TSTV Actually think there's democracy

They think you just open up a competitive company and give your people what they deserve....and have the government support because its OUR OWN but in Nigeria it doesn't work that way....DSTV WI APPROACH THEM GOVERNMENT STUFF THEM WITH DOLLARS AND HAVE THEM FRUSTRATE the company.....despite getting all the license needed and have gotten a go ahead....once they got alert everything with change


WHEN I SAW WHAT IS HAPPENING I KNEW THEY ARE BEING FOUGHT TO DROP OUT THROUGH THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT


When I came back from outside 2years with the intention of not building house and hostels like others do, I decided to build a company generating electricity through solar and then distributing it starting with community...in the city people were complaining NO LIGHT.....HIGH BILLS


I GOT MY LICENSE FROM NERC AND THEY WERE HAPPY ABOUT MY INTENSION....FEW MONTHS LATER INSTALLATION.... WIRINGS....A MONTHS AFTER WE KICK STARTED WITH 18HRS ELECTRICITY DAILY.....IN TWO WEEKS TIME WE WERE GETTING ABOUT 200SUSCRIBERS then more and more

A DISTRIBUTION COMAPNY APPROACHED ME AND I GAVE THEM MY LICENSE


THE NEXT WEEK DEVELOPMENT UNION CAME AND TOLD ME THE PLACE I MADE INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT GOOD I SHOULD REMOVE IT while a got a go ahead order from them before....


The next the distribution company came and told me I shouldn't use the pole.....I mounted a wooden pole because am still running a test on the young business...

Next they said its not serving enough people that we have to close it downtown or I should request for a certificate that it cost around 20million naira


THEN TRUTY I GAVE UP ON NIGERIA


PEOPLE WERE HOPING NIGERIA WILL BE BETTER WHERE AS THEY DON'T KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TRIED STARTING TO BETTER IT IN A SMALL WAY BUT GOT SHUT DOWN....they want Nigeria to remain primitive

ObaOloye:


All you people that watch too much suits and law and order. That's a law suit that will eventually become a waste of money. What exactly are they supposed to sue for?? What does Dstv stand for?? Do they have monopoly over the "satellite TV" name?? Is it a registered trade mark??

Haven't you heard of Fstv?? What of banks, do you know how many banks have ....... Bank of Nigeria... Shouldn't CBN sue all of them
You see how one can sound intelligent and still have no point

Sojebrand:
reading this your post it's heart broken, that's why you see many young brilliant men travelling out to develop countries, cos here in their own country they keep making it hard(the government and your own fellow) please create a post on this forum for people to see how hard it is for start up

JuanDeDios:

You're the one watching too much Suits, oga. Did you read where I said it creates trust issues? I won't trust TSTV. Anyway, when you're done sounding intelligent and watching Suits, go read the Nigerian case of Niger Chemists v. Nigeria Chemists. Then come back.

And you want a better Nigeria with this mindset? Disgusting!

okokobioko1:
i see these guys like unserious folks in the business world. there is a saying that ( show the world what you intend to do, rather than telling them first.) i rest my case.

eneji50:

Let inec make all those that will vote buhari pay a certain amount before we could vote him, he will still win 2019 election


Buhari is a tsunami no one can stop till 2023,


So wailers should take heart


Tambuwa is a gonner politically!!





@eneji50 say so oooooo!

jarmy:

My fellow Nigerian, please don't give up on your dreams. Isaac in the Bible didn't give up, Michael Farade didn't give up, why should you. My advice to you is to be friendly with the community where your company is located. Most of these locals are under educated and only live for today.

ObaOloye:

Oga, I know the case. There's culpability for the confusion between using Niger and Nigeria in the same line of business.

So following through was there any confusion about the both of them being Chemists??

It was the wrongest case to bring up. Both Dstv and Tstv are "Satellite TV" providers, so what's the confusion there There's no trust issue whatsoever from the naming no matter how you want to come at it.

