I remember how one frozen food company used the picture of Cristiano Ronaldo holding fish like Peter in the Bible.


Until these guys starts suing them for right infringement, they'll continue cashing out.

Here you go!

chrisxxx:

He does not know that DSTV sponsors EPL and has the right to use the picture of any player of choice in the EPL for advert.

No sir, that is not correct. It is not a carte blanche. You cannot assume that.

Asiseeit:

Here you go!

Angelfrost:


Well, then he should write to them via his lawyer expressing his displeasure or misgivings, stating clearly that he doesn't want to be promoted in any way.

DSTV will simply respond with an explanation and an unreserved apology, with his image scrapped from any future promotions.

This social media noise comes off as immature and attention-seeking!!! Life is not that hard!

Yes! Look! Perhaps he is not wealthy enough to ignore, unlike other big names in football. But as you ve rightly asserted they are clearly promoting him, for some reason he failed to see that.

Exactly!.

PrinceGallant:
To me, he ought to be grateful to the DStv for making him popular. Suing them is an act of ingratitude.

Sue wetin??! Lol...

He is merely thrilled that they used his image... Normally, Jamie Vardy is who they use representative for Leicester!

I can almost swear that seeing his image up there thrilled him to high heavens!!!

Ndidi please don't fall my hand!

Sheybi dstv bought rights to the EPL which means they can use anyone playing in the EPL as adverts na Abi no be so?

Princeofwales:
They paid the EPL and the EPL Paid your club and your club paid you for your image rights.. Case close

Stop talking nonsense.

Image rights is different from TV rights.

OnlyDeCapPlease:


Chai Naija. So this display board requires its own generator? Cost of doing business there must be madt!

You have no idea... You just have no idea! Only the literal "Strong" survive in this nation!

So in Nigeria, you think vardy is more popular than Ndidi that they would use his picture?

Or you think Ndidi is not a senior player in Leicester like vardy?

Remove inferiority complex from your thinking.

Vardy is not more important than Ndidi in Leicester.

The same content that they are advertising. They are telling us to watch EPL which they paid for d rights.. Who and who can we see if we subscribe ?? Ndidi and co.

SuperSport are serious guys.

I'm sure these image rights (in this context) are included in their agreement with the Premier League.

SuperSport pays the Premier League. The Premier League pays Leicester, and Leicester pays Ndidi's salary.

First of all..

I thought since they (dstv) pay broadcast rights, they can use any image of their choice so what is Ndidi saying?

Lawyers in the house, is this true?

Ndidi EPL has paid your club for your image and your club have in turn paid you your percentage for image right so go back to training amd leave social media now

Until data becomes very cheap for streaming dstv will continue to cash out with thier made for naija specs.


Once streaming tv comes online that everyone can afford it like netflix, amazon prime, hulu, HBO, etc dstv will die a natural death.


I dont hate on them though.

CamusMidas:
If they thought it was easy dey for just use Buhari picture naw.

U no get joy o

They could have used Ronaldo, Vardi , Messi or Rashford

Is it a crime that they decided to identify with a Nigerian player

you must be a mad fool.

BlessedNuel:
To be a celebrity dey sweet no be small...the guy seff dey gentle...from his wordings...he just dey catch cruise

Yes but it has its costs.

You can rarely ever live a peaceful normal life again.

With huge expectations everywhere are everyone out to grab to take from you.

Baawaa:
Sue them,but you must get good lawyers

no case. He's a player in the premier league and DSTV has exclusive rights to broadcast matches and still images in Nigeria. So something like implied consent

Tonymegabush1:
Me just dey laugh .,. If na me na to locate a sound legal team sue them.. same multi choice that once enter onitsha begin disconnect cables upndown for illegal connection biko is this one no be illegal advert

after suing them what would happen

, Oga charge those idiots, they are realling reaping nigerians off

DSTV bought the right for English Premier league in Nigeria, Wilfred Ndidi is part of English Premier league,, how else are they going to advertise their goods without using any of the players that is part of English Premier league. Wilfred doesn't have a case here

CSTRR:

Stop talking nonsense.

Image rights is different from TV rights.

There's no way this isn't included in their contract with the EPL.

If they use Ndidi to advertise Shoprite, na there wahala for dey.

This will be like complaining that EA Sports didn't pay him individually for being in FIFA.

see reasoning. This is why africa remains very backward.
Do u know that a man sued coca cola for millions of dollars in US and won because the company filmed him drinking coke and used it for advert without his permission?

Reference:


No sir, that is not correct. It is not a carte blanche. You cannot assume that.

Bros na the truth. He signed off his image right when he signed his contract.

CSTRR:

Remove inferiority complex from your thinking.

Vardy is not more important than Ndidi in Leicester.

Sigh... Any small thing, y'all will just start foaming in the mouth forming unnecessary patriotism.

Have you not been watching DSTV or following their EPL match promos??! Whenever Leicester games are displayed, what player's face pops up most of the time??!

For Man United games, between Bruno and Rashford, who gets the cover??! Who is more important??!... Have Mane and Salah not been the poster boys for Liverpool games for 2 years running??!

Na wa for una o!!!

Calitoscassius:
well.. if that is the case then he should sue EPL then.
