The Festival of Joy promo, which began in November 2022, is giving out 20 houses, 24 brand new cars, 100 generators, 200 sewing machines and 1,000 rechargeable fans to subscribers on the Glo network.
To participate in the promo, subscribers are required to dial *611# and keep recharging (voice and data during the promo period) in order to be eligible to win the prizes on offer.
Winners of houses, cars, sewing machines, generators and rechargeable fans have been presented their prizes at fanfare events across various cities of the federation.
The latest house winner in the on-going Glo Festival of Joy promo, twenty-six-year-old Chimeka Woke, has stated that Globacom gave him a new house just when he was beginning to get worried about how to raise enough money to pay for an apartment to move his wife and 11-month-old baby into.
The Rivers State born Lawyer who could not contain his joy at the presentation ceremony where he received the keys to the apartment on Friday, December 8, 2022 in Port Harcourt, said he had just dropped off his recuperating father in the hospital for a physiotherapy session and was waiting when his phone rang only to be told that he had won a 3-bedroom apartment.
“I literally abandoned my dad and ran to the Glo office on Aba road just to be sure I heard well”, he said, adding that it sounded too good to be true for someone staying in his father’s Boys Quarters to be called and told he had just won a house.
“It was as if God and Globacom were monitoring me”, he disclosed enthusiastically. He thanked Globacom immensely for initiating and sustaining such a huge subscriber-reward programme. “ I am very grateful”, he added.
