Konga-Microsoft Lumia promo takes Kingsley Obodo to London

The promo kicked off as quietly as possible, without the usual buzz that preludes such epochal trade promotions. People, who bought their Lumia smart phones on konga.com, did not know that they are entering into a venture that could give them a lifetime experience, an all-expense-paid trip to London. They were asked to simply "Share a story describing how they intend to achieve more with their new Lumia device".

In the first week of the promo, which had seven entrants, Kingsley Obodo emerged as the 1st of 5 winners in the Konga-Microsoft Lumia Competition spread which will run till the end of August 2015.

Obodo, a 200L, Public Administration student of Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu shared a story of how his Lumia phone will aid the achievement of his everyday goals, a story that was adjudged the most innovative and fascinating of the entries, showing the innovative essence of the Microsoft Lumia smart phones.
