Can you really blame MultiChoice on this imported product whenever it hikes prices? “MultiChoice Nigeria, the leading provider of pay-TV services in the country, has announced another significant increase in subscription prices for DStv and GOtv, effective March 1, 2025. The company, in a statement sent to its customers on Monday, cited rising operational costs, inflation, and the depreciating naira as the primary reasons for the latest price hike.”
The new pricing structure will affect all DStv and GOtv subscription packages, with some experiencing as much as a 20 percent increase. The DStv Compact bouquet will rise from N15,700 to N19,000, while the Compact Plus package will increase from N25,000 to N30,000. Subscribers on the Premium plan will now pay N44,500 instead of N37,000.
The GOtv Jinja package will now cost N3,900 instead of N3,600, while GOtv Plus will increase from N4,850 to N5,800. The GOtv Max package will rise to N8,500 from N7,700, and the GOtv Supa package will cost N11,400 instead of N10,500. The highest-tier GOtv Supa Plus package will now be N16,800, up from N15,700.
The irony remains that everyone complains about MultiChoice but none has found a way to travel to London, Barcelona, Berlin, etc and negotiate to pay to watch ManU, Barca, Champions League, etc in Naira! Until that happens, and MultiChoice continues to pay in foreign currency, this luxury product will continue to be priced accordingly.
Yes, he is against our rights to watch Haaland, Vinicius, etc. Not really, I am just writing that those footballers are not paid in Naira and kobo, and this playbook from MultiChoice is expected. And taking MultiChoice to court is not the right thing!
