The winner of the grand prize of brand new 2015 Mercedes Benz G-Wagon, the ultimate prize of the Glo-CAF Predict and Win Big promo, Mr. Princewill Uzochukwu Nwosu, has thanked Globacom for giving him a new life.

Mr. Nwosu won the premium SUV, with a market value of N35 million, through a draw conducted during the Glo-CAF awards ceremony which was held at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos on Thursday.
The lucky Globacom subscriber emerged the grand prize winner after his entry was picked from a pool by the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mr. Amaju Pinnick, in the presence of over a thousand guests including CAF President, Alhaji Issa Hayyatou, who attended the Glo-CAF awards.
The G-Wagon’s key was formally presented to Mr. Nwosu by Globacom’s Regional Chief Marketing Offcer, Mr. Ashok Israni, at a ceremony graced by senior officials of the company, Globacom brand ambassadors, Naeto C and Helen Paul, as well as journalists from major news media across the country.

The promo that produced Nwosu was flagged off in December, 2014 as one of the two promotions introduced by Globacom to tantalize the 2014 edition of the annual awards organised sponsored exclusively by the telecoms firm.
The two promos are, Reserve your seat at the Awards Event and Predict and Win Big. The former allowed Glo subscribers who recharged with N5, 000 or more in December to book a seat as one of the company’s special guests at the event. Many customers who purchased smart phones from any Gloworld Shop were also rewarded in the promo. Over 500 winners attended the event.
The second promo, Predict and Win Big, required subscribers to correctly predict any of the winners in three Glo-CAF Awards categories: African Footballer of the year, African Female Player of the year and African Coach of the Year. Among the prizes on offer were a Mercedes Benz G Wagon, 10 return tickets to Old Trafford, home ground of Manchester United, and over 1,000 prizes of free airtime of N10, 000 each. Nwosu’s entry was picked in a lucky dip from a pool of other correct entries for the grand prize.
Mr. Nwosu said he put in three entries and forgot all about the promotion until he was called from the venue of the live draw on January 8, 2015.
“I couldn’t believe my luck,” he said, still looking awed. “I put in only three entries and I forgot all about it. To be frank with you, I wasn’t expecting to win anything, not to think of winning the grand prize of a Benz G- Wagon,” he said.
Mr. Nwosu expressed delight that God had answered his prayer of the cross over service of this New Year, wherein he asked God to give him a better car and prosper his ways in the New Year.
Nwosu said when a call was placed to him that he had won a G-Wagon, he doubted its authenticity and actually thought it was an attempt to defraud him. He said that Basketmouth, who placed the call, later passed the phone to the NFF president, Mr. Pinnick who assured him it was not a joke.
Speaking before presenting the car to the winner, Globacom’s Regional Director, Marketing, Mr. Israni, said, “With the presentation of this wonder on wheels to the winner, we have set another record in customer-reward scheme as this is the first time that this kind of prize has been offered in a promo in the country. We are indeed happy to fulfill our promise with the presentation of this unique ride. We are delighted to set this record and we congratulate the winner who Glo has no doubt put on a roller-coaster ride into the New Year.”
He encouraged subscribers who are not yet on Glo to join the network and begin to enjoy many other benefits which Glo provides on a daily basis.
