It was excitement all the way in the coal city of Enugu on Monday as another batch of winners in the on-going Glo promo, Recharge and Win Big, popularly known as My Own Don Beta, received their prizes at a ceremony held at Ogbete Main Market, Enugu.
The winners who came from Enugu and neighboring cities were accompanied by friends and relatives, all in joyous mood and bustling with enthusiasm, to collect their prizes.
A total of 100 prizes, including tricycles (popularly known as keke), grinding machines, generators and industrial sewing machines, were won by subscribers in Enugu.
Speaking at the event, Globacom‘s Regional Manager, South East 1, Mike Ehumadu, said Recharge and Win BIG promo was packaged essentially by Globacom to empower Nigerians with items that will help them earn a living.
He stated that Enugu was the eighth city that had hosted the event, which started in Ojuelegba, Lagos eight weeks ago, adding that other cities including Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Onitsha and Jos had hosted the events with Nigerians winning different empowerment prizes.
“We are particularly delighted that hundreds of winners across the country have joyfully expressed their happiness that the prizes won in our promo will significantly transform their lives. For us as a brand, nothing is more fulfilling than seeing hundreds of people who are on the verge of giving up hope receiving a new lease of life and trade tools that inspired hope and gave them the reasons to face the future with renewed hope and expectations,” Ehumadu explained.
The event was attended by important personalities including Mr Madukwe Oliver, Assistant Director, National Lottery Regulatory Commission, Enugu Office, Chief Chika Okpala aka Zebudaya Okoro Igwe alias 4.30 and the Chairman of Ogbete Main Market Association, (to clarify from Uzo).

Eboagha Ifeanyi, winner of Keke NAPEP
I won a Keke NAPEP. This thing that Glo is doing for us is commendable. God bless the Chairman of Glo, Dr. Mike Adenuga because I believe he came out with this in order to assuage the suffering of Nigerians. And you can see that the Recharge and Win Big Promo is not that kind of N1000 recharge. You can win with as little as N200. I have been trying to manage my income, but I ensured that I recharged with N200 consistently. It is youth empowerment. It is an avenue for us to do something for ourselves and be independent

I am very excited to be here today. Globacom is a household name in telecommunication business in Nigeria. It has become a tradition for them every year to reach out to their subscribers. By giving out prizes, Globacom is just showing its appreciation to its subscribers across the country for their patronage and this is a good development.
“My Own Don Beta” promo was launched by Globacom on 3rd October 2019 with the aim of empowering Nigerians, particularly those at the bottom end of the pyramid, to win trade-establishment prizes that will enable them to set up a business of their own.
Retail & Consumer Sales Chief, Globacom, David Maji remarked that “this promo will help us to empower the people and elevate our subscribers to a higher level of economic sustenance.” He said that it is “like an end-of-year treat for Glo subscribers and urge both existing and potential subscribers not to miss this opportunity. There cannot be a better time to be a Glo subscriber than now. If you don’t have a Glo SIM yet, this is the time to get on board,” he concluded.
