Does the name Toyin Subair ring a bell? Yes, he is the guy who emerged from nowhere to take the Nigerian pay television space by storm with HiTV, which for a time gave DSTV a run for its money and almost ran the South African satellite television company out of business.
In those happier times when HiTV was at the height of its fame, Subair became the toast of the Nigerian celebrity space. He was one of the most sought after personalities around as people literally begged him to give speeches at their events.
All that changed when HiTV lost the rights to broadcast the English Premier League, the proverbial cash cow which had been the reason for the explosion in its subscriber base. This development began the downward spiral which culminated in the company’s winding up and subsequent extinction. Since then, Subair, a seasoned lawyer, became as scarce as rain in harmattan period.
He was said to have left the shores of the country for greener pastures in the United Kingdom. The handsome dude is said to be putting finishing touches to a project he has been working on for some time.
