TV SUBSCRIPTION: JUST WHERE YOUR SMART CARD NUMBER IS

Have you just bought a new DStv, GOtv or Startimes decoder or you just found out that your tv subscription has been exhausted? Of course, you would need to renew your subscription using an online payment platform like vtpass.com, where you can, with convenience and speed, pay all your pending bills. Everyday payments like the electricity bills, phone airtime, data subscription and of course, subscription for your decoder can be paid for once you log in to vtpass.com. This way, you can renew your tv subscription and continue to sit back in the comfort of those channels you think are just for you.

But first, you would need to know just where that smart card number without which you cannot make a payment.

DSTV SMART CARD NUMBER

For your DStv smart card number, you don’t have to look too far. As the smart card number is right on the card that comes along with the decoder.

how that can be done.

STARTIMES SMART CARD NUMBER

Also, this applies just as well for your Startimes smart card number. Alongside the Startimes decoder is a card containing the smart card number. And allowing you to renew your subscription on vtpass.com. By just logging in to

tv subscription

vtpass.com, selecting Startimes and entering your smart card number and bouquet plan, you will at the spot get a renewal of your subscription.

GOTV IUC NUMBER

For Gotv, rather than look for a smart card number, you should be looking for an IUC number and this is located right at the back of the decoder. Every GOtv decoder has its IUC number right at the back of the decoder itself.

So there it goes. You can visit vtpass.com to renew your decoder, buy your 9mobile, Airtel, MTN, GLO airtime and data subscription, as well as pay your electricity bills.

GLO EASYSHARE: HOW TO MAKE EASY TRANSFERS

It would seem sharing and getting connected is as essential a part of life as breathing itself. It is thus no wonder that the various service providers have offset a connective mode through the provision of a means to easily transfer airtime to family members and loved ones. Just as there is the MTN Share ‘N’ Sell, there also is the Glo Easyshare. Knowing how to operate these -services will go a long way in helping you stay connected.

To transfer airtime through the Glo Easyshare, you need to, first and foremost, activate the service by changing or creating a GLO pin. You should keep in mind that the default pin is 00000. To change the pin, just dial,

*132*00000*NEW PIN* NEW PIN#.

Inevitably, your new pin must be a five digit number. For example, if your new chosen pin is 78965, then you will dial

*132*00000*78965*78965#.

After this, you can transfer any amount of airtime ranging from #50 to #5000 by dialling *131*Phone Number*Amount*PIN#.

If you want to transfer #500 to a family friend, for instance, whose phone number is 081534528870, you will dial

*131*081534528870*500*78965#.

Once this is done, you will be sent a message indicating a successful transfer.

But things have gotten even better. You can now perform an easy transfer to any number on any Nigerian network through Vtpass.com.

EID-EL-KABIR: TEN FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Though the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir has not started in full measure, it is not too early to say, Happy Eid-el-Kabir to every Muslim faithful. And also to Nigeria in its entirety. Despite the several economic and security factors attempting to deplete this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration, all hands are on deck to make sure the celebration embodies, in all respect, the solemnity of the feast. Here are ten facts you need to take note of as we plunge into this festive period which is to begin on Friday, the 1st of September, all through to Monday, the 4th of September.

  1. THE  MEANING OF EID-EL-KABIR

The name, Eid-el-Kabir, is an Arabic phrase for “Feast of the Sacrifice”. Another way of calling it is Bakr-Eid (Sacrifice Feast). Eid-el-Kabir can also be called Eid-al-Adha.THE ORIGIN

2. THE ORIGIN

According to Islamic sources, Eid-el-Kabir epitomises the willingness and sacrifice exhibited by Ibrahim. Ibrahim who was asked by Allah to sacrifice Ishmael, the promised son, was very complaint even to the point of almost giving up his son. It was the angel Jibril that stopped him in his tracks and told him that due to his submissiveness, his sacrifice had been accepted already. Woven into this was Ibrahim’s journey from Canaan to the rocky plains of Mecca, Saudi Arabia with his Hagar, Adnan, and Ishmael.

On his return to Canaan, he left behind Hagar and Ishmael who ran out of food and water. Due to Allah’ provision, Hagar and her son were able to drink from a spring of water and even got food by selling from the water.

Ishmael became a prophet delivering the message of submission from God to nomads in the desert. This served as a precedent to the present Hajj.

3. SOLEMN PRAYER

6821/24/9/2015/OOA/BJO/NAN

To commence the Eid-El-Kabir, prayers are offered at all the mosques all over the world. This is to seal the solemnity of the feast, as Eid-el-Kabir is considered the holiest of the two Muslim celebrations we have.

