@ALL ctl has won d rights 2 show d pl and cl because d rights is paid by showsports which open der services free 2 air only in nigeria. hitv lost d case in court

@Ochukss

Whats the source of the news? Legally, Hitv has the rights alone for the EPL in Nigeria. There are laws covering FTA broadcasting as well and CTL just cant connect to showsports and start to broadcast the EPL to the public where they dont have the jurisdiction. Or has the law changed?

Surely this is not a small case so if HITV lost as you say, the media would have been awash with the news by now.

@solo1ng1
Temmytanny doesnt have to be another urfriend to point out an obvious illegality.

donaremu:
Hello Temmytanny, No but I am not happy because HiTV is holding their loyal subscribers to ransom, just like DSTV did some years back. 6K no Spanish League, International Friendly matches, no quality movie channel, ,

@donaremu,

I have no sympathy for Hitv as well since the management is bent on self destruction. Let them keep charging 6k for the nonsense they show and watch their business go down the drain. Their only hope is to get back to 4k subscription or at the most 4.5k.

I heard they still gave them the Ten thousand dollars match bonus(which was supposed to be a winning bonus).

Can anyone confirm this? Imagine giving a bunch of unserious people 1.5million each for putting over 150million Nigerians into misery?

While ASUU is still on strike because they are looking for increased pay. What are we telling our kids?

Thats it! Nigeria is not going to any world cup. Why should she? The person that facilitated that payment so quickly, must be probed and prosecuted for spending tax payers' money recklessly.

Stop darkening cousel by words without knowledge. The authorities could not even recognise Jesus until he was pointed out by judas. if all the pastors keep a low profile like Jesus asked us to, they wouldnt need the mopols and bodyguards.

Awesome post. The highlighted part. Simply splendid.

Is this a new Phrase or slogan that you just learnt or what?

You have said it exactly as this in a number of other topics.

Bellview PR!!

Exactly

Red shirts ke? did you watch the match through B&W spectacles?   
Tunisians wore white (numbers in red though), no? 

Can you blame her for *seeing Red* ? Really

koolchicco:
$10,000 for throwing away the WC ticket?

Its strange how whenever the Nigerian government and officials promise improved  largesse to our sports men/women, thats the time they fail woefully.

Wont they just stay away with their bad luck and let the sports people perform without being distracted by the thoughts of earnings?

Some weeks back when other Nations took advantage of the fifa week for friendlies, the fool, Amodu said we didnt need to play any friendly. This is the result.

Our Players were rusty.

I dont know which match the person that kept saying "Taye Taiwo has been excellent", was watching.

That man is a fool. A mumu is a mumu even if he is playing football abroad or not.

You just need to look at his face after one of his blunders to see how clueless he is(almost like an slowpoke).

Its not the first time Taye has cost us a match. Against this same Tunisia in Nations cup of 2004, he lost concentration and allowed them pass the ball behind him which resulted to a goal.

He always loses concentration and terrible at marking. I cant see where a footballer can be celebrated only for knowing how to strike the ball and nothing else. When its time to be a little intelligent, our players(taye leading the pack) go on vacation.

These following  people must not play for this Nation again.

Taye Taiwo, Olofinjana, Mikel(until he steps up).

Amd the coach, Wait, I have to think up something we need to do to him.

what a terrible team

Ovie and Dannielove, should be there in the top 6.

They are better than jon and shim.

I think this show is going to throw up an undeserving person as the winner.

Cause as long as the persons friends and family and neighbours keep voting, he/she would remain in the game.

rafcrown:
When we talk about fraudsters and scamming we need to know its leraned and its origin can be traced to USA/UK and Co
When THEY TALK ABOUT origin of AIDS they made unsuccessful attempt to trace the origin to Africa
The truth of the matter is the that They wish to use all means at their disposal to tarnish the image of Nigeria BBC -CNN and others
The former richest man in the world currently on trial for SCIENTIFIC FRAUD is not a Nigerian
If he is a Nigerian -every morning BBC and CNN will be covering the news with extra vigour for the next decade to prove bias point
BBC today reported about credit card fraud in the UK TODAY-6/09/09.
At the end of the story a senior police officer said the purchased goods are sent to Nigeria
Is Nigeria the only country they send the goods purchased to?hE SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED AT LEAST 2 OR 3 OTHER COUNTRIES
Its their calculated attempt to link any bad thing-scamming and other vices to Nigeria and Africa
TO conclude all over the world most especially in USA/UK /EU countries we have terrible criminals under reported in national interest.
People giving Nigeria bad image also should desist-Corrupt politicians and 419ers etc.Enough is enough.Work and manage,i go better.

This is the kind of comment that keeps us rooted to where we are. In a cesspool of rot and decay and fraud.

Such denial.

You didnt read about the Nigerians caught in Ghana(yes ghana), who relocated to ghana because the Address Verification Systems for IPS(AVS) which online merchants have put in place, would not allow them do any fraudulent credit card transactions from Nigeria anymore.
Those countries didnt just wake up to decide to give Nigeria a 'bad name'.

