PalmPay Entices Users with iPhone 15, Phantom X2 in Savings Challenge
Fintech company, PalmPay is rewarding its users for their saving habits in a new savings promotion geared towards driving financial literacy. The savings challenge will run from November 28 to December 7, 2023, and users have the chance to win one of five iPhone 15, five TECNO Phantom X2 smartphones and participate in winning part of N10 billion in Trial Cash.
“Users will earn a daily interest rate of 16 percent per annum from the Trial Cash and have the earned interest credited to their savings account as spendable money every day,” Kevin Olumese, Senior Marketing Manager, PalmPay, said.
“Of course, we understand that it’s easier to spend than to save money. However, what if you were told you could delay that gratification to buy a new smartphone and in 10 days become the owner of a brand new iPhone 15 or Phantom X2?
“The PalmPay Savings Challenge is to encourage users to delay that gratification to spend and instead save while also being rewarded,” Olumese added.
During the campaign period, users stand a chance to win if they join at least one round of challenge, verify their BVN on the PalmPay app, share the campaign with at least one friend, and keep their CashBox balance above N1,000.
Joining more rounds of challenge will increase users’ chances of winning in the savings promotion. In the final round of the challenge, lucky users with the highest trial cash will be drawn to win an iPhone 15 or Phantom X2.
What is Trial Cash?
Trial Cash is a distinctive reward designed to let you explore the benefits of the PalmPay App’s flexible savings feature. This is not real money, however, you get the spendable daily interest of 16 percent per annum for the Trial Cash.
Users can earn Trial Cash by completing daily tasks on the PalmPay App within the period of the savings challenge, such as transferring to a PalmPay account or adding money to their PalmPay account from their bank account or agent.
In both instances, you get up to N50,000 Trial Cash on your first three transfers above N1,000 or when you add money to your PalmPay wallet from your bank or agent. The higher the single transaction amount, the higher your Trial Cash reward.
You get N1,000 Trial Cash daily when you top up your airtime or buy a data bundle above N500, and N2,000 Trial Cash when you fund your betting wallet with above N2,000. Also, you are rewarded with N100 Trial Cash daily by simply visiting the PalmPay homepage at least once a day to complete your log-in task.
If you’re not a PalmPay user, start your savings challenge at http://bit.ly/3QVhCN1 or by downloading the PalmPay App via https://bit.ly/4805x0k

Legit.ng, Shade of Life Foundation Partner to Advance Autism Awareness in Nigeria
Legit.ng recently joined forces with the Shade of Life Foundation to become a voice of autism, and drive advocacy for improved media support during Autism Awareness Month.
Conversations around media support exploration was led by Joseph Omotayo, head of Department for Human Interest Stories at Legit.ng, and Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, founder and CEO of the Shade of Life Foundation,
This partnership is a response to the concerns raised by organizations like the Shade of Life Foundation about the level of support received from the media in discussing autism as a disability.
While other disabilities may receive attention, autism, with its critical developmental implications often lacks adequate representation in mainstream media.
Recognizing the importance of addressing these concerns, Legit.ng took proactive steps by integrating itself into the essence of autism awareness.
It facilitated a one-hour workshop with Dr. Nwokolo, the founder of the foundation, to deepen our understanding of autism, its various spectrums, and the language boundaries associated with it.
Other steps we took in advocating autism awareness in the media, can be seen in our attached press release.
Legit.ng believes that by amplifying the voices of autism and advocating for better media representation, we can contribute to creating a more inclusive and accepting society for all.

As Nigeria Struggle, Tanzania Turns off Power Plants Due to Excess Supply
While 85 per cent of Nigeria is in darkness, Tanzania, an African country has shut down five hydroelectric stations in a bid to reduce excess electricity in the national grid.
Kassim Majaliwa, prime minister, Tanzania, has said the main plant, Mwalimu Nyerere Hydroelectric Station, alone generated enough electricity to power major cities, including Dar es Salaam, the country’s commercial hub.
It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations due to excess production.
“We have turned off all these stations because the demand is low and the electricity production is too much, we have no allocation now,” an official from state-run power company, Tanesco, said.
The 2,115MW Julius Nyerere Hydropower Dam is said to be almost filled with water following heavy rains that started early this year.
Meanwhile, while the country has an installed capacity of 1,938MW and the grid installed capacity of 1,899MW, Nigeria which has an installed capacity of 13,000MW is struggling to electrify 85 per cent of its electricity consumers.
