    How To Transfer Vodafone Credit To Another Vodafone Number In Ghana

    We all have that special person we love and would mostly do anything for them, including trying to get them airtime at midnight.

    We talk to them almost daily and because of that, we are always ready to do anything that they may want for them.

    There could be times that they call us on the phone and we end up talking about the house. After talking for hours, the person finally tells you that he or she has run out of airtime so even though you want to continue the call.

    The only way will be to replenish the airtime account of the person so that they can call you for the call to continue

    However, there is no way to get airtime for someone unless you are going outside and it is not likely to meet the airtime vendors at such an hour.

    But there is still one way through which you can send airtime to someone if you are on the Vodafone network.

    You can send the airtime to anyone you want from your smartphone. The only catch is that the person must also be on the Vodafone network for this hack to work.

    You can transfer some of your airtime or data to the person if you find yourself having more than you can use.

    In this article, we will be showing you how to share some of your airtime or data with a friend who is also on the Vodafone network.

    How To Transfer Vodafone Credit To Another Vodafone Number

    To be able to send credit to another Vodafone user, you will have to use the shortcut responsible for that action.

    And the shortcut for performing that action is *516*. So to transfer airtime to the person, you will have to dial *516* followed by the number of the person you are sending the airtime to, followed by the amount of airtime you want to send, which will be followed by your password.

    So your dialer will be looking something like this: *516*recipient number*amount of airtime*password#.

    Let me give you a clear example right here. In case I want to send 30 cedis airtime to Delilah, this is how I will be dialing in my dialer.

    *516*0203652894*30*2222#

    This method is for when you want to send airtime to someone in cedis value

    Always remember that Vodafone charges 0.05 for this service so you must make sure that you have enough airtime for such transaction whenever you carry one out. 

    Now if you want to send airtime to another Vodafone user in the pesewas value. It is a bit similar to above one shown above.

    Please follow the following steps if you want to send airtime to another Vodafone user. Dial *516*number of recipients* amount of the airtime in pesewas*password#.

    So for example, he will be my dialer for sending airtime in pesewas to another person on the Vodafone network. *516*0203652894*0*60*1443#.

    How To Transfer Vodafone Data To Another Vodafone Number

    You can also transfer data to a friend who is also on the Vodafone network. To do so, please follow the steps listed below.

    1. Dial *700#
    2. Dial-in 4
    3. Select the kind of data that you want to send to that person
    4. Choose the payment mode. You can use either your airtime to pay or you can pay from your Vodafone cash account.
    5. Enter the number of the person you are sending the data to.
    6. Now type in your PIN code to confirm the transaction. You should always remember that your PIN will be 1234 if you have never tempered with it too.
    7. Now press ‘1’ to the airtime purchase.

    Through the steps listed above, you will be able to share airtime as well as the internet with people you want without much hassle.

    We also showed you how to be able to send credit and data to people through the steps we have shown above.

  • Applying For A Driver’s License In Ghana: Everything You Need To Know

    Applying For A Driver’s License In Ghana: Everything You Need To Know

    Just like every country in the world that you visit, you must have a driver’s license before you can drive in Ghana.

    We will be looking at how one can acquire a driving permit from the relevant authority in Ghana.

    If it is your first time applying for a driving permit, you will need to visit the office of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority.

    Below Are The Steps To Get Your Driving Permit For The First Time.

    Visit the office of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority

    You will then need to make some payments to obtain the forms needed for the application. The fees for the forms are as follows;

    • GHC 2.50 for form F
    • GHC 12.50 for form F1
    • GHC 5.00 for an eye test

    After acquiring the forms, you will then have to fill out form F and form F1 thoroughly and then submit them. You will also need to attach some documents to the forms before you submit them back to the DVLA. The documents needed along with the forms are;

    The national identification card will give proof that you are of legal age which should be 18 years or above.

    An education certificate will also be required such as BECE or an adult education certificate.

    You will then be provided with the code and syllabus for the highway for learning and study.

    You will now have to undergo an eye test and a physical test after you finish filling and submitting the forms which will be conducted by the DVLA for you.

