I saw the advert and I decided to participate by dialing the ‘611’ promo code after which I started recharging my phone. Lo and behold, after about two weeks, I got a call from Glo customer service number 121, and after confirming my identity, I was told I won a brand new Kia car. I could not believe my ears. Glo has made me a car owner. This is the biggest gift in my life and my first car. I will forever remain with Glo network. I will keep the car for my personal use.”
There were also commendations from winners of the household items, including Paschal Oyedo and Paul Okoh.

I will take the generator at home to the office and keep this brand new one for the enjoyment of my family at home. Glo has been good to Nigerians.”
