Posted by admin, Barely a month after Muhammadu Buhari , became Nigeria’s President, many Nigerians are already reminding him of his campaign promises.

The budget-conscious segment of the pay- Television market in Nigeria has been strident in its push for a pay-as-watch (PAYW) model. This push is encouraged by the use of the pay-as-you- go (PAYG) model in the telecommunications sector, which also adopted the per-second billing system after an initial reluctance. Pay-As-You-Watch, most pay-TV subscribers are convinced, will free them from monthly contracts and introduce greater flexibility in how they watch television. More than that, many are convinced that the model is already in operation in South Africa and want its adoption in Nigeria. There is no such thing as pay-as-you-watch TV in South Africa. What exists is the monthly contract model like we have in Nigeria and other countries of the world. Pay-as-you-watch is often confused with pay-per- view (PPV). Are they the same? No. The PPV model allows a subscriber to watch some special events, usually of the high-ticket variety in sports and entertainment, by pay...

It’s not always his or her fault things aren’t working out. And just because that is so doesn’t mean it’s your fault either — there’s probably no need for you to feel guilty. When some...