    After passing the eye test and the physical test, you will make some payments after which the authority will issue you with a driver’s permit, L-plate for a car, syllabus as well as the highway code. The things issued to the driver normally are;

    • A learner’s license
    • Highway code
    • A learner’s license booklet
    • A learner’s L-plate

    Acquiring A GhanaianDriving License Fees

    There will be fees to be paid before one will be issued with all these things. The fees for the respective items are as follows;

    • Learner’s plate- GHC23.00
    • Syllabus for the learner- GHC5.00
    • Highway code- GHC5.00
    • Learner’s license booklet- GHC2.50

    After all these, the applicant will now be required to enroll in a two-day course with a driving school that has been accredited by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority.

    People who have an expired driver’s license will rather undergo a written exam in which they should be able to score 70% or above to be able to pass.

    You will then have to revisit the DVLA to undertake a written test which will cost you another GHC 5.00.

    The authority will also take your biometric information during this test, another GHC 4.00 will have to be paid again.   

    You will then undertake another computer-based test. After this, the applicant will be required to take another test which will be traffic-based.

    This will be used to explain various road signs and others to the applicant and will cost the applicant another GHC 4.00.

    After passing this test, the applicant will undergo one last test before completion with an instructor from the DVLA. Passing this test without any errors will grant the applicant a cover note.  

    After the applicant has completed all the various tests, he will now pay for a temporary driver’s license that will be issued to him.

    He will then return to the DVLA. The DVLA will then take the information needed for making your driver’s license and the applicant will have to pay GHC 5.00 for a temporal license photo and another GHC 5.00 for a temporal license.

     The applicant will then return later with the cover note that was given to him. He will then exchange that for his driving license and will be issued a P-plate as well.

    Registering Your Drivers License Online

    To apply for a driver’s license online, please follow the below steps.

    1. You will create an account with the DVLA by visiting their internet site.
    2. You will then register by filling in some forms with the relevant information needed such as full name, nationality, ID number, gender, and place of birth.
    3. You will then fill in your contact details and then verify the account you just created through your email address.
    4. After verifying the account, you will then log back into the online portal to send your application.
    5. You will click on the ‘apply for driver service’ and then choose ‘’new driver license’
    6. You will then fill in the permit information such as the license class A, B,E, AB,AE,BE,ABE.
    7.  You will then have to make payment through an online platform with a credit card for the license class that you will choose. The license class and their fees are shown below.
    • A-  GHC 190
    • B- GHC 160
    • E- GHC 134
    • AB- GHC 210
    • AE- GHC 190
    • ABE- GHC 210

    The applicant will then visit the DVLA offices after applying online to continue with the physical aspects of the application. The applicant will then go through all the tests as an applicant who applied directly at the DVLA office from the beginning. 

    So these are the ways through which people can apply for their driver’s license in Ghana and the fees involved.

    Please note that the fees could be slightly higher or lower when one goes to the DVLA office since increments can take place at any time.

    We hope this article was very helpful to anyone that has been looking at how he or she could apply for a license before actually going ahead with it.

  • Technology and Robots In Today’s World

    Technology and Robots In Today’s World

    The technological advancements of the last decade can be seen today in almost every corner of the world. Technology is being used to run over 80% of businesses worldwide.

    We have seen a dramatic improvement in the delivery of healthcare such as the ability of emergency workers to respond to an emergency quickly and accurately with help of technological tools.

    Technology has also changed the face of education and how schools are conducted. Students can now learn much better through educational materials on the internet. Students in different countries can also enroll in universities in other countries by taking online courses that are offered by that university.

    Technology has also changed the mode of sports. It has made sports more entertaining and appealing to the fan who watch them on their TVs. Agriculture has also seen its fair share of the technological overhaul.

    Machines used for farming have now made it possible for farmers to take better care of their farms and produce a bigger yield.

    And through technology, we now have robots that are used to perform a whole lot of tasks. The field of robotics is very sophisticated as a lot of technicians are needed to design, program, and maintain the robots and their systems.

