THE VOICE: MEMORY LANE

The VOICE NIGERIA is an adaptation of The Voice of America. This is a popular American TV show which in itself was based on the original The Voice of Holland. Prior to its commencement last year, many were sceptical about the possibility of adapting something of such standard as the Voice of America to the typical Nigerian system. But the organisers, Airtel, in collaboration with Coca-cola, proved themselves capable in all regards. They successfully blended the American version with the needed Nigerian flavour.

However, it was hard to miss how the Voice Nigeria tried to emulate its American counterpart. This conclusion could be made considering the use of the same pattern of activities and the fact that the shows were not done live in Nigeria. At first, this didn’t go down well with most Nigerians. But as the season drew on, it was clear that the Nigerian version was for Nigerians and by Nigerians. The burst of energy and native indentations that emitted from the judges amassed the attention of viewers.This was mostly seen anytime they tried to persuade the contestants to be in their team. Also, several Nigerian songs received popular attention.

Vtpass.com has over the year served as a leeway enabling thousands of Nigerians to watch their favourite contestants sing. The quick, convenient payment services offered, whereby you can, from anywhere, buy your internet data and renew your data subscription has proven quite timely.

THE VOICE: SEASON ONE

The first season started on the 10^th of April 2016. Four coaches were appointed to select and guide twelve singers each through the drills of the season.

**THE CELEBRITY COACHES OF THE VOICE SEASON ONE**

The coaches included the retro song slayer himself Tuface; the vocally gifted Waje; Patoranking, the king of reggae dancehall and Timi Dakolo, winner of the Nigerian Idols season one and the king of souls. Besides the backstage selection

process, there were blind auditions where the coaches get to pick their choice contestants. This was followed by the battle rounds and live shows. After an exciting three months of good music, Arese from Team Waje emerged the winner. While Chike from Team Patoranking became the second runner up.

ARESE, TUFACE, PATORANKING — ARESE, WINNER OF THE VOICE SEASON ONE

ARESE AND WAJE — **ARESE AND HER MENTOR WAJE**

THE VOICE SEASON TWO IS UNDERWAY

With the promise of a more spicy season, The Voice season 2 began on the 18th of June 2017. And so far, the show has showcased several been talented singers. This leaves one attesting to the fact that Nigeria is a bed-stone of fresh, raw potentials. Also, the judges offset a beautiful Afro-centric approach right there in their red seats. While Timi Dakolo proves to be a down-to-earth Bayelsan guy who flaunts pidgin beautifully, laughs easily and throws funny antics on stage, Patoranking has formed the habit of treating his chair like a hot seat, cheering and registering his words in our minds with slangs like Winneranking.

Not only that, there is a new addition, Yemi Alade a.k.a Mama Africa. And she is such a natural. To say the least, Yemi Alade with her karate patterned fashion statement has become a companion to Waje. They haggle over issues together. They also contest over the amazing upstarts in brawls like typical Nigerian women do and even hold hands when touched by a song.

UPCOMING: THE LIVE SHOWS

So far, the blind auditions and the battle rounds have been completed. Several contestants have successfully been selected by their respective coaches to go on to the live show which is to start this weekend. These contestants include:

Bunmi, Chris Rio, Jahnomso, Wilson, Oge, Majeeka, Syemca, Ifeoma- Team Yemi

Afolayan, Daniel, Annie C, Ebube, Hightee, KessyDriz, Voke, Yimika- Team Pato

Amarachi, Idyl, Jahtell, Bada, Kendris, Precious, Victor, Wolei- Team Timi

Arewa, Efezino, Obichi, J’dess, Favour, Glowrie, Shapera, Wow- Team Waje

Now you don’t want to miss out on what’s coming next. Subsequently, The Voice is aired every Sunday 08.00PM on Africa Magic channels (Showcase channel 151 and Urban 153). By all estimation, it promises to be bigger and better. Hence, renew your DStv subscription, GOtv subscription and Startimes subscription by visiting vtpass.com.

DATA BUDGET:How to reduce data usage

Keeping in touch with the life around us has always been the reason the lot of us stay close to the internet services on our Android, IOS phones, and other electronic devices. Apparently, being able to stay current, interact and connect over the cloud does not come free, it is paid for. With every passing moment, service providers like MTN, Airtel, 9mobile and GLO tag a price on every megabyte offered, in so much that the free or unlimited data plan that used to be is rarely available anymore.

On the part of the users, several tons of data, that could otherwise be saved, are being consumed at a high rate. It, therefore, becomes important to know how to manage it so as not to expend whatever money you have. Follow up on the tips below and you should be able to rescue your data budget.

JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DATA

One incontestable way to reduce data usage and save cost is knowing how much data you need in the first place. It is easier to use something lavishly when it is readily available. But if every megabyte is reasonably accounted for, there will be no cause for any such unwarranted waste. To know your approximate need, and the plan you really need to subscribe for, keep tabs on your previous data usage and make a mental table of what really are your requisite needs online. Sum up a number of the unimportant ways you have put your data to use. Then approximately calculate just what bundle you will need for your next subscription. Your internet bundle should be slightly above your data needs in case of an emergent situation.

