According to Globacom, “12 subscribers have returned from Russia after visits to different monuments, tourist attractions and historical sites where they were treated to delightful experiences in Russiaâ€.

The winners on their part commended Globacom for introducing the promo. One of the winners, Oluseyi Adetokunbo, an Analyst in a Microfinance Bank said, “I was excited when I received the call, but my colleagues said it was a scam. Now I can confirm to them that it is realâ€.
Another winner, Aseruoma Glory Aworiwo, declared, “I did not believe when I got a call from Glo to inform me that I won.

Similarly, Ajayi Odunayo Felix, a fish farmer, thanked Globacom for the wonderful opportunity to travel outside the country. “I am so excited as this will be the first time I have traveled outside West Africaâ€.
