You are absolutely right.the hike in price was to allow Nigerians to choose from other option like tstv and the rest, and this will in turn strengthen other cable TV provider





FarahAideed:
What kind of nonsense case is this and who which Judge entertained such nonsense...one would think DSTV increased the price of OXYGEN ..



See I don't understand why Nigerians always behave as if they are stuck with DSTV to the extent of going to get an injunction to stop a tariff increase ... What is is stopping Nigerians from abandoning DSTV for either Kwese TV or another cable TV provider till they have have sense ... you would think that DSTV is selling oxygen and Nigerians can't do without them

Car Talk / Re: FRSC Releases Guidelines For July 1st Enforcement Of Psychiatric Test by silos(m): 7:40am On Jun 18, 2017
AutoReportNG:
The Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC) has released the guidelines for the proposed psychiatric examination of traffic lawbreakers in the country.

Scheduled to begin nationwide on July 1, the test will focus on life-threatening traffic offences namely, use of a phone while driving, route violation, traffic light violation, dangerous driving and overloading.

According to the Corps’ Public Education Officer, Mr Bizi Kazeem, offenders shall have their driver’s licenses withdrawn pending confirmation of their sanity or otherwise.

Kazeem explained that the offenders would bear the full cost of the medical consultation, which shall be conducted at recognised public medical facilities.

“The move arose from observed aggravating crashes and disobedience to road traffic laws and regulation.

“This nation can no longer watch the lives and property of its citizens wasted by a few nonconformists on the highways,’’ he quoted the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, as saying

Meanwhile, some Abuja residents have lauded the FRSC for the move which they said was long overdue.

One of them, Miss Ngozi Okafor, a civil servant, said the behaviour of motorists on the road especially in Abuja called for a check on their mental state.

“Abuja is a place where the roads are too wide for motorists. They prefer driving on sidewalks meant for pedestrians.

“Security agents and private vehicle owners are not left out in this madness. I hope the FRSC will have the courage to also subject them to psychiatric test,’’ she said.(NAN)

Travel / Re: "There Are No Jobs In Dubai, Nigerians Don't Be Deceived" (Photos/video) by silos(m): 8:51pm On May 16, 2017
gentlegenius:
OP, I had a good friend who left this country for Dubai early this year and he's been telling me everything going on there. According to him, the agent that processed his visa lived in Dubai and the visa he secured for him was an employment visa. That means before he even left Nigeria, they have already secured up to four different jobs for him to choose one. When he arrived, he chosed a job in a construction company where he works till now and is living fine.
I know it's not all that rosy in the diaspora but trust me some countries are much better to stay than this horrible country of ours. My friend in Dubai is now urging me to come over there if I can't find a good job in Nigeria this year. He said with a little money, you'll be very OK over there because the cost of living is minimal compared to Naija.
So please gather your facts very well before posting these kind of stories here.


Your friend is not telling the truth, cost of leaving is very high in dubai. If you ask him very he is sharing one S cabin with other ten Indian guys as accommodation.

Sanchez01:

You could have passed without your madness angry

The Kanuris were thought to be the fourth largest ethnic group, beating the Ijaw nation to the spot. There were controversies surrounding this in 2006, following Jonathan's emergence, one which many claimed tipped the Ijaws to the spot against the Kanuris. However, following the wake of of terrorism in Borno and other areas, the size of the ethnic group has dwindled. World atlas confirms this and even claim that Boko Haram is of Kanuri descent. Presently, the Kanuris make up just 4% of the country's population.

Urhobo is the fifth largest ethnic group with over four million people (according to the 2016 census). The number has increased dramatically over the past 10 years.

Education / Dispute Between Author & Publisher: Cassava Republic Press Response To Hanif All by silos(m): 12:29am On Mar 26, 2017
It has come to our attention that our author, Hanif. A. Mohammed called a press conference on Friday 17th March 2017 alleging that we, Cassava Republic Press, are in breach of the following agreement: not paying royalties when due, pressured into signing a contract and conspiring with JAMB to violate his copyright through the use of his book for the third year without informing him. These allegations are blatantly untrue and are attempt to defame our brand. Instead of trial by media, the author’s contract is explicit about actions in case of breach of contract. The author and his lawyers should have evoked this clause but they haven’t.



