Expressing his heartfelt appreciation behind a delightful smile that he couldn’t hide, Saheed thanked itel Mobile for making him a millionaire overnight.

“This is the biggest miracle in my life. I wasn’t expecting this at all. I was in a public bus when I got the call that I have won in the promo. I started shouting “thank you Allah”, and everyone was wondering what had happened”. Saheed explained. “This money will change my life for the better because I’m always in debt every month. Now, I can live a comfortable life, pay off all my debts, donate to my mosque, and invest in a business.” He added.

He thanked the mobile brand and further said that itel Mobile had added immense value to his life by rewarding him with such huge sum of money.

Abubakar Akibu, a 2nd-year student studying Agriculture and a resident of Kaduna State, also expressed his joy at being one of the lucky winners. “It’s hard to express in words how happy I feel for winning in this promo. This money will go a long way in achieving my innovation of Whatsapp TV to promote music. I’ll go back home to tell everyone about itel and their good deeds to their customers”.

Another winner, Aigbogun Godwin, explained his disbelief at winning in the promo. “I just couldn’t comprehend how I became lucky to have won such a huge sum of money. I’m still in shock. I feel great and full of joy. I will use this money to expand my business and also buy an itel smartphone for my wife.” he said after receiving a dummy cheque for the cash prize.

Speaking on the mega promo, Oke Umurhohwo, itel Mobile’s Marketing Communications Manager, West Africa, said:
