Acidosis: The point am making is if you take sport away the viewers will reduce by half. Those programmes you mentioned came to dstv because of the viewers. The reality show is a one off thing although I understand your point but at least it will affect them small. |

Farki: Nigerian football has had the issue of 'not enough money/investment. As an example, some years ago, Glo , when it was sponsoring the league, spent N500million on the league in one year. Meanwhile revenues for the EPL clubs in 2010/11 was 2.3 billion pounds sterling. Also, EPL clubs charge high ticket prices. The cheapest ticket at the Emirates stadium , London is 25 pounds sterling. That's far more than what someone would charge in Nigeria for local stadium VIP side self.(Eyimba tickets at their stadium 2 years ago, were between N500-1500). Nigerian players definetly will go where the money is. 1 Like |

emmy512: Don't rule out this Govt. Nigerians are very cunny and good at looking for loopholes to circumvent the system. Don't be surprised that there is a company waiting on standby that will buy this rights exclusively from the producers directly and sell to Dstv, Startimes and Kwese Tv. Imagine if the rights total about $500millon, that would mean about $150million from each paytv right? You may laugh it off and say that DStv can simply afford it and still maintain the largest market share but don't celebrate yet. Due to our corrupt practices, d Nigerian promoted company (in this case Startimes) would then go ahead to drastically reduce prices drawing customers to them and making it difficult for the likes of DStv to compete. Mind you, them reducing their prices is because they know if Startimes is unable to pay their share of $150million they can easily put their hands in the cookie jar by writing a memo to CBN of course backed by the powers that be, that way they get to amass so much without no accountability and those bribes DStv refused to pay or where paying would then look like chicken change ![]() I have seen this a lot of times, I tell u d average Nigerian is corrupt, and some Nationals like d Chinese don't mind to roll in dirty waters. This attempt to break Dstv's monopoly is a smoke screen to get to the cookie jar, that's all. Don't forget, OBJs Govt gave Hitv the legal framework to operate and left their hands out of it, if it were today, corrupt officials would have found a way to keep it afloat using Govt funds. Don't forget the recent story with Polaris Bank and d Funta's ![]() Nigeria is irredeemable, it's sinks depper everyday and stinks to d heavens ![]() 3 Likes |

CsRockefeller: Truth is: the Nigerian market cannot afford the cost except there is an increase in the price of subscriptions, something Multichoice wants to do. The problem is that Nigerians have become poorer over the years and her currency has lost enormous value within the same period. Which is why any organisation that decides to offer the same service would have to increase prices to breakeven or Nigerians should expect the worst of services. Nevertheless, I really pray, hope and wish that Multichoice refuses to purchase the new rights to the Premier League so that cretinous Nigerians will suffer for their profound foolishness! 3 Likes |

sexylassie2: I am pretty sure you have good understnding of the indices that determine business fortune. Subscription price is just one of them. So of these all African countries, which of them has the monopolistic Nigerian market size that has been enjoyed by the multichoice brand a good number of year. Now you want to be ingrate to Nigerian government has allowed you to enjoy super profit even at the detriment of Nigerian companies such hitv among others |

kikero: Good content costs money, something Nigerians cannot afford. Nigerians are notoriously poor. More brand new cars were sold in South Africa than Nigeria even though the latter has three times the population of the former. heniford2: Entirely false. Nigeria has the highest number of poor people in the world! That's a fact! The lie that the vast majority of Nigerians love football to the extend of leaving Multichoice should they let go of the EPL didn't happen when HITV got the viewing rights to air the EPL. People still stuck with Multichoice. There's more to DSTV than football. Nigeria doesn't have the financial resources to pay commensurate subscriptions for a right worth almost half a billion dollars! Cable TV is not an essential commodity! 7 Likes |

Santsal: Lol... It's hilarious how naive some people are, even at this point in time. Companies come up with several claims and skewed statistics every now and then. Sadly, people are quick to hop on the bandwagon without verifying such claims. An independent research on DStv plans and prices across Africa is all one needs to unravel the truth. 1 Like |

Ladiesdoctor: “Send multichoice packing and see how naija go do am much better” you made me laugh with this statement of yours. Tell me one service that is ran by Nigerians today for which Nigerians are getting good and proportionate value? Is it your banks? Is it PHCN? Is it your airports? Is it your schools? Is it your internet service providers? Is it even your government as a whole?? Take it or leave it, service delivery in Nigeria is very terrible. Back to the matter, your Abuja politicians are evidently ignorant of how TV rights work globally. The contents being showed on cable TV are bought from TV companies Worldwide for millions of dollars. For e.g, Multichoice pays sky sport about 250 million USD to broadcast EPL and this is in addition to the 100million Euros to broadcast UEFA champs league. In light of the embarrassing depreciation of the naira against international currencies, it is only fair that Multichoice increases their tariff to make reasonable profits. Multichoice is not a charity organization, it is a business entity. Let the Abuja politicians focus their energy on stabilizing the economy, stabilizing by the capital market, improving the earning power of ordinary Nigerians and providing good business environment for investors, rather than chasing shadows. If at all anything, Multichoice should be commended for providing a wide range of flexible plans to match customers financial strength. As for the many Nigerians supporting the Abuja politicians to fight multichoice, I shake my head for you. Instead of you to channel your energy into holding your leaders accountable and demanding for a better Nigeria, you are instead making noise over multichoice that never forced itself on anyone. If anyone thinks he/she is being ripped off, then he/she should quit subscribing. After all, cable TV is far from being a necessity of life. 8 Likes |

kikero: We aren't even sustaining the business as Multichoice is generating a loss because she wants to satisfy the needs of notorious people who are irredeemably poor. She should let go of the EPL and Champions League let me see which company will purchase viewing rights of close to half a billion dollars and air them below market prices. 3 Likes |
