It was a day of celebration on Friday as telecommunications giant, Globacom, rewarded subscribers with millions of naira through its Jolly Product Cash Award initiative—an innovative scheme that continues to combine entertainment with empowerment for Nigerians. Prize-presentation ceremonies, held simultaneously across various cities nationwide, showcased winners across different categories, including Jolly Life Lottery, Jolly Wheel, Jolly Win, and Jolly Trivia.
The spotlight of the event shone on Sunday Efenure, a 69-year-old technician from Edo State, who emerged winner of the ₦1 million grand prize in the Jolly Wheel draw. After receiving his cheque at Gloworld, Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island, Lagos, an emotional Efenure admitted he was initially skeptical.
“With the rate of scams in the country, I didn’t believe it. My wife told me to check, and I even asked my son to verify. When he confirmed it was real, I hurried down to Lagos. I am grateful to Glo for this life-changing reward,” he said with excitement.
Other major winners included Esther Clifford, a resident of Abuja, who received ₦500,000 under the Jolly Win category. She described her prize as “a blessing that came at the right time.” Likewise, Christopher Onajobhe from Warri, Delta State, won ₦200,000 and commended Globacom for continually improving the lives of its subscribers.
Another memorable moment came from Ibadan, Oyo State, where Taiwo Oni, 39, received ₦500,000 in the Jolly Life category. His twin brother, Kehinde, who accompanied him, expressed his excitement in Yoruba, exclaiming: “E chop am o! Me sef don run go buy my own Glo SIM. I must win!”
Other beneficiaries included Denem Usman Maji from Nasarawa, who won ₦100,000; Godwin Udanna from Onitsha, Anambra State, who also won ₦100,000; and Ijeoma Anogwa from Enugu, who walked away with ₦200,000. All the winners described their prizes as timely financial support that would ease family and personal responsibilities.
Presenting prizes in Lagos, Globacom’s Head of Value Added Services (VAS), Mr. Mojeed Aluko, emphasized the company’s commitment to appreciating customer loyalty. He congratulated the winners and encouraged more Nigerians to participate in the Jolly promos by dialling *13199# on their Glo lines and following the menu prompt.
Also speaking at the event, Tolulope Aminu, representing Tetragrammaton International, Globacom’s partner in the scheme, noted: “These promotions are not only exciting but also life-changing, as today’s testimonies have shown.”
The beneficiaries of the Jolly Product Cash Award praised Globacom for consistently creating opportunities that positively impact lives and expressed heartfelt appreciation to the company, wishing it continued success in the years ahead.
