Many small businesses and even homes incur 2 bills that are not essential needs in the real sense of it but many people feel they cannot do without them -Internet and satellite television subscription. Would it not be nice to have one solution that provides you with both at a cheap rate? This is exactly what the newly-launched TSTV is bringing. You can depending on how heavily you use data for example, subscribe to Internet and satellite TV for N3,000 per month or even less if you are a light user.

TSTV explains it thus: “We will pioneer the introduction of Smart set top boxes in Nigeria DTH industry.” it set-up box as the following features: “HD SMART Set Top Box (Connected Set top box) converts your existing LED TV into a Smart TV besides showin...

Here are first hand info on the 6 things to know about TSTV that is lauching today 1.

Twins, the birth of two offspring from the same pregnancy, is a relatively uncommon phenomenon, and as such, twins are often regarded as special. Worldwide, the birth rate of twins varies by region and country. Latin America and Southeast Asia have the lowest rates, with only about 9 sets of twins per every 1,000 births.

And in central Africa, that number raises to around 18 to 30 sets of twins for every 1,000 births.

And in Yorubaland, one town in particular appears to take the prize for the highest number of multiple births in the world. Igbo Ora, a sleepy agrarian town 80 kilometers from Lagos, is easily the twin capital of the world: unconfirmed estimates from the town say it boasts a mi...
