The telecommunication company has deemed this necessary in view of the fact that not all of its subscribers can afford to buy data plans at higher prices. Hence, the need to segment MTN data bundles into different categories so that all fingers can afford theirs without stress in their own path. That is why today, everyone can afford to buy MTN data for as low as #25.

Who can subscribe to MTN Data bundle?
Recently, one of our esteemed readers asked me the above question.

In summary, MTN On Demand is a service which lets subscribers buy airtime directly from their bank accounts through a USSD code at their convenience, anytime, anywhere. Subscribers can buy airtime to a maximum of N3000. In other words, if you're an MTN subscriber, with your MTN number, you can dial a simple 3-digits USSD (*904#) code and purchase airtime through your bank at the comfort of your mobile phone without going to any MTN shop. This service is as easy as the word. The most interesting aspect of it is that with your non-browsing phone, Nokia torchlight, you can also key into this golden opportunity.

The process does not require you to get a smartphone first before you can buy airtime via the code. I will explain in details how you can use your Nokia torch phone to buy or purchase airtime or data bundles from your bank via this code. If you own a smartphone, the process is easier compare to the non-browsing phone but that notwithstanding, here I'll show you how you can get done via non-browsing phone with ease just like with the smartphones.

How MTN On Demand Works
Here's are the service works. You can actually recharge or buy airtime via this service for yourself(self) or your family member or friend(third-party). There is no big difference between the two methods. The duo involves the same code but with little adjustment or modification. I'll show you how you can get them with ease at the comfort of your phone. So, relax and follow me accordingly. First of all, let me say here that MTN Nigeria has deloped a unique code with which its subscribers can dial to access this service absolutely free of charge. MTN subscribers can now buy airtime directly from their bank. To do that, all they need to do is dial *904*Amount#.

When you dial the code, if you have different bank accounts, you can choose which of the banks you wish to buy or purchase airtime from.

Wondering how you can get that done?

See it here, when you dial the USSD code i.e. *904*Amount#, you will automatically be taken to a page with a list of the banks you bank with from which you can then select the bank you will like to debit. Note that the banks will be listed according to numbering. To select the bank of your choice out of the list, enter the serial number that is for that bank and proceed to this next step. This is especially applicable to the non-browsing phones where the next will be to enter your 4-digit password.

The benefits of Using MTN On Demand
The telecommunication giant has listed out the various benefits its customers can actually derive from using this service. I personally decided to include this section because I believe that some of us must have been asking what customers can gain from using this MTN On Demand. If you're in the category of the individuals that are in search of what customers can actually benefit from the service, listed below are some of them.

With MTN On Demand, you will enjoy benefits such as:
1. Convenience (you can buy at any time, and anywhere)

2. Ease of purchase

3. No need to scratch

4. No network issues

5. Simple and instant (No delays)

6. Multiple purchases (strictly for the MTN number linked to any of your accounts)

Who can enjoy MTN On Demand?
The question now is; are there special categories of persons that are set aside to enjoy this service alone? To answer this question, I say no. The service is for all MTN subscribers. Irrespective of the MTN plan you belong you can always use this service at your convenience. Nevertheless, there are some exceptions.

The reason why I say so is that not every MTN customer has a bank account. To curb this issue, the telecommunication giant has listed the following to be the criteria which customers must satisfy before they can be deemed fit to enjoy the benefits attached to the service:
1. Customers with individual bank accounts who use MTN products and services
2. Customers with bank accounts who buy physical recharge cards and top up their lines manually

List of banks that are currently partnering with MTN On Demand
According to the Mobile Telecommunication Network, MTN official website, mtnonline.com, as at the moment, I was writing this article, they have seven(7) banks on the platform. More banks will be enlisted soon. The names of the banks are as listed below;

1. Zenith Bank

2. Diamond Bank

3. Stanbic Bank

4. FCMB

5. Fidelity Bank

6. First bank

7. Access bank

How to set up an MTN On Demand PIN
Alright, here's a complete guide on how to get started with MTN On Demand. As you all know, you can just dial the USSD code and start getting your account credited with as many airtimes as you want. To get started with this service, there are some few things you need to do before you can start enjoying this service. The basic thing is to setup your account. What simply means is that, when you dialled the code, *904*Amount# a new page will display.

On that page, you'll need to navigate to the option that says; create a pin. Click on the option and create a very simple pin that you'd always need to carry out the transaction whenever you wish to. When you click on the option, you'd be required to enter a 4-digit PIN. When you're done entering it click send and proceed to the next registration stage which is the confirmation stage. At this stage, you'd be required to confirm your PIN. Enter the PIN again and click send. If it is successful, you shall be informed that your registration was successful. With that PIN, you can then start purchasing airtime for yourself or a friend. The how to do that is what we'll be treated in the next stage of this article.

Send Anonymous Messages on Facebook: Here's an article on how to send an anonymous messages on Facebook. Sometimes businesses can use the element of surprise to their advantage.

