Politics and influence of "big tv" that is, DStv and star times.

They might be frustrating them with tax, levies, unaproval of licences etc. And nowadays, nigeria ain't the best place to do business. Even ShopRite sold their shit and ran.

This TSTV be like APC they came with all the noise and went cold on customers. Mad people everywhere.

TheGift:


The owners of Shoprite and Game closed Shops in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and other African countries except for those in South Africa.

It is not necessarily a naija thing, some of these businesses just had bad business strategies

They didn't hire the right marketers/promoters

You have only described a poor economy with weak market indices which is what Nigeria is.

Bank rates are generally high and their funds tend to be mostly short termed. Therefore, no sensible bank will risk funding a start up with such funds especially against existing market leaders. Remember that GTB tried it with HiTV and got burnt.

If we sincerely want a capitalist system, then govt shouldn't be funding start ups against established market leaders. That will be a controlled economy like China or Russia. Unless we all agree to be like China, govt must stay out of unequal funding of business.

The main reason why a sizeable market like Nigeria is lacking in venture funds is because of the questionable source of private wealth. Those who would have become the pool of our core-investors would rather fly their wealth across to Switzerland or London than risk loosing it to EFCC etc if they keep it here.

Koko is, we are our own enemies by being largely a corrupt society.

I still wonder why people need any service of pay tv in Nigeria.
Two well positioned satellite dish, hook on to an FTA satellite receiver can bring into your home many free satellite tv channels that are stolen by DStv,and Startimes and sold to Nigerians, example BBC, CNN, TRTV, RT , France 24,CGTN/Documentary, Kids Cartoon, Movie, Sports. If you're a slave of so-called sports, that have never benefitted families positively in Nigeria, accept what you get

Why're you people always complaining abt DSTV and GOTv shey dem put knife for ur neck ni dere are free to Air u people can always try nd Startime dey dere...


Dem force all na abi why're you guys always crying up nd down sef this life na choice...


You people saying dey don't av Political will nd DSTv don monopolize the market. We still av dem KweseTv, Startime nd diffrnt free to air why DSTv no block doz ones from running...

Abi when DSTv keeps coming up with different TV shows nd Content are the odas sleeping dey cant also come up with something..

when someone fails let's admit he don fail nd stop looking for excuses...

imagine Glo for how many years still battling with good browsing signal nd MTN dat means business u can hardly see dem fvck up even Airtel we know aw many times wey dem don sell am nd 9mobile sef jus giv it to diz people dem sabi business...

Tstv pay only for the channels you watch is good marketing strategy. But they have been off air completely for the past 2 weeks. I mean completely off air - not a single channel is showing. The excuse this time is, they are migrating Mytv subscribers to Tstv. Two weeks and still counting. And these are people mouthing they want to give Dstv a run for their money!!
Tstv channels lineup is ok but they should resolve technical issues e.g no online subscription renewal, you have to go physically to their office.

Two well positioned satellite dishes hook on to an FTA satellite receiver can bring into your home many free satellite tv channels that are stolen by DStv,and Startimes and sold to Nigerians as a part of bouquet,example BBC, CNN, TRTV, RT , France 24,CGTN/Documentary, Kids Cartoon, Movie, Sports. If you're a slave of so-called sports, that have never benefitted families positively in Nigeria, accept what you get. DStv, thru gotv and Startimes keep recycling program as new.

Same issue with almost every innovative Nigerian start up: funding wahala !

To take on market leaders like DSTV...one needs a very deep pocket.

And here in Nigeria, you are your own. Banks won't give you money, government doesn't care and we don't have the kinda organized Silicon Valley investors here.

So our innovative young people are easily fvcked by their big competitors.

OGdaddy:
DStv Is blocking their way by giving bribes to the people that matters in the government and these government people will do everything to kill off tstv.

this is one of the reasons why Nigeria can never be a business environment that gives equal opportunity and this is why Entrepreneurship is dead in Nigeria which gives room for unemployment which gives room to crime.

MITCHELL96:
DSTV blocked their Ambition, because they saw their plans, why would you let People know your plans and what you wanna do when you establish your project ?


DSTV saw they'll probably outsmart them in business, so they did 1 or 2 to them

Never reveal your plans to people
