. |
@Infoseye Well done for the info u provided, but dont go aroung telling people stuff you are not sure of (or maybe u dont know or understand what an OS is). Windows Xp and Windows Vista Cannot, and will never be able to be ported to work on a psp. What you have is a Windows Xp and Vista theme designed for the psp (with stuff like the real OS icons and small stuff like calculator!, if it was a complete OS why Dem no put Microsoft Office inside ).and please stop yabbing people telling you the FACTS! |
Is it just me or has anyone noticed how Governments are biased towards certain issues. Everyone keeps talking about Monopoly being bad for Business cos the consumer is short-changed. How come that principle doesn't apply to television and other areas. I mean if companies are allowed to bid for and obtain sole rights to certain channels or events, isn't that creating a monopoly?. Why wont a fixed price be set and any company with the money can pay for the channels or events, wont that be fair practice! Cos that sure as hell is the only way competition will thrive in The DTH market. If DSTV, HITV, TRENDTV, MYTV all had the same opportunity to get any channel or event on there bouquet, believe me everyone "for dey watch PREMIERSHIP, DISCOVERY, e.tc. cos the price must have gone down by now, " |
Wind am well- Ikechukwu featuring Don Jazzy and D'banj P-Square's Videos from Say your love --- to --- Do me Kolomental- Faze. I chose this one even though the production quality could have been better, the concept was spot on (The quality improved in the other videos of the other songs on the album). There are others I enjoy watching, but I believe Storm records, Mo'hits records and P-Square have raised the bar in the quality of Nigerian Music Videos |

Movie Name: Dem don arrive Plot: The son of the Grand Alien Master wants to dislodge his father and rule the Universe. He is told of a strange land (whose inhabitants call themselves the Giants of Africa) on the planet Earth, where anything is possible through the use of a Mystical Power called "JUJU". He schemes with his ally (the second in command) and travels to Nigeria to take this "JUJU" and use it to achieve his objective. Staring: Aliens- Pete Edochie (Grand Alien Master), Segun Arinze (Second in command), Jim Iyke (Renegade son of the Grand Alien Master), Hank Anuku (the Grand Alien Master's Body guard), Humans- Richard Mofe Damijo / Liz Benson (President and First Lady of Nigeria), Kanayo O Kanayo / Clem Ohameze (Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff and his deputy- Both are killed in the battle with alien forces. Na their mustache qualify dem for the role), Nonso Diobi (The Hero of the movie- a Young colonel in the army who disobeys orders and saves the day, Chioma Chukwuka (Nonso Diobi's love interest- Kidnapped by the Aliens), Sam Loco (the first Nigerian to be killed in the movie: Opening scene- gets drunk and is crushed by a space ship that is landing ), Finally, Ini Edo (the woman that bears the child of the Grand Alien Master's Son at the end of the movie, So the Movie go get part two!). |
I agree in totality with you. The Nigerian Police needs serious overhauling, it's like the police force don't know their duty and have relegated themselves to being the lapdogs of the executive. The other agencies are just barking dogs (no bite). On the Supreme Court judgment, I honestly don't expect the ruling to be contrary to the Appeal court's (they'll probably sight: "In the interest of the Nation"; God, I hate that statement), but Miracles do happen and I hope for Nigeria's sake the right judgment is made. |
@ Sky Blue Sky Blue:My point exactly. That's why I say the judiciary has to start prosecuting the people reponsible. U seem to have lost faith in Nigeria. I'm optimistic because after the 2003 elections, only the Anambra State Governorship elections where nullified (and that was politically doctored to remove Chris Ngige + it took the tribunal 3 years to rule). So in view of that, at least some things have started changing ![]() |
The new slogan now is democracy is striving in Nigeria. The Judiciary have tried to some extent in their own part, I have only one grouse with them and the general Nigerian mentality of "in the interest of the Nation". We have had elections nullified on the grounds of exclusion (Kogi, Adamawa), thats all good and fine. What about the people responsible for the exclusion?. The supreme court ruled INEC had no powers to exclude a candidate before the elections but they went ahead and did that (in defiance of a court ruling), shouldn't that be a criminal offense?. If the people responsible for bungling our elections time and again are not prosecuted, what would serve as a deterrent to the next person put in charge of elections?. Same goes for Public officials who steal Government funds. In the past years many cases of corrupt enrichment have been brought to the limelight and in "the interest of the Nation" the people involved are asked to return the money (or only some of it) and the issue swept under the carpet. In my opinion, stealing is stealing no matter who you are or what your status is in the society, returning the money is not enough. The individuals have to be prosecuted and jail time considered to serve as a deterrent. If I find myself in public office, what would stop me or you from stealing if I know that the highest that can happen if I get caught is to return part of the money? The Judiciary have done well but I think it's time they step it up and start prosecuting the people responsible for our sorry situation as a Nation. |
I suggest you go here: www.apple.com/itunes/download and get the latest itunes software. Install it and hook your ipod to the computer. start itunes and it should give you an option to restore your ipod (requires you to be online). This process wipes everything on the ipod (there is no other solution), it might take some time to finish (depending on the speed of the internet connection). |
Go to www.orbitdownloader.com and get the free software. Its a download manager and has extra features like downloading flash animations in webpages and embedded videos (including those from youtube). |
. Really appreciate it.
