Apple commended Globacom on iPhone launch

Apple has lauded Globacom effort for its immediate turn-around of the demands of its subscribers who swamped the Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island, Lagos Gloworld in the early hours of Friday to purchase the newly introduced iPhone 6 handsets.

Apple Regional Sales Manager for Africa, Mr. Paddy McManus who gave the commendation at the unveiling ceremony of iPhone 6 expressed delight at the impressive turnout of subscribers, adding that he was pleasantly shocked and surprised.

“This is a very loud move from a loud network in Lagos. I am extremely impressed. This is what usually happens all over the world when Apple is launching its products. Nigerians are really great,” Mr. McManus exclaimed.

An On Air Personality, Mr. Folajinmi Akinsola became the first Nigerian to own an authentic iPhone 6 sold by any telecommunication network in Nigeria when he purchased the phone at the Gloworld shop on Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island, Lagos immediately after it was officially unveiled at 12.05am on Friday. Former beauty queen, Miss Tobi Phillips kept vigil to emerge the first Nigerian female to own an authentic iPhone 6 when she paid for the phone which she earlier pre-ordered.

Iconic Glo brand ambassadors like Flavour, NaetoC and Chee the Voice were on hand to pep up the event. Flavour and Naeto C later joined the official Apple team to present iphones to early buyers who kept vigil at the Gloworld shop to make history.
