Abeg, you don hear wetin dey happen for DStv land? As we dey enter November 1, 2025, big wahala dey ground for decoder prices. Canal+, wey don acquire MultiChoice, don decide say dem go cut prices by up to 40%! Na wetin we dey call ‘game changer’ for this pay-TV saga wey don dey unfold for Africa. And no be small move o, this fit be wetin dey save many families wey wan still enjoy their favourite shows without dem pocket feel am too much.

Currently, MultiChoice dey struggle with subscriber losses wey don reach 1.4 million for Nigeria alone. Dis one no fit sweet, especially as inflation dey make everything scatter for ground. People dey turn to streaming sites wey get more affordable options and even piracy no dey hide. E mean say if dem no act fast, DStv fit just waka come off the scene.

Wetin we go expect for Nigeria? The decoder wey suppose be ₦20,000 before fit drop to around ₦11,000 for online purchase after the cut. And if DStv wan remain relevant, dem go need more than just price cuts; dem go need better content, attractive bundles, and maybe some streaming options wey no go break the bank.

On top all dis plans, MultiChoice get another sweet gist for all active users. Dem go run Open Time Weekend from November 7 – 9, where all DStv subscribers go fit enjoy Premium access without paying extra. E go sweet no be small, abi you no agree?
