Lia Mohammed is the drafting the lies they will use to defend PMB

TSTV Africa management has reacted to released memos on the Internet stating TSTV agreement with some sports channels are illegal.

In a telephone conversation with May Ubeku, Head of Corporate Communication, Mr Madu Ugo on Wednesday 4th October, 2017, said, “Our attention has been drawn to memos circulating on social media claiming TSTV illegally used the logo of Bein Sport and Tuner on its website. We wish to state that this is malicious and false. The memos circulating on social media are FAKE. Both letters were packaged in a single brown envelop and was hurriedly dropped at our office by an unidentified person.”

“TSTV has a non-disclosure agreement with Bein Sports and Turner to air their stations on TSTV satellite Television. The Nigeria Broadcasting Commission team were also in Qatar to confirm our agreement with Bein Sports and also have a copy of our agreement with Bein Sport,” Ugo added.

Nigerians should kindly disregard the documents because they are frivolous. TSTV is prepared to offer affordable and excellent digital services to Nigerians and Africans completely hitch free.

The media is a very important tool in the building of any nation. It is the watchdog of any society. It  plays a very strategic role in the shaping of the mind of the citizenry of a country including their perception of issues and how they react to them. A society cannot be complete without a vibrant media standing in for the people and fulfilling the people's right to know.


The media bears a heavy burden especially in a country like Nigeria where sensationalism, prejudice and half truths have pervaded the information stream that feeds the people. These factors are capable of relegating objectivity to the background; hence without the media, it will almost be impossible for the people to be kept abreast of the happenings in their society. This implies that if the people are not properly informed, there will be a problem in the response pattern. 


It is with these expectations that some of us are worried by the activities of Omoyele Sowore and his media company, the Sahara Reporters. The publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr Omoyele Sowore is one of the most controversial characters in Nigeria today. His philosophy, one which has been transmitted to his company has turned media business to one done without integrity and at the same time open only to the highest bidder. He has become the man for any hatchet job in Nigeria's online journalism. 


While some will say he has a knack for investigative journalism, it is pretty clear that these investigations have been strategically targeted at certain politicians to tarnish and rubbish their hard earned reputations. These activities cannot be categorised as any other thing but blackmail. It is either Pastor Suleiman and the Stephanie Otobo story, Bukola Saraki or even Dino Melaye and many others. All these cases have been proven to be blackmail but disguised as activism and the agitation for civil rights. What happened to the Pastor and Stephanie story sef?


If you need a man to bring down a politician or any highly placed individual in Nigeria, the man to contact is Sowore and his media agency. It has become that bad. It is also surprising that Nigerians continue to fall for the nefarious activities of this news agency. In these days that fake news has become the order of the day as cited by the United States President, Donald Trump, Sahara Reporters might easily fall into that category. 


It is also clear that he has been unleashed by the Buhari administration (one that his medium helped bring into power) on the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu to demystify him. This is evidenced by his obtaining of the hard copy of the court order for proscription of group, immediately it was granted the Attorney General of the Federation by a Federal High Court in Abuja. It is apparent that it is now the turn of Kanu and his group. 


One of those gaffes made by his outfit was the continuous calling out of various names the day money was discovered by the EFCC at one Ikoyi residence. As one that is the characteristic of the media outfit, they started throwing different names out there and linking them to the money even when the EFCC was yet to give a position on the ownership of the loot. At first, Sahara Reporters linked the money to a former PDP Chairman, Adamu Muazu and after the man denied ownership of the money, they linked it again to Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, former Managing Director (Retail) of NNPC. Both claims by the outfit where proven false when eventually the NIA boss, Mr. Ayo Oke was linked to the cash.   


My people have a saying that a man paraded as a thief round a market while people were buying and selling, cannot be taken back there when the market is closed only to be exonerated. It is on that premise that I make bold to say that linking both individuals to the money was nothing but an assassination of their character, one that no amount of apology can repair. At a time when people are trying to protect their reputation, such behaviour is totally shameful and condemnable.


Sowore is believed to be working for some powerful political interests in Nigeria and one of them is the former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Many observers have alleged that the outfit never peddles news items capable of hurting Tinubu or the Lagos Lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana.


