You pay for unlimited broadband Internet.
I'm guessing spectranet isn't broadband.

Spectranet and all the internet services providers we have in Nigeria are hyped up dial-up.

warripekin:
And they said Oga jona is clueless. Yeye dey smell

But when the same SOLUDO criticised GEJ, you lot claim he was an idioot. He was this, he was that. Now because he said something that favours GEJ, he is all of a sudden a saint.

Senseless people.

Koolmexxi:
DSTv dey do shakara because no serious competition. They provide exclusive epl coverage and an array of quality programs/channels. .. D epl is what makes DSTv it's own competition. Our indigenous cable companies are jus interested in stocking junk channels with little or no contents as cable packages. What has stopped Consat or Star times or Daarsat from paying for viewing rights from skysports or even from dstv?? CTL is d only close competition but lack nationwide reach. DSTv is ripping nigerians off but it's solely because d competition makes it look so and are unserious.

DSTV will never sell the rights to live coverages. They know that will kill them. Why will Ngerians go to DSTV direct when they can get it from Star times thats cheaper?

The sincere truth is the laws needs to be lessened for others. And in 2019 when the bidding is reopen for premier league rights, you will see DSTV won't have 100% regardless of whether the bill(s) is/are passed into law or not.

If Star Times can get the rights to the Bundesliga from DSTV, they can get part of the EPL rights from them as well.

princeade86:
. If it easy bros, why hitv come pack comot. Do u knw how much they also pay 2 get the right:? Is not by force. We av startime which am using, and we av gotv, multichoice and many m6re. Must u watch on dstv?

Your ignorances is shining through your posts.

Who owns gotv? Who owns the DSTV franchise in Nigeria not Multichoice? And you honestly believe DSTV is bigger than Star Times? DSTV owners are not half as rich as Star times owners only that the laws are limiting Star times.

Watch and see Star Times take some of the EPL right from Dstv when the bidding war is reopened next year.

Dio1:
You can't watch Bpl on any service provider of your choice because DSYV purchases those rights.
You guys are so ignorant .
If you knew how much the rights to showing those leagues cost you wouldn't say such.
I keep on saying that it isn't compulsory to watch DSTV , Nigerians should stop complaining about their prices.

Because you can afford it does not mean everyone can. In the UK for instance, Sky cost just about 60 pounds and that comes with Internet usage with UNLIMITED DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD ACCESS.

In Nigeria, I pay N14k for DSTV with shitty repeated programs and N19,500 for Spectranet which is capped at 70 GBP ( which they even cheat me out of ).

This I can afford it, I don't care about others mentality won't help this country. A friend of mine in Ukraine ( schooling there ) pays just 3,500 a month and still uses Internet.

Do you think these other companies don't pay for rights too?

Good a thing the so called rights will expire after this season, hopefully the reps would have passed the law that will allow others favourably bid for the EPL rights.

You are jonsing if you think DSTV is bigger than startimes or if they have more money than them. Just do a bit of research and you will see it is only the useless laws limiting Star times.

Edit : DSTV Have the EPL right till 2018/2019 season unfortunately. They can however be forced to share the rights.

Kikero112:
There is no monopoly by DSTV.

The problem is....DSTV's would be competitors ALWAYS FAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Take HITV. When it came into the market, most Nigerians were happy. But HITV's bouquet was scanty compared to DSTV.....plus they made the mistake of thinking that Nigerians got cable satellite TV for the football.

While HITV focused on football....DSTV upped their game by improving their content drastically.

Guess who won at the end?

The Senate should stop passing ridiculous bills. Unless they want to pass a bill that would force Nigerian companies to actually do some critical thinking.

Thats not the problem. The problem is the amount of money needed to enter the market. While DSTV can afford to take a loan from SA for as little as 5% interest, here is it between 15% and above.

Also, DSTV needs to be forced to reduce their price. I am Beninose/Nigeria, I lived in Benin for 6 months last 4 years, they pay less than 5,000 whereas I pay 14k here. Who has the bigger market? Nigeria or Benin?

talktimi:
These reps are just jobless. If you don't like dstv, buy startimes or cmtv nobody tied your hands or forced you. If the NBC as a regulator didn't know about or couldn't enforce industry best practices like their counterparts worldwide, who is to blame ?

People like you are cancer to this nation. Thankfully just as cancer, we now have cure for you people.

