Re: Reps Move To End Dstv Monopoly by ChukwuCantDie: 2:55pm On Oct 23, 2014
abatically:


Nigerians are so emotional and will always shy away from the truth, that is what is killing us in this country. So because DSTV is not a Nigerian company then we must sleigh them? When HITV was available we all knew the terrible service they offered, we still patronized them until they folded up... Is that dstv's fault? Dude, Nigerian or not, u can't shy away from the truth. It is left for us to work hard and create a service that will be in the same standard to that foreign company that we so much hate. Until then, DSTV will still rule. Of u can't afford DSTV premium then pay for family. If u still want afford family then buy gotv, it is still owned by multichoice. If u can't afford neither then work harder. Or go and hang urself. From what u wrote it is very obvious who is sick in the head here.
For me it's not about being able to afford anything, I just want the oyibos gone from here along with the Lebanese and the Asians but the oyibos must go first.

The modern day computer you are using right now was invented by an African-American, Mark Dean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Dean_%28computer_scientist%29 he also invented the colour PC monitor.

Also the blueprint for the first ever phone was drawn by an African-American by the name of Lewis Latimer, he also invented the light bulb.

Another clone of stupidity. Average South black lives better than average Nigerian. Their GDP per capita is above $6k while date of Naija is $3k. RSA workers earn higher minimum wage than Naija. RSA govt provides housing, medical and social welfare to the poor unlike in Naija where the poor are taxed. Do you know why Kerosine is sold to the poor at the highest price -N250/litre while Petrol is sold N97 to the rich and middle class?

Okay, so you have just admitted to everybody that you are sick in the head, i rest my case. Forgot to add I drive an Innoson SUV. Have a nice day.


Admitted you said; It's my user I.D.. grin

You drive an Innoson SUV huh? Good for you.. Did you know that your innosn SUV (I am guessing the IVMG5) is the exact same car (just a lower version in terms of 'option') as the Gonow Asooed G5, which is the original and is manufactured by a Chinese company called GAC motors.

So technically, you drive a Chinese car that's assembled in Nigeria under a different name. grin

I am sure you don't need to be told that the Chinese treat Niggas worse than Europeans and are only topped by the Indians..


Buts I am sure you also knew this.. grin

Nigerian government..... . So they knew all this while that we have been suffering in the hands of
dstv I and my friend discussed last month that the best way to deal with south Africa regarding the 9.3m dollars scandal and their refusal to cooperate initially is to cripple dstv In nigeria who makes far more than that amount monthly. And here we are just like magic our reps are working to do that. Everyone just watch how the 9.3m scandal would conclude.

*modified *
Let's wait and see how long it will take before
any bill is passed and implemented. When it
comes to making laws that will benefit the
common man, we know how our reps and
senators behave.
But, it didn't take them anytime to approve the
borrowing of ONE BILLION DOLLARS proposed by
the clown to FIGHT the bokohaRAMS that they're
currently negotiating PEACE with.
Meanwhile, I don't see DSTV doing any monopoly
here. Our own indigenous providers too are very
greedy!
How much is Dasat subscription?
How much is Startimes subscription?
How much is Hitv subscription?


Of course there is big monopoly @ firstolalekan...Dstv cant be as cheap as Startimes, Dasat & even the Hitv otherwise we wont be talking about this. It is even cheaper in South Africa n other African nations but i don't all SA firms in Nigeria seem to exploit us too much take MTN for instance.
Isnt it funny that with all our open eye this SA firm go dey finish us like so...imagine, we re still been charged even when u not watching.....it not so in SA n even Kenya

The House of Reps Members are clueless I swear..


DSTV does not have any monopoly, they are simply the best in the Market and thats why all their competitors cant keep up. #Period.

The moment the reps fhuck with Multichoice, they would either water down their programming to match whatever rates the government imposes of them or pack up and leave..

The competition that came in the form of HITV saw how difficult the satellite game was and folded up.

Cable TV is not cheap anywhere in the world. DSTV prices are almost similar across Africa.. WHy is it Nigerians that keep complaining as if DSTV is part of their fundamental human right as a Nigerian. Why has the House of Reps not audited NTA to find out why the biggest Government owned Television station in Africa is so useless.

