NTA yanks off Funmi Iyanda's "Change A Life programme" while running live

So yesterday January 1st, was media personality Funmi Iyanda's annual "Change in Life" TV special, an edition where she honoured Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola in appreciation for his support for the foundation over for the past 8 years. The show was supposed to air live on NTA but the station only showed it for some time and later yanked it off. Annoying thing for the host and guests was that while on set they thought they were live on air not knowing they'd already been yanked off. NTA later said the programme was yanked off due to internal Communication Error. See the tweets after the cut...

    @ Dele momodu, we know all ur plans. Must u politicize everything? D station was apologetic and says they will air d program again. Funmi Iyanda sounds understanding. Y is dis a big issue. D greatest problem we av in Nigeria is that we keep on working against ourselves. Can't we be one for crying out loud! Am waiting for d daft people who will call Jonathan's name on dis issue. Rubbish!

    Honoring and commending a governor from a rival party on national tv barely six weeks to the general elections, I guess that is unacceptable to the ruling party. There is always a blessing to every disappoint tho, I'm eagerly looking forward to the total number of views the show wld earn online. @losjepush

    Gone are the days of technical stupidity, now is the tym for substantial truth. If they like, let dem burn dia studio, fashola and his team appear sane and sound. Truth must always be told, no matter whose ox is gored. Dats d same way dey came for femi adesina concerning an article he wrote. I dnt knw d people doing dis, bt i sure know dey are merchants of blackmail and collective enemies of national prosprity.