The same Startimes you are talking about, how much do they charge you? What do they offer? My mom pays well less than I do here still manages to watch good programs on TV and use Internet at the same time. I pay 14k for DSTV ( mainly cos of EPL nothing more ) and 19,500 for spectranet ( I am a blogger ). Thats close to 150 pounds. She doesn't even pay 60 pounds per month.

Think and stop being such a slave.

It was an accident. If the suicidal man was alive, he would be sued for attempted murder/murder but he is not.

Is GEJ still their hero? GEJ, the same shoeless man that has been sponsoring Boko haram.

missylizzy:
I have no doubts that the so-called fiance is a facebook or anyone of these social media sites or probably imaginary fiance. This lady is just a messed up attention seeker.

February 20, I will be married, I met her on facebook.

I was close to marry the one before her ( she died) and I met her on facebook as well. Love exists on social media. I am living witness.

whirlwind7:
It is just sweet when you have a tailor made scapegoat to blame for your shortcomings.
Now, they couldn't secure the Chibok girls because Jona got swindled? Meanwhile, Bubu had admitted last month that they have no clue as to the girls whereabouts.
They should be mindful that excuses and blame games can only go so far.

Yes, Jona ran a loose regime. It was open season for anyone who could tap into the largess. Almost everyone scammed Jona. We all know that now.

Bubu and team are the new sheriff in town now, right?
Enough with the excuses. Catch 'em and fry 'em.

You honestly think it is easy to get the girls back?

kaziblake:
I'm so sure jonathan never instructed dasuki to share the money among themselves.
Pls they shld not involve him.

Who was ruining? If you as a woman raise wayward kids, will the world say "I am sure Kaziblake did not say the kids should be wayward".

PRYCE:
Impunity you say? What better definition can be ascribed to impunity than the crass disobedience to court orders/Injunctions which this administration's championing?

You APC boys are unbelievable! So you support Buhari's brand of impunity but condemn all others? or is he's not impunity? I'm sure you'll look for another word to describe Buhari's!

SMH!

BTW, Magu already said and I quote

If you feel aggrieved, you should approach the court, it is your right as a Nigerian. If you haven't done that or won't do that then shut the F up.

ahaz:
look at the way everyone is demonizing gdj as if HDS fhd one that laid foundation for this corruption...I believe there is a big difference between 2billon$ and $16billon,and yet they played a blind eye towards that..a certain gen.looted $12billion dollars oil money nobody talk o.
The harliburton scandle is still there yet oud new sherif choosed a soft target because he comes from a very naive region were they will tose the soo cslled patriotic bulshit to and they buy it but will throw away the same patriotism to the winds when it involves them...if buhari is keen about probing let him start with the sale of nitel,nepa,pdobd the nnpc and lets see if his cohofts wont be involved.leg him not forgot to probe the sponsors of boko haram and carryout an open trial of captured boko men lets know the extent of dasukis father christmas...besides all fhis you guys should leave gej alons.

Let me ask you, who was the idiiot in government not long ago who had the chance to investigate the aforementioned crimes but never did?

You lots need to think before you type nonsense on Nairaland.

hollywater:
E Pain am!Jonathan my Hero,the face of Africa politics. The Father of Africa democracy.

You have absolutely no dignity. Imagine if your family was killed in the Boko Haram nonsense?

I am happy Nigerians now know who the true sponsors of Boko Haram were/are.

Destined2win:
I will advise this administration to thread wisely while dealing with Jonathan

I use to have the same thought due to the volatile situation of the country but the sincere truth is that even those who call him their brother now know how much of a corrupt kleptomaniac he was.

EFCC has finally shown him up for who he is and I do not think he ensures so much pity from people any more. Picking him up is likely to cause us little problem.

BlackBaron:
Dasuki did not start disbursement on his volition. His orders were from the top ala Goodluck Jonathan.

Why's Jonathan sitting easy if he oversaw spending of part of security funds for his own Re election?
This country's systems are so badly lopsided.

SADLY le shoeless won't be touched. The situation in the country is too volatile for that to happen.

Obudupikin:
I like that guy.

If only glo will allow me interact with their customer care agents via a similar platform.

Those customer care girls voice dey sweet die.