These allegations are corroborated by the fact that the news outfit has been releasing phone conversations in audio and transcript forms including confidential memos and yet our security agencies have not thought it wise to investigate the sources of these leaked conversations. It presupposes that the media outfit has been bugging phones or they have agents working for them in the telecommunication companies. Even though it is said that the journalist never releases his/her source, we must be mindful of the invading of the privacy of citizens by unauthorized persons because it is a criminal. 


It is because of this lack of integrity that a court ordered that he pay the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, 4 billion naira in damages for his libellous publications against him. He has also been accused of creating groups that are always on hand to scuttle processes of the law whenever he finds himself in the police net. In one particular case, he was held in police custody in Panti, Lagos after he had been accused of extortion and his boys came to cause trouble till he was let go.  


He has been accused of being involved in a gang rape while he was a student at the University of Lagos. An allegation that was corroborated by a former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro and it is on record that he has not for once owned or refuted the allegation but instead he has consistently cried foul and claimed that politicians are sponsoring media attacks against him. For someone who claims to be an activist and a freedom fighter, it is an irony that he continues to shy away from these allegations. It is said that he who must come to equity must come with clean hands.


His deliberate strategy to avoid discussing the issues surrounding the rape allegation against him speaks volumes and it does go a long way to prove that he actually committed the said act. In the eyes of the law, rape is almost as weighty as murder and victims carry the scars/trauma of such ugly incidents for the rest of their lives. Without proper counselling, many of them never regain their self esteem and some have been known to attempt suicide.


Many individuals have alleged that Sowore has approached them and one amongst many is Lekan Fadodu who claimed that Sowore called him on the phone to demand for a bribe of over 200 million naira threatening that if he failed to provide it, he'll use his medium against Lekan. These are very weighty allegations against him and this leads one to ask, if Sahara Reporters is the only online news medium in Nigeria. 


It is our duty to put Sahara Reporters in check including asking that Sowore explains his role as regards the allegations levelled against him. We must not allow Sahara Reporters turn journalism to one that will be reserved for the highest bidder and we will not allow him blackmail others for money while his own allegations remain unanswered.

THE BEGINNING OF APC REJECTION HAS STARTED, AS THOUSANDS IN JIGAWA DUMP APC FOR PDP

– Apologize to Lamido

BY Pat PA Okon

OVER 3,500 members of the APC from Mallam Madori Local Government of Jigawa State, weekend decamped to the PDP and were received by 2019 presidential aspirant, Dr. Sule Lamido at his home town of Bamaina.

The leader of the decamping APC members, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdullahi Lamma said they were misled to follow the APC.

‘And having realized our mistake, we are pleading with our leader to forgive us for being ungrateful for all the good deeds he did for us and the State’ Lamma said.

According to Mansur Ahmed, the Social Media Aide to Dr. Lamido, while responding, the leader of the talakawa, Dr. Lamido said it is not bad if one thought all the good things PDP did were not enough and so decided to run to the APC only to discover that his former home is better and he decided to return. He said PDP is a home to them and there is no place like home.

The leader who also took time to lecture them on many aspects of politics and the current state of situation in the country, told them to feel at home as they will be treated equally.

These are the pictorial highlights of the event.

Hahahahaha


The north rigged? I guess southwest rigged too?

Your people chose not to come out to vote, those who did voted Jonathan on the other hand literally everyone in the North came out to vote 80% polled for Buhari

. Why is it hard for mofos to get over the defeat and accept they messed up? First you claimed North used underage voters bikonu is it only the elderlies or youths / over aged voters in your states?


Then you claimed Buhari imported foreigners to rig on that scale at least 2M foreigners will be required but how can we recieve 2M guests and not feel it? Economically, psychologically, emotionally?


Abeg trafficate left make you enter right abeg

Buhari will defeat Fayose in his hometown.

fayose have defeated opposition party back to back in Ekiti.

Simongm:
If only southerners are united, i don't see Northerners rulling this country again.

you are right , while the southerners all fight themselves due to their high level of literacy. The north uses their illiteracy to unite their people against the south, thats why they always win

Nemesis1:
Jonathan defeated Buhari in December 2014 polls and even in March 2015

yes untill the the north rigged to favour Buhari

texazzpete:
In an actual, free and fair election...Fayose will not get 1% of the vote.

