Synagogue Church’s Emmanuel TV Fans Migrate From DStv To HD Decoders

 

In a dramatic twist reminiscent of mass protests, thousands of Emmanuel TV fans, the broadcasting arm of Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), are moving away from the DSTV cable platform to Free to Air (FTA) Decoder.

This followed the delisting of the channel on January 17, 2024, from its platform on an unsubstantiated allegation which viewers have described as “flimsy and spurious”.

Our investigations showed that DSTV wrote to SCOAN alleging that viewers of Emmanuel TV were no longer strong enough for it to retain the Christian channel on its stable. But, SCOAN disagreed with the DSTV’s allegation and made a request for an empirical proof which DSTV failed to provide and still went ahead to remove the channel in what looked like a premeditated decision.

Our investigations also show that Emmanuel TV before now had been under pressure and attack for “airing offensive broadcasts against the mental health of some people in the world”. These so-called offended people are those in the categories of LGTBQ people who manifested and received deliverance during SCOAN’s services. This obviously is the crux of the matter as the church has no control over whom the Holy Spirit would arrest during its church services.

In Lagos, Nigeria, Mr. Mohammed Rasak, a technician, has been experiencing a boom in his business. He stated how occupied he had been in the last few days installing HD Decoders for people.

“I was wondering why so many people are buying HD Decoders, not until these clients told me it was because of Emmanuel TV. Personally, I must confess I am a Muslim, but DSTV has really fumbled by removing Emmanuel TV because we all love the channel and TB Joshua as a Christian Pastor that stands out in the world.

“We all knew him and saw his lifestyle; the great spiritual and philanthropic activities that were all transparent to see. His life was practical, even we Muslims love him because of his outstanding legacies in body, soul and spirit. Nobody can tell us nonsense about him. It’s a good season for my business”

Consequently, SCOAN in its Sunday service had announced its migration from DSTV, GOTV and all other pay cable platforms asking all Emmanuel TV viewers across the globe to follow suit to Free To Air FTA High Definition HD Decoder, Apple TV, FireTV stick, Roku TV, Google TV all to be downloaded on the Apple Store and Google Play where “accessing Emmanuel TV is about to become more versatile, more convenient and more reliable”.

That was the command and it has gone like a bush fire among its members and lovers of Emmanuel TV.

A career diplomat, who does not want his name in print, has this to say: “I really don’t have facts on the matter but my immediate thought from the smokes was that it has to do with the same issue YouTube frowned at which is talking about homosexuality. The west is very intolerant of any criticism of the demonic practice. DSTV may actually be fighting a proxy war for the west” he said.

The migration from the DSTV family is now ‘operation totality’. From the South to North and East to West especially in the African continent where we have tried to feel the pulse of the people.

Mrs Okuwengu Nancy, a public affairs guru in East Africa has this to say: “I understand that being with DSTV is not at all a cost effective venture because it is ridiculously expensive for both the church and users. I also noticed from various calls made to me by Kenyans and Nations around that they too will no longer use DSTV because they mainly needed it for Emmanuel TV. The only thing they will miss in DSTV is football but other streaming services like Netflix are cheaper and give equally good entertainment like movies. People are moving to free air decoders.”

Mr. Nematandam Kirstan, a South African tycoon has this to say: “The biggest loser is DSTV. With the latest technical innovations we can watch Emmanuel TV on various platforms. Your mobile phone creates lots of platforms for you. Many are now moving to watch Emmanuel TV on the Free to Air channel.

What happened to the era of the print media? You can now access any newspaper on your mobile. AI is now giving challenges to institutions of higher learning. Stock markets are running helter skelter because AI assists traders to trade with ease. Pay TV will soon run out of subscribers.

Mr. Orji Onyekwere in Lagos has this to say in his reaction: “It’s really surprising Knowing that Emmanuel TV has a lot of followers all over the world and that also means more subscriptions for the DStv and GOtv channels. 

“However, you cannot remove the role of the imperialist, I mean the world powers; who are now doing everything to turn the Bible upside down by encouraging gay practice and doing everything to make sure the whole world accepts that misnomer. 

“So, by yanking Emmanuel TV off the DStv and GOtv channels, they are determined to fight the church through all means. They know how powerful Emmanuel TV is and the lives the channel has touched and is still touching but nobody can fight God. 

“Going on free to air platforms will also afford a lot of the faithful that cannot subscribe to the exorbitant price of DStv and GOtv bouquets to get a more profitable alternative that will cost them nothing.”