My friend chyked an airtel girl same way. He was a broke asss then he was only using my credit. I begged the idioot to give me the girl as he had a girlfriend and my own fiancee just died like 9 months and I was lonely, the girl came to the house na, he worugly die.

They straffed for 2 days, the girl stole my friend's phone and still embarrassed him on the stress for merely giving her 10k for transport - borrowed money oo.

No think those girls.

copiescopy:
All this shout about fighting corruption is a just a smoke screen for PMB to tighten the noose on all his perceived enemies most especially the SE /SS . The causalities are the few form the SW.

It was just a pity GEJ fell flat to ploy of the Hausa/fulani having brought the master stroke of unleashing Boko Haram as the main key to de-stabilizing the last government had done well enough o devise the means to use as a sledge hammer to break the ground with regards to the $2.1 billion dollar money for arms procurement.

GEJ in his usual naive nature may have given the approval only to now discover that Dasuki was also working against GEJ in one way by ensuring the funds does not get to the appropriate quarters . Statements credited to Dasuki indicates he helped the ruling government come into power . Aint that a fact ? It was already a master plan hatched between top the cabals in the North with one serious motive, return power to the north by any means necessary .GEJ was just a pawn even if it means distributing the entire $2.1b arms procurement sum to everyone and everyone knowing the attendant problem such could create in the nearest future which of course has dawned on the SE /SS that the North were hell bent on destroying their political strongholds thereby using the Boko Haram arms procurement funds as the invisible sledge hammer that could fell the tower of their political grip on the country . This is what is exactly playing out . Dasuki and his master planners are making proper use of the situation to tarnish the image and reputation of top politicians in the SW and SE including the SS . The only little causalities are the few top politicians from the SW.

seun,lalasticlala,copiescopy,tonyebarcanista

You people are worst than cancer. PDP just technically confirmed their members are unpatriotic bastards who have almost looted us out of the map of the world and you can spew this lubbish? EFCC should investigate you too.

Whatever the reason, I am sure those employed hastily will be gone soon. I don't for one believe GMB is as stupid as not to sack those GEJ hastily employed unless he finds them useless.

Febup:
I was looking for IT at number 1. That was why I missed it.

No, you are one of those who do not bother to read?

Febup:
Why is IT not on the list.

You simply do not know the meaning of IT. There were at least 3 IT jobs listed.

Why should they even want to play England? Are they better than us? I seriously doubt.

NewNigeriaMind:
The op is a slowpoke.

The actual rift the OBA was talking about is between Tinubu and fashola


Pls read the article before you comment guys.

This op is no different from the cable.

Op what is it you want to gain from this
..

Blame the person who pushed it to the front page just because he wants traffic to his site. This is sensational journalism but one with a very bad taste.

Mogidi:
Shut the Bleep up, Fayose was only playing politics. Fashola also said JKay was too old, point me to where you berated Fashola.

Politics to the extent of wishing death on someone? Okay. Birds of the same feathers.

Mogidi:
A man in his 70s is not exactly a spring chicken tasked with changing the lives of 160million people, the workload may takes it toll. Lets pray Buhari lives long but Fayose might be vindicated, its still early days yet.

The job of president is not like any other job, its a 24hrs a day job.

So forming opinionated we all know how silly your opinions are. You forgot so soon that we all will one day die?

And when has it become Fayose's duty to decide when who will die?

Who eba don help? Garri first, indomie second rice and bean third. Others useless.

Firefire:
Painful

What makes it painful? Is it not the handiwork of your hero? It shouldn't pain you. Left to you, he will rule till forever

We have had of vandalisation of pipelines but oddly no one has been caught and prosecuted and made to confess.

Could it be because it is those in government who are behind it?

babyfaceafrica:
What of male cicumcision?....I hope this law is not one sided?...wat is good for the goose is good for the gander..am watching them in 4D

So you wish you were not circumcised? Chai, I fear you oo. You want too insert that uncircumcised thing into a woman?

Make I no see you near my sister oo. I don mark your face.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Ogbenni, Buhari just use d word "change" to deceive ya all
U better wake up and see how he's gonna start from where d most hard-working president stopped from.

Say no to fake "change"

Say yes to transformation

Come 2019, we gonna change d "changers"

Why don't you wait till get spends some time in office then we will know whether we were deceived or not.

Only a kid like yourself bases his opinion on guess work. You are just guessing and engaging in wishful thinking. Tribalistic idiota.
