Two days to the end of 2022, Globacom changed the status of 31-year-old
Miriam Okeanya, an entrepreneur, from living with her parents in Obigbo,
River State, to becoming a landlady, courtesy of the 3-Bedroom house she
won in the ongoing Glo Festival of Joy promo.
Miriam and members of her family were beaming with joy as they turned up
to receive the keys to the apartment from Glo at the presentation
ceremony in Port Harcourt on Friday.
Twenty-Four hours after the draw that brought up her name, Okeanya still
felt it was too good to be true. “It is a lie”, she shouted continually
upon being informed a day before the presentation ceremony that she had
won a house.
She confessed that nothing gave her any inkling at any time from January
till December that she was going to become a landlady at the end of the
year. “It feels great and shocking at the same time. I am grateful to
Glo. This Festival of Joy, I think, was put in place for me”, she added.
“True, I saw the advert on TV and decided to opt in by dialling the
*611# code, but I never had any idea that fate and Glo were working
together to do something as great as this for me”, she said.
The Executive Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government, Barrister George
Ariolu, who presented the house keys to Okeanya, commended Globacom for
putting in place such a huge subscriber appreciation package, adding
that lives are being changed and fortunes transformed by Glo. “I must
congratulate and applaud Globacom for this and I wish other networks can
copy this”, he said.
The Head of Licencing and Operations of the National Lottery Regulatory
Commission (NLRC), Port Harcourt, Mr Walson Dambo, Stated that the
regulatory body had been involved in the promo process from the onset,
and commended Globacom for being faithful in ensuring that winners
receive their prizes promptly.
Globacom’s Regional Manager, Mr Okechukwu Nwaeze, disclosed that all a
customer needs to do to participate in the promo is to dial *611# and
recharge with N500 weekly to stand a chance to win the rechargeable fan,
N2,500 monthly recharge for the Sewing Machine, N5,000 monthly recharge
for the generator, N10,000 monthly recharge for the car, and N20,000 for
the house”.
The ceremony was attended by Nollywood celebrities, Ebube Nwagbo and
Mofe Duncan.
