Is DSTV a government ministry or is it a private one? They should worry about enablers for the Nigerian economy - logistics, quality of roads, security, access to food etc This makes no sense to me. Is DSTV a problem, if it is too expensive - people will stop buying it and they will be forced to correct it. 6 Likes |

Druss: Exactly I agree with your last paragraph. I know people who have switched to Startimes when their dstv got too expensive for their pockets |

post=99533014: Okay so would you support government controlling and setting the prices of the things you grill to the point where you can't make a profit.? This is bad news for businesses. Because if they are forcing dstv today to reduce prices tomorrow it could be small businesses like yours that they will target next. 1 Like |

Stupidity runs deep in the vains of our legislooters... At least those who own dstv the ones that ve jobs, earn well so they can afford it but everyone of us need electricity which ve become more expensive than dstv, what about cement, petrol and gas that keeps increasing monthly... These are what the common man is interested in not dstv 3 Likes |

SouthSouth1914: So if you support government fixing the price of petrol then you should support government fixing the price of your businesses products that you sell to help the poor. |
Re: Reps’ Bill Empowers NBC To Decide Tariffs For DSTV, Others by Nobody: 9:16am On Mar 02, 2021 |
slowice: Okay i hope you would be happy if you were running a business selling stuff and government came in and told you to sell at a loss to help the poor? Because if you are supporting government fixing prices of petrol and power and gas and cement you should also agree when government tells you to sell yout goods at a give away price to help the poor. Don't support price fixing polices. They always end up with unintended consequences 1 Like |

emperorAY: Well there are alternatives like Startimes. Dstv is for folks who can afford it. Startimes is much cheaper. Netflix too is available 3 Likes |

Godarz: I'm not talking about price fixing here is the government that want to control dstv which is a private business by the way. But that is the least of our problems. In a country like Nigeria, there are a lot of bottle necks that creates problems for businesses and causes price rise, its the government's responsibility to remove those bottlenecks and create enabling environment for businesses to thrive and competition will drive down prices significantly..... But that's something they re not interested in doing |
Re: Reps’ Bill Empowers NBC To Decide Tariffs For DSTV, Others by SouthSouth1914: 9:35am On Mar 02, 2021 |
Godarz: You should do a little bit of reading- Maybe read about “market determinant” and causes of inflation deflation! Price control of goods and service are to be handled by government. But charity should begin at home! DSTv issues are not paramount at the moment, fuel price hike is. Not everyone has DStv installed at home for viewing, but literally everyone needs petrol in one way or the other. If the prices of petrol can be stable, it is way better than controlling prices of DStv. Do you understand now? Or should I explain more? 1 Like |

Can they also regulate prices of inputs content? They just specialize in nonsense policies and moves in this country. |

SouthSouth1914: So you support price controls for petrol, but not for your business? You can't be that inconsistent....because what you mean by market determinat...really is just your euphemism for 'The government should force marketers to sell fuel at N40 per liter'. |

Godarz:DStv is luxury while PMS is necessity |
Re: Reps’ Bill Empowers NBC To Decide Tariffs For DSTV, Others by Nobody: 10:45am On Mar 02, 2021 |
edoairways: No, you can't do it like that...otherwise you would be also/eventually supporting price controls on people who sell foodstuff in the market on the grounds that 'they are supplying a necessity'..and make them run at a loss The price controls we have done for PMS is one of many reasons why out of 25 licenses for refineries, only 5 are active...because no one wants to refine crude oil into PMS at a loss( and of the five, one is refining crude oil into everything but PMS...simply because refining PMS is not profitable for him) |