Any email that is sent, the address or location of the person can be determined via an AVS or IP address.

When they recieve 1million scam letters and 999k of them is determined to come from Nigeria, what do you expect them to think or feel?

People have decided to look everywhere else but inwards.

You dont love Nigeria more than I do. And the only way to change is to tell yourself the truth.

You start by telling people like Thisday Newspapers that they are an embarrasment to Nigeria for inviting Olu Maintain to the States to sing Yahooze to distinguished guests. With all the 419 connotations.

You start by telling people like Kennis Music that they are a shame to this nation for promoting that music to high heavens and for also digging up another drifter called Kenny handsome to make a mockery of the whole Nation with even more decadent lyrics that exalted 419 to another pedestal.

We start by telling the Board in charge of  Nollywood(The main culprits in the 'name spoiling saga') to urge them to become responsible in making movies. And if they refuse to become responsible, boycot those Nollywood movies and sensitise your kids and family to stop watching em.

Go a little further to urge DSTV to vet those movies they get from Nollywood and when the film makers start getting their movies rejected from Dstv and losing revenue from that, they would surely become more responsible and creative in their endeavours.

We all start by making a shift from this path of celebrating wealth in such a way that every teenager has an inordinate ambition of driving a 20million naira car in a year of getting out of school.

This would do for a start. Its not just the government. Its starts from where you are.

afam4eva:
Why will i have to pay bribe to get my ward into a nigerian university if admission was based on merit. So, is that the fault of nigerian citizens? The problem started from the very top of nigeria's political system.

If you refuse to pay it, and every other parent refuses, soon enough, they would understand that they cant make a living out of it and then revert to the correct order of things.

Thats why I said its an internal surgery that is needed. Its not about the outside world.Its about us. The mentality must change

I cannot order anything from Amazon and ship to Nigeria. Expansys UK turns down my credit card order for a HTC Touch Pro 2  because - as the apologetic customer rep said - '99% of credit card orders made on the Expansys website from Nigeria are  fraudulent'.
Ebay sellers are EXTREMELY wary about shipping to Nigeria. Most will not touch any orders from Nigeria with a 10 foot pole.
Sony didn't do this to us. We Nigerians did it to ourselves.
Fix your bloody country first before being self righteous.

Funny how 419 glorifying music like Yahoozee, Maga Don Pay and I Go Chop Your Dollar are major chart toppers in Nigeria.

My point exactly.

And to think that Two-faced Newspaper called Thisday with its equally reckless owner, Had Olu Maintain singing yahoozee and plenty- plenty dollar to Collin Powel.

And that was at an event claiming to showcase the 'best' out of Nigeria.

I can only Imagine how Collin Powel would have felt on getting home and someone explained to him the meaning of the song he was listening to.

Y'all should just shelve all the self righteousness. This is going to continue for a very long time to come.

Its not just the government. Its Kennis music that promoted Yahooze with all the 419 glorification and as if that wasnt enough, they dug up another vagrant called Kenny Handsome to make some more embarrasing music glorifying 419 to high heavens.

Instead of that sending alarm bells to the deadened senses of Nigerians, they celebrate the decadent music and even invite them to functions like Thisday Festivals.

Whatever a man/people sows, he/they reap.

~You're so blinded by all the negative circumstances that brought about the marriage,you've not given yourself the chance of Loving her or feeling happy w/ her. . i'm sure there are things you like about her. . you said yourself she loves you. . if you feel obligated married to her,might as well make the most of it instead of spending the next few years miserable & making the life of your wife much more miserable!!


~Bear in mind for as long as you hold this resentment towards her for the decision you were supposedly foced to make. . you will not be happy!!

This is so feminine. The font type and color and the response as well

for those who have slow bandwidth, here is the scripted version of the add.


      BERNIE BUNCALAN
       (Rumor monger)
sitting on a chair in front of a sony viao laptop,
  Dear playstation, i got a tip, you are making PS3 299, confirm or denny?

      Kelvin Butler,
   (Director of Rumor confirmation)
 comes out  apparently from Sony headquaters

  Bernie, you cant beleive everything you read on the internet, otherwise i will be a Nigeria millionaire by now. 299 for the sweetest gaming bluray playing movie downloading system in the world would be fanstastic,  sighs. no comment.

     BERNIE BUNCALAN
   (Rumor monger, )
       But all that stuff is 299?

 Kelvin Butler,
   (Director of Rumor confirmation)
         huh?

      BERNIE BUNCALAN
      (Rumor monger, )
  Right behind you?

       Kelvin Butler,
    (Director of Rumor confirmation)
 m sorry u said sumthing?
 
At the end of the add,
it shows the new ps3 slogan
   IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING
PS3 NOW $299,

I am looking at this advert and am wondering(again).

These people get millions of mails from "Billionaires/Millionaires" in Nigeria offering them a chance to get rich quick.

Its the talk of the world and its going to remain the same for a very long time to come.

One even has to spend valuable time deleting 419 letters from my own fellow Nigerians trying to scam the hell out of me.

