“It’s a way of mocking Nigeria” – Remo Omokri calls out DSTV for assigning Channel 419 to NTA
Nigerian lawyer, Reno Omokri, has called out Multichoice’s Digital Satelite Television for assigning channel 419 to Nigerian government-owned broadcast station, Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).
The Nigeria activist claimed that the allocation of the frequency channel 419 to NTA was intentional and not a mere coincidence.
According to Reno, it was DSTV’s way of mocking Nigeria.
The iconic number “419” refers to the section of the Nigerian Criminal code dealing with fraud and the charges for offenders.
Reno Omokri tweets:
As a result, Nigerians refer to any form of financial fraud or scam as ‘419.’
Reno said that DSTV assigning channel 419 to NTA ‘carries a very powerful subliminal message.’
Why has @DSTV, a South African firm, chosen to give the Nigerian Television Authority, @NTANewsNow, the channel, 419?
That is NOT a coincidence. It is a mockery of our nation and its citizens. If Lai Mohammed knows his duties, @DStvNg should be answering questions!