4. THE SACRIFICE

EID EL KABIRThis is the highpoint of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration. Even before the appointed time for Eid-El-Kabir, several lorries are seen towing the roads in Nigeria supplying rams and cows to the many markets from where they will be sold out to Muslims. After the prayers at the mosques, these animals are slaughtered in the head to represent Ibrahim’s own willingness to sacrifice his own son.

The representative sacrifice might not necessarily be a cow or ram, it can be a camel or goat, depending on the prevalent culture in a given place. However, the domestic animal used must meet certain requirements to be accepted.

5. COSTUME

eid el kabirFor the slaughtering of the animal, a blue coat clothing must be worn. Also, very festive clothes are worn on the other days. This is the time when the Muslims wear their very best. The women wear new, stylish lace, Ankara and colourful hijabs. Most times, the men are seen putting on guinea or damask clothing, with fanciful caps.

6. SHARING

During the Eid-El-Kabir, a lot of love is spread in style. The animals sacrificed are meant to be divided into three part. One part is for the family who slaughtered it. While the other two are for relatives and friends and the indigent ones respectively. Also, families visit one another and share meals together even after the celebration. Even these meats are taken across borders to be shared with truly indigent people.

7. SECURITY

According to security forces, 33,000 security personnel have been deployed nationwide to ensure peace and security. Also, due to the relative peace that has pervaded the North East in recent times, the former fear that accompanied the region in the past, preventing them from celebrating the Eid-El-Kabir has been somewhat dissipated. Expectedly, those in the North-East anticipate highly this year’s celebration.

8. EID MUBARAK

EID EL KABIRFor the Eid-El-Kabir, Muslims all the world greet themselves in just one way- by saying, Eid Mubarak. This form of greeting is one regulated way of showing the success of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration and shows the happiness of the Muslims in encountering yet another celebration.

9. THE ISLAMIC CALENDAR

It should be noted that the date assigned for the observance of the Eid-El-Kabir differ due to the several calendar dates we have. In the Gregorian Calendar, the celebration starts on the 1st of September which is tomorrow. But for the Islamic Calendar, it happens on the 10th day of the month Dhu al-Hijjah. This is usually eleven days later than the date assigned by the Gregorian calendar.

Vtpass.com, an online payment platform, can make this year’s Eid-El-Kabir really special and merrier for all our Muslim, and every Nigerian in general.

In light of this, there are certain work smart tips you will find insightful while you get around to performing your tasks this week. We will be bringing you new insights every each Monday. Stay with us and watch your business grow.

  1. Activate your work mood on Sunday

The reason why Mondays have remained unappealing to most people is that they forget over the weekend that Monday ever exists. Hence, they walk into every Monday and into their workplaces carrying over their shoulders the slugs of tasks that they had left undone on Friday. Why not lighten your Mondays and work better by activating your work mood on Sunday?

WORK
ACTIVATE YOUR WORK MOOD ON SUNDAY

This does not mean you can’t have all the fun you want over the weekend or that you have to turn your centre table into a desk to address your slush pile of work related activities. It only means that you should get certain tasks done on Sunday so as to keep your mind actively keen on tackling greater tasks on Monday.

So while you are at the club with your peeps or at home with your family, watching TV and treating yourself to a great meal, you can as well reply those pending emails sent to you. Call the people who have been at your throat for a while. You can set up an appointment with an equally Sunday-friendly person, order for the materials you need to be delivered on Monday and so on. Not only does this make you work-enthusiastic for the next day, it also reduces the load of things you need to keep track of for the new week. And this is being work-smart.

2. Be the first to waste time

Okay. You are thinking this is a covert way to talk about punctuality, and how it is the soul of business. Or how you must get up early to be work-productive. Well, you are on the right track. Quite alright, it’s good enough to wake up early, beat the alarm clock to its game and delve right into work.

But it’s actually better to wake up early enough to waste time and do nothing! Working productively is all about having the right mindset and the best way to grow a right mindset is by cajoling the mind into believing it is not working at all.

Relaxing before going to work
Be the first to waste time

And how best to do this but by waking up at that moment when you don’t have to rush to work, settling down to a cup of tea, listening to the radio, soul music. Even watching an early morning show, lazing around deciding what to eat or wear(if you have not settled this already), and then playing around in the bathroom before going leisurely to work. What this does is to leave you relaxed. As well as set the right mood for you to face the long day ahead.

3. First thing in the morning: Be a jerk

To get work done on time, you can’t avoid being a jerk in the morning. This does not mean you can’t extend the right courtesy or get all cosy with your co-workers. It only means that you should avoid any morning chit-chats, sweet talks or lax discussions.

