A 58-year-old Rafiu Ajao has won N1 million in the ongoing Glo N120m Overload Promo even as he was overwhelmed by tears of joy after collecting the cheque. The elated Ajao could not hold his joy as he screamed, tears running down his cheeks: “Globacom has changed my life. Glo is the king of telecommunications in Nigeria.
I will spend the one million naira to bring my dream of building a house to reality.” Before other winners, Globacom officials, Glo ambassadors and the media, Ajao, garbed in a white longsleeve shirt atop a brown trouser, rolled his six feet frame on the floor, thanking the national telecoms operator for making more Nigerians millionaire. He did not stop at this drama.
He went on further to smash the SIM card of another network provider, declaring that for him, “it is only Glo network from now on.” Ajao is among the 20 lucky subscribers, who won one million naira each in the ongoing N120m Glo Overload promotion in the first phase of the cheque presentation ceremony held at the Mike Adenuga Towers, in Lagos on Wednesday.
Among the winners of this first batch of the promo are Mustapha Adebayo, Oluwatosin Alade, Kafayat Odusile, Abimbola Oderemi, Adeshina Adebisi, Bamidele Toyin, and Obembe Olasope.
Others are Opeyemi Orelaja, Olatunbosun Osungboye, Toyin Adeshina and Oyinlola Alaka. Also present to collect their cheques were Aiyejimi Rukayat, Gbemisola Ero, Rashidat Sosanya and Prince Eguche Anthony. Two of the winners could not be present to collect their cheques. Globacom said that the remaining 100 winners will be presented with their cheques at events scheduled to hold at some major cities across the country within the next few weeks.
Egbuche Anthony, another winner, said “from today I am a Glo ambassador. I have asked all my family members, extended and nuclear, to join the Glo network and I am buying 25 SIM packs immediately to make this happen.” Presenting the cash prize of N1 million to each of the winners who emerged in the first phase of the promo, in the presence of other officials, Globacom’s Sales Director, Mr. Kenneth Hall said, “Globacom is all about sharing happiness, exciting and empowering our people,” adding that the presentation is part of the several ways the company has empowered its subscribers.
