GoodGovernance:


Very stupid comments.

Is it Buhari government that created the legal framework that brought Multichoice to Nigeria?

Or you think government can just interfere in a private foreign company's pricing policy without severe legal consequence?

Very soon you will blame Buhari for a broken plate in your house!

OROSUNBOLB:


Will you shut your putrid mouth fool ? Which useless "legal framework" are you talking about drongo ? Some of you apologists of this highly incompetent administration of Mr Buhari could be so senseless that one begins to wonder if you're actually humans or programmed robots.

Ode like you ! How would you know that it is the duty of any competent government,that knows its onions,to protect its citizens from exploitation by any foreign company or local ones alike when you have never experienced good governance in your entire miserable life !


You know what ? I honestly blame Buhari for your apparent senselessness !

Your naira is now useless before dollars and these multinational companies trade in dollars for their contents.
Your govt keep adding VAT on these companies. The more tax they pay, the more consumers of their products will pay for it.
I don't blame them at all. Rmemebr, they don't have stable electricity, so they also pay for crazy electricity bill plus fueling, diesel and maintenance which runs into multi millions yearly. It is not easy to run business in Nigeria.

You make valid points, nothing i could subtract, buh are you also aware they just increased there traffic recently not even upto 3months. what i view on compact is what i av on family package now, how do explain paying more for less, a two time consecutive increase within the space of 3months is not only preposterous it reeks of expliotation & irrational.
On every product & service ( exclusive to luxury) affordability must be of high priority & concern. We no get government and consumer protection that why most of these multi nationals coy can expliot us how, when & anyway they want.

This is ridiculous!
I'm not a fan of Multichoice but it doesn't make sense. So when the government decides to increase tax they didn't know it was hard times?
If we keep quiet now because it's multichoice, very soon it will hit all of us.

Within that same three months, naira has done extremely bad compared to dollars. So, their expenses keep increasing badly.

georgeiyke009:
Crap. If you cannot pay, then dont subscribe. What is fucking wrong with Nigerians? Its not food, nor air or water. We did not even bother about fuel increases. What we should push for is pay per view model. They can increase prices all they want if their business model necessitates it. Its their business. If you don't like it build a competing company. Nigerians owns shares and also work there.

PrinceOfEast:
take away football and multichoice=startimes

SirMichael1:
The only time I'm accepting this tariff increase is if it becomes pay as you use.

solonubinho:


Fundamentally wrong analogy. Is it that you're not aware that Startimes doesnt show mnet, comedy central, NatGeo, NatGeowild, History, Discovery, Discovery ID, TLC, Lifetime, etc..oh and now that ESPN is back. Pls dont ever mention Dstv and Startimes in the same sentence again. Shalom.

einsteine:


In which country in the world is cable TV pay as you use? What you have is Pay Per View and it is more expensive than monthly a la carte subscription

The issue of naira no be today, infact over a quarter period of time dollar as been static around 400+ to $1, there submission that the 1st increment was for VAT n the propose increased is because of cost of running business is quiet irrational. they are testing d waters whatever we see now is because they got away with the 1st one which was understandable, if we can't standup to dem now b4 december they will do more ... exploitation naa sweet money for any business that has leverage/monopoly
