protectionism doesn't always pay.  but it $2,500 = N250,000?
$1 = N100 this is good news

Only a Nigerian would say this

they shd take it a step further

DSTV and other cable channels should not bean any movie from Ghollywood to Nigeria
All Ghollywood movies should not be sold in Nigeria



Nollywood is big enough to survive without the Ghanaians, lets see if they can do without our money
i see death for Ghollwood or fcever its called

@FBS

chief how far? sorry i signed out when u hailed me
how ur side?

@Sagamite

u don start your wahala? sharrap there my friend

did you see the birth certificates of the gurls?
no let me pour your hot water o

What could have prompted a right thinking individual calling the President of his country a fool? This is like calling his country a fool. Even a nursery school pupil will know that Goodluck's initial ban was a serious wake up call. Why are we castigating the same man that has resuscitated the "Never Say Die" spirit Nigerians are known for in those years? Is this a curse on us?

Lie!!!
The gurls were gonna play very well irrespective of the shambolic display of the eagles and the proposed ban. we are only experiencing rot in the super eagles. The other national teams have been doing well. forget the never say die rant- That was a lie

For the numerous senseless wars that America has plunged several trillions of Dollars both in material and human wastes, i have never come across any instance where an American will call his/her president a fool.

another lie- some americans called George Bush worse names- Is it right? NO, is it wrong ? maybe Yes
if its a punishable offence, let him go to court

Seun, i think the IP Address of the guy that called our President a fool should be sent to the SSS for possible collaboration with INTERPOL. Enough is enough.

so that the man can be executed or what? you think this is Iraq abi na Pakistan?
lololololol

SSS ko, Fire Brigade ni

Ibime:
Im sure DSTV would have the $100m regardless. . . . they should be in almost every country in Africa. . .it seems every hotel/bar in Africa has DSTV subscription. . . . I for one rate their SuperSports channel as the best sports channel out there, even better than the European sports channels.

DSTV wrote a cheque of 100mills as soon as GTB and Hitv started running like headless chickens

im sure HiTV started the whole process at the 11th hour

shameful i swear

agitator

what are you trying to achieve?

besides, i have made enough comments on the threads that sprung up immediately the rights were given to Supersport

no need to overflog issues, u can check the threads for my comments

anyway, you won
is that what you want

its too early joh or are you in USA

naijatoday:
Help me oh!!!!!!!!!

I have asked this question in the business section and nobody answered me.

What does an oil trading company in Nigeria do?

Is it that they act as middle man between a foreign oil company and Nigerian gas station

or the oil trading companies are just owners of gas stations.

I just want to know because i have been wondering. Maybe i should start a thread to ask this question.

They simply buy products ( dirty products, white fuel et al) from refineries around (neighboruing countries) and some other foreign countries, supplement with NNPC allocation and sell to wholesale consumers

cos some would like to capture the extra margins in the chain, they are now going integrated, building tank farms and going into retail

basically, they buy products, and sell wholesale

Trading is still at the rudimentary stage no futures and options yet

i may be wrong but i know some of the oil traders and what they do is what ive stated clearlt

^^ of course i miss CR7

one of the finest players that graced our turf

^^^ of course i prefer DSTV but some of the things being said are totally false

being profitable doesnt mean u have $100million dollars to cough out

thats 12billion naira bro. how many years have they been operating?

haha

abeg

^^^ Good hes staying

lets hope Rio stays fit, if not, he shd go hand somewhere

As a customer and a consumer, all i care about is value for money, and HiTV was not providing that for their customers.

hey mister, how many years did it take DSTV to attain the level they are now? incompetence you called it? i call it learning the biz.
do you know about setanta and sky in UK? read up if you dont

Was it Sanusi's fault that over 70% of HiTV subscribers failed to renew their subscription until the start of a new premier league season? Was it Sanusi's fault that DSTV provided a far better viewing experience during the last world cup, drawing millions of customers away during that lucrative period?

the issue has got nothing to do with subscribers paying or not paying. The got letters from the bank to EPL requesting for more days to get the guarantee. The delay was due to the current risk mgt anthem in all our banks

Banks are in the business of lending money. And it's every Bank's dream to lend money to thriving, strong companies with good cashflows. Banks LOVE lending to monopolies - they've got the business cornered. Since the HiTV management failed woefully to  make the best of their opportunity, why blame Sanusi?

not sure u understand what happened Not sure you know about Hitv and its operations (cashflow) if you do, u wont make this comment. HiTv was profitable and was doing fine- for the records!!!!!!

naijatoday:
I thought HiTV won the deal last year, what took them so long to pay?