HOW TO SAVE DATA USING VTPASS.COM

Vtpass.com, as an online payment platform, helps reduce your data usage and save cost in more ways than one. For one, you can credit your wallet with a budgeted amount according to your need and capacity, and only fund your internet subscription from the wallet. This way, you can have an online account specifying just how much you are willing to use for your data subscription on your GLO, MTN, 9MOBILE and AIRTEL, networks.

Again, you can follow up on all your transactions through vtpass.com. This helps you keep track of your expenses. Not only that, you can even earn money on vtpass.com while buying data subscription on your device. This is possible through the Refer a Friend affiliate program. By referring a friend to the platform, you will be paid for the transactions they carry out. The good thing is vtpass.com, as an online payment platform, can be readily accessed even on your mobile device, so you don’t need a PC or laptop to get on the site. Log on to vtpass.com now to make payment and optimise data usage.

WIFI PLEASE!!!

ONE WAY TO REDUCE DATA IS TO USE PUBLIC WIFI — **USE WIFI IN PUBLIC LOCATIONS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN**

Really, considering the high rate of technological awareness in Nigeria, more and more places are being braced with wifis. There is, therefore, no need to use cellular data to update apps or download huge files. This can be done when within range of a wifi network. Also, streaming of high-quality videos needs not be done unless when wifi service is available. Better still, in very immediate circumstances, these videos can be downloaded or you can use offline options like YouTube Red.

BACKGROUND DATA

Several apps consume data in the background, getting updated severally, uploading messages or posts etc. One such app is Instagram. Because of the constant visuals, it deals with, its data consumption is on par. It is therefore advisable to regulate the number of people you follow on Instagram. This, of course, excludes those whose main line of operation, lie within this realm. But as much as possible, use wifi wherever possible to update or upload message with rich texts or high par images. You can also restrict the background data consumed by some apps on your Android phone. First, go to Settings> Wireless & Network> Data Usage. This presents the statistics of applications consuming the bulk of your data in ascending order. Click on any of such app and you will be given the option to restrict its background data.

COMPRESS YOUR DATA

Another way to reduce data usage is to optimise the use of browsers that help compress information before sending it to your mobile Android or IOS device. Such browsers include Opera Mini and Google Chrome.

SET YOUR LIMIT

If you are such one that still whittles off your data before its stipulated time of expiry, then it is good you set a limit for yourself, so that every now and then, you know just when to stop. You can also enable an alert that tells you when you are going over the bar. To do this on your Android, you should go to Settings>Wireless & Network>Data Usage. Below the Mobile data button (which should be switched on at this point), there will be an option to Set Mobile Data Limit, tick it, and then set your limit and alert level.

There is nothing better than being able to get your data subscription or renew your data plan, just when you want to, and still be able to save as much of it as you can. With Vtpass.com, this is very possible. Visit our website vtpass.com, to buy and renew your data. Also, utilise our affiliate programs to earn more money even as you stay connected.

PREMIER LEAGUE 2017-18: HIGHLIGHTS

It is time for football fans to again feel the thrills and tremor of football. Only this time, the thrills are being felt even before the first goals tear through the nets. Prior to the English premier league 2017 which is set to start on the 11^th of August 2017 and end on the 13^th of May 2018, unanticipated events have been taking place. These events have raised the adrenaline of fans all over the world and hinted them on just how tough and particularly unpredictable this football season is going to be. We at Vtpass are dedicated to making sure you do not lose out on any fun this premier league season.

Log on to vtpass.com and renew your cable Tv subscription soon enough. And catch the excitement firsthand even as the world’s trending, top coaches are once more about to go head to head with one another. Antonio Conte, Chelsea’s coach who plunged Chelsea into a sweeping victory during the last premier league has been described as the finest manager, and maybe one of the best coaches in the world.

DEFENDING CHAMPION, CHELSEA, WINS CONTENDERS

As gratifying as this is, it has won Chelsea stronger contenders for this year’s premier league 2017. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s coach, has proven that he will be one hard nut to crack this season. Due to his performance last season, the French newspaper L’Equipe has preferred him over Conte. They have named him best football coach. There are other upcoming coaches that might prove a strong challenge to Chelsea in this year’s premier league.

TRANSFER DEALS FOR ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE 2017-18

CHELSEA

NEMANJA MATIC BIDS FAREWELL TO CHELSEA

The transfer deals this season has been super terrific, even shocking! Nemanja Matic, one trending midfielder of defending champions, Chelsea FC has been transferred to Manchester United after a £40 million bid on him. Most fans see this as quite a strange action, considering Matic’s remarkable input last season. But it seems Conte has his eyes on a bigger fish. He wrestles with Manchester United over Bale, who is currently playing for Real Madrid.

Not only that, Chelsea is bidding for Southampton’s star player, Virgil Van Dijk. But their transfer deal is not about to go down without a hitch. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are also other options lined up for him. However, it is more likely that Chelsea will get Van Dijk. They have the favour of Southampton’s fans. But they are most likely to lose their bid for Bale.

MANCHESTER UNITED

ONCE A BLUE, ALWAYS A BLUE

More so, Wayne Rooney of Manchester United has rejoined his alma-mater team, Everton, after playing thirteen years for Manchester United. This has created a yawning gap whose job to fill has been given to Michael Carrick. Thus, he is now the new captain of the Manchester United squad.

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.
