With regards to the media, Nigeria appears to be coming up….
But in the course of the evolution, what haven’t we seen? At some point Galaxy
TV (Lagos) presenters were sitting on stools and a certain cameraman was funny
enough to show the full shot of a presenter who had removed one of his legs
from his palm slippers and had put it on the adjoining legs of the stool…hehehe!
Take note, they don’t sit on stools anymore though…*big smile.
Some other newscasters will not just cease to amaze us with
their dressing…and the reporters? Oh, goodness! ... funny accents, pronunciations
and of course, names. AIT is particularly known for uniquely-named reporters.
Some other television stations have just one background with
which almost all their programmes are presented…one brown curtain here in a
particular local NTA station comes to mind. Others steal sports highlights from
stations like Supersports in such a way that even a baby will recognize that
there is something fishy about the absurd information covering the top of the
television screen where the Supersports logo would originally have been.
What’s more, some television stations start airing interesting
movies that they never complete; they just cut the movie short without any
apology and slot in programmes upon programmes until it dawns on you that they
have no plans of allowing you to see the conclusion of the movie. And talk
about the repetition of the same movies over and over again…
Lest I sound judgemental, I think these stations are actually
improving by the day but really…which is your worst Nigerian TV station?