Let's do small simple deductive reasoning from your cited case.

Niger Chemists vs Nigeria Chemists
What was the problem, the was establish that the concurrent use of Niger and Nigeria in the same line of business could cause considerable confusion as to who the plaintiff is.

Now
Digital Satellite TV(Dstv) vs. Telecom Satellite TV (Tstv)
Oga, am even going to stop here because further justification is a waste of my time.
If you're a lawyer then be sure there's a case before encouraging people to "sue". Unless you're one of those that encourage people to take on baseless law suits to line your pockets.

ObaOloye:


I wanted to say this thing long ago but I felt it not good enough. This country is gone to the wind. Nobody cares about development or bettering our economy our the general well being of all. Sentiments and tribalism is in EVERYTHING. Part of the problem they have is that an Igbo man owns Tstv. Who cares It can be an Ijaw or Nupe man for all I care. We're forgetting how many jobs will be created, what about the supply chain to follow, people that will benefit, families generating more income. Ethnicity and tribalsim, not corruption has finished this country.

grossintel:
My brother, when I hear people say we are the once who can fix Nigeria, I wonder who the hell is the We. You mean the youths who are rooted in fraud and encourage corruption. Just look at the boldness on his statement, the rest of the world are moving to better and cheaper technology and we refuse to fight for a better Nigeria and reject corruption. DSTV has monopolized satellite TV, hence killing every rival because Nigeria is corrupt and they can do anything and get away with it. Ntel came and MTN is trying to kill the company. All this has got to stop! Data is very expensive in Nigeria and even at that it's metered. No ISP is offering true cappless data without throttling your speed somehow and they won't tell you. Banks ripping of customers with random charges and we don't care. If anyone still thinks Nigeria can be fixed hmm, it can be but certainly not by this generation. This generation is far worse than the old looters who steal with a pen, we will steal with both pen and technology! Me I'm out of here, least I know a've giving my kids a brighter future with limitless opportunities.

BlueRayDick:


Bros, those things u mentioned are things market leaders do. Those are things market leaders do to keep their market share. Once u see someone as a potential threat to Ur continued profitability, u move against them in anu possible way within the ambit of the law. These includes sponsoring bad PR against Ur competitors.

Theres no enemy anywhere, if he's looking for enemy then he should look into the mirror. They didn't do their homework well

Sage7:


Bro, you are being applauded for your comment but try not to belittle God.

Why can't we put God in business or politics? As a Christian that you are, I'd admonish you not to blaspheme. He created all.

TSTV had their mistakes, don't allow anyone or anything allow you rule out the God-factor.

Na person wey wear shoe know where e dey pain am. He has his reasons for putting God in those lines.

Much love bro!

A DISTRIBUTION COMAPNY STARTED PANICKING THEY APPROACHED ME TO TRY AND FRUSTRATE THE BUSINESS BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR WORKER ALREADY TOLD ME THE OGAS AT THEIR OFFICE ARE DISCUSSING THIS MY NEW IDEA AND MIGHT SHUT ME DOWN....WHEN THEY APROACHED ME I SHOWED THEM HOW THE DOCUMENTS I GOT FROM NERC(NATIONAL ELECTRICITY REGULARLY COMISSION) THE WERE DISAPPOINTED


THE NEXT WEEK DEVELOPMENT UNION CAME AND TOLD ME THE PLACE I MADE INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT GOOD WHICH IS IN A PLOT OF LAND I RENTED AND MOUNTED THE SOLAR PANELS I SHOULD REMOVE IT BUT AT FIRST BEFORE IS STARTED THEY WHERE THE ONES THAT GAVE ME THE GO AHEAD....BUT I KNOW MONEY HAS EXCHANGE HANDS FROM DISTRIBUTION COMPANY

The next the distribution company came and told me I shouldn't use thei pole but my license clearly gave me access to use the government installed poles.... I said ok and mounted mounted my own wooden poles because am still running a test on the young business...