    Five areas of robotics are concerned with how robots are made and maintained. These areas are; operator interface, mobility and locomotion, manipulations and effectors, programming, and sensing and perception.

    The production of robots in today’s world is an easy feat. We will now take a look at each of the areas listed above one by one.

    Operator Interface

    A robot is good when it can effectively communicate with its human controller. The operator interface is also known as the human-robot interface. This is the medium through which the user can communicate with the robot.

    The human controller uses this medium as a way through which he or she can feed programs to the robot for it to execute. One example of a basic human-robot interface is the controller of a video game console.

    The controller allows the human player to send commands to the video game console, which is the robot in this instance. The commands sent by the human interface with the controller are then executed inside the video game.

    There is a lot of care taken when designing and making human-robot interfaces. The human-robot interface must be intuitive and be able to help operators communicate with the robot efficiently so that tasks can be executed accurately.

    Mobility And Locomotion

    A robot must be able to move around in its surroundings before it will be able to perform its tasks. This feat can be achieved in several ways. Some robots can mimic the movements of their human controllers.

    These are normally robots that are used on assembly lines in factories and workplaces. Some of these robots are designed with the human anatomy as a basis. Robots that fly as well as drones all make use of propellers as their form of movement.

    Other robots make use of the wheel for their movements. These are normally robots that are sent to space and used on mars. Robots’ mode of movement is normally determined by their engineers and designers.

    Manipulators And Effectors

    A robot must also be able to interact with its environment for it to be worthwhile. Manipulators and effectors are the parts of the robot that are used in picking up objects and other things as it was designed to do.

    Some human-like robots make use of appendages that work like the human arm so that they can complete tasks that they are designed for.

    Programming

    This is the computer language that a controller uses to control the robot. The actions that the robots portray are actions that have been programmed with a computer before being fed into the robot for it to act. Robots today can adapt to changes in their environment due to the use of advanced programming.

    Sensing And Perception

    Robots today make use of sensors to gather information about their environment. The information gathered by the robot allows it to know its immediate surroundings such as where it is, the way it has to go, and anything that may be blocking its path.

    These sensors also help the robot with how it has to react if it meets any obstacle in its path. Due to this, the right sensors must be used for each robot depending on the job that it has been created for.   

    Conclusion

    This was a brief article about robots in our world today and how they are made. Technology has made it possible to have robots that are used to complete tasks that would have been too hard for human beings to undertake.

    As time goes on, there will be robots that may be able to behave and talk exactly like humans do.

  • How To Find A Specific Video On Facebook

    How To Find A Specific Video On Facebook

    Thinking of how to find a video on Facebook without any hassle? then this article is definitely for. Facebook is a social media site where people can meet each other and be friends. Apart from people meeting to socialize on the site.

    They can also view photos of their friends and watch their videos posted on the site.

    Not only pictures and videos of friends, people can follow the pages of their favorite athletes and business, as well, and also watch the photos and videos that they post.

    You could again come across a promotional video posted by business pages that you are not following.

    However, videos on Facebook are disorganized because the site was made for sharing photos but not videos.

    If you are possibly looking for a video you once watched but cannot remember the name, there are several ways through which you will be able to search for the particular video.

    Ways To Easily Find Videos On Facebook

    There are many ways to do this, some of them are:

    Using The Facebook Search Bar

    One of the easiest ways will be to type the name of the video in the Facebook search bar.

    This is when you can remember some part of the name of the video you are looking for.

    All you have to do is to type the part of the video name that you remember. And then select the ’videos’ tab so that Facebook will display only videos to you.

    You then scroll through and see if the video you are looking for will show up. This also works pretty well if you are looking for some videos to watch.

    For example, if you want to manage real estate videos, you type real estate in the search bar and browse through the results and watch the one that catches your attention.

    Searching For The Videos Through Search Engines

    One other way you can use to find Facebook videos is by the use of a search engine. This is because search engines index the content of Facebook videos.

    You can even use your favorite to locate the video that you are looking for. You can use ‘subject video: Facebook,’ which will then search for any recent videos.

