I thought this man could give me one more reason to start listening to him again,
But that's not in sight.
Most of the European and Asian countries sportskits are produced by Nike.
For example. Germany Portugal, and so many of them has a sponsorship deal with Nike, and Nike is owned by American.
Does that mean Germany and Co. can produced these kits in their own country with Chioce of firm?
I keep saying that when you begin to talk too much, you lost more sense in the process.

Why didn't he gave his aba boys his books to produce instead of taking them to abroad?

Barca fans are now doing the job of Liverpool.
What a pity.

Meanwhile.

High Chief Ramos has something to say

#Madrid Forever..

God Bless High Chief Ramos

Real Madrid is a COMPLETE Team.
Everyone has a duty.

It was obvious Salah didn't understand the game, hence he was too careless even when the game was still at its infancy.
That was a UCL Final and not a group stage game.
As they say, you don't go down without a fight.

Stop talking nonsense.
If you don't reside in Rivers, Eleme to be most specific, you won't understand the level of crime these boys perpetrates
Theres no such thing as jungle justice here.
His death was well deserved.
BTW, they were THREE.(as the little devil indicated on the fourth picture)
one escaped, two roasted.
Crime dosent pay

All these players were featured in that friendly except Messi, and Icadi
I'm actually seeing no big impact here.
Cus it's going to be 11/11 on the pitch.
Go Eagles!!!

Jointhemiltons2:
As for Chelsea their problem is not the coach,it’s the players. The management have already impacted that useless mentality that the players have the ability to sack a coach. Check the history,anytime the players are angry at a manager they start playing like fools and they’ll end up sacking that manager.

Actually, it's still the coach fault.
When the coach starts to be rude to some certain players, they will definitely teamed up against him.
Example is Diego Costa and Jose mourinho
The guy worry Jose like witch.

does your decoder works offline?

We don’t know when your decoder is on or off. That makes it impossible to say I want to start billing because this customer has started viewing. Pay as you go is a mobile network term.

Mr John Ugbe is the MD/CEO of Multichoice, a pay Tv firm. In this interview on the side line of a media event in Dubai, he speaks on the challenges in the industry, its social responsibility programmes and sheds more light on the just-concluded Big Brother Naija, the foot print of the firm in Nigeria.

What is your reaction to the assertion that 170 million votes from the recently concluded Big Brother Naija (BBN) came exclusively from Short Messaging System (SMS), thereby yielding profit in billions?

There has been a lot of focus on the 170 million figure, but to set the record straight; 170 million votes came from 49 African countries and over 90 per cent came from online voting. Fewer than two per cent of the entire votes came from SMS voting. Nigeria is the only country that was enabled to vote via SMS.

The actual revenue generated from SMS voting could not be further from the much-touted purported figure. Over and above the administration and platform set up costs, the majority of the profit went directly to the Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication and data service providers.

Is there a way that you can review the location of Big Brother Naija to ensure it is domiciled in Nigeria, so that all economics of the hosting and its associated benefits come to Nigeria?

Tinsel is domiciled in Nigeria and shown all over Africa. We just premiered a new epic series in Lagos. For this, we built an entire village from scratch to portray the realities of a village setting. Our groups of channels are called Africa Magic to reflect our African Heritage.

Nigeria has the biggest movie industry and that is why our productions are domiciled in Nigeria. For Hotel Majestic, we had to take over a hotel in Nigeria for two years as a set. It’s a lot of investment. Big Brother demands a lot of complexities and outfitting a house.

For the Big Brother shows, we set up one facility for the Nigeria, Angolan and other editions. It makes sense from a production perspective. It is impractical to replicate sets across our operations in 49 African countries.

We choose the best location for each specific production. Big Brother Naija’s production team is made up of 90 per cent Nigerians, even though it wasn’t set in Nigeria – so a good deal of skills transfer occurs. Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) comes to Nigeria every year. Speaking as a Nigerian and an advocate of Nigeria – we keep looking at what it will entail to run it locally.

Have you considered implementing a pay as you consume model, considering that work and life schedules make it difficult to catch shows without steady power?

From a producer’s perspective – we have to buy the movie in full and we have to buy enough content to fill the channel and put it on air. That’s what the pay-TV model prescribes anywhere in the world. We have to aggregate content for our different packages, this means ensuring there is something for everyone on the package, depending on your interest and pocket strength. But there is a good spread of a variety of content across all packages.

Everyone thinks of today. From day one, you have to buy enough movies to make up the channel and sell that package to one person. It’s a risk as you cannot determine if after buying content, only one or 10 people will subscribe.

If only one person does, you cut your losses and move on, but you continue to invest in content with the hope that more people will be interested in watching. Regarding breaking off viewing according to your availability, the challenge is in the model of the business.

We don’t know when your decoder is on or off. That makes it impossible to say I want to start billing because this customer has started viewing. Pay as you go is a mobile network term.

The mobile operators have the technical resources to measure what is being used. For pay-Tv on the other hand, it is not the same thing. Last August, the Mayweather vs. McGregor Boxing match was delayed for close to three hours.

