SuperTV Market Activation Train Storms Lagos Amidst Cheers from Lagosians

 

From Abeokuta, through Ibadan, and now to Lagos, SuperTV market activation continues to gather momentum as it stirs consumers and customers to download and subscribe to SuperTV Zero Data App – to enable them stream and enjoy the best of movies for leisure and entertainment.

In Lagos, the SuperTV activation team was gleefully received with cheers, as people milled around the activation site at Ikpodo market, Ikeja, from where they combed the Computer Village, and Awolowo Way and its environs. The moment was exciting with music and open dance from the gyrating foot-works of the professional dancers, to the accompanying rhythmic competition by the subscribers, the public and passersby. The fact that subscribers and prospects can watch movies on their smart phones, mobile devises and laptops without data, but airtime, brought relief to subscribers who were very concerned about the usage of data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bukola Oloruntobi, female subscriber, who works in a Pharmacy Store, applauded the SuperTV offerings. “I like the SuperTV offerings. The convenient and flexible payment system using airtime instead of data is heart-warming. You know how it these day with data. Ahhhh! Data is really scarce and expensive. So, to have an opportunity to watch movies with airtime, even with as little as 200-naira, is a big relief and an opportunity to enjoy myself more – when I want to relax.”

Whereas Bukola is excited about the flexible payment and convenience, Hope Egwu, a Food Vendor at Ikpodo lauded SuperTV for offering a product that is more assuring than others. “For me, is it not better to pay for SuperTV offering that you know you have the flexibility to choose the programmes you want, based on how much airtime you can afford, instead of subscribing to packages that determine how much data to buy and you don’t really have time to enjoy? I think I feel more comfortable with the SuperTV offerings, especially because, I have some control over what I pay, how much I pay, and what I watch. I have already subscribed, and I am enjoying a movie right now on my phone,” he said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another excited prospect, Richard Olatunde, an IT Consultant, feels “It’s an interesting innovation to watch TV without feeding on one’s data, but to use airtime on a scalable mode. I’m eager to experience more of SuperTV.” Festus Oladokun, a student says it’s very good that he can watch movies, and other entertainment categories on SuperTV with his friends without having to worry about data that is meant for assignments and other serious business. “So, telecom services can come to this level considering the huge amount involved in accessing things on your phone many years back?” That was the reaction from Seyifunmi Jenyo, a Microfinance Banker. “Anyway, I hope to get to know more about SuperTV offerings. Mr. Odusami Adedayo Ademola, a civil servant said he couldn’t resist the electrifying moment but had to cross over the street to ask what SuperTV was offering. He couldn’t hide his interest by demanding instant downward of SuperTV App on his smartphone.

Currently, SuperTV is on a nationwide market campaign across Nigeria. The cities involved include: Abeokuta, Ibadan, Lagos, Benin, Onisha and Enugu. Other locations are Aba, Port Harcourt, Uyo, Abuja, Kano and Kaduna. Abeokuta and Ibadan are already done. SuperTV is in Lagos now. The SuperTV market activation is aimed at appreciating Nigerians for their support since the inception of the company. It is also designed to reward customers for their patronage of the incredible SuperTV edutainment packages; and also, to give prospective consumers an opportunity to subscribe to the exciting and imaginative SuperTV programmes. The market activation will encourage the new consumers to download the SuperTV App and subscribe for the zero data platform using the free airtime to be made available at the various locations where the activations will take place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even as subscribers and the public thumb up for SuperTV propositions, the Acting CEO, Ijeoma Onah says that, “From Day One, SuperTV emerged with a powerful hard-to-beat market entry strategy, based on a “ZERO DATA” offering; and partners with Nigeria’s largest telecom Network, MTN – to ensure access to her products and services everywhere you go, with the MTN network coverage. With SuperTV, subscribers do not incur internet data charges to stream after subscription. The user gets to enjoy either Live TV, Video on Demand or both at absolutely no additional cost after subscribing successfully,” said Onah.

 

 

 

 

To subscribe to the SuperTV bouquets using MTN short code is easy:

There is the Try-Out Bouquet which you can access daily by Texting STD to 33150. This will only cost you 200-naira airtime. But, do not worry; at the activation location SuperTV provides that 200-naira airtime free to enable you sample the latest offerings in the bouquet.

 

 

 

There is also the Basic Bouquet which are in three categories of Basic Daily, Basic Weekly, and Basic Monthly. In this category you can access the basic monthly by texting BSM to 333150 at an affordable airtime of 4,200 naira. There are many more bouquets to match every segment of the society including Kiddies Zone with fantastic Daily, Weekly, and Monthly offerings. Reports indicate that kids are loving it big with SuperTV entertainment. They applaud the varieties offered in their bouquet.

11 states Received Alerts Over planned Release Of lagdo dam By Cameroon By shonibare Timileyin

FG unveils plans to bring back 12,400 japa doctors

11 states Received Alerts Over planned Release Of lagdo dam By Cameroon

By shonibare Timileyin

 

 

The Federal Government on Tuesday alerted Nigerians to the water release from Lagdo Dam in Cameroon.

