Hmm… (LOL) How else do you announce to your neighbours that you’ve passed the GOtv Smallie level? Of course, it’s by moving up to the GOtv Jinja package, which remains one of the cheapest options if you want a bit of everything without paying premium prices. So if you’re curious about the GOtv Jinja channels list available through Multichoice Africa, you’ll need to continue reading to find out.
Subscription Price (2025 Update)
Knowing the current price of the GOtv Jinja package is very crucial, so that when you see the channels listed in it, you will know if it’s worth it or not.
Right now, in 2025, the GOtv Jinja package will drain about ₦3,900 (three thousand, nine hundred Naira) from your pocket per month.
I’m sure you know these people (Multichoice), they keep increasing their prices as if we have no choice. But come to think of it, do Nigerians really have a choice? Anyway, I listed some alternatives you can try out in another article.

How to Subscribe to GOtv Jinja
I almost didn’t want to write about how subscription is done because I believe we all already know how to do this. But for the sake of those who don’t, here’s how subscribing or renewing your Jinja plan is done:
- Visit the official GOtv website or use the mobile app.
- Use the GOtv self-service portal.
- Pay through mobile money or USSD payment options available in your country.
- Walk into a GOtv dealer or any Multichoice office near you.
Why Choose GOtv Jinja?
For me, there are just about two or three reasons to join the Jinja family:
- It’s quite cheap when you look at the wide mix of channels it offers to keep the house entertained.
- Like I said, a mix of channels, which includes a variety of local dramas and Nollywood classics, to news updates and cartoons, you name it, it caters to different tastes.
- And then there is the localness, which has an inclusion of regional channels that keeps you connected to your community.
Where It Falls Short
Meanwhile, there’s a snag in the Jinja package, which I know will mostly affect sports fans, and that is that this lower-tier package doesn’t include the premium sports and international movie channels available on the higher GOtv plans.
Before I round up this article, let me do a short comparison between Jinja and the next GOtv tier, which is the GOtv Jolli, to show what you gain or lose with the upgrade.
I’m sure you’d like that.
Here’s a clear comparison between GOtv Jinja and GOtv Jolli, so you can see what changes if you prefer to move up a tier:
GOtv Jinja vs GOtv Jolli (2025 Comparison)

What You Gain by Upgrading to GOtv Jolli
- More Entertainment Variety: As you can see, Jolli adds extra channels like Africa Magic Family and Africa Magic Urban, which means more drama, series, and reality content from across Africa.
- Better Sports Coverage: Need I say this again? If you enjoy football, Jolli gives access to ESPN and SuperSport Select 1, offering more matches, analysis shows, and international sports events.
- More Kids’ Content: This one definitely works for parents with children, as Jolli adds two more dedicated children’s channels for variety and educational programming.
- Additional Movies and Documentaries: You get more film channels and documentaries — a noticeable jump for movie lovers.
In short, the Gotv Jinja channels list covers the basics beautifully, while Jolli gives you a fuller, livelier experience for a little extra Naira.
