DStv/GOtv price increase? How to save and pay with VTpass

Hold onto your popcorn! Recently, DStv and GOtv customers received yet another round of pricing increases. We are aware of how you feel. Increasing subscription fees may make you question if it’s still worthwhile. Below is a summary of the circumstances and some alternatives to think about:

The Breakdown of Price Hikes:

Let’s face it, these price hikes are devastating. Up to 25% more has been added to DStv bundles, and GOtv’s top package has increased by 25%.

How does this affect you?

It depends. Are you a die-hard sports lover who needs every single channel, or a casual viewer who is OK with a few favourites? Some viewers may decide to reassess their demands in light of the price increases.

Should you stop watching your DStv and GOtv?

Not always! There are choices:

Examine Your Package: Are all those channels truly necessary? If a smaller package better fits your viewing preferences, think about downsizing.

Consider Alternatives: Streaming services are becoming increasingly popular for a reason. They provide a wide range of content at cost-effective prices. Look into them to see if any of them would work for you.

Consider Sharing: If you have friends or relatives who also have DStv or GOtv, consider splitting the bill. You can cut the individual cost of a membership greatly by sharing it.

The Big Data Consumers: Showmax vs Netflix

Netflix vs. Showmax. This does not seem like a fair comparison, right? Well, all is fair in entertainment. Netflix and Showmax are really big streaming services for movies and series, and they equally have dynamic audiences. while Showmax caters to mostly African movies and series, Netflix is worldwide and even has some of the Showmax moves integrated into them.

However, Showmax provides football streaming services. I mean, who does not want to watch football on the go? tell me, I will be waiting. This, for me, places it above Netflix; of course, it would have a wider audience.

I asked a few people where they spend most of their streaming time, and the answers were quite funny. Most people said it usually differs depending on what trending series or movies they are watching, but it is really the same amount of time on each streaming platform. whether you are watching Netflix or Showmax, one thing is certain: you must have data, and you must have lots of it.

Which uses more data?

Which consumes more data, you may ask? I think they both share the same responsibility; it just depends on the amount of time you spend on it. Remember to also have a life (side eye) and go outside once in a while.

VTpass for Data and cable subscription

For instance, you are watching Netflix and chilling with Bae, and you get the “your data has been exhausted” message (cringe moment). What do you do? you can easily top up with the already downloaded VTpass app on your phone or just simply use the website.

Want to also binge-watch the real housewives of Lagos, but you totally forgot about your expired Showmax subscription? just open the app and subscribe. I say it is easy and efficient.

Here is how to buy data and pay for showmax on VTpass

Download the VTpass app and login, or sign up if you do not have an account, to get started.

Navigate to the data payment page and pick your preferred data service provider.

Thirdly, you can navigate to the Pay Subscription page, click on Pay Showmax, and then pick from the different options.

Done and dusted!! In conclusion, enjoying a good time with loved ones watching movies and having fun should not cost you your time or peace; it should only cost you data, which you can easily buy on VTpass

The game between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and South Africa’s Bafana Bafana was a really intense one with emotions everywhere and tension that was so palpable since the day the game was announced.

That’s right, everyone, it’s time for a unique football match!

Pre-Game Hype

As soon as the match was announced, there was a noticeable buzz about it. With enough enthusiasm to power a small city, like how you can power your home in minutes by paying your electricity bills online. The hype was felt all over social media and offline as it seemed like it was more than just a football match but a game where the pride of Nigerians and South Africans were on the line. The stadium filled with hopeful fans and supporters of each team. People sitting in front of their TV’s with silent prayers.

Kick-Off Madness

The intensity reached the roof as the referee sounded the whistle to announce the start of the action. With a fierce determination to outshine their rivals, the players ran onto the field. With each near-miss and thrilling tackle, the fans let out loud shouts of joy or frustration at their teams, as the ball sped across the pitch like a celestial object.

A Single Goal

The action got so intense you would think there was no more to it, but then a goal came sliding in like a perfectly sliced apple. At this point, we all thought that was the end and it would be a smooth game but we never knew it was going to get a lot more intense as both teams displayed their attacking capabilities with thundering strikes and beautiful headers and before we knew it, it was an equalizing goal which put everyone at the edge. You wouldn’t believe how it ended.