Anyways Nigerians who were going to ghana to buy DSTV decoder (as i heard) in other to be a able to watch the premiership will have to return it now that DSTV Nigeria has won the rights back.

i still have the smartcard from Ghana

i dont have to return it. at least no one is gonna wrestle the rights from them in Ghana in the nearest future

as to ur first point, they paid 40milla for the first year but were supposed to give bank guarantees for the 2nd and third year
totalling about 80milla USD

The bottleneck associated with the processing delayed the thing and oh yeah, the SA boys came with a cheque

i think the Mgt shd have been at it long enough to ensure they get the approvals needed long b4 the EPL peeps started breathing down their neck and also, i feel the CBN shd have helped in some waivers (just to save a 9ja biz)

nyways, its all done and dusted

its DSTV now!!!

same ol' hogwash

*** Adeboye acted when the allegations came up

**** Erastus is rich enough to give

**** God knows what to reject and from whom he'll reject - in essence, let God do his work. I DO NOT KNOW whom God has classified a sinner
even on the cross when Jesus was to b crucified, one of thieves around him got saved

Adeboye is not on planet earth to chastise and condemn sinners, his mandate is to preach the word of God to them
Condemning sinners is not one of the mandates, let the law enforcement agents do their thing if they have issues with Adeboye and Erastus

So are you saying Akingbola was not a thief in the sight of God until EFCC exposed him?

sight of God but not sight of Adeboye; Adeboye is not God

2. Are you also of the opinion Akingbola the thief's offering was acceptable to God?

do you think an adulterers offering is acceptable to God? or a liar? all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. By your postulation, everybodys offering will not be acceptable to God. Let God decide who and who he takes offering from. I dont know what God wants. I am human not God and i doubt ure God too

3. It's Good you say the offering was made to God not Adeboye. If God does not accept offering of thieves, Why is Adeboye and RCCG battling to hold onto money God didnt accept in the first place and waiting for court order like debosky says?

tell us how you want Adeboye to know which of the offerings came from the illegally acquired wealth. Akingbola is a rich man just like Ovia i repeat. He built the bank from scratch so u shd know how rich he is

4. if it was not accepted by God as God does not receive offerings from thieves, why is RCCG still keeping the money?

5. i also repeat that God does not differentiate the legal or illegal income of a thief. As long as you are a thief God will not accept your offering. So why is RCCG actively trying to claim his offerings are from his legal income when it is infact inconsequential to God which is which as they are all unacceptable and unholy as long as the giver is a thief?

see applicable comments above

i dunno but this thread is fast becoming an avenue for some of our SA peeps to express some resentments

good.

Lets stay civil tho. we are not kids here

cheers

@Topic
Nigeria deport people, so its nothing new for a nation to deport illegal immigrants

duduspace:
This scenario is not uncommon, upstart arises and thumbs its nose at an incumbent operator, enjoys some initial success but ultimately fails because the incumbent has too much of a financial and quality advantage. Its just the Setanta and Sky scenario replaying itself all over again. Someone made a nice suggestion which is currently being done in the UK where the likes of Tiscali (now Talktalk TV) and BT Open Vision are carrying Sky Channels to their subscriber's homes with Sky being mandated to sell those channels to them at reduced rates to what they charge their direct customers (the case is still in court though and Sky might just win it).
I think HiTV will survive, I think they have Nigezie up on Sky though I don't think its a subscription service cos I don't subscribe to it. Government intervention may be required to stop DSTV becoming a monopoly though, not to kill them but to encourage the smaller companies.

thank you

Govt shd help these budding companies. Its not easy abeg

I trust Ghana. Imagine Hitv struggling with a Ghanaian company for tv rights?
Lol, theyll probably just chase Hitv away from the country
lol

^^^^ i agree 100%

AjanleKoko:
But I have it on good authority that the bank was going to bleep them up anyway.

why?
The banks MD and Multichoice are at daggersdrawn so i heard

so the MD would ordinarily want the deal to go through?

besides, why would the bank not support one of their good customers?

