https://thenationonlineng.net/just-in-tribunal-stops-multichoice-from-increasing-dstv-gotv-subscription-rates/

no sensible organization should plead with multichoice,they should stood their ground and insist on the new rates, it's not by force to subscribe,if you like,come and remove your decoder! I will not pay a dime, I don't have power for 10 days now, a friend was lamenting that he did subscription whilst no public power in our area, DSTV, you have passed your usefulness

This country and misplaced priorities ehn.. tufiakwa

Akalia:
What's your argument Dr? With all respect why are you putting up a defence on behalf of multichoice? What underlying meaning was your post trying to convey? Please make me understand?

My first post was heavily laced with sarcasm. In other words, we share similar views

EmeeNaka:
Is this not interference in their freedom of legitimate business operations ? Do they want the business to wind up?

it's not uNa fault, Nigerians take anything thrown at them, that's why loud mouth like you can talk anyhow, which nonsense business are you talking about, the rate at which multichoice and MTN are exploiting Nigerians has no part two, several billion of dollars in cash flight out of Nigeria yet SA people will continue to attack Nigerian interest in SA. Left for me, all South Africa business should leave Nigeria

Multi choice should be made to use pay as you use system, under regulated metrics...

This your pay use in a country that doesn't have electricity, how much will they make

What they should do for the masses is to make DSTV/GOTV sub pay as you go. That way people can get valve for their money

If them like dem intervene or not, one day dem and NEPA go wake up one day and realize say Nigerians don move on without them..... everybody is disposable and dispensable.

BlocksNG:
awon ole alagbado. They will take bribe soon..

Ofcourse that is why they are doing this.. When them collect,everywhere go silent..

Oracle411:


U can pay the new price na

Dey no force gun for my head.

Cable tv is not an essential service.

I don't use DSTV.

The startimes I was managing last year, I have abandoned it because of poor power supply.

abobote:

As a citizen, you should be on the side of fair trade dealings for the people. Know where your interests lies.

Heffalump:


Thank you. With pay as you view, I wouldn't mind their fees increase. They are taking advance of the porous Nigeria system, where government officials take bribe and allow a service provider to milk the masses.
Nonsense!

DSTV that I know will still increase the fees anyway. Very heartless company. I blame ourselves for enduring a monopoly as DSTV.

Pay as you use, is the fair way.

There should be competition than telling a business owner how to run his business....


Government should provide other service providers or seek for private services to compete with DSTV...

How Hi TV was closed down is still a surprise to me...

Nigeria is crashing everyday, electricity tariff hike, petroleum price hike and DStv subscription price hike in this same country. God will judge you all

there are regulatory bodies... Make dem give dem freedom to finish us arbi

They allowed DISCOs to increase prices but they don't want DSTV to increase their prices.
Epitome of nonsense!

You talk without thinking.

The price hike of multichoice service take place all over the country they're operating

Light no dey
Fuel no dey
Money no dey
But NTA dey

Shey you never increase we no dey watch better switch to Pay as you View ... because IBEDC no send their father anymore...but at least na Pay as you supply.... He go soon red for their account...

⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️

How come it's only DSTV that government
has power in controlling their prices..


They are helpless in controlling prices of
more important things like foodstuff,
Petroleum products, dollars, gas, transportation, electricity, school fees of federal institutions and others..


All these things have gone up by over
300% and nobody spoke up.


Now, ordinary 25% increase of DSTV
and everyone is in battle mode.

We should know that their own costs of
business has also gone up, so, nothing
wrong with this moderate increase..



Government should let DSTV breathe❗️❗️❗️ ⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️

Fallacy

Mentioned one country that paytv is pay as you go?

Nazgul:

Their new prices have already been confirmed. Gotv Supa+ is now N15,700 against it's former price of N12,500.

The problem with Nigerians is that we don't speak with one voice. Tribalism really divided us. If not tell me how these criminals would constantly keep exploiting us year in year out and all we can do is to grumble on social media without any action?

Liar - I am about to sub gotv jolli now and the price has not changed (3950)

In any case gotv herself said with effect from May 1 2024...

So how did your own prices change before the date...

Temidayo9:

Bring proof that the pay as you use system is not used in some countries?

You have the burden of proof not me.

But when federal government increased the price of fuel, and electricity .. you did not intervene and stop the government .. hyprocite

baretalk:

Please mention one country, please I take God beg you, and mentioned the name of the paytv

Temidayo9:

You are empty. You are the one arguing, by now I expect to see any authority from a news paper or magazine stating cable television is outlawed to use pay as you use system...

Otherwise I will take it you are an empty basket, just going round nairaland, arguing baselessly.

LordofNaija:
CCPT wasn't there whe NERC increased electricity tariff

...do not mind them..and when government increased the price of fuel they did not stop the government

One thing you must know is that DSTV and GoTV are foreign goods just like u order for Gucci, Iphone , Samsung etc.

These guys pay in dollars or whatever forex to get their license. You have a country where forex value on her currency fluctuates at about 10 to 20%. How do you expect them to stay on business given our currency devaluation?

How many of us here have run a biz that involves importation and u pay forex? That's what your DSTV or GOTV is about.

Why don't you quit there service and watch NTA in peace instead of complaining.

Even data prices have increased so why is DSTV and GoTV any different?

Until we start consuming local goods and our import to export ratio is positive expect this scenarios.

I said their new price adjustments have been confirmed because I also got their message. Go back and read my previous message.

You just confirmed what I said with regards to the price increment which gotv themselves confirmed. Yet you're calling me a liar.

Simple comprehensive English is so difficult for most of you guys on Nairaland.

We went pay par view

Many will just prefer to say nonsense just because you aren't happy with the person in government.
The price hike only applies to Band A which are majorly business owners. If there could be 20-24 power supply, it is more preferable to be running their business on diesel
