When is Dstv going the Gsm Way in Nigeria?

                                                                       

               

So many households today are gradually getting tired of the tariff dstv is charging.  Until recently, the private station, South Africa based increased its tariff again, to the detriment of the common people, making it more cumbersome for many house holders to operate and manage. Normally, we have  the lowest categories of one thousand five hundred that many low income earners subscribe too as result, not until when its managements decided to sky rocket it price, making it more frustrating for so many in that category to sustain. It is a common knowledge also, that those in such levels are much in its data base, with very limited international channels that goes for it, and unfortunately, ‘’are where more of those subscribers are found there self's, and deliberately, refusing to give efficiency in terms of its quality assurances in return for its regular payment majority of its subscribers does, which sadly, had remained uncompromised by the authority involved.

 The south African station as sweet has it is, never considered the idea of pay as you go, in the face of our dwindling economic situation in which   Nigeria is being faced with, the level of epileptic power supply, and the weakness of its government which regrettably, has allow those station to reap off many Nigerians just because our government is not seeing it as part of its responsibility or that it deliberately left it since its not directly involving them or their siblings. The recent pronouncement by the lower house to clam dawn on that satellite television station because of its hike in tariff suddenly went dawn and was eventually swept under the carpet. A wanton negligence against its people, and we talk about democracy? Can these not be adduced to reaping off the people and helping more in the dwindling of our foreign exchange?  Is this the kind of policies practiced in its host country South Africa? definitely No. The importance of legislating should be that laws made are targeted to the common man; hence this is where many of them the congress men came from. We are found in the dilemma of change and with illusion of where we are its direction. Today, what is obtainable with the deregulation of global satellite system is pay as you go in Nigeria, the importance of this has become  unquantifiable, we the masses now understand how better one can manage every credit used. If, with these level of epileptic power supply and we  have the DSTV  structured in such manner, then the golden part would now be that  whether there is light or not, you are not  ask to pay at the end of every mouth, unlike the way it is at present where once you recharge, whether there is source of power or not, at the end of each month, you are expected to pay  unlike the GSM,  where many of us would have had lots counts in  reservation, demand and choice  in terms of our credits in the current situation that we had found our self’s, in essentially on power supply in the country . Government commitment to corruption in this country should have a redirection, channeling it on toward in the direction communication sector, Nigerians deserved to know the reason our legislators had all- of a- sudden, backed down on its proceedings that was initially calling for the review of hike in tariff. Our people equally deserve to know why the satellite station is yet to go the gsm way given all said essentially on its monthly basis payment policy. Government efforts heralding the digital station take over dead line should  come up with policy that will help the Nigerian people from this DSTV station from persistently  reaping of its citizens , God bless Nigeria.
