On Wednesday, 4 November, some of your favourite entertainment and lifestyle personalities converged at The Royal Box, Victoria Island, as MultiChoice Nigeria, a CANAL+ company, unveiled its new DStv and GOtv package line-up under the ‘Expect More’ campaign.
The evening blended performances with a first-hand look at the new packages, with personalities including media executive Obi Asika, filmmaker Tola Odunsi, actors William Benson and Enado Odigie, entertainment power couple Darey and Deola Art-Alade, costume designer Yolanda Okereke, BBNaija stars Temi Nkem, Kola Omotosho and Imisi Ayanwale, and media personalities Uti Nwachukwu, Chuey Chu and Hero Daniels in attendance.
Co-hosting the evening were media personality and actress Folu Storms and Deji Osikoya, who kept the energy high throughout, guiding guests through the night’s programme and the interactive spaces inspired by each package.
Welcoming guests, MultiChoice Nigeria CEO Kemi Omotosho described the launch as the start of a new era for subscribers, with packages shaped by what Nigerians have asked for: more value, more choice and more content that speaks to them.
“We are in a new era of entertainment, and it is made for our customers,” she said. “From the 5th of November, we’re going to be doing three big things: giving you more choice and a clear, easy line-up, so you can choose what you want.”
The night also featured a moving performance from spoken word artist Ibquake, while The Loud Urban Choir had the room singing along to a medley of some of Nigeria’s biggest songs.
