On Thursday, November 24 2022, telecommunication operator, Globacom, handed the keys to a 3-bedroom apartment to 49-year-old Mechanical Engineer, Ola Owonifari Joseph, as he emerged the second winner of the star prize in the Glo Festival of Joy promo.

The event had in attendance the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ikuinyi O. Ibani, as well as the Chief Whip of Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon Evans Bipi, the representative of National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Mr. Walson Dambo, Nollywood legends, Victor Osuagwu and Francis Duru, among others.

In his remarks at the event, the Speaker of the House noted that Globacom has brought joy and happiness to Nigerians through the Festival of Joy promo.  He said, "Globacom is giving home to the homeless and this is one of the best things you can do to help anyone in life", adding that, "what Globacom has done today deserves commendation and it is worthy of emulation, especially by other telecom companies in Nigeria".

Regional Manager of Globacom in Port Harcourt, Mr. Augustine Mamuro while delivering his address at the event said that the company was glad to see the joy on the faces of lucky winners as they receive amazing prizes across the country.

“From the garden city of Port Harcourt, the festival of Joy promo train will move to other cities including Lagos, Lokoja, Yola, Calabar, Kano, Enugu and Makurdi where prizes will be presented to winners in these locations. A total of 20 houses, 24 brand new cars, 100 generators, 200 sewing machines and 1,000 rechargeable fans will be given out in the promo”, Mamuro explained.

He urged Glo customers to dial the dedicated short code *611# and keep recharging (voice and data during the promo period) in order to be eligible to win the prizes on offer.

Winner of the house, Owonifari Joseph, recounted his journey to winning: “It’s a miracle, I still can’t believe it. Glo is our family network; we communicate all the time and even with our family friends on Glo lines. I remember loading credit and data recently when the last subscription expired and after that I joined the promo. I was not expecting anything soon but yesterday morning I got a call from a Glo officer, who after series of questions told me that I won a house. I was too shocked.”

He explained further, “I was just planning how to develop my land gradually and lo and behold, Glo showed up and made me a house owner. This prize is for me and my family and we are moving in immediately. God bless the owner, the management and staff of Globacom. They will continue to grow from strength to strength, I am overwhelmed with joy”.
