You can only imagine how the mobile telecoms operators are just extorting and defrauding Nigerians with there ill taught out promos and lottery. Just the other day one of them proposed to hand over an airplane to a randomly selected winner what higher form of con-tricks are there.

Well you haven't seen it all trust me, as even our own indigenous operator, Globacom Nigeria pulled their own scam stunt on innocent victims/winners of there all expense paid trip to Manchester promo to watch man-u live at old-traford since last year September, imagine an ordinary trip to the uk for a few winners they cannot provide even with the enormous profit being skimmed out of the pockets of Nigerians, measuring into billions on dollars yearly. How much more the ones promising aeroplane to just a random customer mcheeewww .

Surprising but true, It happened with a Glo promo which i was confirmed winner of the trip to the United Kingdom, Scheduled for sometime before the Ending of Last year December 2011... and up till date i haven't seen any effort by Globacom to fulfill their pledge.

The presentation of my price winning as seen in the picture which is attached to this write up was televised by two TV stations NTA and Channels, during which i had an interview session with reporters from NTA telling Nigerians how true and real the promo was, and thanking them plentifully little did i know , as well as two other National Newspapers The punch and Guardian Newspapers a copy of the guardian newspaper which i have.

My efforts to reclaim my winning was to no avail as i kept calling the promo manager Mr Wole Bankole and he kept telling me month after month since October last year that the management was still sitting to decide on the matter, not until May this year that he finally opened up the true nature of what had transpired as false and in his words he said "They are not going to send me on any trip anymore and that i should go ahead and do my worst"
Since then i had sent a letter to them by a lawyer in Afe Babalola requesting specific performance, and copied the NCC they replied NCC saying that they were unable to procure entry visa, that i should go get a visa for my self then they might consider sending me on another trip.

Eventually after struggling with the intervention of NCC and the Ministry of justice Lagos with several meeting appointments many of which they did not show up at all as well as numerous letters, they came up with there silencer for me the noisy troublemaker, that i should take N200,000 and shut my mouth or else i go meet them in court.

You can only imagine how manipulative they are, after all the publicity they used me for, not even covering the amount i have spent so far in getting them to eventually talk, considering that i won the star price and even at the event, other consolation prices that were won included 1,000,000 for some other winners. Well they have good bases for the confidence in the multinational legal entity they must be parading, even resently i heard from someone his own story of the exact same thing that happened to him in this same glo promo scam in 2009 and he got away with nothing well he did not have sufficient evidence.

Is this how the trend should be allowed to continue in this country? should they be allowed to deal all sort of dubiously with Nigerians and get away with it as frequently as they want?

Would like this story to go as far as Dr Mike Adenuga (GCON) so he gets to see how his promo managers are mistreating the General public with deception and foul play in there various promo scams. Am positive he would take action to correct the trend, i am not fighting for the money or myself alone, i am fighting for the rights of many more of such victims that are sure to result if the trend was not corrected.

And if the case finally would have to be decided on by the Nigerian law court, we need a vibrant judiciary one that we can TRUST & its cases like these that give confidence in the existence of the rule of law in Nigeria. For our nations sake, and the sake of our futu re.

In Nigeia, everything is possible..........what do you expect in a lawless nation? it cant get better.

Tempted to shout, lets see what GLO would say in defense but the evidence looks overwhelming.

My brother - dont back down (or listen to anybody advising you to "manage" the 200k). It is people like you who have the guts to challenge the injustice in this country (at all levels) that will change this country. Please also contact Saharareporters,Channels etc and expose these "corporate scammers". Well done my man.

ol boy you really fall that move?

Na 2day all of dem na theiving strategy naim b promo 4 naija. Bt wait d only tin u fit win 4 promo na T.shirt, Biro,Books&Free drinks

I sympatize with you.

What you need is class action. Gather other "victims" and institute a social networking war. Start with twitter and maybe you tube and watch it go viral. It will land on facebook and maybe huffingpost.com and cnn.
The telecoms companies in nigeria should stop insulting their customers, especially mtn with their "aeromplan".

If glo was in d UK and they tried this, they would have been sued for series of damages.

I hope you get to visit manchester. It is a lovely place.

My dad and a male teacher 4rn ondo state, a married woman 4rm Abuja and a young banker(female) 4rm lagos. Dey spent a week. He even shake wit rooney and he sat at his corner in d locker room. He was given one certificate like dat. IT REAL but I can't say if any other set as gone after his set. @op sorry bro. Sue deir fuckin assss
