Bakare with her brand new car from Glo |
It took the visit of Glo officials to the
home of 27-year-old Temitope Bakare in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, on Monday
before she became convinced that she had
indeed won a brand new car in the Festival of Joy promotion.
Bakare, a hairdresser who just graduated
from university, had emerged the latest car winner in the promo, but calls to
her line from the venue of the draw were not answered. Instead she kept cutting
off the calls, and, after sometime, switched off her phone. Some Glo staff
members then decided to visit her home in Itaalaga Street, which was about a
kilometer away from Gloworld in Ijebu Ode.
It was only then she believed. “When the
calls kept coming and coming, I thought they were from fraudsters. Though I dialed
*611# short code and kept recharging, I never thought I could win among
millions of subscribers.
This was why I decided to switch off my
phone to block further calls”, she told
the audience at the prize-presentation ceremony on Tuesday even as she rolled
on the floor, weeping in joy.
It was a joyous occasion as Bakare’s
relations including her aunt who gave her the SIM that won her the car, Mrs.
Adijat Adesoye, her father; Mr. Moroof
Bakare, other members of the extended Bakare family and community members all
hugged her repeatedly in pure ecstasy.