Dramatic Finish

Both teams abandoned caution in a last-ditch effort to win as the clock ran out and tensions reached an all-time high. As the extra time elapsed, we all knew that a penalty shoot out was going to be the deciding factor of this game that had us all fighting for our lives. The teams huddled for a last round of pep talk before going all out with their shots. The penalty ended with the super eagles taking their spot at the finals with a 4:2 win. Both teams gave their best on the field in an incredible demonstration of patriotic football .

The End

That’s it, people—a football match that will live in memory! What were your predictions? One thing is certain, though, whether you’re a devoted follower or just a casual viewer: football will always be able to enthrall and motivate us, one game at a time. Keep cheering and kicking till the next time, and may the game’s spirit endure!

Messi, France, and the FIFA World Cup Final

18-12-2022 – An outlandish display of euphoria. Emotions rose high in the Asian weather, and the splendid Qatari ambiance. The excitement. The nervousness. A game of 90 minutes, split into two halves of 45 minutes each. This particular one has wiggled out of its standard definition, and it has taken on sensational attributes. This FIFA world cup final has defied imagination. It has exceeded expectations. Crackling. Sparkling. Dazzling. Nerve-racking display of soaring footballing competence. It will take off into its own life, becoming unusually lively and perhaps even delighted by its own whim. THE FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL!!!

In pubs, classrooms, and offices, people will talk forever about that night- that stellar night in Lusail, Qatar. People will talk about how Messi- in all magnificence and distinction propelled Argentina to their 3rd world cup triumph. Folks will laud Kylian “the bold” Mbappe for how he changed the contest so that you had to commend the loser as well. And children will forever talk about the final that produced 6 goals- more than any final in history. Argentines will praise Martinez, the hero, who stood tall in goal, keeping goals out in service to the Argentines’ grand conquest. Men will talk about Scaloni, people will praise Deschamps, and people will say ‘truly, this is a contest worth the hype’.

and it continues

Among the technically savvy fans, there would be arguments about tactics and nifty managerial decisions. They would talk of Scaloni’s technical brilliance starting Angel Di Maria, who constantly created havoc on the left side of the french defense. He caused a penalty, which Messi converted while he himself got on the scoresheet minutes later. Or perhaps they will discuss the substitutes made by France in the 41st minute, which included the tremendous energy of 24-year-old Randal Kolo Muani and 25-year-old Marcus Thuram. The game included a sliver of justice, as Argentina’s Gonzalo Montiel, whose play of the ball with his arm in the 118th minute led to a penalty and a goal from Mbappé that tied the score and delayed a victory 10 minutes after Messi had scored and appeared to have just gotten one, ended up securing that victory with the final penalty kick.

“Montiel… Argentina, champions of the world. Again. At last. And the nation will tango all night long. 36 years ago since Maradona and Mexico, here finally is a nation’s new throng of immortals. Scaloni will be fated, Messi will be sainted” – Peter Drury.

Messi, Argentina, and the World Cup Final

This is not just about Messi. This is about every believer, every fan, every supporter, every fan-boy, and also, the fan girl who dreamt of this day. The sweat of football gladiators, who wear jerseys instead of armor, and kick balls instead of drawing swords.

All eyes will now turn to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the hosts of the 2026 world cup. A different ambiance, another culture, same sport. Pressure will now mount upon these countries to replicate Qatar’s achievements. We will talk about this in 2026. Meanwhile, Argentina, the WORLD CHAMPIONS will savor the next 4 years. These events will have a huge place in their history.
More footballing action will continue around the world. Don’t miss any bit of it. Pay your TV Subscription, buy electricity units now with VTpass, and stay connected.

