No matter the angle from which you are looking at this, any promo from any company is always worth it. We all know that these guys are the satellite pay-TV giant in Africa. We either tend to work our way around them or dance to their tunes. Seriously, any promotional offer from multichoice is always welcome. Hence, this post on DStv/GOtv Mega Promo is one thing you don’t want to miss. I shall be dedicating this post to any ongoing promo on DStv and Gotv. This article will be regularly updated based on the changes in the promotional offers available.
Showmax and MTN Nigeria Partnership Promo
This new promo offers you a 1-month of SHOWMAX subscription plus 2.5GB of showmax data that is enough to stream 25 hours of premium showmax content. For their terms and conditions, read. To opt-in dial *131*8*4#
Showmax and MTN Nigeria Bring Special Cheaper Data Plans to Stream Showmax Contents
Showmax is an internet TV service(IPTV) owned partly or wholly by multichoice. they are available for all audiences in sub-Saharan Africa and they operate similarly to Netflix. unlike Netflix, you can get live sports on showmax. It seems showmax also own its own official IPTV box.
To make life easier for showmax subscribers in Nigeria, showmax has partnered with MTN Nigeria. The partnership is promising as it affords subscribers the ability to be able to get special and relatively cheaper data for showmax content. Below is the list of available plans for showmax, their validity and allocated hours.

It is no longer news effective from April 1st, 2022, Multichoice rolled out their new prices on all their satellite tv subscriptions. Below are the major highlights of the new price regime:
- DStv Premium (will move from 18,400 to N21,000), Compact + (from 12,400 toN14,250), Compact ( from 7900 to N9,000), Confam is now N5,300, Yanga increased to N2,950, and Padi is now N2,150 per calendar month.
- Xtraview + PVR access subscription has also been increased from 2,650 to N2,900
- Gotv Max for N4,150, GOtv Jolli for N2,800, GOtv Jinja for N1,900, GOtv Lite for N900.
The Good news is that, if you pay your subscription before the due date(valid till July ending) and you continue to do so, you will be eligible to pay the old price for at least a year. You can learn more from this document.
In addition, Multichoice is encouraging some subscribers to migrate to DStv premium by opening up Premium channels for some compact plus subscribers. If you renew on the premium package during this period, you also qualify to continue paying the old premium subscription fee of 18,400NGN

DStv and GOtv Pay Less to Watch More Promo 2023: Dstv and GOtv Upgrade And Get Boosted Offer
Let’s say every corporate organization is looking for ways to cushion the effects of the hardship brought upon humanity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of his palliative is mostly targeted toward existing clients. Multichoice, the owner of DStv and Govt Africa is not left out of this. Against this backdrop, DStv has reintroduced one of its most reasonable promotional offers in recent times.
Interestingly, both active, and disconnected DStv subscribers are eligible. As shown below, customers on the Yanga package who upgrade to Confam package will get boosted to enjoy programming on the Compact package. Similarly, those on the Compact package who renew on Compact Plus will get boosted to premium.
Premium subscribers enjoy a free DStv showmax subscription. Therefore, we can say the equation is balanced.
Basically, this promo is tagged: “pay for a higher plan above your current subscription then get upgraded to the next one” or stay connected or reconnect DStv Promo.
Apparently, I guess the hierarchy at MC realized this and now rolled out a promo that is even better than the DStv plan offer.

Also, below is a table showing all the packages available on DStv and how you can benefit from this promo on each of the packages.

GOtv Step-Up offer for all GOtv Subscribers
Starting on January 5, 2022, GOtv has rolled out a more elaborate promotional offer for all its subscribers.

Massive Price Slash On DStv Nigeria and GOtv Entry Level Decoders
Most of you have witnessed a series of discounts on the DStv Explora. Some of these ran as a standalone offer while at other times, it ran concurrently with other decoder discount offers.
However, this latest price slash will see the DStv Zappa HD decoder, dish kit plus Compact package subscription drop from N18,600 to N9,900. Similarly, GOtv decoder, GOtennae with GOtv Jolli package subscription will go from N8,400 to N6,900. See images below:
Speaking at a virtual media briefing held on Friday, 29 January, Chief Customer Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, Martin Mabutho, explained that the price slash is part of MultiChoice’s commitment to making quality entertainment more accessible to Nigerians.
“With this discount, it simply means the barrier customers encounter in purchasing the starter kit of DStv or GOtv decoders have been removed.
This promotional offer(that is the discounted DStv and GOtv bundle offer) will be available all through February 2021 only.
CONCLUSION
The above information was 100% valid and correct at the time of posting. However, the ultimate power and discretion lie with multichoice who can change, stop, extend, or modify at will. Finally, to the best of my knowledge, this is only applicable to their Nigerian subscribers. I believe they will have a similar or a better package for their subscribers outside Nigeria.

Gotv sent me SMS twice to renew my Gotv joli subscription before the expiry date of 17th July, 2020 and be upgraded to Gotv max within 48 hrs. I subscribed on 16th of July via online and till today, 25th July, I have not been upgraded to Gotv max as promised.
What is going on? Can’t Gotv maintain their integrity by giving services for payment received?
@Peter: pleas give their call center a call. I think the promo is over though.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Who will deliver me from this scam of a company called Multi Choice? Relying on their scammed advert on google that they have a running promo for July, 2020 I subscribed 4600+ and no upgrade was done as they represented. When I finally used my airtime to call, I was informed there is no promo running. Who is deceiving who? I know as long as the Nigerian politicians are benefiting from this Fruad of a company only you God of heaven can deliver me from this wicked and heartless exploitative monopoly. Help me now!

I am very disappointed in GoTv for not informing me of the changes in the packages.
Before, when I subscribe for GoTv plus, I have Mnet movies in it, but all of a sudden, it was no longer there….and when I called the customers service, I was told it was not part of plus package, how can you do that without telling us?
The truth is you guys are exploiting us and it is very bad.
If this continues, I will have to drop your product and go for another one.
Thanks.
@segun: they do that often. sadly, it is part of their ambiguous terms and conditions

If this promotion is real, why is got charging me(IUC:7023728689) 5,693, that is additional 2,493 to the normal 3,200 for gotv max.

I want to know if the promo is still on because my subscription just expired today. I want to no if I subscribe they will give me 3 months free. I just bought my decoder last month but they didn’t give me free subscription. But my friend told me that they are using three months subscription free, so why is mine different.