[quote author=Tudór link=topic=481794.msg6436892#msg6436892 date=1279885468]Cool, so you concede Pastor Akingbola is a THIEF, and RCCG consider him a THIEF too thats why he was dismissed.

1. Does God accept the offerings of thieves?

2. Does it matter to God in receiving offerings which account either personal income or looted income of a thief or does God consider the personality of the Giver?

3. If God does not receive offerings from thieves, what is RCCG's justification for keeping same?[/quote]1. The offering was made before Akingbola was derobed/sacked. Let God decide what he'll do with him
   
2> God considers the personality of the Giver hence the reason why Cains offering was unacceptable. RCCG is not God and Adeboye isnt God either. The offer was to God not to Adeboye

3. Let us determine how much of the offering was illegally acquired before you can shout. What if the part he gave was from what he legally made

akingbola is a rich man just like Jim Ovia and co.

sley4life:
i prefer DSTV to HITV. In terms of repeating soccer match. HITV does it best. Not to talk about home movie. YOu can watch a particular home video 7times b4 the close of the week. No program display. Too backward

lmao
but honestly, HiTV no try at all forall the rubbish they dished out

nearly broke ma tv one day in annoyance

and to all those who never run a barber shop wey dey jam talk for here

when u set up ur coy and ur major competitor is a multi national, come back and tell us the experience

we shall be here waiting for ur success stories

LOL

OMO IBO:
If HITV wants to retain it's Nigeria viewership, it should broker some deal with DSTV. This is what Virgin media and some other smaller cable companies are doing are doing in the UK.

lets see how they wanna swim outta this

im available for consultations
for a fee of course

but how come they didnt apply for this thing early enough?
cos according to the bank, the thing was gonna be ready if they allow for 4 more days

na wa

folem:
Let HiTV get real and stop promoting foreign football leagues to the detriment of our own. If DSTV takes EPL , so what? let them repackage NPL and get the rights away from DSTV now that there is a new league board and some of the contracts need to be renewed.

so, na dem bring epl come 9ja?

abi 9jas no dey watch foreign football b4 Hitv

and oh yeah, hes not Bashorun and he doesnt carry any of those big titles

lawuyi:
Is this in the Naija market?? If so where do u get the charts, cos i'd be interested, although as Tolulope pointed out before, this means money can only be made from stock that is trending upwards, right?

I did a pseudo course on US equity options trading but never actually started, methinks 2010 might be a good year to begin,

tkb417 u into equity trading too?

till late 2008. (made some money tho)

im doing other things for now

jay bee:
naija market ke strictly european, US and asia (japan and aussie)
charts widely available.
U can trade both trends. U can either be a bull or a bear.
Growth is slow at the moment so being a bull is only worthwile in undervalued market so dats where your techical analysis comes into play.

Coomodity (gold, oil, wheat, soybean et al) can be seasonal so get in at the right time to make your kill. U with me

@tkb
why u dey scare madlady na. Make she come do private tutoring


@madlady
u know how we do

im sure lawuyi understands u perfectly
hes a finance guru

leave madlady alone ooo

something just came to my mind

if this happened in South Africa or any other country

would they allow a foreign company take the rights from a local company cos they couldnt pay?

wouldnt the Govt of the country help in facilitating the bank guarantee? cos the acquisition of the rights was solely dependent on that document

so wtf is wrong with our peeps/govt?

na wa

^^^ maybe Nweke would have helped them with the Bank Guarantee

this clealy shows our institutional inefficiencies
thats all

The SA chaps have money, and we dont

U dont expect Hitv and DSTV to be on the same footing as regards funding/financing of rights

so, the country should share in the blame
