Most apps always ask for certain permission before you can utilize them effectively; while it's good to allow some, it's also good you know which app is abusing the permission to protect your privacy.

In other cases, it might be that you mistakenly gave permission to the app to access your location and you'll like to revert that access. You can also grant an app one-time access to your location making it unable to access your location whenever you launch the app next.

We've seen how to know when apps access your microphone and camera on your android and I think this will be an addition to enhance privacy.

In as much as you put in efforts to monitor apps that access your mic and camera; it's also important to watch out for apps that also access our location and regularly deny access to irrelevant apps.

Ignite Surveys allows users to take a survey and earn points in return which can, in turn, be redeemed as either airtime or cash.

It works just like the Voices Africa platform which also pays you for participating in surveys but it's a bit more preferable as everyone on the platform is entitled to the survey provided you came at the right time.

The Ignite app also comes with the sweepstakes option which allows you double your point, however, only one winner will be announced so play at your own risk.

It also comes with the referral option, which credits you 50point if a user inputs your referral code during sign up.

Without wasting much of our time, let's see how to get on the Ignite platform and start earning.

Mtn points are points given to pulse users for data purchases which can, in turn, be used to purchase any of the data bundles outlined above.

For instance, if you have 500points on your sim; it is equivalent to having N500 airtime and you can use the point to purchase any data bundle that's worth N500 on the mtn.

I think the point doesn't expire except you migrate to another tariff.

I recently used my 500points to purchase a 1.5GB plan worth N500

Now, let's get started on how to redeem the mtn pulse points.

NCC has decided that all telecom providers should block any sim that isn't connected to NIN starting from 30th December 2020.

They initially stopped the sale of new sim cards and I believe the reason for these acts is to curb scam rate in the country

NCC also orders telecom operators to ask users to provide submit their National Identification number within two weeks to avoid sim block.
This was the resolution reached at a meeting between the minister of communication and digital economy and stakeholders in the communication industry on Monday.

This order from NCC applies to MTN, Airtel, 9mobile, and Glo which are the main telecom networks in Nigeria.

In summary, go and complete your sim registration with you NIN as soon as possible.

According to the spokesperson of the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) in a statement on Tuesday.