But this is a moot point. PDP will zone the slot to the North as they have promised. All this noise by Fayose is to secure himself the VP slot if possible.

I think PDP knows they don’t even need a South East VP. South Easterners will vote for PDP no matter what.

Even though i support the party zoning formula. Fayose still have the right to contest.

Tapout:
Wait o, some people still voted for Buhari

2019 | Fayose Defeated Buhari, Atiku Others In An Online Poll

The governor of Ekiti State, Dr Ayodele Peters Fayose who recently declared his intention to run for Nigerian President in 2019 has continued to enjoy massive support from citizens across the country.

The governor who came first in an online poll with 31% above Buhari, Atiku and other contenders.

From what is gathered by WAILERSNG.com, opinions are still divided especially among youths on social media over the decision of Fayose to run for president, however the poll may also be an indication of the growing popularity of Mr. Fayose amongst Nigerians.

Governor Fayose has been the most vilified governor under the present administration of President Buhari because of his opposition to the ruling government, despite that, his voice continue to remain strong as an opposition figure.

On the day he was flagging off his presidential bid in Abuja, EFCC operatives were in Ekiti to arrest his commissioner of finance and accountant general of the state, a move by Buhari's administration to strangle him of financial power with zero tolerance for an opposition which generate massive outrage as Buhari continues in his tyranny path.

Fayose is bold unlike others who may still be afraid of Buhari by not declaring their intention to run for President while election is less than 2 years, one of the argument of Mr. Fayose was that, how can a candidate who want to be President step forward in like 3 months to election when in other countries, electioneering campaign takes a minimum of two years before the election day.

The governor against the Zoning formula of his party has said, he is a Nigerian, that he also has the right to declare interest to run for President just like any other candidate from other part of the country, stressing that if he lost at the party's primary, he would not leave the opposition PDP.

Enough of Dstv ripping Nigerians off. Welcome TSTV

Amidst rumours of frustrating TSTV Africa take off, the Managing Director/CEO, Echefu Bright Ikechukwu has said October 1 remains sacrosanct.


The management on Thursday disclosed this in a chat with some bloggers who paid a courtesy visit to TSTV office. "Our license has been issued by NBC and we are set for October 1st and will be giving out 5000 Free decoders on that day, " Echefu said.


According to Echefu, Africa Health Television AHT gave birth to TSTV. We've successfully ran African Health Television for more than 5 years without hitches. We have no doubts whatsoever that TSTV would offer an excellent and affordable digital satellite television services to Nigerians.

Speaking on the dealership and other issues,  Head of Corporate Communications, Magu Ugo, said, TSTV is a Nigeria story told to Nigerians by Nigerians. Therefore we are 24 hours available for Nigerians. We can be reached via our website portal and social media handles. Our phone numbers are displayed on these online portals, he added.


TSTV is an indigenous digital satellite TV service, airing over 96 channels. The innovation to have a homegrown digital satellite service came from a serious solution finding exploits of African Health Television. Hence her official launch has been fixed for 1st October, 2017 to share in the significance of a new nation with aspirations for genuine change and development.

The harsh economic realities in Nigeria have prompted the initiators to share in finding solutions to ameliorate the high rate of unemployment. It was only recently that the National Bureau of Statistics released a disheartening report of the rising rate of unemployment. In fact unemployment had risen to 14.2% at the time of the report. In this light Tstv has come onboard to reduce that number by employing over 5000 Nigerian Youths.

The 1st October launch shall commence with a Green carpet before the official broadcast begin at 5:30pm at Sheraton hotel with so many packages to fly with, amongst which is the 5000 free decoders to be given on the day.  Prior to the launching, TSTV digital center and facility tour takes place alongside the building commissioning on Saturday,  30th September, 2017.

Over the years, many pay TV companies have come and gone; some died because of poor strategic planning, negligence and lack of patronage. The commercialisation of television stations has created competition in terms of content delivery and signal clarity. TSTV boasts of special features such as 20GB complimentary, PVR function, Pause function, Video call, WiFi and 24 hours customer services online.

Indeed the time to back the campaign of "buy Naija to grow Naira " with action is here as TSTV is purely Nigerian, by Nigerians and for Nigerians.
