Wow. Sounds interesting! Can somebody please record the show and put it on Youtube for the benefit of those who don't have HiTV? I would really appreciate that - Thanks! |

@naijacute, the show could not start at all, the starter of the thread already stated it that Endemol, the owner of Mnet sued HITV that they cant start the reality show called "Nigeria". Can you imagine? No wonder the spate of attacks of DSTV Big Brother is also on the high side nowadays in this country. I bet we the customers are are going to enjoy this. Have you also read the angle of Zubair the MD of HITV, he used to be in DSTV, sounds interesting, dont you think? Now, we now know the reason behind all this hullabaloo between the two. |

Bullshyte Why did they "countdown" when it was obvious they had a case to resolve with mnet? |
Re: 'Nigeria' - A Reality Show On HiTV by twinstaiye(m): 4:39pm On Aug 08, 2008 |
@mustay, They did not have a case in court during the countdown. They were served an injuctions restraining them from starting the show. I understand you dont fancy HITV with a passion, but this is beyond their power. |

i think i know of a show also on dstv called power of 10 where u also stand a chance of winning R10 million. u also must be well informed about anything south african etc. it actually sounds very similar to the one ull talkin about . i think thats y dstv seems to have a ploblem |

@ twins. I do not hate hitv with a passion moreover 'case' wasn't used in the legal sense of the word. What am saying is, the show was advertised on hitv's website and when it got to the kick off date, it was removed without any info. Like most of our sites, Nigeria's website had no information but "coming soon". |

HiTV’s Nigeria Reality Show Starts October 1 From all indications, the commemoration of Nigeria’s 48th independence anniversary would be very grand as HiTV, Nigeria’s indigenous pay TV service provider has announced October 1, as the new date for the commencement of the broadcast of its much awaited TV reality show tagged ‘Nigeria’ The show which was initially billed to commence on July 5th 2008 was suspended as a result of a court injunction at the request of Endemol, copyright owners of the Big Brother (BB) reality show which is aired on Multichoice DSTV. The injunction was later struck out by Justice A.M Liman of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos. It would be recalled that Endemol had approached the court seeking an order restraining HiTV from airing the show because the concept, it claimed, was an infringement on its intellectual property right of Big Brother. As a responsible corporate citizen that operates under the principle of the rule of law, HiTV had to put the show on hold pending the resolution of the court case. It is pertinent to note that the concept of NIGERIA is original and bears no similarity of any sort to the BIG Brother concept as it was motivated first and foremost, by the need for national integration, peaceful co-existence and mutual respect among the different ethnic groups that make up Nigeria. It would be recalled that eighteen Nigerians had earlier been selected out of the thousands that applied online to participate in the show. The screening process which was conducted across the six geo-political zones of the country produced the culturally intelligent and smart individuals who would live as Neighbours during the show. The Neighbours are expected to engage in weekly tasks that ignite their intellectual capabilities, knowledge of on-going social issues, cultural/traditional influences and international relations amongst others. The winner of these weekly tasks becomes the ‘’President’’ for the week. These Neighbours would be required to live together in a house called NIGERIA for the eight week duration of the show, though deportations would take place from time to time, until a winner to be called ‘the NIGERIAN’ emerges. According to a statement released by the Marketing Department, “our essence of expending huge resources towards the show is borne out of the need to enhance and propagate the positive image of Nigeria as a whole, its constituent parts and the togetherness which its various peoples share. More importantly, the show will present world-class television entertainment to Nigerians in the comfort of their homes”. Finally, the Management of HiTV would like to commend our teeming subscribers, shortlisted participants and various corporate bodies that signified interest in supporting the project for their patience and understanding.

LePhilippe: That must be a joke right. It's not an essence to launch a site when there are no contents there. Every link has the coming soon extension: http://nigeriarealityshow.com/coming-soon.php |
