Am surprised NBC is saying this, because NBC acting on the instructions of DSTV helped to destroy TSTV

otokx:
I don't understand, is this not a capitalist economy? Why government interference? Does government have shares in Multichoice? It is not by force to renew DSTV or GOTV.

But where are the alternatives ?

Where is TSTV ?

NBC, please answer " where is TSTV ?

THEY HAVE ALREADY INCREASED IT PAID FOR MY DSTV YESTERDAY....FG IS JUST USELESS NO ONE RESPECTS NIGERIA'S SOVEREIGNTY BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE NIGERIA ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS GREASE SOME PALMS AND IF THEY LIKE THEY CAN INCREASE THE PRICE TO 100K OUR LEADERS WOULD NOT CARE

LOL

You want to force them to freeze prices; now they want to layoff you are rejecting that as well

LOL!!! Buharinomics

If you guys think the DStv is more important than food, clothing and shelter go ahead and buy the DStv premium nobody dey force u! U have a choice to buy or not!

Instead in place of the DStv, There are good books you can read and develop yourselves or abilities/skills u can acquire that will enable you escape the shackles of the govt of the day.

As for the sacking they are veryverong, they are doing this because they know Nigeria is a anyhow place with anyhow govt.

d What books can an uneducated grandmother who enjoys watching local movies going to read?!

yes u rite on d govt but DStv own is getting too much ask u sef ask urself one question have u notice with these increases by them.multichoice doesn't give u value for Ur money do u really enjoy DStv after paying 18k gotv own is d worse.they turn it to recycling TV were programs are repeated esp frm discovery family .they pack low class foreign channels.have u notice DT supersport upon d wealth they make they dnt have a correspondent in EPL interviewing players after match or have a program DT interview players or coach like beingsport is doing.even MBC beta pass mnet DT doesn't do red carpet in Hollywood while MBC do DT.d one DT make me say DStv na scam.they say they spend millions of dollars on local content but dnt produce standard movies like ebonylife TV DT has done couple of movies.dt make me respect mo abudu.she contributing to local content.while DStv dnt produce std movies at all.only produce low budget short films.and then host award to give awards to pple DT are doing real standard movies.

I get your drift. But then, all these premium features you hinted at costs money. How do they achieve any of those when the government is not allowing them make business decisions that can boost quality and profit? When they charge what they should, they produce what they should, everyone is happy. It is a win-win situation. Think about it.

i dey LAUGH. stop, don't go to URINATE. but I go urinate on MYSELF. that's BETTER

that's how these IDIOTS are. NIGERIANS now have this ENTITLEMENT characters as if you it is their BIRTHRIGHT that you must FEED baby food everytime!

emrain:
They are not begging anybody to use their platform. If you can't afford Dstv, buy GoTv. If GoTv is beyond your financial capacity, buy a freaking StarTimes. Nigerians are so used to subsidies that they now demand it like it's their right.

Nigerians can't even pay NEPA bill, they can't pay for water if the government decides to provide it. Nigerians are so poor but instead of doing something about their poverty, they would rather destroy the businesses of hard-working individuals and organizations.

If you don't want your parents to be sacked, pay for DSTV, or keep your peace if DSTV can't pay your parents.

Initial gra gra. I thought FG said they should suspend the increase last week. That means this people will sack if they want to and nothing will happen

The fact that FG is even telling them not to sack workers is laughable. They are in the business for profit, they don't need anyone's permission to employ or sack workers. For FG to prevail on them not to sack workers, something must give in form of incentive. Dead on arrival order

I agree with you to an extent. I feel the best way out of this conundrum would be to break the monopoly they hold. It will bring about the situation in the telecom sector where we have MTN, Glo, Airtel etc trying to outdo one another. At the end of the day, the consumers win. Let's say no to monopoly.

What has the federal government done to improve the economic situation of the country? Many businesses have laid off its staff and slashed wages as a result of the FGs harmful policies and the COVID 19 pandemic. In other countries the government paid certain percentage of employees unable to work and private sector workers wages.
It is the other way round here, while companies are struggling to pay workers in this harsh economy the FG determines how it is expected to operate.

When I find many foreign movies to watch on my free to air.
I could watch 10 foreign movies in a day if I am interested and if PHCN gree.
People like throwing money away till it dries up calling it lifestyle.
smh.
What of smart TV, where I can create my own contents ?

I dont think any business is excited at the thought of reducing its staff strength or ending peoples means of livelihood but with the constant devaluation of the naira, increase in VAT amidst the economic meltdown COVID has caused, this is inevitable. Businesses are currently forced to slash salaries or initiate a work from home policy to stay afloat.
Price hike is unavoidable, especially for businesses whose product or content are not purchased in naira.

In some other places, where the furlough system was implemented, the government payed a certain percentage of private sector workers wages. We haven't seen our FG do any of that. They have absolutely no business in determining how a private business chooses to remain afloat, instead they should look for ways to help Nigerians that have been affected by the situation.

Why does the FG think it has the power to tell private companies how to manage their businesses in a harsh economic situation? The economic situation they have done absolutely nothing to improve but rather continue to worsen it. Many businesses have had to lay off staff and slash salaries just to keep afloat during this pandemic and also in light of all the new harmful government policies. Did the FG give palliative to private broadcasters to lessen the impact of COVID on them? Has the FG ever provided a good operating environment or it's unaware that Nigeria is a very high-cost economic environment?

Is this a joke? Does MultiChoice belong to the Federal Government? Nigerians act like they are unaware of what is going on with the country. It is clear that the increase was as a result of the current economic situation. What has the government done to help the economy? Many businesses are packing up as a result of harmful policies and the difficulty of doing business in this sinking hole. In sane countries, the governmemt is paying a percentage of salaries of private sector. What is our government doing?! We do not even now what all the money given to us to fight this pandemic has gone! Feed 1 million Nigerians daily, MY ASS!! Abeg, I'm tired

The FG should allow them do their business their own way to make way for FREE market economy otherwise investors would be scared to come to the country.

how much are they paying self, they are paying 30k for graduates more than 5 years with them . yeye

Paragon311:
Buy they just increased about three months back.

This increment is not acceptable at the moment.

Was the 7.5% of VAT not considered in the their last increment.

Well, I hope they don't get away with it this time.

They report in dollar and 3 month ago the official rate of a dollar was 370, presently it is 384.

that one no concern me, am using free to air ,it gives me everything I want

As I have read, your content is simple and easy to read. slot I've been following news from you and I'll be back when you update.

Even if they halt their charges, their staffs will be affected.

That is not true,DStv was doing fine before they added those package. Infact during the time hitv got the license to show English premier League, they introduced various channels to attract more customers. Dstv have been innovative right from time and that is why they enjoy high patronage. If you think it is just supersport and big brother that generate fund for them, then you must be joking.

sidonlook:
But where are the alternatives ?

Star times

Duru009:
It's really a pity, no single competition at all ....

Try star times

When most Nigerians begin to think beyond cable tv, things would fall in place. The day they stop the madness for foreign leagues, that is when things will change. Movies on Mnet , Africa magic are exclusive to dstv. These channel generate huge profit for them aside football, big brother Nigeria and EPL is just additional revenue to them. One thing I love about DStv is the introduction of products that suit the needs of subscribers