BBNaija ShineYaEye Reunion Final

The BBNaija ShineYaEye Reunion Final episode aired on Friday night, 17th of June. Whoosh! It’s been quite the ride. This particular housemates have divided opinions so much. Some are sad to see the show end, while others are glad it’s finally over. Hmm. Truth is, they gave content. Whether it was good or bad is left for you to decide, but they brought the game. There was something to talk about everyday on the reunion show. Call it an escape from your normal routine. Well, it’s finally over, whichever side of the divide you fall on. Here’s our take on the BBNaija ShineYaEye Reunion Final talking points.

WhiteMoney, Maria, Pere and Tega

Ebuka asked the housemates who changed the most after the show in their opinion, and most of them voted WhiteMoney. Shocked, are we? Those who did speak said in the house he was this caring person, and suddenly, outside the house, he became this person who was too busy, or who didn’t care anymore. Ah, well. What we can say is that dude’s strategy obviously worked. He’s too busy making bangers as the musical genius that he is right? Init?

Following that, Peace relayed a situation where Maria walked up to her outside the house about something her fans said. Home girl Maria instantly said she couldn’t recall the incident and if Peace said it happened, then she doesn’t know what to say. All I can say is omo, fear Maria o.

After that, Tega called Pere out for not defending her during the media rounds. He apparently didn’t want to get involved in the drama. Tega was definitely emosh. Her voice when she said “But I begged you.” See where game has ended up sha.

Emmanuel, Liquorose, Cross and Angel, Beatrice and Pere

On the other hand, Emmanuel stated that he never asked Liquorose out, and what they were was never defined. Liquor however rebuffed that to say that it was defined. “Shame on you bro” was the highlight of that exchange, with Liquorose going on to explain the vibe they had. Well, that ship has clearly sunk.

Cross and Angel were back at it. What have you done for me, I did this for your family. This their fight, I don’t know what to think about it honestly. What are you guys even dragging? Can you just rest since you’re not doing again?

It is worth mentioning that Beatrice says she can have Pere anytime she wants him because she is a beautiful lady. Pere said that confidence is attractive. I don’t know what to think. Lol. Are you playing? What kind of playing is this?

And The Rest…

Cross said he would go back into the house if he had another chance. Because there are bills to pay in the outside world. This guy! True though, we know you have bills, and that’s why we’re here. To take care of your Cable TV payments, electricity bills, airtime and data needs, insurance and education bills and more, all on VTpass!

Ebuka, in closing the show, did say that they were the best dressed housemates on the reunion show since it started. We can’t dispute that though. lol. He also did say that despite a lot of the word out there (that they were boring), this season recorded the most votes so far in a BBNaija season. So what you guys talking about? Anyways, Season 7 is coming up, you know who to trust with your bills payments so you don’t miss out on any of the content live.

Tega and Boma Situationship: Reunion Drama

There was more drama in the episode 11 of the BBnaija Shine Ya Eye reunion show as the focus was on the Tega and Boma situationship. Whoosh. What a night it was. What a show it has been. The episode 11 of the show definitely came with a lot of heat. This was definitely one of the most controversial “ships” in and out of the house.

Before we got here though, it’s worth giving a mention to the “Crossgel” shippers. After episode 9 had aired, and Angel and Cross had both shed light on the “ship” situation, with Angel, more or less saying she felt she was more invested in the friendship that Cross, to the point of asking him to say all the things he had done for her. Omo, crazy. She did get bashed afterwards but I think what we say was a lady who cared about someone and wasn’t getting the same energy in return. Sad, really. Truly.

Consequently, Cross did try to defend himself though. He did say that he was at the moment, scared of relationships. It seems however that Angel is just forming hard girl. She seems to like, really like Cross. On the other hand, why does everyone say “we have a really good friendship.” That is to say, all of them are “just friends” now. No wahala. However, Cross and Angel both said they no longer wanted the friendship. Shucks. Another “ship” sunken?

Saskay, Jaypaul and Cross Messy Triangle

Subsequently, on day 10, we had the messy triangle of Saskay, Jaypaul and Cross as the highlight of the show. Fresh out of the game, JayPaul launched a heartfelt campaign in support of Saskay. Sadly, when her time on the show ended, she made an infamous comment in the lines of not knowing who he was.

