In other news, Startimes Nigeria just announced yesterday that they will increase all their prices by 20% (Vanguard pg.43). This increase is effective April 18, 2015.

They also have to be sued!!!!!!

DStv. Enough of the de- marketing.It has now become obvious that the drive to boycott DStv is powered by competing pay TV operators and fuelled by ignorance. Have you tried to regulate the rising air fares? How about the cost of toothpaste or the rising cost of bread ? How do you sponsor a drive to pay less than cost price for a premium product? Do you buy a product at premium cost and redistribute at no cost?

You talk about monopoly. How can DSTV be a monopoly when we have Starsat ( who just won the rights for the Bundesliga from DSTV) Consat, ACTV and others. Where is the monopoly? Is this not the same way we killed HItv? Asking them to sell us premium content at too low a price. Where are they now? You are trying to pull down a company that you should be praising for changing the face of entertainment in Nigeria. There is nowhere in the world where Pay as you Watch exists on pay DStv.

You are trying to pull down a company that you should be praising for changing the face of entertainment in Nigeria. There is nowhere in the world where Pay as you Watch exists on pay tv. Check google. What exists is pay per view which is a situation where you pay in addition to your regular subscription, and that cost is often triple your original cost. Imagine paying as much as $100 to watch the recent Man Utd vs Arsenal match alone?! Is it not infact a lie from detractors that DStv has substandard decoders? Have you seen the competition’s decoders? Perhaps you need to so that you know that for the lie it is. if you must know, DStv in Nigeria is one of the lower priced packages across all MultiChoice operations. Bthanks to Google. Go and check your facts rather than spouting what ill minded propagandists are touting! Is it also not true that all MultiChoice operations across south Africa have increased prices including south Africa It’s a free market in Nigeria. The regulators give licenses to all who qualify. Consat, Montage, Startimes, they all have licences to operate, so they should operate! Rather than seeking to bring down DStv, who has paid its dues and kept Nigeria entertained for over 20yrs, people should seek more information on the pay TV business. Just as with Hitv, it is not DStv’s fault that the other operators do not live up to expectation. Why has the cost of everything else gone up but DSTV must remain the same? Is it a social service? You cannot put the blame of poor governance and poorer business decisions on DStv. People need to take responsibility for their actions!. Check Google.

Speaking of doctors, Anyone ever gone to first city diagnosis in Lekki phase 1? I have never seen such appaling service in my life! The doctor (Dr Alex) was soooooooooo rude and unprofessional and when i dared to tell him he wasnt nice, he almost slapped me!!! After they will say Nigerian doctors are being victimised unjustly.
