Another set of 20 Globacom subscribers
have emerged winners in the ongoing N120m Glo Overload Reloaded
promotions being run by the National Telecommunications Carrier. This brings
the total number of millionaires produced in the promo so far to 40.
A total of 120 millionaires will emerge by
the end of the promotion.
The latest batch of lucky winners received
their cheques from the company’s senior executives and brand ambassadors in a
carnival-like ceremony held at Yaba Market, Lagos on Tuesday.
The
N120 million Glo Overload promotion gives subscribers 400 percent bonus
airtime for every recharge of N200 and above.
Among
the latest winners of the promo are a Lagos-based electrician, Francis Oshin; a
nurse, Tawakalitu Ayedun; a civil servant, Atolagbe Folake; a Naval
Officer, Bassey Victor Elesiok, and a fish seller, Rukayat
Tijani.
Others

a business man; Soliu Abdulyekeen, a vulcanizer; Omowunmi Akintunde, an
Ibadan-based trader; Okolo Otulupe, a policeman; Okanmiwei Oweikimi Freedom,

The
lucky millionaires also include Oladejo Fatai Olayemi, a civil

Benjamin Bolarinwa, an accountant; Rasheed Yusuf, a farmer;
Adelaja Eyitayo Oluyemisi, a nurse and Olatoye Adefusi Oluwabunmi, an

Presenting
the cash prize of N1 million to each of the newest batch of 20 millionaires,
Globacom’s State Manager, Lagos 1, Mr joel Nwanze said, “the network is
delighted to spread excitement to the homes of another 20 subscribers who are
today brand new millionaires.”
One
of the lucky winners, Francis Oshin in an interview said he initially thought
it was a ploy by fraudsters when he was called. He said he angrily threatened
to place ‘Ijebu curse’ on anyone who called his line on the issue again.
According
to him, it was particularly unbelievable to him because the process of entering
for the promo was ‘too simple’. He said he recalled dialing *200# to get
on the Glo Overload Reloaded platform so he could enjoy the bonus advertised in
the media and was just loading his phone normally as he used to do.
He
said since he did not remember doing anything spectacular to enter for the
promotion, he found it difficult to believe when a Globacom official called to
tell him he won N1 million naira in a promo.
The
Glo Overload Reloaded promo is billed to produce 80 more millionaires in
the weeks ahead. Apart from the chance of winning N1 million naira, subscribers
also get instant bonus of 400 percent of the value of their airtime recharge of
N200 and above.
For
instance, a subscriber who recharges with N200 will get a total value of N1000
automatically. Any airtime recharge of N500 will automatically give the
subscriber a total of N2,500; N1000 will give N5000; N2000 will give N10,000;
and N5000 will give a whopping N25,000 value.
Also,
under the promo, data subscribers get 4.5GB of data for data plan subscription
or renewal of N2,500, an offer Globacom officials called unprecedented in the
country. In addition, the company said billions of naira worth of free airtime
and data will be given out in the course of the promotion.
The
company said that subscribers will be able to use their main credit to call any
network at any time of the day and the bonus airtime for Glo to Glo calls and
SMS between 10pm and 8am, depending on the validity period of the recharge
denomination, ranging from three to twenty days.
Another
winner, Okolo Otulupe, a policeman said apart from giving him N1million,
Globacom had also given him one of the best moments of his life by publicly
celebrating him together with other winners. He said the prize money would go
in sending his children to higher institutions as well as providing for the
comfort of his family.
Also
speaking on the promo, Mr. Joel Nwanze said over N30 million naira worth of
gifts will be given out as consolation prizes in the course of the promotion.
These include modems, Nokia Lumia Smartphones, LED TV, HP Dual core Laptops,
iPad Air and iPhone 6 devices, he said.
To
get on the Glo Overload Reloaded platform, subscribers are requested to
dial *200# on their phones just once. They will consequently be admitted to the
promo platform and be able to enjoy all the promised benefits.
