NBC fines N5m penalty on Channels TV for breaking broadcast code during interview with Labour party’s Vice Presidential candidate, Baba Datti-Ahmed
Channels Television has been fined N5 million by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for violating broadcasting regulations during an interview with the Vice-Presidential candidate of Labour party, Datti Baba-Ahmed.
In a letter titled “Broadcast of an Inciting Interview, A Sanction” and signed by Balarabe Ilelah, the commission’s Director-General, the fine was communicated to the Chief Executive Officer of the television station.
It read in part
‘’The NBC monitored the broadcast of a live interview of the running mate of the Labour Party Vice presidential candidate, Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed, by the anchor of Politics Today, Seun Okibaloye, on Wednesday, March 22. Dr Baba-Ahmed said it will be unconstitutional to swear in an elected president on May 29, 2023, because of election irregularities,” Ilelah said in the letter.
The NBC chairman cited the interview as volatile and capable of inciting public disorder, thereby violating sections of the broadcasting code. These sections include the prohibition of broadcasts that encourage or incite public disorder, contain offensive references to any person or organization, or are generally disrespectful to human dignity.

Ilelah further noted that the broadcasting code stipulates that broadcasters should ensure that no program contains anything that subverts constituted authority.
“Consequently, on the following infractions, Channels Television is hereby sanctioned and shall pay a penalty of N5,000,000 (five million naira) only in the first instance” he said
He added that any further infraction by the television station would attract higher sanctions.
“You are advised to pay within two weeks from the day of receipt of this letter or the penalty will be graduated,” the NBC Director-General said
The commission’s decision to impose the fine on Channels Television followed a petition by the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, regarding the interview. Further details can be found here.
A short-statured Ghanaian woman has sparked online debate after making contentious remarks regarding her romantic relationship preferences.
During a recent interview with De God Son TV, the diminutive lady expressed her aversion to dating guys of shorter height despite her diminutive Ghanaian woman. She remarked that short men do not match her “specifications” for relationships.
When questioned about her explanation, she stated that she sees shorter men as resembling infants, even though they are adults.
“I have a 7-year-old son, so dating a short man feels like dating my son,” she explained, finding parallels between her personal and romantic lives.

Bisi further added that an average man expects to follow a predefined path of growth, which includes teenage years through university level, to get a degree and a job.
He noted that he couldn’t follow the predefined path of growth, which was why he came out to declare his sexual orientation.
Bisi Alimi further said that his making his sexual orientation public doesn’t mean he did to throw a party, but rather to shun all expected people placed on him.
”I am not coming out to spite you; I have been gay since way back; I didn’t just become gay yesterday.”
