A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has restrained MULTI CHOICE NIGERIA LIMITED - operators of DIGITAL SATELLITE TELEVISION from implementing its new rates and an increase in tariffs payable by its subscribers across board.
On Thursday, 2nd of April, 2015, Justice Aneke had, in a Suit filed by two Lagos - based Legal Practitioners, OSASUYI ADEBAYO AND OLUYINKA OYENIJI, certified SUIT NO. FHC/L/CS/404/2015 AS A CLASS ACTION and granted the interim Orders till the hearing of the Motion on Notice for Injunction on the 16th of April, 2015. He also ordered for the Suit and Interim Injunction to be published in national newspapers.
Both Legal Practitioners are challenging the arbitrary increase in tariffs as well as urging the Honourable Court to order the NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMMISSION - the 2nd Defendant to implement PAY PER VIEW where subscribers choose their programmes and pay as they watch which is being implemented all over the world.

I hope the FG will do the needful to address the manner at which MULTI CHOICE NIGERIA LIMITED are treating us......It is high-time they implement prepaid policy...Enough from MULTI CHOICE NIGERIA LIMITED....Not again will MULTI CHOICE NIGERIA LIMITED hold us down just like Julius Berger.

Money Bag DSTV might bribe the judge like they did to our Lawmakers.

Good news. Multichoice people are rapers.

God bless the dudes who took the matter to court. I pray we have more of them in this country. One thing I hope GMB administration will do for us is reduce the level of exploitation these MNC mete out to Nigerians

Very good
If day no gree make dem day go back to s.a

Wow! Good news at least they will know Nigerians can't be controlled any longer.



Good riddance

Nice move by the judicary. Lets even hope they sanction them for the in-ordinate exobitant money they charge. The issue is curruption, had it not been Nigeria is suppose to have digitatized our T.v broadcasting that way no much need for them, infact i suspect them Dstv'z of sabotage.

I just love social media,we air our view and social media does the rest....social media even work faster than our legal practitionals nowadays

This is very good to hear. Their own don too much, haba! Our yeye lawmakers no fit open their mouth say something because dem don collect abi?!. I fact our next move is to investigate who the committee for communication in the senate and house of reps are, bring their names to limelight and use social media to blast the mofos! Because there is no way Dstv will announce such increase without seeking their consent at least. Those guys don't know what it takes to pay 13,980 for the premium bouquet. Abeg who sabi the committee members make we start throwing bombs on social media. These people think say na like before, dem no sabi say levels don change. We are no more gullible, we refuse to be, our voices must be heard, they can't take us for fools no more, let's go people!
