Startimes conducts week 4 draws in Uyo BY GODWIN SAM

Startimes conducts week 4 draws in Uyo BY GODWIN SAM


Startimes Uyo office conducted the week 4 draws to give more of their customers a chance to win in their ongoing 3rd Anniversary Promo that is currently taking place in sixteen states of Nigeria plus Abuja. The draw which was conducted at the company’s headquarters along IBB Way, opposite the Ibom e-library on Thursday 15th August, 2013, saw two new winners emerging, bringing the number of winners now to eight.


Taking the participants through the drills of the draws, the systems manager of Startimes Uyo office, Mr. Collins Ibor, showed the participants that every subscriber who either bought the decoder or has recharged their own within the week with up to N3, 000 stood a chance of being selected. The smartcard numbers of all the qualified subscribers were uploaded into a blank computer page, these numbers were randomized and a lucky number was randomly selected which made the owner of the number an automatic winner of either an L.C.D. 24 inches StarTimes television or a CRT 21 inches StarTimes television.

High point of the event was the presentation of the 1st prize of an L.C.D. 24inches StarTimes television by the managing director of StarTimes Uyo office, Mr. Matthew Ojemaye, to Mr. Golomone Ulysses, a youth corps member from Bayelsa State who won the draws last week. The second prize winner of last week, Mr. Ukeme was unavoidably absent but he sent words that he would like to come and get his gift himself as this was a unique opportunity in one’s life as one does not win a prize every day.

In the new draws, Mr. Israel Udofia of Itu Local Government Area emerged the first prize winner of an L.C.D. StarTimes television. He was picked by Mr. Golomone Ulysses. The second prize winner was picked by the serving beauty queen of University of Uyo, Miss Ekemini Idiong. Mr. Michael Etim of Idoro Street in Uyo emerged the second prize winner of a C.R.T. StarTimes television.

Mr. Golomone Ulysses, after receiving his prize expressed his joy for what StarTimes is doing by giving back to the society. “I was very surprised when I received a call from StarTimes that I have won in the promo, this is because I just bought the decoder the day before so I thought it was a joke or a scam, that someone was trying to dupe me. But when they called a second time, my fellow youth corps members told me I should come and see if it is true and today I have received the television. I say thank you to StarTimes for what you have done and I call on those yet to buy StarTimes to buy and enjoy this digital life as they too can stand a chance of winning like me”, he said.

The managing director of StarTimes Uyo Office Mr. matthew Ojemaye in a vote of thanks thanked all the participants for finding time to come out and witness the draws and urged them to continue to patronize StarTimes as there are still four weeks to go in the promo draws. He also added that “StarTimes is like Globacom, we make our services to cut across board so that anybody can afford access to our products and services.

 By products I mean our decoders and television which has in-built decoders inside. Though the in-built decoders cannot be used now because the services are not yet activated in Uyo but very son it will be activated alongside our mobile services and G.P.S. services where one can use their mobile phone and car monitors to access our services. These services are currently being enjoyed in Lagos and Abuja.”

Meanwhile, StarTimes won the 2012 Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Award as the best pay digital channel provider in Nigeria which proved its excellence and originality in the pay TV industry in Nigeria.