GET DOWN TO WORK
GET DOWN TO WORK

Instead, you should get down to those urgent, brain racking tasks that you need to do.

Those who get to work on a Monday morning or any other day for that matter only to begin filling in their friends and co-workers on the happenings of the weekend or the previous day never get anything done.

WORK AND COWORKERS
SOME WORKERS FEEL IT’S THEIR JOB TO FILL YOU IN ON LATEST EVENTS.
AVOID THEM IN THE MORNING.

And if they do get anything done, it is merely tacky and inefficient. So do not mind if your co-workers think you are a jerk for the best part of the morning because they won’t be able to resist calling you a sweetheart with the sort of bustling attention and cool gist you will shower them with after you are done with your most urgent tasks.

4. Nothing is as important as everything

A work-smart person will always see every task as more important than another, which in itself is more important. Nothing should be just too important to focus on while leaving the other duties unattended to. And nothing should be too trivial not to pay attention to. This way, everything that needs to be done, from the small task of checking the mails and messages to the big task of meeting a customer’s need, gets attention.

WORK AND PRIORITY
PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO SMALL DETAILS AS YOU DO TO BIG TASKS

But this does not exclude the need to prioritise tasks. It only means that nothing should be so small or big to leave out of your to-do-list. And you are allowed to not carry out those big routines for a while so as to attend to tiny details, just as you can skip those small issues to attend to bigger matters. It all depends on how motivated you are to perform a task.

5. Appeal to your inner muse

Talking about motivation, your body can sometimes be so hell bent on doing nothing so that no matter how you prop yourself up to work, nothing productive emerges. You are at that time as dry as a stone. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself or chastising yourself for being lazy, why don’t you appeal to your inner muse? What this simply means is doing anything that makes you tick and lightens your mood at that point.

WORK
APPEAL TO YOUR INNER MUSE

It can simply be plugging your earphones into your ears and listening to some of your favourite vibes. It can be eating your fantasy food or calling home to listen to the voice of your hobby and children. Even if you feel like dancing, you can simply nod your head at your table or take a stroll around while tapping your feet on the floor. Whatever your muse wants, just give it a go. But remember that there’s still work to be done.

Without a doubt, vtpass.com helps you work better and faster.

9mobile is the new Etisalat!

It is no longer news that Etisalat, the mobile telecommunication company mostly renowned for its fast and widespread network service, has been recently changed to 9MOBILE. Now, this is not just a re-branding. It is rather a revamping of its administration and logo (the whole butterfly thing, back then, that was good).

They have promised to be bigger, better and faster. This is the point where you find the service we offer at VTPass very well-timed. Follow 9mobile’s progress at your comfort zone. Log on to our site vtpass.com to pay for your 9mobile airtime and 9mobile data subscription.

Why Etisalat changed to 9mobile

So come to think of it, what is the main reason for the change? Boye Olusanya, the Chief Executive Officer of the new 9mobile, states the reason in a mild manner.   He says, in a speech, that “the telecommunication company has changed its name to 9mobile as a further testament of (its) unwavering commitment to ensuring business continuity as Nigeria’s fourth largest telecom operator. . . 9mobile represents our 0809ja heritage, our 9ja-centricity, and our evolution over 9 years of operations in Nigeria.”

9MOBILE DEFENDS ITS 9JA-CENTRICITY

But obviously, there is an inside story to this. Not planning to leave us too long in the dark, the real reason for this change has been disclosed. But first, you may need to know that Etisalat Nigeria, as you know it, emerged as a merger between two countries, Nigeria and UAE. The companies are Emerging Markets Telecommunications Services Limited (EMTS) and Emirates Telecommunications Group Company (Etisalat Group) respectively. These two corporations have been working together to keep Etisalat Nigeria running. But the hiccup comes when the former takes a loan of $1.2 billion from thirteen Nigerian banks, only to find it increasingly difficult to pay back. This causes the Abu-Dhabi centred firm to part ways with its Nigerian partners with whom, erstwhile, it has helped groom a flourishing business for nine years.

Easy payment for your 9mobile services

No panic, though.

Whatever the ongoing steam, Vtpass.com, the leading online payment platform, is always on ground to help you stay on track. We help you in renewing your airtime account at all times. Not only that, you can pay for your cable TV subscriptions, Electricity bills and other payable services.

Whatever the situation, with VTPass.com, you can be sure to always get your 9mobile recharge bills and data subscriptions settled with just three easy steps.

At vtpass, we offer constant, consistent service when you need it.
