It was excitement galore on the 3rd of December 2018 in Lagos, when Blessing Jonah, a small business owner won a Toyota Corolla worth N2.5 million from Ekojara.com, a leading online gaming platform.
Since the unveiling of the brand, this is the first time an automobile was showcased as a prize – which indeed, produced a winner within one month of promoting the prize; this is a remarkable rare feat.
Speaking with journalists, Hillary Nwaukor, CEO of Ekojara said Blessing had won the Toyota Corolla vehicle with just N2,500 after an online raffle draw that was characterized by probity and transparency was drawn.
He congratulated the winner for having the conviction and courage to play the game on Ekojara.com, urging other members of society, especially within Lagos to take their chances in a subsequent online draw, as anybody can win.
“Remember, everybody stands a chance to win. Someday, we imagine that people will have a fair chance to win big items such as a Prado SUV on Ekojara.com, this is just the beginning.” Mr Nwaukor further revealed that one of Ekojara’s aspirations is to see members of society win houses in highbrow areas like Lekki and so forth.
“Our goal is to add value to the lives of our people through a pure bazaar game of chance.
“The only requirement from our people is to be ready to take advantage of the fair chance provided by the online gaming company, because you need to be in it to win it.”
To participate and stand a chance to win any item on Ekojara.com, players must first download Ekojara App from Apple Play store.
We also distribute the Android version from our website. Those who do not have smartphones can simply sign-up online.
“This is a game for many Nigerians who are willing to stake as low as 0.20% of the published value of an item.
“Blessing Jonah won this Corolla vehicle with N2,500; which is 0.10% of the value of the car in the market.
“In fact, we are running a bonanza on a second vehicle were bidders will stake as low as N500 perchance for the car; reducing the risk to 0.02%.
“All listed items to be won on Ekojara’s website have been verified by industry regulators,” he added.
Commenting on what the big win means for the Ekojara brand, Nwaukor said it basically means that our word is our bond as well as adding value to the lives of Nigerians through a chance auction that gives people the opportunity to own cars, electronics and many other items on Ekojara.com
“For instance, the lady who won the prize came to our office via a public transport, but she will drive home today in her personal vehicle.
“She might even decide to deploy the vehicle on Uber or Taxify platform and make more money,” because the Corolla 06 is a practical motor, cheap parts and easy to maintain.
According to Blessing Jonah, the winner of the Toyota Corolla vehicle, the joy of winning such a valuable item with a token appears to be unmeasurable. “At first, when I was contacted, I found it unbelievable.
“In fact, I was sceptical when a friend recommended Ekojara.com, this is my first time of playing a game on Ekojara and I feel very excited.
“I am urging fellow Lagosians to try their luck on Ekojara.com and continue playing because nobody knows who is going to win.”
Blessing added that she was inside a bus when a call was put through by the officials of Ekojara informing her that she had won a big prize. “All thanks to my friend Atinuke who mentioned Ekojara to me.”
Confirming this claim, Shonike Atinuke said before recommending Ekojara to her friend that she had won N5,000 and N40,000 on different occasions.
“I knew about this platform on Instagram and I downloaded the App. The day that I received a call from Ekojara that I won N40,000,
“I was almost crazy because I was screaming out of joy. Going forward, I started telling people about Ekojara including family and friends,” she added.
