Really impressed. Whoever instituted the suit deserves an award!

For those of us who have already paid for the new prices, what happens to our balance?

Alleluia! Expenses were beginning to swallow me.

Finally! we are exercising our sovereignty as a nation... Can they now work towards converting their subscription packages into pay per view please?

The story go soon change when dem Carey Ghana must go and plenty free subscription decoders to their houses

abeg make owner help us oga

The most annoying thing is that DSTV/Multichoice continue to increase the prices of their silly bouquets without any iota of improvement in the content.
It's the same repetitive boring old stuff.
If you take out the live sports,which is football,wrestling and boxing,almost every other program is a re-run.

What exactly is the role of Consumer Protection Council (CPC)?
"The Consumer Protection Council (CPC) Act, enacted in 1992 is the primary law in Nigeria which centres on a pragmatic approach to enforcement of consumer rights making the Act consumer focused. Section 6 of the Act provides that consumers can bring complaints where they have suffered a loss, injury or damage while Section 8 provides for opportunity for consumers to get redress which makes the Act adequate to meet consumer rights."
ENFORCEMENT OF CONSUMER RIGHTS- It is not your right to watch Pay TV at low cost
LOSS, INJURY or DAMAGE- In this case, what exactly have we suffered? Pay TV subscription is not a necessity.I
Nigeria operates a free market economy
If CPC wants to be great, they should arrest those selling ram at inflated prices. FOOD IS A NECESSITY!

So it is your right to eat ram?
so ram is now a necessity? dont you have fish, crayfish etc. You can argue with your ancestors

People should collectively not subscribe and watch them backtrack......

nor b by force to use Dstv, if u kwn u are not using it for business or run hospitality business to entertain guest,if u are using it for person & u can't meet up to the new rate why not port to d one ur hand fit afford.
nor b by force.

After dem don charge us for August?
We are so reactive instead of proactive in the is country; the planned increase was an open secret in the industry, if anything would have been done, it should have been done before the increase.

This is price regulation whixh can only be done when a competition law is in place. The law was passed and made to become federal competition and consumer protection commission and not assented to by the president recently. A very powerful cartel is frustrating the process cus it will handle other things like price fixing and and monopoly as well.Except that law is in place CPC does not have the power to control price. If CPC does it and taken to Court, she is doing that outside her powers and u if taken to court, u knmow what's can happen

Some Nigerians can never have sense again. The suffering in the land has finished their reasoning. That slavish mentality is affecting them.

There is something called competition law. The law aims to prevent monopolies from exploiting consumers.

Babatunde Irukera and that Justice Dimgba are the two best brains in competition law in Nigeria. They are protecting Nigerians from exploiting by multichoice but some local idiots who studied Jss 1 economics are talking nonsense about demand and supply. Travel out of Nigeria to functional countries and see that all your life has been a waste.

Dstv carryout this callous and wicked act because they are the favourite among sport betting shops.

Ambassadors:
This is where the NBC & CPC need to step in. Nigerians can be ripped off all the time. I went to a country and I saw what the government are doing, for instance as a company can't pay it's citizens peanut. There is a minimum rate you pay it's citizens for every level. The rights of its Citizen are well protected. But just as someone said in Nigeria anything goes. When shall we arise o sleeping giant!

This is price regulation and CPc cannot help with the current law .it only can when there is a competition law in place which d president didn't assent to recently

If that law is passed, Dangote is finished. That's why he's fighting tooth and nail to prevent it.

If it is open market, Multichoice will not buy right for Nigeria.... restricting access to a specific content... others in East Africa still watch selected PL matches...but a company bought right for a region? what give them the right to buy right for a sovereign state if they can not be subjected to regulation by that state.

Yes oh.even the so called bankers committee can no longer meet .its become a crime oh. Someone will always say that with the law, if u see two MD of a bank or two MD of telexom companiea sitting next to to each other on a flight . they could be investigated

Maxymilliano:
To what end is the injunction when the news rates are already in effect since the beginning of the month ?

Nigerian politicians are always reactive

Why should it be the Federal Government of Nigeria taking DSTV to court for price increase?

That doesn't appear appropriate and could send bad signals to investors. The FG could have worked behind the scene while pushing a private citizen to do that.

I don't think getting a Pay TV is a luxury, afterall there are different affordable packages for you to choose from. It is because we have not enjoyed for once good governance in this country that has made many people to believe certain good things are meant only for the rich and wealthy in the society.
You mentioned Moluee means of transportation. Is that what a good government should give to her citizens as a means of transportation? See, you cannot appreciate nor demand for good things if you do not know what is obtainable elsewhere. And that is the reason our corrupt government keep stealing our public funds and we say they are trying instead of us challenging them to improve our standard of life by providing basic amenities and make life more easier. But many of us are satisfied.
What stops government from making the Pay TV more affordable and cheaper by opening up the market for competition and break the monopoly of DSTV.
Let's wake up and stop accepting hardship kind of life.

dynamofizzoggs:
PayTV is a luxury, if you cannot afford it, settle for what you can. You can either sleep in a 7 star, 5 star or 2 star hotel. Nigerians like going for what they cannot afford. Live within your means and leave DStv alone. Their customers have already made payment; im sure some paid in advance sef... If you cannot enter Uber, take Moluee!

.

thesicilian:
So they have the power to do that and they've been letting DStv rip us off for ages?!

I am so surprised.

All those overrated and fake celebrities in movie industries that were mocking Nigerians on twitter for complaining about incessant hike should please hear this

I have already paid 6800 and it's not funny to me at all I got an sms of their increments and when I wanted to pay the price increase had been started already I saw people still paying so I had to pay I've recently heard about tstv I don't know if anyone has started using it because I'm already fed up with dstv

Na PDP allow dem

Humblega:
Seriously, we need a serious cable tv company dat wil compete with multichoice. They are taking Nigerians for granted.

They keep increasing tariff when the services is getting worse by the day.

They know Nigerians dont have plenty options.

Within last 1 month:

* they announced increment in tariff with few days notice to subscribers.......

** They failed to air community shield when a lot of people basically subscribed because of it. No announcement to subscriber dat dey av dropped it

**No English FA cup and carling cup (capital one) ds year and dey are yet to announced. Only few pple dat read their article after pple called dem out for failure to show community shield btw line will know dat.

May be dey will drop epl soon self before we know

Dstv will remain for pple watching african magic

we had HITV. but the Nigerian factor creeped into their business

PeterQuinn:
Price of Ram has gone up from last year but the legislative wont do anything about that. The court has no business with this is an open market. Why doesnt the CPC fight bars and hotels that sell their drinks and offer services at ridiculous price.
we Nigerians are forget that DSTV is not a must own commodity, that's why there are other cheaper Pay tv that are substitute.
I think the government and its regulating bodies should leave multi-choice alone, the cost of providing these contents doesnt come cheap either, so they have the right to increase their charges.

the color and vision makes a must own biko.

is it not TSTV that promised and failed like Buhari and APC that gave DStv the guts

sighs. U seriously need to change ur way of thinking, it's too shallow.

kaorama:

No, but in the present circumstances, it's exploitative.

Bruv they have the power including sweeping them back to South Africa to go rip their kinsmen off.
The leaders and owners of the land own the court..
So we can.
Dem too do.

This same Nigerian government over the years gave Dstv unhealthy support at the detriment of indigenous pay TV service provider. They refused to allow a level playing ground for other pay TV service provider to have a good share of the market.
