Glo kicks off 5-city shows with #Stay Buzzin parties

With superlative parties held in five different cities across the country, Globacom finally kicked off its six-month-long music and comedy shows last weekend.
It was indeed an evening of fun with entertainment superstars at the parties tagged ‘Glo #Stay Buzzin’ held simultaneously in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Benin and Port Harcourt, and scheduled to hit 27 cities from April 7.
Globacom also used the opportunity of the shows to introduce Glo Cafe, an app designed for all categories of telecom subscribers, particularly students and youths. It offers games, videos, music, sports, entertainment and e-commerce. It is equally the fastest and easiest way to recharge the Glo account.
“Glo Cafe is not just an entertainment portal, but it also helps customers recharge data and airtime, e-top up, as well as maintain their account status, among other values. It can be downloaded by existing subscribers by sending Buzz to 288,” a statement from the company said.
However, the show was held at the House of Haze near University of Lagos. UNILAG and Yaba Polytechnic students came out in large numbers and their thirst for fun was assuaged with good music and rich doze of comedy from Omni, Whalemouth and Bovi, who anchored the show. The atmosphere was further electrified when king of the Street, Olamide, arrived the party.
Olaniyi Opeyemi, president, Faculty of Arts students, University of Lagos, commented: “I had a whole load of fun tonight. It’s a well packaged show and I give kudos to Globacom for thinking about the welfare of the youths. The Glo Cafe App and the shows will really improve our social, educational and financial life. Glo is indeed representing the Nigerian dream”.
Similarly, it was fun all the way in Abuja as youths from different campuses in and around the Federal Capital Territory converged at Empire Lodge, Stamford Hotel, Kubwa. Most of the students came from University of Abuja, Veritas University, Dorben Polytechnic, and College of Education, Zuba. The presence of Glo ambassador, Sani Danja, heightened the excitement as the students took turns to take ‘selfie’ with him.
The Glo #Stay Buzzing party did not stop there. At Option 24 nightclub, Ikolaba, GRA, Ibadan, Korede Bello dished out melodious songs from his repertoire to the delight of students who came in busloads from the University of Ibadan, Lead City University and The Polytechnic, Ibadan among other tertiary institutions.
President, Students’ Union Government, University of Ibadan, Nifemi Ojo, said: “Gobacom has consistently shown that it’s a Nigerian brand which offers world-class services and products.”
Also in Port Harcourt, it was unbridled fun and entertainment when the grand masters of data hosted youths drawn mainly from nearby University of Port Harcourt to a pulsating #Stay Buzzing party. Dance hall music star, Timaya joined Bisi Koleosho, Globacom’s Head of Operations, Ashok Israni, Regional Chief Marketing Officer and Augustine Mamuro, National Sales Coordinator among others to party with the youths.
However, students from University of Benin, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma and Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, and other fun seekers were wowed at the Glo #Stay Buzzing party held at the Hexagon Night Club, GRA, Benin City. The highly-elated students could not ask for more as the in-house DJ continuously blasted vibes that kept them dancing until the early hours of Saturday. Some of them demonstrated their prowess for comedy, singing and dancing and they got quality gifts as prizes for their efforts.
