Jonah Iboma
 Subscribers have applauded the Blackberry services being offered by Globacom.According to a statement released by the firm on Thursday, users who spoke on the impact the product on their personal and business activities, noted that the device had become a very important part of their lives. The Head of Legal, BGL Limited, Mr. Billy Odum, said the Blackberry from Glo had helped to transform him. He disclosed that he once ran into the Pulitzer Prize winner, the Nigerian-born Dele Olojede at the airport and that even though the name rang a bell, he did not have details about the personality he was meeting. His Blackberry from Glo became a handy tool to search for details about the journalist. That, he said, helped him to maintain a robust conversation with Olojede. Odum confessed that unlike other executives who carried several phones around, he depends only on his Blackberry for his voice and data communication and had found it very reliable. He said he had been spreading the good stories of Globacom to everyone who comes his way. "I have been at meetings where my Blackberry device helped out in getting information that helped to solve knotty issues. It promotes proximity with my office as the office is literally with me wherever I go,” he said. The Head of Communication at FCMB, Mr. Biodun Adesanya, said the bank was one of the first corporate organisations to subscribe to Blackberry from Glo when it was introduced one year ago. He explained why the company did this, "At that time, FCMB was going through a transformation process to catapult it to a leadership position in the banking industry and reposition it as a player with an eye on the global market
