Under the new price regime, viewers on DStv Yanga bouquet will now be paying N4,200 for the monthly subscription, a 20% increase over N3,500 currently being paid.
New GOtv prices
For GOtv, Multichoice said customers on its Supa Plus package will now be paying N12,500, a 19% increase from the current price of N10,500. Its Supa bouquet will now go for N7,600 as opposed to the N6,400 currently being charged.

Pushed by inflation
While Multichoice has yet to make any official statement on the new price increment, the company cited economic challenges in May when it announced the first increment.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) inflation rate in Nigeria increased to 26.72% in September from 25.80% in August of 2023.
- “Due to the various economic challenges impacting our business operations, we have had to review the price of our packages to continue delighting our customers with great entertainment, anytime and anywhere.
- “MultiChoice acknowledges the difficult economic climate and thus kept the increase at the lowest possible point whilst ensuring sustainability and provision of quality services,” it said in May.
So with all the bored movies
It’s time for me to leave DSTV and move to TVC then. DSTV yanga don too much, it’s not even pay as you go sef. TVC here I come. A lot of my friends have left DSTV tey tey. It’s not my money they’ll use to pay for BBN biko🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶
Dstv is really crazy, I don’t blame u guys but the government. A country without a good leaders, what do u expect.
Honestly it is becoming clear that i have to leave Dstv for my life sake in this economic bruhaha they have increased subscription twice in a year and our regulatory authorities are adamant to act.
If your regulatory agency has no benefits from DStv, perhaps their unreasonable increase at will would have been curtailed. Politicians that could have made their operating environment conducive for multichoice to maintain stable price are sleeping over what they would benefit from the company
U people keep on increasing the price of subscription and u are not giving us the latest movies that is rubbish i dont blame u sha i will keep it aside is not by force nw repeating the same old films fuck u people
It’s will be better for me now to stop subscribing for DStv and buy smart TV to view YouTube channel and Netflix and more.
This is serious. “Pay as you go” plan should be implemented immediately.
I Don leave DSTV be that. Fuck them all.
Watch ur local TV if u are worried. There is no by force watching here if u can’t afford bit Move On get urself Netflix. No one said it will be easy
Nigerians and complaining…smh
It’s a free (or free-ish) market. If you don’t like DSTV, feel free to vote with your feet and wallet. Meanwhile, only Nigerians and their weird notion of business would not understand why a company that mostly pays for rights in dollars would increase their rates when the Naira local currency subscription fees are paid in is free-falling against the dollar like a drunken sailor on speed.
But then again this is a nation that was selling fuel below the cost of production (or importation in Nigeria’s inept case) until it bankrupted its treasury – and of course has refineries and steel companies that produce NOTHING but pays thousands of employees.
Obviously not fault of Dstv. Inflation hitting hard on every being .
Na go dey loose constumers dey go. Na only dstv dey face economy Crisis? Are we not all being affected by the same economy Crisis. Dstv na scammer Dem be self. They keep on increasing their prices while Keep on repeating the same movie on there channels. They keep on increasing price without increasing channels. I do mistake wey I buy dstv ooo. Them just dey use our head . Keep on increasing. we go keep on looking for alternative
Is that the reason all the channel i paid for disappear? I paid 2250 for gotv jinger i was seeing a yoruba movie and suddenly it change to epic.
