Over the last three weeks, not many users of new and traditional media could have missed items on the country’s pay-television sector. The bulk of this, for reasons you probably already know, has revolved around TsTv, the new pay-television operator which launched on 1 October.

On the contrary, TsTv, whose name has invited allegations of passing off a rival’s name, has been bang in our faces. The launch was grand. Government was fully represented since TsTv had positioned itself as a wholly Nigerian company. Government support was manifested in the announcement of a three-year tax break for the company.
Huge afterglow followed. Everywhere you turned, the question was: “Where can I buy a TsTv decoder?” Not a single prospective subscriber was able to buy.


Two major national newspapers and many news websites published reports alleging that TsTv had[b] attempted[/b] to carry out intellectual property theft. The reports were based on letters written by two content owners. First was Turner Broadcasting System Europe Limited, which owns redistribution rights to American new channel, CNN. The second was from beIN, the Qatar-based sports and entertainment content provider, which broadcasts matches of European football leagues in the Middle East and North Africa. Writing to the National Broadcasting Commission and Nigerian Copyright Commission, the content owners said they have no agreement with TsTv for the redistribution of their content.
The Nigerian company’s response was to claim feebly on the social media that the letters were fake. It provided no proof of the agreements it claimed to have entered into. It then went to quickly pull down the channel list on its site.
Four days after, Fox, the famous American content broadcasters, wrote to TsTv, saying a similar thing and warning that it finds it objectionable that the Nigerian company was planning to carry its channels without an agreement. TsTv’s responded by announcing a halt to the sale of its decoders and a deferment of its roll out date to 1 November.
What followed was a fusillade of allegations against DStv, the country’s leading pay-TV company, made by TsTv supporters on the social media.
While I have issues with DStv, notably its customer service, I consider the allegations products of phenomenal illiteracy or desperation. Three stand out. The first was that DStv had gone to bribe the content owners not to allow TsTv to broadcast their content.
Do hawkers of this falsehood know that failure to deliver what was agreed on in contracts such as this is an invitation to litigation? Do they understand that content owners are in the game to sell, not to look nice before DStv or other players? Obviously not. The second is that DStv has jammed TsTv signal (whatever that means).
The new company itself announced a deferment of its roll out, which implies that no signal, even for test broadcast, is currently available.
How do you jam a signal that is not available? The third carries the whiff of mild xenophobia. It is an age-old one and goes like “South Africans have been exploiting us for too long”. DStv’s parent company, MultiChoice, is an international company with a Nigerian arm and employs Nigerians.
We keep talking about foreign direct investment. Yet, when we get such, we are seized by rabid nationalism, as is the case now and as it was when some misguided Nigerians felt it was a terrific idea to attack the offices of MultiChoice and MTN in retaliation to the last major xenophobic attacks in South Africa. Value, not nationality, determines the success of a product or service. The earlier we understand that, the better.

tstv might just eventually be a fluke, the good news is that it has paved way for pay per day services as shall soon be launched by startimes.

Have you taken your time to just google this video to research for yourself? If you felt its not true you can at least find out yourself don't just sit behind the keyboard and type what you felt or assume. It takes time to verify and get accurate stories these days don't try to discredit a story you knew nothing about. If its that easy maybe you should be a reporter and try to do one.

Jagermeister:
THERE IS A WITCH IN EVERY WOMAN!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>∆∆∆<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

This is a very interesting story and a lesson for men.

(To men) Please take time to ponder. �

(To women) Just enjoy the story. �

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom.

The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question was:
*What do women really want?*

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man. And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but first he would have to agree to her price.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend. Young Arthur was horrified.

She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.

He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden.

But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.

Arthur's question thus:
"What a woman really wants?"

She said, "A woman wants to be in charge of her own life."

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth, and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.

The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was sitting by the bed.

The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth become her horrible and deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other half.

"Which would you prefer?" She asked him. "BEAUTIFUL during the DAY... OR at NIGHT?"

Lancelot pondered the predicament.

During the day, he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!

OR,

would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day? But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous moments with?

(If you are a man reading this) What would YOUR choice be?

(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?

And Lancelot's choice is given below...

BUT, please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below!

OKAY?

Knowing the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now, what is the moral to this

The moral is...

1. There is a 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is. It's how a man manages it

2. If you let a woman decide on her own she gives u the best.

Culled from Whatsapp.
In other words, let women be in charge abi? Have you forgotten what happened in the garden of eden? Samson? David? Solomon? Evander Holifield?

Some problems will arise here though.
1. Insufficient teachers
2. Doesn't this cause some inconsistency with WAEC which gives stidents a chance to choose? Perhaps they intend to make it compulsory in class but when applying for WAEC, students can drop it but it will increase the workload of students
3. In Unis, it should not carry any unit but it must be passed.

My thoughts anyway
I disagree with the uni part. I can be thought but must not be passed. Universities still function under federal law.
