They should drop it abeg, body hot me when I paid the new subscription price and I'm not a sports person. Nigerians should learn to live with economic realities.

Nigerians should stop learning to survive and demand for a better life. Nigeria is dying gradually, such a shame

Is his a threat? They should kindly leave Nigeria.

What I mean is that they charge Nigerians higher than other African countries.

I don't think they charge highest than other countries.
I think the main problem is the devaluation of our naira. If we were paying 10k for compact plus bouquet 5 years ago, we ought to be paying like 45k now. After all naira was 145 to the dollar and it is now 450 to same dollar.
Dstv cannot increase subscription at par with the devaluation as Nigerians cannot afford it. Hence dstv has grown poorer as most Nigerians with greatly reduced purchasing power.
Thanks to the recessionists ruling the country.

Economic realities are subjective.


When your salary comes in time, you eat chicken. As the salary reduces you eat products of Chicken (Eggs) and subsequently you begin to eat chicken's food, (maize and millet), and finally, when salary is finished, you become chicken itself, spending your time walking around just looking for what to eat"!

Everyone is on a different level.

Then they should increase the cost of subscription.

You're right on SA being their largest market, but at the same time your numbers say NGR is a third of their total business. Dependency in most economic settings is 20%. A third is heavily material and crucial to any kind of operation. I bet their margins are higher in Naija, regardless of what this article says.

How much do they spend on their ppl or focus on delivering better service... In SA there would be some kind of organized framework for them to operate within. In Naija, they r quite notorious for cutting corners. That being said tho, they leave and another int'l operator will enter, or maybe even a capitalized local. Nigerians just want better service (cost and quality) eh.

Nigeria is actually the cheapest market in sub price when compared to other market

dont forget, the high cost of running a biz is high here

Not true, south Africa is where all the money is made not Nigeria.

18.9 million subscribers in the whole Africa.

8.9 million sub's in south Africa.

10.7 million in other African countries

In Nigeria there are about 6,237,000 sub
That is 33% of revenue .

This info is for last year.

Preach..

Brov, the DSTV is the most boring Satellite Television on the planet, thank God for Netflix.....

My DStv subscription just finished today.to bring out the 7k for sub nor easy ooo

LET THEM DROP IT NAU THEY KNOW THATS HOW PEOPLE WOULD ALSO DROP DSTV AFTER INCREASING SUBSCRIPTION YOU NOW WANT TO SHORTCHANGE US BY REDUCING OUR VIEWING CHANNELS YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS

‘’The results show that percentage increase in expenses exceed a percentage increase in revenues, an indication that while it is spending more on its operations, it is not making enough to keep up’’. This quote means they’re still making profit and not loss. The concern here is that they’re not making enough profit. So, instead of dropping soccer which arguably is the most demanded content, why not reduce other operational and overhead expense subheadings and be more creative in cost savings? There will certainly be a major deep in revenue if soccer is removed.

Even loss making subsidiaries are sometimes tolerated for strategic reasons. We believe the monopoly status enjoyed by this company needs to be stopped and not soccer.

On the other matter, It’s possible to become a land owner if you take the right steps. With as little or much as N600k you could be on your way to making your dreams a reality. Check profile for offers.

Thank you this post. On daily basis, I am vindicated when I say the vast majority of Nigerians don't understand elementary economics. People keep yapping about DSTV as if it's an essential utility.

YINKS89:
Drop it and see how startimes would grab it quick quick... They don kuku dey show Europa and Copa del rey

They also show English FA cup, Turkish,Dutch,french ,Chinese ,US and south American leagues.Just EPL,Laliga and champions League remaining.

This is a premise to them hiking subscription rate, dont for once believe that they are considering dropping Nigeria

Stupid Nigerians throwing their money at UK. I prefer they don't show premier league and champions league on Nigerian TV anymore, if the youths and people will forget their own league but pay so much attention to foreign league. They will rather watch premier league than participate in important national issues that will affect their lives. Thats why Nigerians remain poor. There is too much focus on outside and foreign things. So, people are not thinking of ways to solve local problems.

Paying all these huge amount of money to South African company. What exactly do Nigeria/Nigerians gain from the deal, its just a loose loose situation. We need to invest this money in developing our own sport so others can pay us Rights like other countries, in Europe and Latin America.

Nigerians for the most part are a bunch of clueless people who always choose to remain wretched. Even me that live in America, I cut off my cable service several years ago. I use to pay between $60 to $100 every month, and I kept the service just because of soccer as they always offer the service as packages. Often you can't choose soccer channels alone. I realized it was only soccer I was watching as I did not have time to watch other channels. These days I watch playback on YouTube, and NBS show 2 matches free on Saturdays. That's enough. Virtually, Nigerians and other Africans are dashing UK $250 million every year, and another $100 million to Europe generally. See why these western countries are richer while Africans are getting poorer. Show me one African media product that Europeans will pay to watch.

What exactly did they steal from you? There is no business justification for paying 250 million dollars for the Nigerian rights when the Nigerians can barely afford it as a result of crashing Naira

When will a worthy competitor to DSTV rise up?

that means I will stop watching pay tv. all I watch on paytv is football . I will instead concentrate on watching motivational videos and others. and again the football that gives us joy Nigerias bad policies want to deprive this from us.na wa

They don't.

Ghana charges at least N1000 more than Nigeria per package. Kenya and South Africa too charge higher

We are charged the cheapest rate for Multichoice countries in Africa
