The management of Daar communications should go to court if they feel NBC acted illegally. Making noise on social media and calling the president unprintable names won’t help their case. NBC warned them severally but they refused to stop broadcasting divisive and treasonable contents. Constructive criticism of government’s policies and decisions is not the same thing as propagating outright falsehood and airing hate speeches.

NBC must never shy away from taking tough decisions like this when necessary. Impunity must not be the order of the day. When a broadcast station fails to adhere to regulatory codes governing broadcasting, there must be sanctions. We cannot sacrifice the unity and peace of Nigeria on the altar of selfish political interest of some few political elites.

“The Guild is strongly of the opinion that the NBC, in exercising its regulatory powers, should concentrate on implementing policies that will position Nigeria’s broadcasting to compete in the global spheres, rather than engage in witch-hunting and unnecessary show of excessive force.

I honestly just don't get It, are these letters of caution not issued to DAAR? Is it not true that the NBC followed up with a meeting to draw the attention of the management of DAAR to the infractions? Should NBC just sit down as lameduck and not move against DAAR in the face of DAAR's alleged sustained intransigence and irresponsible professional conduct ?
Where were these BON and NGE in the face of the caution prior to the suspension? How come their own media houses don't do the nonsense DAAR is being alleged of and how does closing down of an irresponsible media organisation amount to gagging of the media?
If the DAAR management have not been encouraging their members of staff to behave recklessly, the
DAAR should be bold enough to fire their personnel messing up their relationship with the regulator.
I think NBC should go beyond sanctioning the corporate organisation and prosecute those members of staff of DAAR and/or report these individuals each to their professional group for investigation and discipline. I still don't know where a board led by High Chief Dokpesi who is on corruption trial for embezzling funds budgeted for prosecution of war against book harem, derived it's moral authority to be referred as member of the fourth estate of realm. I really commend NBC, they're more matured and gave enough ropes to DAAR unlike the case of SEC against OandO that didn't even release the report of infractions to OandO to defend itself before wielding the stick.
I urge the NBC not to be intimidated, they must fine DAAR, insist on a new editorial board for AIT and Raypower and ensure that it gets professional sanctions against the individual recalcitrant journalists posting hate speech etc to ensure that the innocent ones are not punished.
We can't afford to allow a few irresponsible unpatriotic citizens throw us into another needless war or another Rwanda tragedy. The task of nation building is serious business.
NBC should remain resolute like NCC did with MTN.

The difference is too much
Buhari, Amaechi, APC are big thieves.

Your ignorant and unintelligent rants are getting boring, get some education and start from basic elementary education.

Oga, is Buhari's govt funding the Lagos-Ibadan railway?

Is signing a loan agreement with China for a project an achievement?

Who cannot do such a simple task?

Didn't GEJ do it in the case of Abuja-Kaduna railway, airport terminals and Abuja MetroLine projects?

See, I only respect leaders who prudently manage resources and fund their own projects.

Engaging China to fund a project with massive loans for future generations to pay is not an achievement.

Splashme:
OP, conclusion is that the president LIED.
Because they is a huge gap between 7-months and 4-months

Everything looks too good, why would you buy a gen to use it for 5hours and then sell it less than 50% the price. I need to know why such a distress sale or is it just a marketing gimmick.

yemmight:
What is amazing clarification. Even with 32billion gbese wetin dey take the money do? May be you think that figure is moi-moi. If Lagos take any loan, we all see what they do with it. Saraki and the gang sucked the state like it belong to them. Anyway. God dey.
