Opera News,
the most downloaded news app in Africa, gave away the first out of two brand
new 2018 Kia Rios to Akinpelumi Oladayo,
a 24-year-old student and entrepreneur who won the car by participating in Opera News’ Shake contest,
yesterday, June 26. The car was given away in an event organized by Opera at
the LASCOFIS Bar in Lagos during
the public viewing of the match between Nigeria and Argentina.
During halftime of the match, Opera
gave away the keys of the car to Dayo who expressed her excitement for being
the winner. “I was shocked. I didn’t expect it and now I’m winning myself a
car. I can only say that this is a dream come true and it is unbelievable. I’m
so happy right now. Thank you, Opera News.” Dayo also mentioned that she has
been an Opera News user for a couple of months and she decided to try the app
because she can find all the entertainment news that she enjoys the most. Opera
News is informative and entertaining. I would definitely recommend it to
everyone”
The car was the biggest prize of them
all,”Jørgen Arnesen, Global Head of
Marketing and Distribution at Opera. “There is one more car that we will be
giving away in Nigeria so we suggest for people to keep playing with the app
and to keep an eye on our social media channels.” The car was given away by
Opera News in collaboration with Jumia
through an interesting competition in which users needed to collect nine pieces
of a car puzzle to win the major prize. In the end, users who completed the
nine puzzle pieces entered a raffle, and the winner was randomly selected from
the raffle draw.

Hundreds of thousands of Jumia vouchers are still up for grabs in the month of July.” Opera News and Jumia still have more prizes for the daily users of the app in Nigeria who enjoy the app and keep themselves updated thanks to the tailor-made news feed.