The reason it was delayed is because of the technicalities of pay-per-view in the U.S. Pay-per-view for a fight like that would be $99 – that is more than your one-month subscription on Premium – about double.

However, we buy the fight and aggregate it for our Premium subscribers, who were able to record it, even when the live event did not happen on schedule. What we encourage our subscribers to do is download DStv now and you can watch all the content on your current subscription on the go, on your phone or tablet.

You do not have to be bound by availability of power. Catch Up is there… Get it before the World Cup so it’s right there on your phone and your ipad and your laptop. Those are the innovations we’ll continue to make.

What social responsibility programmes do you invest in as an organisation?

We focus on education, health and youth and economic empowerment. Our MultiChoice Resource Centre (MRC) project is our education initiative that we have been active with for over 14 years. What we do here is work with governments in each state to select beneficiary schools.

We then provide audio-visual equipment (which include a dish, decoder with educational channels, TV, generating set, tables, chairs, UPS), to bring learning and the school’s curriculum to life.

We set up our education package in the chosen schools, train the teachers on how to select relevant programmes intended to illuminate and animate information that would otherwise have remained theoretical or textbook based.

The MRCs are present in over 400 schools across 33 states in Nigeria, tens of thousands of students have benefitted from these centres since inception. The feedback has been astounding.

The rate of passing school leaving exams has improved. Several beneficiary students have gone on to become medical doctors, lawyers and a good number are working in several other professions, as a result of this foundation that changed how they learn and retain information. I have experienced how this centre is used, and saw how students responded when they saw how a tsunami actually happens.

They saw it happen on our platform and this made it easier for them to imagine how destructive a tsunami could be. Also in terms of education, we have partnered with Eutelsat for many years to roll out DStv-Eutelsat Star Awards, a satellite-based competition for secondary school students across Africa. The students are required to answer questions on how satellites can be used to improve processes, the advantages of satellite and so on.

These questions need to be answered through an essay or a poster. Last year, a Nigerian, Emmanuel Ochenjele, emerged overall winner from the poster category.

He met a real life Astronaut – Claudie Haignere, right here in Nigeria, and not long ago, he returned from Paris, as part of his winning prize, where he went to the Eutelsat headquarters to witness how rockets are assembled.

This has changed his perspective forever. We implement our health responsibility by supporting the Sickle Cell Foundation. We have been partners for many years. We support them because the statistics of how Sickle Cell Anaemia affects Nigerians paints a dire picture. The Foundation seeks funds to carry out research, treat and inform sufferers.

Their key objective is creating awareness on how to minimise its effects, research on how to avoid and ultimately cure the ailment. On our part we offer support through creating awareness, which we do on an on-going basis through educational videos, community outreach programmes, fund raising and other initiatives to support them in what they do. Our GOtv Boxing Next Gen clinics support the growth of boxing, which we brought out of near extinction in Nigeria.

Over and above the boxing matches, which provide an avenue for the boxers to earn a living, the clinics provide tips on welfare, training and psychological support to these young ones.

Some of the young boxers were picked from our Next Generation Search (for talented and passionate amateurs), they have now proven themselves in mainstream boxing and have won millions over the years. Ultimately, we train them to go professional, so that one of our boxers can proudly fly the Nigerian flag internationally.

Is it possible to put my subscription on hold when I travel for a month?

Yes we have made it possible for you to do that. You can put your subscription on hold when you travel for up to two weeks each time, twice a year. One of the things we thrive on is technology.

The dual view decoder was first introduced in the world by MultiChoice. Digital Satellite TV (DStv) was only second after the U.S. When we build the DTT network we had Russians coming to study it. We look to the future for what is possible to do.

Recently, MultiChoice ran a promo asking subscribers to pay for two months and get one month free, but there were complaints from customers who didn’t get the promised month. What is your response to this?

It is true that we ran a retention offer late last year. When we received feedback that some customers did not get the free month on schedule, we identified those customers that were affected and we fixed it.

We introduced a new process, which helps to identify those who received the offer, and ensure that others get the benefit immediately. Additionally, in terms of improving on technology, we upgrade our decoder software from time to time to improve customer-viewing experience. We ran a free swop campaign where we asked customers to bring in obsolete decoders for a free swop.

It’s all in line with always striving to improve our offers to our customers. We also introduced toll- free lines a few years ago. These numbers are available on our website and social media care platforms. On twitter, the address is @DStvNgCare.

I hope the call centre is 24 hours. DStv should have a 24-hour call centre.

This is good feedback and something we tested last December. However, there are a few challenges with labour laws. So, we’ve been looking at how best our customers can reach us at any time of the day.

We will communicate changes and updates in due course. Your payment operations are 24 hours. As soon as the payment drops, the thing comes up immediately.

Payment is automated and we encourage our customers to use our payment platforms such as eazy.dstv.com. This way, the customer can troubleshoot and resolve reconnection issues directly from their mobile phones without having to call into our call centre to be reconnected.

I know this is a question you’ve been looking at for a while. The strength of signals is still a problem. For instance, if you watch a match and it rains you lose signal.

