That’s nice. Sometimes we find it hard to pay out Nepa bill plus the distance. Good to know we can now pay our bills with ease using the mobile app.

I am an Arsenal fan and it wasn’t nice watching Manchester City beat us. My friend had to even use the ikeja electric mobile app to pay for electricity bills today as the shop owner had not yet come. It was a quick transaction using the mobile app and he enjoyed his team beating Arsenal. Hopefully Gunners wakes up.
For those asking for the link to download the app, this is the link: https://www.ikejaelectric.com/mobile-app/?utm_source=Nairaland&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=Power_In_Your_Hands

The app is a waste of time. The bus attendance wont even allow you to scan, they keep telling you to go and load your card and scan in the normal way. I have tried using the app severally and the bus driver wont allow you the patience to carry put the scan because of the queue

Yeah I understand what you are saying because I also had issues. Which is why if you check the website you would see it as part of the limitations or problems faced and why they should improve on it.
I was also rushed to scan and it didn’t work so I used the manual process and put the code before going to the self validator machine to scan.
I still have about 900 naira on my app and might transfer it to the card when I get to oshodi bus terminal because I can’t keep facing that issue.

The only advantage of the app is Incase you card is stolen or misplaced. The money on the app remains no matter how much but if it is the physical and it is stolen then someone else can use it without even real time notification about the fraudulent activities.

Hopefully they improve on the app. Thanks

The premium smartphone

Tecno is the best

I currently use a tecno device and it has been worth it. If I actually had enough I would buy the phantom X. A friend of mine uses it and it is a fantastic device.

It was a Saturday night like no other during the last BBNaija night party. The theme for the night was ‘Ciroc Carribean party’, so as expected the housemates dressed in the Caribbean way.

For the third Saturday Night Party, which took place on August 14, 2021, interesting activities went down in the house. The a my main event kicked off by 10pm ,with performances from DJ Xclusive. Housemates showed their dancing skills all through the night as DJ Xclusive kept thrilling the atmosphere with the hottest music full of fun, merry, dancing skills, and dramatic events.

There is nothing as good as a weekend night party, a time to relax and have fun for a few hours after a stressful week.

Tecno, one of the sponsors of the reality TV show, BBNaija decided to allow fans to have some fun with one of their latest smartphones launched earlier this year. What’s a BBNaija Saturday Night Party without the memories captured by the Tecno Camon 17? Last night’s party was a VIBE! The housemates had their pictures taken with the Tecno Camon 17 smartphone during last week’s party.

One of the major highlight was the Camon 17 device equipped with exceptional camera features was used to take clear and sharp pictures of the housemates rocking their caribbean outfits. We all want to have fantastic memories during a night party when we get emotional, rocking the dance moves, or otherwise. Tecno understands this which is why even at night with the Camon 17 you can take sharp and clear pictures or record videos with good quality. Since the inception of Big Brother Naija, the Saturday Night parties have brought some of the most talked-about moments, thanks to Tecno.

Here are some stunning photos taken by the 48 + 8MP Tecno Camon 17 at the third Saturday Night party in the ongoing Big Brother Naija 2021 Shin Ya Eye.

The device captured every color distinctly and highlighted the magnificence of the housemate’s location. All these pictures were taken with the Tecno Camon 17. Just looking at pictures from the ciroc Caribbean bbnaija party and I am so in love with the device.

Cant wait to see housemates vibe to different hit jam and take pictures with their Tecno device in the next BBNaija night party.

Anticipate guys, it is going to be an experience you will never forget.

[quote author=candyguyofficia post=104758275][/quote]yeah it does

Wow nice one from Tecno. This will expose the finalist to a great experience. I wish them the best.

This is a good offer from Tecno

Awesome device

Great offer from Tecno

It would seem that the novelty of the house and the show is starting to wear off the housemates as they are finally letting down their guards. This was even more evident at the Saturday night party. All 22 of them showed us how to let go and boogie down.
I couldn’t help it; I joined in on all that unadulterated fun from the middle of my humble abode. It was crazy!

The fun at the party wasn’t the only thing that made the night an absolute boom. The housemates came into the party room slaying! Every single one of them. So, not only did they party hard, they also looked smashing doing it.
Imagine then, that all that glam and excitement and fun happened without being locked down into lifelong memories? That will be hands down criminal, right? I agree. Thankfully, nothing criminal happened that night.

TECNO’s Phantom X and Camon 17 Pro came through! All of the glam activities and memories of the night got captured by these phones. And, they did an amazing job.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see what the next Saturday night party brings!
