The Senate has done nothing but take gifts from multi choice so they can always have their way. Remember that most of them are share holders

Jackossky:
What has our senate been doing?

There is this school of thought that believes that when FDIs grow to a certain extent, they behave with impunity and influence state actors in that locality

You do not protest the bad economy, bad goverance high costs of food stuffs,high costs of fuel, kerosene,disel, electricity bill, high cost of living it's DStv you are protesting

Temidayo9:
This people mumu no be here. Time without number they have raised this issue of pay per view any time there is upward price review, nothing like pay per view in cable subscription. Only exclusive channel payment is available which is even more expensive. Besides what concerns students with watching cable TV, they should protest for not having light and water in there various campuses.

shut up!

sonature1:
This is what you get when you have unfocused people fronting as the leaders of NANS.

What business do students have with how a private company fixes its fees and charges?

If anyone should be threatening brimstone and fire, it should be NLC. Nigeria doesn't even have a price regulatory agency to start with.

MultiChoice should pick them up if they come anywhere near their facilities. They should go and read their books. That's why they are in school.

shut up!

I don wise pass to chook mouth for this matter. These people only want to trend. When the average Nigerian tire, he go pay the fees.

nairalanda1:


Okay, then since you are a trader , I hope you sell your stuff at a loss so that you can help the poor.

They are running at no loss
Unless they are trying to extort Nigerians for their underperforming business in another country

They are running at a loss and yet they spend extravagantly on that BBTitans and BBN?
Common

It ought to be video on demand, and not pay per view.

We are with NANS. They have to reverse to pay as you view or maintain the old prlce.

The exploitation due to monopoly is much to bear.

what nans is trying to say is subscription should run on actual hours watched and not timed monthly.

In other words, when someone subscribes and there's no electricity or emergency travel , the subscription doesn't keep running.

Many South African companies are here to exploit. I remember MTN and Econet told us bluntly there's no possibility of per second billing in Nigeria until Glo broke the jinx.

You don't have to sound stupid and unpatriotic in your effort to appear intelligent

I only said what you explained not possible and not done anywhere in the world. What is applicable in other places is that you pay extra for a certain event like BBN or boxing fixtures. Cable TV technology not like GSM that you are using your money per second. The system on cable TV bill per day. And you don't need to abused me to sound stupid. Thanks

No, I am not saying they are running at a loss

I am asking you if you would sell at a loss to help the poor if you were in business?

If they bribe them now they won’t say anything, National Assembly said the same but today where are there,, Funny children funny fathers

nairalanda1:


NANS should consider that

1.Multichoice has thousands of Nigerians working for them directly and indirectly, and they all want to be PAID WELL

2.The people worldwide who make the TV programees and bring you the stuff you want to watch also want to be PAID WELL.

3.The equipment used to bring you those DSTV shows, were made by people who want to be PAD WELL

4.The Premier league is made up of football players and so forth who want to be PAID WELL

5.Health and other insurance costs a lot of money for workers who want to be PAID WELL.

6. No one in Nigeria has done pay as you go. No country in the world where DSTV is has pay as you go. Because it cannot work for a system where workers want to be PAID WELL.

7. Did TSTV's pay as you go work.? No, because ....PAID WELL.

NANS should realize that when prices go up, it is because a lot of people, not just the rich and mightly...but a lot of poor people who work and pay bills and so forth...want to be.....PAID WELL.

Maybe NANS should set up their cheap version of DSTV and bid for programme rights....or tell their members to patronize STARTIMES. STARTIMES last i checked is VERY VERY CHEAP.

When you see write ups like this, you will be forced to ask, who shall deliver naija from support for slave masters.

It is only in Nigeria people pay for cable subscription monthly and it runs out whether you watch it or not.. it keeps running just like same south African companies did with GSM back in the early 2000s when you buy credit and it vanishes whether you use it or not.

The problem with people like you is that you use the internet as a palliative to ameliorate your ignorance and low quality exposure.

Your data

Na DSTV subscription fee be una problem? Una never protest against insecurity and all other many challenges wey we dey face as a country na personal business be una problem like say una get light to take watch sef mtchewwww confused youths 😕

Electorate:



So you mean other countries that DSTV implemented the pay as you go service ARE NOT PAID WELL, You obviously need brain surgery or mental evaluation or both.

Dude, grow up, and act your age.

Now , have a good day.

Modified

Seriously, if someone abused you, you won't like it.

You come here and call me mentally sick?

Better act your age, man. You can do better than this.

So, if you were running a business, would you sell your product at a loss so that the poor cannot suffer.?

Think on that.

Wetin concern NANS with satellite Tv? These naïve socialist should leave them alone

The Pay-As-You-View proposition is dum.b. It can NEVER work. Dstv decoders and any other pay tv decoder around you (including Strong decoders) cannot support pay-as-you-view. To initiate a pay-as-you-view subscription, then Nigerians should be ready to spend at least 100k per decoder. Why can't NANS do a proper research before this press release?

What are you paying to view? Channels are not classified in the same category. Dstv already offers exclusive channels at extra fees; implying that you can simply pay 3k (or thereabout) for Yanga and pay extra 1k or 2k for your other favorite channels like MNET 1-4. SuperSport channels and Africa Magic channels do not carry the same weight, so you'll need a very smart and sophisticated software in your decoder to decode what you're viewing each time light goes off, each time you switch channels (e.g, from a "costly" SuperSport channel to a "cheaper" Africa Magic channel).

A proper argument would be to mandate Dstv to allow subscribers choose and pay for the channels they want. Each channel should attract unique pricing.

E.g.,
MNET Movies 2 ------ N200/Month
Africa Magic Yoruba ---- N100/Month
Channels tv ------- N80/Month, Etc.

Better o or they leave abeg
Nonsense

most stupid Union ever formed

Lai Mohammed failed on this
Pantami failed on this
FG failed on this...
Judiciary failed on this
Labour unions failed on this....what can NANS do

Same thing with their school on strike for several month they did nothing about it, lazy student.

Temidayo9:

Is it because its foreign business in Nigeria? Your fuel station deliberately refused to sell at normal approved price you never called senate, but because of DSTV and GOtv you now remember senate?

Mouth as usual, MultiChoice is bigger to NIGERIA

The same thing happens in other African countries.

so you mean, everywhere DStv operates arbitrary increase of tarriffsbis their Hallmark n it should not be questioned?, it's less than a year from the last increment, where else has DStv done this?,most times I wonder the kind of African Giants that we are as a country!

NANS are thieves, Just like NLC they are looking for their own cut in this new price regime of the DSTV. Watch once they get their own share they will lock up. A country of thieves.

I guest you are working with dstv or gotv if not you will not saying what you are saying with 5 hardship in Nigerian they are increasing subscription because our leader don't care about the poor they can try this in south Africa or other countries of you are with it let those who are not ok with it voice out their mind

At the end of the day, companies have to make profits to pay their workers improved welfare, and at the same time also account for increased prices elsewhere.

Because for DSTV/Multichoice, the prices and cost of doing business have been increasing and will continue to increase year in and year out.

That's life. You don't have to watch DSTV, you can always switch to cheaper alternatives like Startimes.

I don't know people still pay for dstv. I can't remember the last time I subscribed. The only thing I watched on dstv then was football and I watched any football matches live without dstv.

Not that I don't care about the plight Nigerian going through, DStv started price increase in South Africa, to Ghana and then Nigeria now. Multichoice is doing business in Nigeria for profit and not National cake, even startime increased theirs last two weeks.

Just for them pocket.

Where is Labour and their threat to CBN? Is the new naira note in circulation?

Just settle them and the noise will go down
