#DSTVHacked: Nigerians react as DSTV, GoTV channels show for free

#jaiyeorie As the #EndSARS protest continues across the country, Nigerians on Sunday woke up to realize that their Dstv and GotV channels are being shown for free. In the change of events, all channels on the Multichoice platform are shown regardless of subscription. This comes days after the international piracy group, Anonymous, hacked the account of several government agencies in solidarity with young people over the #EndSARS protests. While Nigerians appreciated the passage of Anonymous, the sudden boom in Dstv and Gotv seems a little too good to be true for many Nigerians hooked on the continent’s premium pay-TV. Many on social media have hailed the group for the gifts, while others have reacted with skepticism.

See some of the reactions on Twitter below…

Omo. All the DSTV channels are open even if you aren't on premium.

These people want to distract us with all games live and in HD only on Supersports. Your world of champions.

At the moment, neither Anonymous nor Multichoice – operators of Dstv and Gotv – has reacted to the development.

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