JayPaul also cited instances where he repeatedly made moves to maintain a healthy friendship with her but she was hellbent on denying him “more times than Judas denied Jesus Christ.” Lol. Judas don dey suffer for wetin poor guy no do o. Saskay in response accused him of being untruthful and having high expectations from a relationship that they never labelled. Tor. Crazy things are happening.

Likewise Cross, when he had the floor to address his grouse, narrated how a midnight visit to Saskay that she initiated was capitalised on by her fans and how they (fans) sparked rumours of them sharing sexual relations. He said Saskay mmust have leaked it for attention.

The Tega and Boma Situationship

In the episode 11, Tega and Boma finally got a chance to shed some light on their situationship. This came after an hot exchange between Maria and Beatrice over, in my opinion, nonsense. People really need to learn how to fight, though. Maria saw that Beatrice was unprepared and used that to her advantage. On the other hand, people online are saying that the only thing Beatrice said that made sense was the fact that Maria was senseless. Ouch!

Back to Boma and Tega though, Boma claimed that Tega had admitted to him, while in the house, that she was already separated from her ex-Husband. “In my head, I was dealing with a single woman,” He said. Not sure we’re having that as no clip of that exists.

For Tega, she said it was all a strategy. She had already agreed with her ex-husband, and then had to change strategy due to meeting JayPaul in the house. The whole story leaves more questions than answers. Holes in the story I guess. Why did you have your wedding ring on when you had a strategy to go into the house “unmarried”? Why did you and your ex-husband “make up” after the show? How come you didn’t say this sooner when the bashing started online? Anyways, they both admitted that they wish they opted for a less volatile strategy in the house.

On a side note, Boma did say people are jealous of him, and that 98% of married men in Nigeria have girlfriends on the side. Omooooor. Na to find me and who dey the remaining 2% ooo.

What next?

Have you been missing out on all this drama? We definitely can’t wait for the next episode of the show, airing Wednesday night at 10pm on AM Urban (DStv channel 153 and GOtv channel 6) and 10:30pm on AM Family (DStv channel 154 and GOtv channel 2). We know you can’t wait also.

Super Eagles Destroy Sao Tome and Principe

Nigeria’s Super Eagles destroy Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 on Monday afternoon. This massive win increases our chances of qualifying for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. 10-0! Most of us couldn’t believe our eyes. Lol. It was a match most didn’t even watch. Many didn’t even know there was a match to begin with. Imagine the shock to see the news of a 10-0 victory. Well, it really happened!

Firstly, you wouldn’t blame supporters of the Super Eagles. Football is a game of passion, and it does affect people. It is why Arsenal fans who are Nigerian should be national treasures. Those guys are trying please. Anyway, as a result, Victor Osimhen’s four goals, Terem Moffi’s brace and goals from Moses Simon, Peter Etebo, Ademola Lookman, and Emmanuel Dennis completed the obliteration at the Stade Adrar in Morocco.

Subsequently, by the time the dust settled, it was a whooping 10-0 demolition. This scoreline is Nigeria’s biggest win ever in a competitive game, beating the previous record of a 10-1 win over Dahomey (Benin) recorded in 1959. Victor Osimhen also bagged four goals and his first ever hat-trick in a Nigeria shirt. The Napoli striker has bagged five goals in two games of the AFCON 2023 Group A qualifiers after his goal saw Nigeria secure all points against Sierra Leone along with his four tonight in Agadir as the Super Eagles destroy Sao Tome and Principe.

Consequently, there are already strong comparisons between Victor Osimhen and Rasheed Yekini. To clarify, Victor Osimhen has now scored 15 goals in just 22 games for the Super Eagles. Who knows, he may be the one who will break Rasheed Yekini’s record of 37 goals for Nigeria with the way he’s going.

What Does This Mean?

As a result, it’s a solid start for the Jose Peseiro era on the Nigeria bench as the Portuguese racks up two wins and 12 goals in his first two competitive matches in charge of the Super Eagles.

Nigeria now lead Group A with six points from two matches, while the Central Africans remain at the base of the log with no points. The Super Eagles continue their campaign against Guinea-Bissau in September.
