Omokri urges Nigerians to boycott DSTV

Remo Omokri, a former presidential aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has called on Nigerians to boycott DSTV. 

Omokri made the call amid the hike in price for the subscriptions to both DSTV and GoTV.

In a statement on his verified X page on Thursday, the firm advocate for “#GrowNairaBuyNaija” noted that Nigerians should jettison the utilization of DSTV and start watching NTA.

Omokri’s statement reads, “Will you die if you stop watching DSTV? Of course not. Is it, not the same DSTV that blocked you from watching Nwabali as he saved goals for South Africa during the AFCON? If they cannot block Nwabali’s saves, they can’t also block your destiny.

“There are alternatives. You can stream Nigerian-made movies and TV shows on Netflix. You can even watch them for free on YouTube with your data on your TV. Or you can do what I do: read a book and expand your mind.

“That is why the government built schools for Nigerians (except for Peter Obi’s government). So we can read.

“And in the spirit of #GrowNairaBuyNaija, I recommend you read a book by a Nigerian author.

“As for the Premier League, what is the benefit to you? Instead, watch 3SC, the Kano Pillars, the Sharks of Port Harcourt, and other teams in the Nigeria Professional Football League on NTA.”
