I believe in having a lasting Nigeria business that grows year on year. Watching DSTV operate in Nigeria, I was just thinking: How much exactly does this Company make on a monthly basis.

From research it has 4 million subscribers. Base all on the 3000N package and that is 12 billion naira per month and over 140 billion naira annually!!

With this amount, they can pay for rights and also Make a tidy profit.

Do you think they make that much?

Your statistics might not be entirely right because not all those 4 million subscribers are active users. But it should be pretty close to $100 million IMO.

No, DSTV does not necessarily make that much. I once spoke with a guy who works there and he said despite Nigeria's advantageously huge population, very few people could afford DSTV at current subsription fees. I then suggested that the subscription fees be decreased by DSTV, so that the services would become more affordable to more Nigerians. Who knows if he has tabled this very simple suggestion before his bosses at the office.

My take is that discretionary spend is still very depressed in Nigeria, and unemployment levels are quite high. Of those who are 'lucky' to be employed, 70% of them earn below N100,000 per month while more than 75% of Nigerians live below the poverty line and income inequality is breaking the 45%-50% band..Given that more than 80% of the population earn meagre income, how then do you expect them to afford a luxury entertainment service offered by DSTV? Almost impossible if you ask me.

Until disposable income levels rise, perhaps via increased jobs and drop in mandatory household expenses etc, discretionary spend would remain low...And companies like DSTV can boast of a brighter future only if there are strong expectations that income levels and discretionary spend will better what they currently are. Given current happenings, I fear that DSTV may one day close shop, just as its fellow Lekki-based South African company recently did or plans to do. I do not want to state the name os the company as I'm unsure if it is now public knowledge that they're closing shop.

Let's watch and see how things go..

There can never be too much money. As long it's earned legally.

wait lemme ask oga

DSTV probably make far more than that if indeed they have up to 4 million subscribers in Nigeria. But, they are a fraudulent company. They also own MTN a company that have fraud as it's core business strategy.
NB: The N4,000/month you talked about I think it's their cheapest. They do have N10,800/month also, and I was on that buoquet or whatever they call it for many years until I found out they don't worth it.

Oga OP, U be tax collector ni? . . . Or U wanna know if DSTV has been "Sheating awon boiz"?

This is their head office phone number 2348666419666

Your question will be answered

Hmmmm. And some peeps even watch dstv for free. That's also a loss on their side.

MEILYN: ... DSTV make huge profits,.. Big Brother Africa alone got them about 1billion dollars i think...

wow, so you mean, big brother is as lucrative as EPL, La Liga? I don't think so my friend. No body is going to spend $1B for that crap show.

MEILYN: watin concern me? I dey work 4 their company? Mtcheeeeww, anyway, DSTV make huge profits, they also do adverts remember? They dont depend on the subscription only, they have other ways to make good money. Big Brother Africa alone got them about 1billion dollars i think. So why do you think these folks dont make it big? They make billions jare.

1 billion dollars, for real?

Even a football club would be hard pressed to make such.
