As\nWinners Win Exciting Prizes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nancient city of Ibadan was lit with ecstasy last Wednesday, as hundreds of\nwinners who emerged in the reward promo of telecommunications company,\nGlobacom, received their prizes in the presence of a tumultuous crowd at the\npopular Bodija Market in the heart of the capital city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Oyo State Commissioner for Environment,\nHonourable Kehinde Ayoola, as well as the Iyalode of Ibadanland, Chief Mrs\nTheresa Oyekanmi, graced the event. Others who witnessed the event were the\nChairman, Bodija Market Traders Association, Alhaji Lamidi Musedeeq, while\nNollywood actors Yemi Solade and Odunlade Adekola were also in attendance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winners\nas well as their relatives, some of whom had expressed disbelief when they were\ninformed about their winnings, were delighted when they realised that the\ninformation was not a sham after all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief\nAbiola Egbelade, an Isese leader of Ibadan origin who won a Keke tricycle, said\nhe was surprised when he received a call from 121 informing him of his good\nfortune. \u201cI was surprised when I got the call\u201d, he added saying, \u201cI will not\nuse the tricycle for commercial purpose. I will cruise it round the city so\nthat everyone will see what Globacom has done.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ojedele\nSolomon, a corps member serving in Oyo State said he did not believe he won a\ngenerating set until persistent calls came from Globacom. The Education and\nPolitical Science graduate of Osun State University said he would use the power\ngenerator for his pleasure to mitigate the poor supply of electricity in the\ncountry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For\none of the tricycle winners, Adeleye Adeyemi, a Police officer serving in\nIbadan, getting a call informing him\nthat he won a tricycle was received with mixed feelings. He said though he knew\nthat Globacom had done such feats before, he reluctantly gave his details to\nthe customer care staff who called him. He said he will use the tricycle to augment his\nfamily\u2019s income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\ncommissioner, Honourable Kehinde Ayoola, commended Globacom for the empowerment\nprogramme which he noted complements what government is doing. \u201dThis largesse from Globacom shows that the company appreciates the fact that\npeople are using the network and you are giving back to the society. It is a\ngood thing\u201d, he said, while urging Nigerians to patronise Globacom to enable\nthe company to do more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nprize presentation also featured the \ndraw for next set of winners. 130 prizes including generators, grinding\nmachines, sewing machines and tricycles were won by subscribers who will be\nreceiving their prizes at the next event which is scheduled for Kano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
WINNERS\nCOMMENTS EGBELADE ABIOLA : Keke Winner \u201c It was just like a dream, I could not\nbelieve it when I was invited for verification, God bless Glo\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\ndid not believe it when I got a call from 121, because most times calls do come\nfrom fake promo agents calling to tell you to pay money to claim prizes in\nnon-existing promos. However, after the number called me a couple of times, I\ndecided to pick the call. A lady from Glo in Lagos asked for my name, but I\nasked her if she wanted to register me again and she said it wasn\u2019t for registration. She then informed me that I\nwon a tricycle in the on-going Glo promo, \u2018My Own Don Beta\u2019. It was just like a\ndream. I doubted it initially, but when I got to Glo office in Ibadan, it was\nconfirmed and my details were recorded. I will use the tricycle personally. It\nwill serve as remembrance of the day Glo honoured me. God bless Globacom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
