Opera News, the most downloaded news
app in Africa, gave away the first out of two brand new 2018 Kia Rios to
Akinpelumi Oladayo, a 24-year-old student and entrepreneur who won
the car by participating in Opera News’ Shake contest.
The car was
given away in an event organized by Opera at the LASCOFIS Bar in Lagos during the public viewing of the match
between Nigeria and Argentina.
During halftime
of the match, Opera gave away the keys of the car to Oladayo, or “Dayo” as she
liked to be called, who expressed her
excitement for being the winner.
“I
was shocked. I didn’t expect it and now I’m winning myself a car. I can only
say that this is a dream come true and it is unbelievable. I’m so happy right
now. Thank you, Opera News.”
Dayo
also mentioned that she has been an Opera News user for a couple of months and
she decided to try the app because she can find all the entertainment news that
she enjoys the most.
“Opera
News is informative and entertaining. I would definitely recommend it to
everyone,” said Dayo.
“The car was
the biggest prize of them all,” said Jørgen Arnesen, Global
Head of Marketing and Distribution at Opera. “There is one more car
that we will be giving away in Nigeria so we suggest for people to keep playing
with the app and to keep an eye on our social media channels.”
The car was
given away by Opera News in collaboration with Jumia through an interesting
competition in which users needed to collect nine pieces of a car puzzle to win
the major prize. In the end, users who completed the nine puzzle pieces entered
a raffle, and the winner was randomly selected from the raffle draw.
More
prizes to come
Since the
start of the 2018 football World Cup, Opera News introduced a fun, new feature
called “Shake” in which users only needed to shake their phones to win amazing
prizes everyday.
“We
are happy to partner with Opera News to deploy such a truly innovative solution
across several of our key markets in Africa,” said
Stanislaus Martins VP of Growth Marketing. “The winner of the brand new car
was able to redeem the car using a Jumia voucher on the Jumia website. Hundreds
of thousands of Jumia vouchers are still up for grabs in the month of July.”
Opera News and
Jumia still have more prizes for the daily users of the app in Nigeria who
enjoy the app and keep themselves updated thanks to the tailor-made news feed.
