- Nseobong Okon-Ekong

Globacom has flagged its sixmonth-long music and comedy shows with superlativ­e parties held in five different cities over the weekend. The well attended parties tagged Glo #Stay Buzzin were held simultaneo­usly in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Benin and Port Harcourt and drew youths, fun lovers and students of higher institutio­ns in the cities who came to savour the evening of fun with entertainm­ent superstars. Globacom said the parties were organised to flag off the music and comedy shows scheduled to hit 27 Nigerian cities from April 7. The company also used the parties to introduce Glo Cafe, an app designed for all categories of telecom subscriber­s, particular­ly students and youths. A one-stop telecommun­ication solution, Glo Cafe offers games, videos, music, sports, entertainm­ent and e-commerce. It is also the fastest and easiest way to recharge the Glo account.

The company said: “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.” In Lagos, the show was held at the House of Haze near the University of Lagos. Students of the school and those from the Yaba Polytechni­c came out in large numbers and their thirst for fun was assuaged with good music and rich doze of comedy from Omni, Whalemouth and humour merchant, Bovi, who anchored the show. The atmosphere was further electrifie­d when mega star and King of the Street, Olamide arrived the party. Similarly, it was fun all the way in Abuja as youths from different educationa­l campuses in and around the federal capital territory converged for a night of fun and entertainm­ent at Empire Lodge, Stamford Hotel, Kubwa for the Glo sponsored Stay Buzzing party. 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 at Ikolaba GRA, Ibadan, Korede Bello dished out melodious songs from his repertoire to the delight of students who came in bus loads from the University of Ibadan, Lead City University and The Polytechni­c, Ibadan among other tertiary institutio­ns.

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 to herald its 6-month nationwide mega shows kicking off in April. They came, dressed up to the nines and ready for dancing action. Dance hall music mega star, Timaya joined senior officials of Globacom, namely, Mr. Bisi Koleosho, Globacom’s Head of Operations, Mr. Ashok Israni, Regional Chief Marketing Officer and Augustine Mamuro, National Sales Coordinato­r among others to party with the youths. In Benin, students from University of Benin, UNIBEN, 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. Most intriguing is the dramatic manner the duo of two Glo brand ambassador­s - ace comedian, Gordons and the most sensationa­l Nigerian female vocalist, Omawumi - anchored the show to the delight of the ecstatic students.
