Why Nigerians Must Not Allow TSTV To Die - Vanguard Report by skymobilemedia: 5:38am On Oct 17, 2017 |
Nigeria is a country blessed with so much human and
natural resources, the country has always been a shining
light in almost every endeavor possible in Africa and the
world at large.
In Nigeria, the unfavourable socio-economic system has
made it very difficult for indigenous companies,
entrepreneurs and start-ups to excel to the fullest of their
potential.
There has been insinuations that foreign investors fare
better in Nigeria compared to the home based
companies. This may look like a fact but we have to
examine the root cause of this ugly report.
For instance, in early 2007, an indigenous satellite TV
company, HiTV came into existence to compete with the
South African based cable company. To an average dish
and decoder owner, they are more concerned with that
company that can offer them value for their money.
HiTV started very well in competition with the popular
company, offering same quality services with lesser
prices, but what many cannot explain was how HiTV
folded up within a few years of its existence.
There were rumours that the owner took some loans
from banks to run the business but he could not pay back.
This was certainly not the case, it was a mere propaganda
and trick played to set the Nigerian people against the
company and its owners. Further digging has revealed
that the company was sabotaged by the popular cable
company in connivance with some top management
officials of the bank where HiTV took several millions of
Naira to run the business.
Few months ago, news broke that another premium and
quality Dish and Decoder company called TSTV entered
the market to compete with others but with cheaper
subscriptions. TSTV enjoyed massive media attention,
they also enjoyed massive sympathy from Nigerians
because of their promise to offer better services with less
fees.
TSTV announced that they will be launching on October
1st, promising to give out over 5,000 free decoders, and
naturally the company will produce over 10,000 direct and
indirect jobs within few months of operation.
Surprisingly, rumours started flying around that some
powerful people who have interests in existing popular
cable company were threatening TSTV. This news angered
Nigerians and several people took to social media to air
their opinions. The pressure made the alleged
conspirators to pipe low.
Nigerians began to ask why any sane person will want to
stop or destroy a company capable of offering quality
service with less amount in favour of those ripping off
citizens? Why should anyone want to stop the existence of
a company capable of producing tens of thousands jobs
for the unemployed skilled and unskilled people.
Since the plan to stop TSTV launch failed, the conspirators
with popular the cable TV are reportedly making another
dangerous move against TSTV which will have a negative
impact on the Nigerian economy and affect the already
excited potential subscribers.
It was gathered that a certain cable TV company went
behind to contact the stations TSTV had already signed
contracts with and allegedly paid them 5 million dollars to
cancel those airing contracts with TSTV. At as the time of
this report, it was gathered that fifteen TV stations have
cancelled their contracts with TSTV.
Nigerians should not fold their arms and allow foreigners
destroy our own indigenous companies, with the
connivance of some saboteurs who are in the corridors of
power.
TSTV has promised to introduce pay per view which
should be the normal practice to the advantage of
subscribers but existing cable TV which has been ripping
Nigerians off for decades, is hell bent on sabotaging them
to continue to exploit Nigerians. It is about time Nigerians
speak up, and prevail on government to support TSTV’s
stay and existence in Nigeria.
If we all allow those in the business to kill TSTV the same
way they killed HiTV, many to our graduates who are
potential employees of TSTV will remain unemployed, the
existing cable TV will continue to cheat and rip Nigerians
off. Nigerians should only pay for services enjoyed and
not be subjected to the forceful monopoly. Source: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/10/nigerians-must-not-allow-tstv-die/

Where is the government when you need them? Where is the minister of trade and investment? If Olusegun Aganga was still in charge, he would have done something good about this situation. Why are the ministers under bubu lucid? I forgot they do not have access to him. So how can they defend their proposals? |

TSTV... To much talks.... No action. Is it that they didn't have a clear plan or were they only trying to sample our opinion on pay TV, or they didn't envisage obstacles and challenges? Abeg, if selling the decoder at 10k will make it a reality, pls do. Don't know how long we'll wait for this. |

Why should we not allow it to die, I hate it when people do not do their home work very well and end of trying to play the sympathy card. Before launch, you should have insured that all your equipments are in place functioning and working, that your distribution channels are there and products available in your warehouse. I don't pity them, if they don't succeed, it's their business, besides it would be them that would run at a loss, if they fail |

Many people need info on the latest development on this TSTV thing. I, for one, has been scavenging for info on them before I stumbled on this. So send this to the front Mod. 1 Like |