Contract Pressure: These allegations represent a failure to understand basic publishing contract. In 2014, the author’s book ‘Last Days at Forcados High School’ was selected as a core text for 2014 – 2016 (two years) by JAMB. In order to prevent piracy of the book, we made it a precondition for use of the book that JAMB sell it alongside the registration form at a significantly reduced price. This way both author and publisher can earn from our labour and intellectual property. Since all our early contracts had no clause about royalty terms for bulk purchases, we asked the author to sign an addendum to reflect “bulk” and “export” discounted sales. Through negotiation with the author’s mother and an SAN law firm, the author signed an addendum and we proceeded with finalising our agreement with JAMB to deliver the book. We therefore fail to understand the author’s retrospective claim of being pressured.



Non-Payment of Royalty: As contractually agreed, the author was sent his first royalty statement for this special sale alongside his standard sales royalty statement in December 2015. Payment was made on 31st March 2016. There’s a standard three-month gap between issuing the royalty statement and payment. This is to allow for any queries by the author. We received no such query. For the second year, another statement was sent to him in December 2016 at the time due. Payment is not due until 31st March 2017. However, we wrote to him on 17th March 2017 stating that we cannot pay the monies due until the legal dispute he began has been resolved.



A month after the first royalty money was paid, the author claimed that his statement and the money paid does not reflect the number of candidates registered for JAMB’s UTME in the public domain. We explained to him that be that as it may, royalty can only be paid on monies received and not on amount of books supplied or figures in the public domain. In the presence of his lawyer at the time, we informed him that contractually, he has a right to look into our accounts as evidence of inflows from the sales of his books. He declined, stating that his royalties must reflect what is in the public domain irrespective of how much we have received for his book.



This is an unreasonable request which we duly refused. His lawyers then served us a notice of arbitration. As both Parties could not agree on an arbitrator we applied to court to appoint an arbitrator and assignment is still pending. The resolution of this matter has been further delayed because the author keeps changing his counsel (three different law firms so far) in the middle of the process, frustrating the case and undermining the efforts of our lawyer, Prof Sodipo.



M.O.U: The author’s other claim is that we did not share the MOU signed with JAMB with him. He never asked for an agreement from the outset until he started his legal proceedings. From our perspective, the JAMB deal is like any other standard bulk distribution arrangement between a publisher and a buyer; the signature of the author is not required. We did however inform him of the details of the contract.



Conspiring with JAMB: Our final agreement with JAMB was for two years (2014 – 2016), however, like the author, we had hoped that the project would continue for a third year because we still have a few hundred thousand copies of the book in our warehouse which we cannot sell in the open market because they have “Not for sale” imprinted on them. This is a huge loss that has to be borne by us and not the author. Much to our disappointment, JAMB, decided to discontinue ‘Last Days at Forcados High’.



The transaction with JAMB has been an inspiration to publishers in Nigeria and across the continent in their fight against piracy. The JAMB transaction foiled the efforts of pirates who are now struggling to offload their edition of the book for N100. Had we gone to the open market to sell the book as many publishers before us have done, there is no way the author would have been able to sell over two million copies and the revenue he has earned and is still to earn from 2016 sales. This is an amazing opportunity for publishers and authors in Nigeria to truly earn from the fruit of their labour.



It is indeed unfortunate that the author would choose a media trial rather than wait for the legal process he instigated to conclude. His action is an attempt to defame our company’s good standing in the court of public opinion. It’s a pity that the author would say that he has not been paid royalties since 2014 when in the first year of the JAMB transaction he received a sum well into the eight figures in royalties based faithfully on actual sales we received, with another payment still pending.



Rather than celebrate the ingenuity that has enabled the JAMB deal with its potential to curb piracy and protect intellectual property in the country, this has been a disappointing process dealing with Hanif’s protestations and his continually changing team of advisors’ lack of understanding about contracts and the implication of this kind of structuring to the Nigerian publishing eco-system. Still, we are confident that our company has behaved honourably throughout the process.
Education / Re: Author Of 'Last Days At Forcados High School' To Sue JAMB, Publisher by silos(m): 5:51pm On Mar 25, 2017
The fact that three senior advocate has dropped the case shows that the author has no case at all.

jamb only signed contract with the publisher, therefore the author is not a party to the contract why did he wants the publisher to violate the terms of the contract

He is one of the luckiest author in Nigeria, in recent time, he has forgotten that if not for strategy employ by the publisher convincing jamb to sell the book along with the form, piracy would have hijack the whole thing.

Cassava Republic press have integrity.
