Multi-choice MD, Spokesperson To Face Contempt Of Court Charge Over Dstv by taiwoflb: 12:50am On Apr 17, 2015
The Managing Director of Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited, John Ugbe, and the company’s Public Relations Manager, Caroline Oghuma, are to face committal proceeding for allegedly disobeying the order of a Federal High Court in Lagos which restrained the implementation of a new subscription regime of Digital Satellite Television, popularly known as DStv.

A federal High court sitting in Lagos had on April 2 restrained the company from implementing the new subscription regime pending the determination of a suit filed by two subscribers, Osasuyi Adebayo and Oluyinka Oyeniji. Multi-Choice’s lawyer, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), explained that the order restraining the company from implementing the new subscription regime was made a day after Multi-Choice started the implementation of the new rates. Responding, plaintiffs lawyer, Osasuyi Adebayo, faulted Onigbanjo’s claims saying application for injunction was filed before April l.

I paid 14K for the premium package on thursday morning, a marked deviation from the usual 11650, and I didn't find it funny at all.

I can't do without my SS3, otherwise I'd have had a change of plan.

Something, someone, our government has got to do something and quickly too about this South-African company exploiting ordinary Nigerians and smiling to the bank with millions of our 'HARD EARNED' naira!!!

Nigeria has got more than enough of whatever it takes to be at the summit of development (technologically, and otherwise) in Africa, but we would rather be lackadaisical in our dealings, and looking for shortcuts in every aspect of our lives.
In as much as I hate to say this, whatever strong-arming we're suffering from foreign bodies who provides a service, and then extorts us ludicrously, we brought it upon ourselves. angry

discovery
crime Detective
Homicide channel
trauma
euronews
cnn
aljazeera and the rest are channels found in another cable brand CTL. i used this brand so i know. DSTV is over-rated.

When buhari finally becomes the numero uno, one of two things will happen

Comsat(tinubu-owned) will start a rigorous competition with dstv by vying for EPL live matches licence

Or

Al Jazeera will be welcomed to increase their footprint to the south where all household can access them


Either way, bye bye to dsthieves

For an effective boycott, you need substitutes, none of which we have at the moment. That is the sad reality.

The thing is, cable TV is never cheap anywhere in the world.

I hope you realise that flat screens and cable TVs are termed as luxuries even in advanced countries?

I'm not saying it is right, I'm just saying it is not by force. grin

I dnt av a dstv, I have goTV. wetin I wan watch for dstv wey I go pay 14k? SS3? No, I'll pass.

If I dey used 100 watch match for 30 data at viewing centre, I no go spend 5k per month.

By the way, I av sound city, Chanell O, hipTV, trace, nat geo wild, Sony max, discovery, glitz, super sport select, ESPN, and so much more for just 1,500 per monTh.

So, na ss 1-7 go now make me go their office dey drop 14k per month?

Maybe later, when I can afford it.
but now?MBA!

dude, the next sub is just 1,700. We have received the message since. And even if they increased it to 7k, I can still sustain it without whining. But I cannot afford the 14k for now. That's all I'm saying. And not that I can't pay it, but I can't pay for something and start complaining. All these yeye people wey dey talk, if dstv's signal go for two days, dem fit die on top complain. Not because of poor service, but because of the money they paid?

Na their type dey buy iPHONE 6 by all means, and if the phone lost, dem go almost entre lagoon!

Na by force?

But some people go even buy give dem 6yrs old kid and nothing go happen.

There is a big diff btw luxury and necessity. If u can't afford being luxurious for now, dnt fake it

I do, it's got to do with the fact that I feel complete with the premium subscription. It's still expensive all the same and I think 14K is a bit on the high side...

The fault is from our legislators. In some African countries like Kenya, they have "pay as you go". Why cant they introduce it also in Nigeria and How does it work? Immediately you switch off your decoder or you take the card out from the decoder, your Subscription charges automatically get suspended. I hope this new set of legislators look into this corrupt practices by multi choice because they are milking the masses. If the masses can't afford it, then what is the point. Their license should be revoked.
