You’ll Soon Pack Up – Nigerians Attack MultiChoice Over Increase Of DSTV Subscriptions

For those asking for football live streaminng links. Apart from the LIVE football App, you can also watch directly from hesgoal dot com. DSTV should go and chop their subscription. I am downgrading it to the minimum from next month just to watch Soundcity & BBNaija.
