Them don collect bribe,I'll rather stream online instead of paying 18k+ for dstv premium, there are lots of free content out there

Dstv pays $250m for EPL rights and naira in less than a month deprecated from 360 to 470.

Before you blame this people, blame your government.

Just recently, YAYI became a pay TV and they have only six channels that are dedicated to football. They charge about 8$ per month. Now, they have no business with what your currency trades against Dollar

The Nigerian government has consistently failed to check their excesses.

Sadly, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

The new and promising alternatives have all failed.

1. TSTV -- failed in less than a week

2. Kwese TV - failed after a year despite charging 6k for basic and regular channels.

3. Consat TV owned by Tinubu - failed in about 2 years. Name changed to Play TV yet still failing. It's premium channels include TVC, NTA, and Mouth Zion Tv).

4. Montage Cable TV: started operation, failed, and shut down its operation after about a year.


Right now, there are only 2 ways to address this issue:

1. Start a new pay TV company and provide alternative channels to DSTV channels, including Big Brother Naija, Super sport channels, and Africa Magic.

2. Or continue to rant like we have been doing for years.

A match is about 200 mb, I think that isn't too much

Fair enough

We don't have choice as there is no alternative, moreover, using DSTV is luxury, not necessity, so if you can't afford it, is not their fault
