A group of Nigerians took to twitter, to complain over the increase of DSTV subscription rates that took effect on the 1st of April, and also rally for support to boycott DSTV services in Nigeria. A subscriber said: “When I saw that the date was 1st of April, I dismissed it thinking DSTV was trying to play an April fools’ day prank. But it’s real.”

DSTV announced an increase in its subscription rates for all its services in March, saying the increase will take effect from April 1, 2015.
In a press release, Philip Wahome DSTV’s Communication Manager,said “In determining a price increase, Multichoice takes into account many factors including the impact on the subscriber, current inflation and efficiencies effected within the company that may offset the necessity for a price increase. Unfortunately, it is necessary annual basis due to rising costs to the business. Our pricing reflects the cost of doing business and the necessary return on capital in order to ensure a world class, reliable and sustainable pay television service”.
DSTV… This corporate thievery and arm twisting by DSTV is absurd, appalling and insensitive. Worst still?, their customer service is not reachable. Dstv Maintain old tariff or hug transformer…exploiters!!
Multichoice in not the problem but our regulators who after collecting brown envelope look the other way for the masses to be exploited. In south Africa where multichoice headquarters were, subscribers are been billed as you watch why not in here in Nigeria? To hell with you.
We pray the new government will act responsibly and look into all these areas where these foreigners milk us dry in Nigeria owning largely to the irresponsive leaders who’ve been foisted on us for about two decades now.