Next they said its not serving enough people that i have to close it down or I should request for a DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATE FROM NERC that it cost around 20million naira

But the electricity am venerating does not require THE CERTIFICATE

THEN TRUTY I GAVE UP ON NIGERIA GOVERNMENT


PEOPLE WERE HOPING NIGERIA WILL BE BETTER WHERE AS THEY DON'T KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TRIED STARTING TO BETTER IT IN A SMALL WAY BUT GOT SHUT DOWN....they want Nigeria to remain primitive so they can continue milking it.

talkaholicbook:
Business is tough trust me and you can't do nada without money.

As long as TSTV is not able to outbid DSTV in the rights bargain, they will remain in a limbo.

ABBA FATHER helps those who help themselves. I know it's not easy, but the redemption we seek from the hands of these South africans who've been running our pocket dry will only come from serious minded business men.

Before I end my rant... let me ask you a question. Do you know that with the right team, finance and planning, you can compete and outrun a competitor.

For instance, the company I work; VISHA is planning to compete with Instagram.

I know it's a huge dream, but it can be achieved. Do you wish to know more about VISHA?

odizeey:
I'm not sure most of you accusing tstv are in Nigeria. do u know how many politicians are getting cash from dstv. get your facts right bros

BlueRayDick:


What exactly are you trying to say? Is Coca-Cola not enjoying monopoly before 7up came into the Nigerian market? Do you know Awolowo family even owns huge shares in Coca-Cola?. With all the market share Coca-Cola had and the influence of Awolowo family, 7up came into the market and are still waxing stronger today....In fact more entrants are coming into the market.

If it's politicians backing dstv nothing stops tstv from getting politicians to turn them into cash cow. Àbi u think making it in the business world is just about thinking of imaginary enemies?.

They already know who their major competitor is, they should do their homework and leave God out of their palava

odizeey:
you sound as if 7up came to Nigeria as a start up.
tstv is just starting up.
its a pity Nigerians can't support its own. see we are waiting for quality before we support. Can't we kick dstv out?. can't we speak as one in Nigeria?
if we refuse to watch dstv for a year in protest will we die?

BlueRayDick:


OK.....did glo not start as a start up? Did they not succeed?

When u say we, who exactly are u referring to?
As a consumer am all about the utility I derive from a product I paid for. I will only leave my current supplier if the new one offers me something better.

For the records tstv claimed they got right to broadcast premiership and and other major league matches tru bein sports, yet the same network came out to deny this fact.

Do u expect any consumer to take them serious after this?

9japrof:
I am a Christian, but when one brings in God into politics and business then he is manipulative and stupid.

When you are planning a business, you should know that whoever was in business before you would not welcome you with open arms, more especially not one with a monopolist market. Tstv never did their homework, there were like a team with the money but not with the experience, not with the technical know how.

Just like APC, they would keep blaming everybody else except themselves and keep making unsubstantiated claims of being persecuted, keep making promises they can't keep.

tstv go get your acts together

Fem4luv:
TSTV should have actually prepared themselves for stiff opposition, coming from those that had the monopoly of the Nigerian satellite television and the insignificant few benefiting from their monopoly of power. The way TSTV advertised their brand even when they had not began sale made most Nigerians expectant and they were ready to go for their product at the expense of South African Multichoice. This are the kind of initiatives that expected our government to do everything to promote, we can't just allow South Africans to have the monopoly of our markets in Nigeria. Take a look at cheating been perpetrated by MTN, Take a look at Shoprite where you get some products cheaper outside than in there. Look at DSTV increasing the amount of their bouquet with no substantial improvements in the services they provide. For how long are we going to allow other nations to control our market when we can't even do the same in their country. It is high time we had promote our brands here in Nigeria with less regards for that coming from other nations. It should be Nigerians First and any foreign investment in this country should serve the interest of Nigerians satisfactorily

odizeey:
I'm telling you. We can't move forward if we continue like this. see how dey want to kill innoson. I taya for this country