To shed some light on that, it is called rainfade. Satellite signal from the KU Band is susceptible to weather. I have taken pictures of my tv screen when I’ve been in New York or other parts of the world and I experienced interruption as a result of bad weather. It’s not a Nigerian problem. Your DSTV will work even with 40 per cent signal. There is need to boost the signal to have less interruption.

We also make available quality cables to reduce interference. If rain comes in, it will affect the quality. We recommend getting a certified installer to conduct regular checks to verify signal strength. Also, some dishes have not been checked in up to five years. Regular checks ensure that your dish works optimally, thereby reducing rainfade.

Star Trek inspired a lot of Americans to go into science and go into the moon. What does Big Brother inspire among Nigerians?

We are in pay Tv, we are also in entertainment. Entertainment is a mix of fun, inspiration and education. Remember, Reality TV is reality. This is what happens. The fact that they are on TV doesn’t change it.

Entertainment can inspire in a variety of ways. Many people have come out of Big Brother and have grown into entertainment powerhouses. It’s a platform for exposure and advancement.

Furthermore, we have a lot of educational and kids content. We ask our viewers to set up parental guidance so you can control what your child views. The parents have and have always had the control.

Kids these days have smartphones and can download anything, but the blame is often put on TV. You can opt out of a channel or block it completely at any time. We put the power into your hands. And back to Big Brother, we can learn from their interaction in the house.

They have tasks that promote nationalism, patriotism. You see those contestants singing the National Anthem proudly. When they talk about malaria day – we use it as an opportunity to educate. A lot of the tasks are subtle, but meant to inspire and lead.

"According to a statement, the APC told him to go to his ward and register as membership cards are not given at the national headquarters."

Chai

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ali Modu-Sheriff to register at his ward in Borno State.

Sheriff was billed to visit the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Thursday to officially join the party.

However, there was no one in the secretariat to receive him as it was gathered that the party is dragging its feet.

According to a statement, the APC told him to go to his ward and register as membership cards are not given at the national headquarters.

“Our attention has been drawn to reports in some sections of the media that the former factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress today at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja,” the party’s statement read.

“While we are aware of such intentions, we wish to restate our earlier position that anyone who wants to join the party should do so at the ward level.

“We are happy to welcome new members to our party, but membership cards are not issued at the Party National Secretariat,” the statement reads.

"The contracts, which the lawmaker allegedly failed to honour, were for the supply of 500,000 plastic desks and chairs for primary and secondary schools in nine oil producing states in Nigeria which was included in the 2016 budget"




To think that these are the same people our youths are defending is worrisome.

Published on April 24, 2018
By Ameh Comrade Godwin

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested the lawmaker representing Delta-North Senatorial District, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, for an alleged fraud of N6bn.

The EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, made this known on Monday.

“The senator is currently in our custody. He was arrested over the weekend,” Uwujaren told Punch.

Nwaoboshi, who is a loyalist of former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, has been on the searchlight of the EFCC for nearly two years following a series of petitions written against him.

In one of such petitions, it was alleged that the lawmaker, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, got contracts through 15 companies.

The contracts, which the lawmaker allegedly failed to honour, were for the supply of 500,000 plastic desks and chairs for primary and secondary schools in nine oil producing states in Nigeria which was included in the 2016 budget.

It was alleged that Nwaoboshi awarded the contracts worth N3,483,144,000 to15 companies registered in the names of his relatives and proxies, some of which are not even registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.

The companies are Benchmark Construction and Projects Limited; Milestone Allied Builders Limited; Edendoma Stars Intl; Isumabe U.K Global Ventures; Nelpat (Nigeria) Company; Edrihide Company; Antlers Construction and Allied Works Limited; and AGH-Rown Ventures.

Others are NOAN Integrated Services Limited; De-Towers Construction and Allied Services; Eastern Wrought Iron Limited; Franstine Nigeria Enterprises; Brant Technologies; Omozuabho Global Resources and Bugstruct Limited.

To me this lazy youth saga has a lot of meaning that it appears to be already .
Why cant the youth take avantage of this and form a formidable political alliance？
Some of us are not seeing the other part of this stuff, but choses to play by what it only appears like to them.
Buhari couldn't have directly told the youth to rise up and contest for various political offices in a much better way than this.
My point though.

Some women get mind sha

Nonsense people.
Look what the northern are trying to do is that, any other candidate other than Buhari will rule for another eight years.
Because they will say he is a fresh candidate, and he must completes his eight years(we have seen this before)
So buhari will give way for another person probably from other region when his term expires

Igbos be wise, 2023 is already here.

Clerverly:
This is Oshogbo in Osun State, and not Aba....All these Afonjas and lies na 5 and 6. For your information, all the markets in the South East are of international standards..

PDP is the most useless party on this planet!
Why dont you take this Mantu of a man to court to explain to the pubic how he rigged the elections for you?

kitaatita:
I cannot defend the integrity of the individuals mentioned. I can only encourage Lai Mohammed to mention some crooks who moved from PDP to APC before the elections who are walking about free.

Yeah probably on the "third batch"