For example, if there is a popular product reviewer on Facebook and you'd like to know if she would be interested in reviewing your product—but you don't want her to know that you're from the company at first, lest she give a biased review—you can contact her on Facebook anonymously.

However, at the same time, you want to be sure she knows you're professional. Rather than creating a fake Facebook account and writing on their Facebook walls, use any email account to contact Facebook users anonymously.

1. Log in to your Facebook account. Enter the name of Facebook user you want to contact anonymously into the "Search for people, places and things" box. Names will appear in a drop-down menu as you type. Highlight and click on the Facebook user's name to visit her user page.

EELSPACE [https://eelspace.com] is a Nigerian online office space and workshop booking agency located at 33 Ikpa Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. We offer cheap office space and workshop to freelance entrepreneurs who need a workspace where they can book temporarily for few hours, days, weeks and months with guaranteed constant electricity.

We partner with locals (business owners with permanent office or workshops) to provide this service by creating a strategy for which business owners can make extra income by sharing their office space or workshop. It is possible to book for a cheap office space or own a workshop for just a few hours with eelspace.

EELSPACE was launched on 18th January, 2018 to serve as a beacon of hope to Freelance Entrepreneurs in Nigeria as they no longer need to spend excessively on Electricity and Rent Bills. The strategy was formed and implemented so as to create the possibility of acquiring an office space, workspace or workshop for few hours, days, weeks, months and not necessarily renting an office space or workshop for one year to run own business.

The idea behind eelspace office space, workspace, workshop and electricity sharing system was originally intended to help office space, workspace, workshop and business owners in Nigeria reduce the amount of money they spend on electricity and rent bills by sensitizing them on the effect of sharing their office space, workspace, workshop and business space with freelance entrepreneurs in Nigeria who do not have their own workstation.

EELSPACE is an electricity and space sharing community. The space includes but not limited to office space, workspace, workshop, and business space. By sharing one’s office space and workshop with 3 freelance entrepreneurs per day with each of them paying N1, 000 for say 4 - 6hours per day, a total of N3,000 will be made which serves as an extra income which can be used to fuel the generator which provides electricity for the office or workshop and over time will be used to facilitate payment of electricity and rent bills.

Before launching eelspace, a research was carried out on what utilities mostly affect the income growth of most business organisations in Nigeria and why. The research showed that electricity and rent bills greatly influence the profitability and income growth of every business in Nigeria due to lack of constant electricity and cheap office spaces or workshops. 85% of Nigerians lack access to constant electricity supply and this includes office space, workshops and workspace owners.

With eelspace, freelance entrepreneurs can successfully make a good income while freelancing as it is now easy to find and book a cheap office space, workspace and workshop with access to constant power supply. Freelance Inventors, skilful tailors and seamstress, skilful carpenters etc that do not have their own personal workshop with useful equipment can get to book workshops in their field of expertise which will allow them access to an avalanche of equipment, machineries and tools for which the freelance entrepreneur will use and finish a clients job without worries of renting equipment or machineries just by booking to use an allied workshop available in our website www.eelspace.com

From experience, there is a likelihood that the NpowerNg may re-shortlist in its final list of successful applicants all the 2017 applicants that were previously shortlisted. Please bear it at the back of your mind that I am not saying here that the Npowerng must bring out the very same list of all the 2017 successful applicants that were previously pre-selected.

The point is, according to the scheme, a certain number of qualified applicants were required for selection and empowerment. And looking at what was done already, it seems the scheme has already gotten the number of persons that they are actually looking for in the pre-selected list of applicants that underwent the 2017 physical verification exercise.

Also, if you'll agree with me, in 2016 when the NpowerNg originally kick-started the whole thing, all the applicants that were shortlisted initially were the very same people that the NpowerNg officially offered the opportunity to serve or work.

Looking at that, I think the Npower team should also employ the same method that was used in the 2016 selection in their 2017 final selection process. Doing that, will be of immense help to all the 2017 pre-selected applicants as everybody shall be carried along but without losing sight of what the programme is all about.

What is your own opinion?

Should the Npower team re-select all the 2017 applicants that were previously selected in their final list?

Your opinion is very important. Make use of the comment box below. Please state your reason(s) why you wish the NpowerNg should use the 2017 pre-selected list in their final selection stage clearly.

- Facebook said on Friday that there are certain use cases of the social network that can be bad for your health.
- It also found that some use-cases can be positive, specifically social interaction, and said it's going to work to improve those features.

Facebook just admitted on Thursday that using its social network can be bad for you in some instances. Facebook's director of research David Ginsberg and research scientist Moira Burke published a post in which they addressed questions about the impact Facebook has on our moods and revealed some compelling information.

"University of Michigan students randomly assigned to read Facebook for 10 minutes were in a worse mood at the end of the day than students assigned to post or talk to friends on Facebook," the blog post said.

"A study from UC San Diego and Yale found that people who clicked on about four times as many links as the average person, or who liked twice as many posts, reported worse mental health than average in a survey."

In other words, if you're using Facebook to mindlessly browse through your feed or click posts, you may end up in a foul mood after.
