STARTIMES holds week 6 draws in Uyo: As a triple lucky winner wins again

The draw for week 6 of the ongoing 3rd anniversary promo of StarTimes Nigeria was held at the company’s headquarters office along IBB Avenue, opposite the Ibom e-library in Uyo on Thursday 29th August, 2013.

The draw is part of the 3rd Anniversary that StarTimes is currently organizing nationwide to give back to its teeming subscribers and tell them “thank you for patronizing StarTimes” according to the managing director of the company in Uyo, Mr. Matthew Ojemaye.

Conducting the draws, Mr. Collins Ibor, the systems engineer of the company in Uyo reminded the participants that to qualify for the draws one has to buy a decoder of N4, 900 and enjoy two months free subscription of their basic bouquet or a decoder of N5, 900 and enjoy two months free subscription of their unique bouquet while existing subscribers have to recharge their decoders for at least N3, 000 to qualify. He also stated that all these also qualify the person for the N1million draw.

High point of the event was the presentation of prizes to last week winners where a 3-time lucky winner Mr. Obasi Loius Obinaju collected the 2nd prize of a C.R.T. 21 inches StarTimes television while Mr. Samuel Udo Nnah collected the 1st prize of an L.C.D. 24 inches StarTimes television. The prizes were presented to the winners by the M.D. of the company, Mr. Matthew Ojemaye.

The first prize winner of last week’s draws Mr. Samuel Udo Nnah randomly picked the first prize winner of this week’s draw who incidentally was the first winner since the promo began to be present during the draws as a participant and also coincidentally bears almost the same name as the person who picked him. His name is Mr. Samuel Jacob Udo while the person who picked him is Mr. Samuel Udo Nnah.

The second prize winner was picked by Mr. Obasi Louis Obinaju who also was the 2nd prize winner of last week’s draw and a-3-time lucky winner of the promo. The second prize winner for this week was Mr. Patrick Morgan of Aka Itiam Street in Uyo. He bought the decoder two days before the promo draws were held, according to him in a telephone conversation with this reporter.

Expressing his feelings after receiving his L.C.D. 24 inches StarTimes television, Mr. Samuel Udo Nnah said “I am so excited and speechless for what StarTimes has done. When I was called last week that I have won I did not believe it but today I have seen that it is real. StarTimes is doing something great, they are a great company. I encourage those who do not have StarTimes to link into StarTimes as they have a lot of channels for their viewers to enjoy. It is also cheaper than other pay TV channels. I say a very big thank you to StarTimes, I wish people can see that my heart is “red” and henceforth I have become a StarTimes evangelist. I will carry the StarTimes message anywhere I go”.

Also, Mr. Obasi Louis Obinaju said “this is the second time I win a 2nd prize I always win the first prize. I won a first time scholarship from my local government as a student and I also won a Kia car from Crunchies when they did their first promo. I have always been a winner and I know I’ll be among the N1million winners. StarTimes has done well and I want to see them grow better than this. Their signals are clear, it is simple to install you don’t need to climb the roof, and when you have StarTimes people don’t know that you are rich because when they see dish outside they know that something is happening there. I say kudos to StarTimes, they are a blessing to our generation. My friend said he is a StarTimes evangelist but I say that I am now a StarTimes bishop”.

In a chat with newsmen after the occasion, the managing director of the company in Uyo, Mr. Matthew Ojemaye intimated them that StarTimes will start operation in 16 state before the next two months in addition to the 16 states the currently cover, hoping that before the end of the first quarter of next year the four remaining states will be covered, to make them really nationwhide service provider. He called on those who have not yet subscribed to StarTimes to do so as their products and services are cheap, affordable and easy to maintain.
