It was excitement all the way for nine lucky Glo subscribers who have registered their SIM cards on the Glo network as they received cheques of N1 million each on Wednesday in Abuja after emerging winners in the ongoing Glo N1 Billion SIM registration promo. The winners are Yelenbini Sabastine, a secondary school student from Abuja, FCT, Omolere Adejoke, a student at the Nigerian College of Aviation, Zaria, Aisha Ibrahim, a student from Kaduna state, Charles Okoro, a furniture maker from Lagos and Abdul Yusuf, a timber contractor from Kogi state. Others are, Justina Salisu, a petty trader from Dopemu, Lagos state, Mohammed Hassan Musa, a dealer in tractor parts in Gurara, Niger state, Abdullahi Abdulkabiru from Tundun-Wada, Kaduna state and Louis Okoye Okwudili, a trader from Aba, Abia state. Recounting the stories of how they were informed that they won N1 million for registering their SIM cards, the subscribers were full of joy and excitement for their good fortune. The story of Charles Okoro, a furniture maker who broke down in tears at the ceremony was especially touching. He said he was so sceptical that he rained insults on the Glo officials who kept calling him because he thought that they were fraudsters. “I never believed it could be true until I came here with my brother today. I want to thank Glo for not giving up on me. I pray that God will continue to bless Glo as I am short of words. I will use the money to grow my furniture business”, he said. Omolere Adejoke, a student at the Nigerian College of Aviation, Zaria, also doubted the authenticity of the calls until Glo officials got close relations and associates to speak with her. Her elder sister also had to accompany her to the Gloworld office to verify that she truly won. “I really want to say a big thank you to Glo from the bottom of my heart because I was not expecting this. I will pay my tithe and use the rest of the money to get a simulator to use for my flight training. I encourage all Nigerians to use Glo as it is the best network”, she said. For Justina Salisu, a petty trader in Dopemu, Lagos, winning N1 million simply for SIM registration was like a dream suddenly turned real. “I never believed for one moment I could win. This is like a dream come true as it shows that whatever Glo says is true and anyone can win. I pray that Glo will grow from strength to strength and take over the whole world. Now, I have enough money to take my business to greater heights”, she said. Speaking earlier at the event, Globacom’s Divisional Director, (North Central), Lorenzo Gomez said that ‘Another Glo N1 Billion Blast’ was a special initiative intended to show appreciation to Glo subscribers who register their SIM cards and also thank them for their loyalty. He urged existing and potential Glo subscribers to go ahead and quickly register their SIM cards as the extended Glo N1 Billion SIM registration Blast will reward Glo subscribers across the country who register their SIMs with prizes of N1 million daily for 10 subscribers and N500 worth of airtime/sms daily for another 60,000 people who register and recharge their lines during the duration of the promo”.
