Twenty-four hours after his aunt told him something good was coming his way, Hussain Kehinde Garuba, a 24-year-old accountant, became a proud owner of a 3-bedroom house in Lagos, courtesy of Glo Festival of Joy promotion.
His aunt had visited him last Sunday and advised him to intensify prayers as something good was coming his way. He took that seriously, and just a day after, his story changed.
A graduate of the Lagos State Polytechnic, Garba was shocked his aunt's prophecy came to fruition through Globacom on Monday, January 12, when the draw for the house was done in Lagos.
"I was stunned when I got that call. I just wasn't expecting something as big as that coming my way so early in the year", said Garuba, who still lives with his grandmother on Lagos Island.
Garuba said he had always hoped and prayed that one day, he would be able to afford to build a house, hence his focus on completing his ICAN certification by next year.
"I could barely sleep last night as I kept pondering what Glo has done for me," he said as he collected his house keys, adding that he would forever cherish the network.
Garuba’s family members and friends turned the house venue of the event to a carnival ground after the presentation, singing and dancing to the good fortune of one of their own.
The special guest at the presentation ceremony, Mr. Hakeem Fahm, who is the Lagos State Commissioner for Science and Technology, lauded Globacom for putting smiles on the faces of its subscribers across the country.
He said that what Globacom is doing is an incredible act of generosity, adding that it is worthy of emulation.
Globacom’s Regional Manager, Mr Jude Jacobs, enjoined Glo subscribers to participate in the promo by dialing *611# and recharging their lines as appropriate for the various prizes.
He explained that “subscribers who desire to become landlords and landladies of 3-bedroom houses like today’s winner courtesy of Glo Festival of Joy must make data subscription(s) of at least N20,000 during the promo period”.
The event was attended by the representative of National Lottery Regulatory Commission, Lagos office, Mrs. Ene Ochagla, Iyaloja General of Ibeju Lekki, Olori Elemoro and Nollywood actor, Mercy Johnson Okojie.
The Glo Festival of Joy promo is offering 20 houses and thousands of other amazing prizes, including 24 brand new cars, power generators, sewing machines and rechargeable fans to subscribers to reward their loyalty to the network, a press statement by the telecom giant explained.
