The launch of Nigeria’s Digital Switch Over (DSO) earlier today marks the actualisation of a longstanding dream to transition our broadcasting from analogue to digital. It represents an important milestone in our broader digital transformation agenda and another demonstration of H.E. President @officialABAT, GCFR’s commitment to investing in the foundational infrastructure that unlocks growth and prosperity for decades to come.
The DSO represents a major advancement for broadcasting whose significance extends far beyond television. By leveraging NigComSat’s satellite infrastructure, Nigerians can benefit from clearer access to information, broader educational and cultural content, improved quality of service, and greater inclusion, ensuring that no one is left behind simply because of where they live.
The Digital Switch Over is one of the first visible benefits of a much larger national digital infrastructure strategy. Under this administration, Nigeria is embarking on the deployment of 90,000 kilometres of open-access fibre infrastructure through Project BRIDGE, connecting communities, businesses, institutions, and public services across the country. At the same time, Mr President has approved investments in two additional satellites that will further strengthen our capacity in communications and digital services.
Together, these investments will create a truly transformative digital backbone capable of reaching every Nigerian, regardless of geography. As our digital infrastructure expands, it creates unprecedented opportunities for broadcasters, content creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators to reach audiences across West Africa and beyond. Infrastructure does not merely move signals; it amplifies culture, ideas, and influence as we move closer to a more connected, more inclusive, and more prosperous Nigeria.

WATCH 🇳🇬📚: "After every book that carries the history of Ilorin was destroyed, I managed to find one which backs the historical fact that Ilorin is fully Yorubaland" — Ilorin locals
Fulani elites are threatening us right now. They have used power of the government&arrested2of our courageous Hausa activist1in Kano&1 Sokoto.If there is any agency that can help us,we definitely need assistance. Their only offense is that:Hausas should stop voting for Fulani
A situation where leaders keep pardoning captured terrorists, sponsoring mass wedding for multitudes of unemployed youths while poverty grows beyond measures will lead to catastrophic destination. If you like, keep blaming Tinubu.
I'm very tired right now, but I need to say this with a very heavy heart.
Earlier today, I read a report containing the names of all 136 Nigerian prison inmates involved in the Nigerian-Ethiopian Prisoner Transfer Agreement facilitated by the Honourable Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ma'am Bianca Ojukwu, and every single one of them is Igbo. I mean, every single one of them.
Is it just me, or is this extremely alarming? Does it mean that Igbos are the only Nigerians in Ethiopia?
Does it mean it is only Igbos that were in Ethiopian prisons? Were there no Yorubas, Hausas, Ijaws, Tivs, Efiks, Ibibios or people from other parts of Nigeria there?
How did we end up making up the entire list? What exactly are our young people doing in Ethiopia in such numbers that 136 names returned and all of them are from one ethnic group?
What does this say about us as a people? What are we not talking about? And why are we not having this difficult conversation in AlaIgbo?
@alpowerful1@esther_sam87534@NigeriaStories Who is your southern bro, your people are in the same bracket and even are worse with all the fake products and drugs y'all keep selling endangering Yoruba life's!.. Bunch of terrorists no difference
@Agbomjrn@Sistaliano@drobafemihamzat You must think everyone is a vagabond like your people. Look in the mirror and stop embarrassing yourselves all around the world! Mofo
Igbos have contributed to the development of Lagos, yes, just like every other tribe; But Lagos has also given back to the Igbos who reside there. If the state wasn't so welcoming and profitable, people won't be relocating there in large numbers. Facts!
That said, the state belongs to the Yorubas 100%, point blank period; It is located in the South-West making it geographically a Yoruba Land, and historically speaking it is also a Yoruba land. Lagos doesn't even share borders with the South-East so the claim of ownership is invalid.
Now Illbliss asks "why is it always a problem when it's the igbos?" and that's a good question; The anwser is quite simple, people like him make it an issue by trying to claim Lagos forgetting that it is not in their rights to do so. You can't be loud and disrespectful and expect positive energy.
