Nigeria is a country blessed with so much
human and natural resources, the country has
always been a shining light in almost every
endeavour possible in Africa and the world at
large.

In Nigeria, the unfavourable socio-economic
system has made it very difficult for indigenous
companies, entrepreneurs and start-ups to excel
to the fullest of their potential.
There has been insinuations that foreign
investors fare better in Nigeria compared to the
home based companies. This may look like a
fact but we have to examine the root cause of
this ugly report.

For instance, in early 2007, an indigenous
satellite TV company, HiTV came into existence
to compete with the South African based cable
company. To an average dish and decoder
owner, they are more concerned with that
company that can offer them value for their
money.

HiTV started very well in competition with the
popular company, offering same quality services
with lesser prices, but what many cannot explain
was how HiTV folded up within a few years of its
existence.

There were rumours that the owner took some
loans from banks to run the business but he
could not pay back. This was certainly not the
case, it was a mere propaganda and trick
played to set the Nigerian people against the
company and its owners. Further digging has
revealed that the company was sabotaged by
the popular cable company in connivance with
some top management officials of the bank
where HiTV took several millions of Naira to run
the business.

Few months ago, news broke that another
premium and quality Dish and Decoder company
called TSTV entered the market to compete with
others but with cheaper subscriptions. TSTV
enjoyed massive media attention, they also
enjoyed massive sympathy from Nigerians
because of their promise to offer better services
with less fees.

TSTV announced that they will be launching on
October 1st, promising to give out over 5,000
free decoders, and naturally the company will
produce over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs
within few months of operation.
Surprisingly, rumours started flying around that some powerful people who have interests in existing popular
cable company were threatening TSTV.

This news angered Nigerians and several people
took to social media to air their opinions. The
pressure made the alleged conspirators to pipe
low.

Nigerians began to ask why any sane person
will want to stop or destroy a company capable
of offering quality service with less amount in
favour of those ripping off citizens? Why should
anyone want to stop the existence of a company
capable of producing tens of thousands jobs for
the unemployed skilled and unskilled people.

Since the plan to stop TSTV launch failed, the
conspirators with popular the cable TV are
reportedly making another dangerous move
against TSTV which will have a negative impact
on the Nigerian economy and affect the already
excited potential subscribers.

It was gathered that a certain cable TV
company went behind to contact the stations
TSTV had already signed contracts with and
allegedly paid them 5 million dollars to cancel
those airing contracts with TSTV. At as the time
of this report, it was gathered that fifteen TV
stations have cancelled their contracts with
TSTV.

Nigerians should not fold their arms and allow
foreigners destroy our own indigenous
companies, with the connivance of some
saboteurs who are in the corridors of power.

TSTV has promised to introduce pay per view
which should be the normal practice to the
advantage of subscribers but existing cable TV
which has been ripping Nigerians off for
decades, is hell bent on sabotaging them to
continue to exploit Nigerians. It is about time
Nigerians speak up, and prevail on government
to support TSTV's stay and existence in Nigeria.

If we all allow those in the business to kill TSTV
the same way they killed HiTV, many of our
graduates who are potential employees of TSTV
will remain unemployed, the existing cable TV
will continue to cheat and rip Nigerians off.
Nigerians should only pay for services enjoyed
and not be subjected to the forceful monopoly.