    Or you can use ‘subject video facebook,’ which then widens the search area much more significantly.

    You will have to change the subject for each particular thing that you are searching for.

    Both ways of searching for the video will get you the video you are looking for.

    It has become somehow difficult to be able to see the kind of Facebook live videos that have been uploaded in your vicinity.

    It was always cool to what kind of live videos that people had been uploading. You can still see some of these videos if you use the ‘#live’ search in the Facebook search bar.

    You can search for videos that have been uploaded by some specific people or some company or a brand.

    All you have to do will be to go to the person or company who made the post and then click on the video tab there.

    How To Borrow Airtime From All The Network Providers In Ghana

    In the past, it could be very bad to run out of mobile airtime, especially in places where sellers of airtime stopped early and calls had to be made late at night.

    When you were in a newly built area, these sellers often stopped early because not many people were out and about at night, which made it hard to get more airtime.

    People sometimes had to put off important phone calls until the next morning because of this, which meant they missed out on contract chances and other problems.

    During the day, all you had to do was find the closest person selling credit and buy what you needed to keep talking on the phone.

    It was a different set of problems when this problem came up on a long trip, though.

    To fix this problem, the country’s phone companies came up with a service that let people take airtime when they ran out, as long as they agreed to pay it back when they topped up their accounts.

    Although this service was helpful for customers, it also gave cell phone networks a chance to make money.

    Customers had to pay back a little more than the amount they borrowed when they took airtime or data bundles.

    This extra amount, which was usually about 10% of the loan amount, was added to the customer’s bill. One of the best things about this service was that there was no set due date for paying back the loan.

    Customers could add money to their accounts whenever they wanted and pay back the money they loaned over time.

    Below are some of the ways through which you can get your videos seen on YouTube easily.

    Do Good Keyword Research

    One of the greatest things that determine if your video will be seen easily is the keywords that you use for your video.

    Most people always search for a video by searching with a specific keyword and then looking through the available result to see what they like.

    You need to select keywords that related very well to the content of your video as well as the category in which your video falls.

    Your video will just get lost among the vast number of videos on the site if you do not choose good keywords.

    This will cause people who may have liked your video to miss the chance to see it. Before you post your video, you should do some research about the keywords used concerning your kind of video before you name the video for posting.

    Make use Of Video Tags

    Tags are also one of the most important items that can guarantee that your video will be seen by its targeted audience.

    A lot of people either put a few tags or skip it altogether when they post a video and then they wonder why the views on their videos are small.

    When you fill the tags on your video with keywords that are very well related to your video and its category, it appears much faster to people when they use that keyword to search for what they are looking for.

    The tags help people who are searching for a specific video see your videos when they search. Always make sure to add some tags that give an idea of what your video is actually about.

    Include Transcript In Your Videos

    It is also highly advisable to post the transcript of your video in the description of the video to improve its chances of being seen by the search engine.

    Posting the transcript in the description is sure to get you an advantage over other people since most people always overlook this particular part.

    Use Catchy Titles

    You must include one or two of the most important keywords of the video in the title before you upload it.

    You should think of using titles that are easily searchable by people. It is not advisable to try to use clickbait as this will ward people off your subsequent videos since they will perceive those to be clickbait as well.

    The clickbait normally works for well-known channels, not the unknown content creator who is now trying to gather an audience.    

    Use Catchy Video Thumbnails

    Custom video thumbnails are also a very great way of getting your video seen by people.

    A good video thumbnail will certainly draw in people once they come across your video after searching.

    Make sure to use specific photos for the thumbnails. You then need to make the images you have chosen for the thumbnail look great and clean with text and graphics with an application like Photoshop or Canva.

    These thumbnails can even be indexed in the Google search engine. In this way, you will be seen when people search on Google aside from the YouTube search bringing you up.

    You should look at which thumbnails stand out by searching the keyword of your video on YouTube and then looking at the thumbnails that show up.

    Your thumbnail should let viewers know right away that it is you when they see the thumbnail, and it should also be strong enough so that it does not fade into the background.
