Dangote and BUA are into manufacturing and the market is free from everyone. Hi TV (a Nigerian cable tv) came into the market but was killed soon after because it once beat Multi choice and secured right to broadcast EPL. It was killed by Multi choice (A south African company) that fears any local competitor. Multi choice knows that its gold mine is in its exclusive broadcast right of EPL and ECL

It was killed because the Yoruba owner of hitv was buying cars and carrying big yansh women to Dubai and America with borrowed funds.

Gross mismanagement killed hitv.

Abeg bring back our HiSoccer English Barclays Premier League. For sure the indomie generation won't know this.

NimrodEndOfDays:
Look at these fools talking about Monopoly. When you remove the Monopoly from Dangote, then I believe you would be making sense. At least it would create more jobs and a large competitive market.

oga dangote and monopoly? You must be the original fool here, because dangote is what your father use to build his house does not mean we don't have any other companies..
We have BUA, Lafarge and even elephant, i even prefer Lafarge to any other product

But which other platform can show you Epl and Uefa aside from DSTV?

If you want to argue, argue with fact

abescom:
Did you see where it says Market viable rates?

That is still bullshit.Market viable rates is an ambiguous term which can be pegged at different prices by DSTV and the Nigerian broadcasters,and i can assure you they wont arrive at a compromise.You cant expect Multichoice to buy rights at say 50 billion dollars and sell to them at 10 billion,whos gonna pay the deficit?Lai Lai Mohd?

DSTV can as well relocate to some place out of Nigeria!

I don't trust lai Mohammed with talking,he should implement it to latter

OlujobaSamuel:

How? No monopoly, we have so many other cement company (Dangote largest line) doing well (See Bua report on fp today).
The other area we have government protected monopoly is telecommunications (GSM).

You and I know that is not true.

CSTR2:
This can be a very complicated policy that it takes a lot of brain work to do a good job.

If you force dstv to sell, others may buy for peanuts and hence discourage further investments by dstv.

I expect that the policy should be fine tuned such that for every year, the FG set a price floor and price cap which would be based on the amount that Sky Sports and BT sports sold to Nigeria.

Be assured that the next installment BT Sports sells EPL rights would be higher than the last price cos of the growing EPL popularity and viewership.So if FG sets a price floor and cap,then DSTV would pull outta the #shithole to prevent selling at a loss and #shitholers are forced to fix their football cravings illegally,ultimately hiking up the price.Simples

eldoradoxx:
Argue like an enlightened person, I'd Dangote a monopoly? Have u not heard of other cement companies in Nigeria? That Dangote happens to be the largest does not make it a monopoly. Aside DST or the sibling Gotv, where else can you watch EPL and Champions League. That is what monopoly is

because you know of few or non existent companies that are into cement does not make you enlightened. Learn to see things from the perspective of others. The world does not start and end with what you think you know.

Topmaike007:
God bless you bro

Its simple.None of the local players have the financial clout to buy the rights

Topmaike007:
our people no dey Read to understand

Unfortunately,you are the one that needs to understand

Other sectors need this anti monopoly law

apoti:


Football lovers in Nigeria will be happy with this development. But it seems like a complicated one and FG hasn't provided much details about the modalities. DSTV will not pay premium fees for rights only to be compelled to share with NTA. They would rather not show any content once their current licence expires. But again the Nigerian market too big and they wouldn't want to lose out. The next few years will be very interesting

The good thing is that without exclusivity rights, other broadcasters can also apply for rights to English FA, UEFA etc as long as they can afford it.




The statement from FG said they are mandated to "share". They key point is that they are compelled or mandated to, whether they are sharing for a fee or reselling, DSTV has thrived over the years because they have exclusive rights for the sporting contents. Most people only pay the premium DSTV subscription just for sports. This new development will severely impact their business model and they will have to think hard and restrategise before renewing their current licence.

Intelligent, you are.

my dad built his house when you were not born.Dangote was not known that period. If your father is a mo.ron for not letting you know that Dangote was not this popular back in the days when he built his own house that's if he is up to 60 years then the both of you are dumb and idi.otic.

You have not answered my question. Can u build without using Dangote cement?What of Dangote salt? Dangote spaghetti is the only one in the market?, even when Dangote refinery comes on board, would u say it is the only refinery in Nigeria?: Now my question, does DSTV have competitors in sport broadcast in Nigeria?:

Made sense where?
You pay for something and a government asks you to share it to your competitors for free?
Is that how government has made Dangote and BUA grow into overreaching monopolies?
Please no vex me for early momo o.

Common stop jumping into conclusion like a woman, details has not be giving full, obviously DStv will not be giving the right out for free, those other companies will pay DStv.

CLUELESS GOVERNMENT...

Pretty soon, Nigerians will be traveling to Cotonou or Accra just to watch EPL games!

This is a very bad idea. DSTV should be the only cable broadcasting all Football matches. Its not their fault we don't have suave businessmen who are brave to invest in cable stations. Imagine if one useless cable like startimes have monopoly rights to premier league and dstv retains their champion league rights.. are you saying we would start hunting and buying for 2 or more cable TV to watch matches?

It's not by force to subscribe for Dstv, if you are broke, you can go for GOTV or Strong TV. Dont be who you are not.

Supersport shows EPL games and is available on GOTV.

What are you talking?

You're being ignorant and obviously do not know the main role of Govt in any society.

Hi-TV had the WORST coverage of EPL games ever (multiple times with failed transmission)...
Meanwhile, the owner was busy chartering yachts and ferrying women around Cannes. Dude still owes AMCON!

as I said before in a post before this one. Nigerians can do exactly what Dangote is doing only if the environment is made conducive. I will say this and you can choose to believe whatever you wish because this is my opinion. Dangote was not this prominent before 1999. He was known as just another rich man in the North so was his uncle dantata. He became extremely wealthy because he is Fulanis and have waivers from the FG which another person from another tribe can never in a million years have. I have been following the for years and I know for a fact that there are very many people who can afford to build a refinery in Nigeria but the tribe in power will not accept it. Call it sentiment call it whatever but we know how the North plays it's politics there is no level playing field in Nigeria.

were these companies existing in the 80s?

Gwilym:
Good idea...

But do we have broadcast companies that have the finances to compete with DSTV for say, broadcast rigths for Premiership??

HITV failed because in the end they could not compete with the financial juggernaut of DSTV.

Point of correction: HITV failed because they offered and paid much higher than what DSTV pays. DSTV were unable to show us Premiership for at least 2 good years within which 2 major things happened (1) HITV, without the viewership numbers made an incredible loss (2) DSTV widened their local content base by introducing Yoruba film channel as Nollywood had more viewership than sports, so they offered more products to an already captive markets. Other indigenous channels on DSTV surfaced thereafter.

this is selective justice
can u also prohibit the exclusive right on other basic necessities too?
this nation is governed tru emotions and personal interest.
this nation is on autopilot

what happened to HiSports

And will reduce the cost of such content drastically

Some people are blaming FG here and not DSTV. To me, DSTV is the culprit here because they corrupt our sports regulating agencies with bribe to secure exclusive right to show this sports channel. Same reason why they don’t show Europa because they don’t have the right to show it in Nigeria not that they can’t. Now the main thing FG is saying is that this exclusive rights will be removed. Any company that has the financial capacity to buy these rights from English FA or its equivalent can show it in Nigeria. Well this is my own understanding in case the “we know it all” comes for my head.
