Nigerians React As DSTV Move NTA To Channel ‘419’


Aug 08, 2020, 


Nigerians have taken to social to query DSTV for moving NTA to channel 419.

It is not clear when and why the cable network moved the Nigeria’s national TV to the new channel, but many Nigerians started commenting on it few days ago.



419 has long been used in Nigeria to make reference to advanced fee fraud, where scammers individuals promise victims a significant sum of money in return for a small up-front payment.

It started with Nigeria’s Criminal Code Section 419 which states that any person who obtains by false pretence, and with intent to defraud is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment.

Nigerians including comedian and actor, AY Makun, took to Twitter to make the observation while querying DSTV as to whether the reshuffle, which also placed Channels TV on number 420, was an attempt “to send a message.”


“Was this deliberate or what? Is someone trying to send a message or plain coincidence?,” AY asked.

In response to AY’s tweet, a fan took a hit at the South African satellite company, writing: “Why should they use 419 of all numbers? NTA is the largest television network in Africa, so they ought to be careful.”


“I don’t think there’s a problem with that. The TV station is in its right position. No station dey help am drag am,” another Twitter user wrote.

NTA had earlier come under criticism over its coverage of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers between the country’s men football team and their Republic of Benin counterparts.
