Two of the four winners of the P.M.News’ Predict And Win competition, Adegbenle Adedapo and Wasiu Adeoti were at the corporate headquarter of the company at Acme Road, Agidingbi in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria on Monday to receive their $250 cash prize each.
The two winners were among the four participants, who predicted accurately the scoreline of the UEFA Champions League final match between Chelsea of England and Bayern Munich of Germany at the Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany.
An Elated Adeoti, who spoke to our reporters after collecting his $250 cash prize, thanked the management of P.M.News. He said P.M.News has convinced its readers that it has integrity.
“People were happy with me when I showed them an e-mail that I received from the Managing Director of this company, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, who invited me to come and get my prize. Although many of them did not believe that a promo like this can be real,” Adeoti said.
“Many people who do not believe in the stories published by P.M.News will now see that this company has integrity. And this will further promote the image of the organisation, I’m happy to be part of the winners,” Adeoti added.
The second winner, Adedapo said that he did not believe that the company will redeem its promise even when he reached the premises of P.M.News on Monday morning.
“I did not even expect to receive any money when I got here this morning because I believed that the promo was not real. That’s why I told my colleagues in the office that I would come and show them the prize money when I get it. But, having received the sum of $250 just like Mr. Wasiu, I’m convinced that P.M.News is a genuine newspaper,” Adedapo said.
Meanwhile, the other two winners, Orisakwe Adeline and Basirat Adekola are yet to show up for their $250 cash prize each.