The FG made this known in a press statement signed by the Director General/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, Umar Muhammed.

The statement noted that the authorities of the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon will initiate controlled water releases starting from Tuesday, September 17, 2024.

It said the water discharge is anticipated to progressively escalate to 1000m³/s over the next seven days based on the inflow from the upstream Garoua River.

The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency wishes to notify the general public that the authorities of the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon have communicated to the agency that they will initiate controlled water releases at a rate of 100m³/s (8,640,000m³/day) starting today, 17 September 2023.

“The water discharge is anticipated to progressively escalate to 1000m³/s over the next seven days based on the inflow from the upstream Garoua River, which serves as the primary source into the reservoir and a significant tributary to the Benue River.

“Nonetheless, the dam operators have indicated that the planned water discharges will be gradual to avoid surpassing the conveyance capacity of the Benue river system and triggering substantial flooding downstream in Nigeria. The overflow from the Lagdo Dam is projected to cease once there is a noticeable reduction in the flow into the Lagdo reservoir,” the statement read in part.

The agency, however, said there was no cause for alarm.

“The agency unequivocally states that there is no need for alarm as major flooding downstream in Nigeria is not anticipated since the flow levels along the Benue River are still within cautionary limits.

“Nevertheless, it is of utmost importance for all states bordering the Benue River system, namely: Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Edo, Delta, Anambra, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers, and Rivers, along with the government at all levels (federal, state, and LGAs) to heighten their vigilance and implement appropriate preparedness measures to mitigate potential flooding impacts that may arise due to an increase in flow levels of our major rivers during this period.

“The agency will continue to diligently monitor the flow conditions of the transboundary Benue River and the national inland rivers, and consistently provide regular updates on water levels across major rivers to prevent further flood disasters,” it added.

The dam is located in the Northern Province of Cameroon, on the Benue River, in the Niger basin. The lake covers an area of 586

The release of water from Lagdo Dam has long been a cause for concern for many in Nigeria as it affects many states because it serves as the entry point of River Benue.

Last week, there was a devastating flood in Borno State which killed over 30 persons and affected over a million citizens in the state.

Cleric Cries Out For Help as wife gives birth to 11 babies

 

A 56-year-old Islamic cleric based in Ajasse-Cotonou in the Benin Republic, Alfa Yahya Nafiu, has confirmed that his wife delivered 11 babies in Nigeria’s neighbouring country between July and August this year.

Yahya, an indigene of Onikeke compound, Popo Giwa area, Ilorin, Kwara State capital, said his wife, whose name was given as Chognika Latoyossi Alake, a native of Ajasse-Cotonou, gave birth to the 11 babies in a traditional birth attendant’s home in Porto Novo in Benin Republic between July 7 and August 14, 2024.

He, however, lamented that two of the 11 children were lost at birth leaving the rest nine surviving.

 

 

In a telephone conversation on Wednesday, Yahya said, “Yes, it is true that my wife gave birth to 11 children after a long period of pregnancy. They are eight boys and three girls. The babies were delivered in two separate months, July 7 and August 14 at a traditional birth attendant’s home in Porto Novo. She gave birth to six children in July and the rest five in August. We lost two of the children at birth. One out of the first six died while one of the last five children also died but I’m grateful to Allah that the rest nine children and their mother are alive”, he said.

 

 

He, however, lamented that his family was having financial challenge due to the huge amount of money required in taking care of the babies and their mother as well as transporting the babies to Ilorin.

“One other major challenge that we are  now facing before we could bring the children home to Ilorin to show them to my parents is how to raise money for the marriage rites, as well as medical bills and police report”, Yahya said.

He appealed to both the Federal and Kwara State governments as well as well-to-do people in society to come to his aid by giving him financial assistance to take care of the babies whom he described as a favour from Allah.

 

Also, the Chief Imam of Iponrin in Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara State, Alhaji Zakariyau Nafiu, who is the elder brother of Yahya confirmed that Latoyosi, who is the third wife of his brother, gave birth to 11 babies in Cotonou.

He said, “My brother’s third wife, Latoyosi, gave birth to 11 children in Cotonou. As it is customary of the Ilorin people, we have informed the Emir of Ilorin, Mai Maitaba Olola wa Alhaji Sulu-Gambari of the birth of the children and other people who are supposed to know of it.”

Also reacting to the news of the birth of the babies, the national president of the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union, Alhaji Abdulmumini Abdulmalik, confirmed that the father of the children hails from Onikeke Compound, Popo Giwa area of Ilorin.

 

 

He expressed delight that an Ilorin indigene living in Cotonou, Benin Republic had been blessed with decuplets.

“While welcoming the decuplets and congratulating the parents on this uncommon blessing, we rejoice with the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, during whose reign this glorious history of an Ilorin indigene having decuplets is recorded”, he added.

Abdulmalik appealed to both government and public-spirited individuals, especially the philanthropists in Ilorin Emirate, to support Nafiu financially and materially to enable him to fulfil his parental responsibility.
