Price of Ram has gone up from last year but the legislative wont do anything about that. The court has no business with this is an open market. Why doesnt the CPC fight bars and hotels that sell their drinks and offer services at ridiculous price. we Nigerians are forget that DSTV is not a must own commodity, that's why there are other cheaper Pay tv that are substitute. I think the government and its regulating bodies should leave multi-choice alone, the cost of providing these contents doesnt come cheap either, so they have the right to increase their charges. 19 Likes 1 Share |

BBNaija, Phantom N5b and Nigerians' Herd Mentality The just concluded Big Brother Naija tv reality show is a bold evidence that Nigerian social media space is an asylum run by inmates. A facebook post by one Ikechukwu Emeka Onyia, being feverishly shared, evidently without thinking, on various platforms, claims the organizers made N5b from the voting process. 30m votes, claims Onyia, were recorded in the last week of the show. That , he said, amounted to N900m. Over 170m votes were said to have been recorded throughout the duration of the show, with each costing the voter N30. Onyia is pained that Nigerians youths are paid to vote in elections, but decided to pay to vote for BBN contestants. Only livestock can come up with the claims he's come up with. First where are the figures of votes coming from, as the organisers have released none. Two, voting was from across the continent, not only from Nigeria. Three, voting was not exclusively by sms, which cost N30. Voting was equally done by Wechat, which requires no cost outside what you have invested in data purchase. What reckless mathematical calculation produced the figures he is hawking and being propagated by his ilk? Let us assume all the voting by Nigerians was done by sms, which wasn't the case, how could all the money made from the exercise have gone to MultiChoice? Do mobile network providers offer services for free? Certainly not. Mr. Onyia apparently does not understand that the organisers incurred costs in putting the show together. N5b, which he claimed without evidence that made, could never have been the profit on whatever investment they made. Livestock don't think. And brimming with sheep, which are also livestock, the Nigerian social media space has, since Sunday, been fizzing with the rubbish dressed up as insight by Onyia. Don't make yourself a global laughing stock by propagating inanity. Onyia, for a brief while, chose to think clearly, perhaps not deliberately. He said Nigeria can learn from those succeeding. BBN is succeeding. That is clear from the following it gets. He is sore that domestic television stations aren't making as much money. Whose fault? BBN organisers'? Of course not |

Multi choice since 2007 has saved Nigeria 3 times, after it failed to meet Digital Switch over (DSO). Multi choice through DSTV and GOTV, have helped Nigerians enjoyed better and global TV content. NBC should be ashamed of missing 3 deadlines NBC itself had earlier mentioned they were going to meet. This news of NBC shutting Multi Choice down is mere fake news, and a poison pill from its competitors (Star Times, Kwese TV and TSTV) to disrupt their mode of operation. |
