For your information....I have no MTN SIM card now....my Dstv subscription had just expired n im migrating happily to any where or watch Korean movies....when I speak I speak d truth...this is my little way of fighting back d xenophobic attacks on my brothers n sisters killed n their livelihood n years of work n investments looted,destroyed n burnt down...Thank God most have left n more are home to Hell with shop rite,MTN n Dstv rubbish!!!!
Say NO to tribalism, hate speech, wickedness, nepotism,tyranny,bloodshed,looting n xenophobia! !!

Doesn't that make you xenophobic in itself? The only way to shame haters is to build yours and make it viable, not to destroy theirs. For some, we don't even have alternative.... Dstv, where will we watch premier league, champions league etc.. Whatever happened to tstv was local.

You can only boycott what you have an alternative to. In Nigeria who is competing with DSTv, even in the telecom, other brands are still miles away from MTN.

To worsen, matters, even the poor no longer patronize the kiosks in their neighbourhood but root for ShopRite. The list is endless.

Ever heard of Amazon Fire stick or Android box? Do you know with good internet of about 19k use Spectranet unlimited or NTEL unlimited of 17500, you can steam thousand of channels with amazing and new contents unlike the nonesense dstv is showing??

Amazon, Netflix etc doesn't beat dstv when you do an apple for apple comparison..

NTEL was sick, don't know if it has recovered. Spectrabet throttle your speed after certain utilization.. So?

Only boycotting their brand won't be possible as Nigerian companies like globacom are still to compare itself with MTN. For DSTV and Shoprite; they are no competitive outfit for these companies.

Look at the great damage BUHARI has brought to Nigeria........... No light! No good road!
Kidnapping everywhere...

To cap it all, he has started jostling for a third term...
They was no light before Buhari came, the roads were in a very bad conditions but thanks to the Buhari administration most are undergoing rehabilitation. Light, don't even mention that one because we all know better. I can tell that; this guy is an Igbo guy because they are the ones blaming Buhari for every misfortune.

Miles away from MTN is total rubbish statement spurned from inferiority complex and pull our down syndrome. I don't use MTN, the network I use is 1000% better than MTN
Speak for your location sir. Go to other places you'd know what the first commenter said was nothing but the truth

What network sir? And what location??!... No network has the reach and coverage of mtn in Nigeria right now. This is not inferiority complex, but hard facts.

Let others capitalize on this situation, and step up!!! Simple as that!!!

Don't boycott anything unless there is an alternative key to it, otherwise we will be harming ourselves...
but do not forget to attack them (south africans) in their numbers... just the way they burn that innocent young man to death during their senseless xenophobic attack.
by God's grace I may never forgive them...
Re: Fear Of Boycott Grips South African Brands by Midas01: 5:18pm On Sep 22, 2019
Have you ever heard of Airtel?
omenka:
Dude, this is untrue. Lying to ourselves doesnt solve anything. A time might come when a network overtakes mtn, but as we speak, mtn tops all networks on terms of assets, innovation and spread.

That is the home truth.

I disagree Sir, I use both NTEL and Spectranet and I am far better off though they had their challenges. The truth remains that DSTV is nothing than a repetitive cable network... You need to see how other cable network works, that's when you will know that they are scamming us in Nigeria, no fresh or new content, its GI-GO
