Reno Omokri Reacts As DSTV Attaches ‘4I9’ To NTA
Controversial former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has called out DSTV for assigning channel 419 to Nigerian government-owned broadcast station, NTA.
In a post shared on Instagram, Reno questioned the South African company on the reasons it chose to assign the Nigerian Television Authority the frequency channel 419.
According to Omokri, the action was a deliberate effort to demarcate Nigeria as a brand, noting that it was a mockery of the nation and its citizens.
He further went on to stress that if the Nigerian Broadcast commission had not placed so much priority on sanctioning radio and TV stations criticizing Buhari, then they would have spotted and try to fix it.
“Why has DSTV, a South African company operating in Nigeria, chosen to give the Nigerian Television Authority, @NTANetwork, the frequency channel of 419?
“That is NOT a coincidence. It is a deliberate action. It is subversive and carries a very powerful subliminal message that demarkets Nigeria as a brand.
“It is a mockery of our nation and its citizens. And if Lai Mohammed was alive to his responsibilities, @DSTVNigeria ought to be answering questions!
“The Nigerian Broadcast Commission, that ought to have spotted this, are instead more focused on sanctioning radio and TV stations that criticise the Buhari administration. What a pity!”
