Not true, south Africa is where all the money is made not Nigeria.

18.9 million subscribers in the whole Africa.

8.9 million sub's in south Africa.

10.7 million in other African countries

In Nigeria there are about 6,237,000 sub
That is 33% of revenue .

This info is for last year.

You're right on SA being their largest market, but at the same time your numbers say NGR is a third of their total business. Dependency in most economic settings is 20%. A third is heavily material and crucial to any kind of operation. I bet their margins are higher in Naija, regardless of what this article says.

How much do they spend on their ppl or focus on delivering better service... In SA there would be some kind of organized framework for them to operate within. In Naija, they r quite notorious for cutting corners. That being said tho, they leave and another int'l operator will enter, or maybe even a capitalized local. Nigerians just want better service (cost and quality) eh.

Amazon and Netflix should grab this opportunity and end DStv monopoly

It will also be difficult for them as a result of the high cost of data.

Modify;Ok,thanks for the enlightenment.

They never know their fate yet in Nigeria, Even FG want Nigerians to be paying for subscription per view.

Economic realities are subjective.


When your salary comes in time, you eat chicken. As the salary reduces you eat products of Chicken (Eggs) and subsequently you begin to eat chicken's food, (maize and millet), and finally, when salary is finished, you become chicken itself, spending your time walking around just looking for what to eat"!

Everyone is on a different level.



Wow...i like this your comment

Paying all these huge amount of money to South African company. What exactly do Nigeria/Nigerians gain from the deal, its just a loose loose situation. We need to invest this money in developing our own sport so others can pay us Rights like other countries, in Europe and Latin America.

many Nigerians are subbing to Netflix..and it's cheaper than DSTV..with a sub can be used by 5 people...

The last time I subbed on Netflix is when I got one of those MTN Awuf data sim.

Nbote:
If dem born dem well make dem try am and see if Nigerians wont dump their thieving asses.. Those football rights are d major reason most Nigerians renew their subscriptions

Do you want then to run at a loss?

KingAzubuike:

When I checked the source and saw that it was a Nigerian news outlet , I stopped reading.

This mentality is nauseating and should stop immediately. It's not everything that's made in Nigeria or said by Nigerians is fake or untrue. Jeez

A Nigerian company should simply move in for the kill.

Because of pressure on them to adopt Pay as you go system, they now brought up this nonsense to justify increase in subscription.
Awọn thief

I don't watch the super sport channels but have to pay for them because the channels I want are in that bouquet.

I'm not a worker, salary sucks except Chevron blue badge salary.

May God pursue them for us since our govt no wan pursue them

That's one of the issues we face in this country. Ordinarily Nigerians should have taken over this broadcasting business but every rich person wants to go into oil and gas business leaving other industries in the country to foreigners to run.

Funny talk from people sef.
DStv Nigeria subscribtion price is the cheapest in Africa.
Many of us have had this argument b4.
DStv price in Nigeria is the cheapest or second cheapest compared to other countries DStv operate in.
And No, DStv doesn't operate Pay as you go in any country as alluded to by many uninformed peop

kendrick9:
All Na format to increase subscriptions..
Well done multichoice

Yeah

chariisGRACE:



That alone will fasten their exit.
If not football, wetin we wan send multichoice?

Startimes and Strong do broadcast Telemundo for the Ladies.

So you think. How come dey survive in the years that HiTV had the rights?

cucumbae:
What I mean is that they charge Nigerians higher than other African countries.

Dstv subscription in Nigeria is the cheapest on the continent despite our harsh business environment.
If they drop football, they'll still retain many subscribers because they have some of the best content both locally and globally.
Finally, people have to realise that cable TV is not an essential utility like electricity and water. All over the world, cable TV is expensive and for only people who can afford. That's why there's public TV like BBC and NTA in our case.

martineverest:

Lies.

Netflix pays independent producers Max of 2x the film budget for exclusive distribution rights

They are the once fueling the rising cost of subscription with their exclusivity.... There is additional cost to exclusivity.........

Make dem de monopolize and cost will fall. Other contents may still make them the preferred choice...

I choose them over that Chinese idiotic "startimes"

cucumbae:
What I mean is that they charge Nigerians higher than other African countries.

Nigerians pay the lowest subscription cost on the continent.

Naijaarchive:
Lol the rate they will lose customers enh.... E go shock them or they think people are actually thrilled with those yeye Nollywood Movies/BBNaija they show

Actually, people are. That's why they survived even when HITV had the EPL rights. You would be surprised at how many people watch ROK, African Magic and BBN

cucumbae:
What I mean is that they charge Nigerians higher than other African countries.

No we are the cheapest

Dstv Compact prices monthly in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and south africa

Nigeria - N6975 ($15.5)
Ghana-140GHS($25.45)
Kenya-KES2455($24.55)
South africa-R359($21.11)

So which one is the cheapest.

Na another strategy to increase subscription fees