That line in the advert as trascribed above *Bernie, you cant beleive everything you read on the internet, otherwise i will be a Nigeria millionaire by now* , would make sense to any internet, technology or gadget user abroad cause they would have recieved one of those letters from Nigeria.

Its sad it had to be us ( yet again) .But the people outside(the world) are not the problem but the people inside.

Am sure some people will jump in (yet again) to rain abuses but its time to think critically. The raving and ranting will not solve or stop this.

Its an internal surgery that is needed. I will say it again, there are posts in this Nairaland where some people where glorifying 419 and excusing the people involved in it. That alone would make any individual or Nation stereotype us.

manickal:
i'm going to flush my PSP down the toilet right away

You are on your own o , bros

Now all these other stories about Bellview has made this a very scary issue.

Its about Lives here. We dont want the authorities to make us regret and mourn for things that could otherwise have been stopped.

Are there no limits to the luggage a plane can carry?

What if they decide to appear competent with ppl's luggages and start to overload those planes?

We ought to be thinking right now on how to prevent any "unforseen/foreseen" circumstances right now.

The authorities must wake up to their responsibilities. The complaints, protests and embarrasments, are enough reasons to clamp down on Bellview till they get their acts together.

Lets not easily forget the past.

ps
Anyone know how or where to forward letters of complaint? I think everyone affected recently by Bellview should do so. You might be saving a life.

Wow, this is something very refreshing and funny.  

You have great potentials stacked in that mind of yours(Film writing(not Nollywood), advert writing, film directing)

Though I sympatise with you for your ordeals but you succeded to make fun out of it.

You succeded in exposing the nonsense at Bellview without sounding bitter nor vindictive.

donaremu:
@Ochuckss, is CTL offering cable services in Lagos? I know they are in the eastern and southern part of Nigeria

I wonder too. I thought Ochuckss lives in Lagos

Ochukss:
dey have recent movies like heroes.i paid only 2100 per month.now i know i have been wasting my 6k on hicriminals

There is a legal battle about to ensue. Hitv still has sole rights to premiership in Nigeria. If CTL dont have an agreement with HITV, then they are in for some trouble.

ekonibaje:
Mreds dis is just kangaroo award,I promise u ,Hitv is planng to reduce der subcription to 5000 naira,and also put 1,900 to consideration.Tony subair is a nice guy to meet any day.D guy as forgettg dat is a nigeria,ebutte meta guy to d call, when he saw the prospect of own pay view.Mr Toyin subair is mr money too much,`````````He just start dey shakara.

Whats the source of the news? Besides, anything above N4, 500 and it would still be a hard sell and not worth it. I will not pay subscription at N5,000. The only way i may consider it is if its 4.5k. That is an acceptable percentage of increase. Not 50% increase at a go.

You guys wait for the weekend for world cup qualifiers and you would feel like throwing your hitv into the gutter. DSTV on the other hand , will have it all.

I wouldnt go to a 'church' called *Jehovah Sharp Sharp*.

Before I saw this research,I always doubted the popular opinion of shortage of men.
Any average looking gal can tell you she has at least 4-5 serious chasers at every point in her life.
Where then is the shortage?

The shortage is in the ready and marriagable(eligible) ones.

Just as there are many girls, sisis, women everyhwhere but very few wives, so also there are many men, bobos and boys and very few husbands.

The question is, in which category do you fit in?

Generaly speaking, there is no shortage in anything but when you start looking for a particular end, thats when it kicks in.

@ Ochukss

Na wao. Whats going on?

ObamaUS:
@lewinsky,
i guess you work in HITV, that must have been the reason for your low level of reasoning, SWIFT NETWORK was established not too long ago and their customer service is second to none, it does not take more than 2 hours for them to acknowledge your receipt of payment,
If you sample the opinion of 100 HITV customers,at least 90% would say negative things about them.Is that a good feedback on an organisation?

Everybody has the right to voice his/her dissatisfaction because naira is not easy to come by, paying 6,000 and not getting connected even after 48hours is not an enviable stuff, so if you've got nothing to say,just keep your mouth shut and stay with HI RUBBISH in ebute metta,

@ObamaUS

I hope you got to watch the match? It was on the local stations. Did HITV activate you before the match started?

Am still annoyed at Almunia for that loss.

@sauron

Thats low, very low of you (the images you posted).

I just feel like kicking Almunia's poker face in. He needs to step up to the plate or out with him.

He Even contributed to the Diaby Freak goal. Diaby didnt know what was behind him but Almunia had a clear view of the area and saw that there was no one near Diaby. All he had to do was shout 'I got this, leave it for me' .

After challenging Rooney who had no chance of doing anything with that ball(even if he did, Gallas was right there).

Am so gutted right now cause we had that game rapped up.

Anyways, better now than later in the season and better against one of the top four than against Burnley.

ObamaUS:
@darznets, thanks, will check AIT and follow it up,

If you are checking AIT, make sure its the Local one and not the one on DSTV. They dont show the matches on the one on DSTV but Silverbird on DSTV does.