Nigerians are their own worst Enemy


Good Move people say.. I laugh.

Has anybody bothered to ask why DSTV is the King of African Satellite Television?! The answer is simple;

1.Innovation.. Lets look back to when the cable satellite game started in ernest in Nigeria. It was DSTV with that Giant Dish that takes almost 3 days to install and Multi-cipher (or something like that). Multicipher didnt blow up because they didnt have as much programmes and content as DSTV. In the period between when the cable game started and now, DSTV has gone from through about 3 sizes of Dish each better than the next. DSTV has gone through many evolutions in the cable box, from the standard single view box, to the dual view to the HD PVR box to the Explora box presently and you and I know that it wouldnt take more than 4 years for the next best thing from DSTV to drop.

They simply dont stop thinking up ways to improve on their product and brand name.

2. Programme Content. Whereas all other Cable companies just steal free-to-air stations like Star Movies, Star World, Trace, CNN, Al-Jezerra, Cartoon Network and co from Arab and Indian satellites, DSTV actually owns the right to their content. Meaning, they invested in actually developing programme content. SO they get the rights to air the stations from the original owners and then modify it for their purpose before putting it out. Thats why even the MTV base from DSTV varies with that from the Arabs.

HITV came in and thought the bane of DSTV's monopoly was their Football broadcast rights.. grin So they plotted a hostile takeover by paying way too darn much for the broadcast license, limiting DSTV to just 1 or 2 matches. What they forgot was that DSTV was more than soccer. Soccer was only 3 hours max on certain days out of their entire programme schedule. So what do they have to offer on days when the EPL is off? NOTHING.. What about kids programming?! NOTHING... What of the mums that love African Movies and stuff? Nothing.. Thats what killed HITV... They looked only at football.. grin Poor business strategy..


3. Customer Service. When you call their helpline, they answer. They even automated their system with the SMS auto help system. Making it easy to access help even in the middle of the night.

4. Marketing.. DSTV is the King of Programme marketing. At every point in the Calender year, DSTV has atleast 2 key programmes running. Now we have the EPL, Champions League, Carling Cup, X-factor, Idols, Big Brother, Project Fame, **** got talent, e.t.c.. Their is never a time when something isnt on T.V to watch.

5. Quality.. If not for DSTV, Nigerians would not even be able to watch matches being played in Nigeria on T.V. AIT, NTA, SILVERBIRD, e.t.c all dont have the capacity to broadcast local events live and in good picture. Its so shameful. Until DSTV came into the game, Nigerians did not even know what a Nigerian Local League Game looked like nor the atmosphere of it. DSTV brings you the CAF Nations cup, womens football, Nigerian League, Zambian league, Southafrican league, etc live and in High definition.

Infact, the stations with the worst picture quality on DSTV are all the Nigerian Stations .. grin









Let poverty mentality not eat away our ability to reason well. DSTV is the king because they are just too darn good. If you want quality,, then you have got to pay for it cos it means someone is working hard to bring you the best.

These South Africans know how to do business in Africa. They understand the business clime and strive to be the best. Look at MTN for example. Whislt Econet and Nitel were busy coasting, they were investing billions to take over the market fastest. Today, though they have kind of peaked and their network over packed, they are still number one amongst all only followed by the Arabs (Etisalat).

I love my DSTV cos their is no alternative.. I support the free market system. The day a better company comes, DSTV will no longer be the king.


And just so you know, the price of DSTV subscirption is almost uniform across africa (factoring in exchange rates and clime). Also, premium cable costs money. Those in the UK and the U.S should tell us how much their 'FULL' subscription package on their SKY digiboxes, Bell Tv, Rogers TV, AT&T and co costs..




Brilliant post.

I pay N13,800 for premium, and I pay it annually, but the annoying thing is, even though I pay for Premium, I still spend over N5,000 on Box Office to rent movies per month on the Explora Decoder. This is not the worst, the worst is that their customer service number is MTN, and you pay for calling customer service and listening to nonsense music while waiting for a customer service attendant that might not even pick the call, so you end up paying for listening to music and shit......
Omg! That is pure exploitation. In most parts of the world, calling customer service is free.
