Stepping into the Future with the Power of Glo Data
There is something special about being on the move and still feeling completely in control. That is the energy Globacom brings to life in its latest television commercials, “Road Trip” and “Department of Imagination” currently ruling the airwaves.
One feels close and familiar; the other bold and futuristic. Together, they tell a story that is simple, exciting, and easy to connect with – the power of seamless connectivity which Globacom continues to avail its customers with consistent network upgrade and investments in new technologies and innovative services.
The first advertisement, “Road Trip”, draws you in from the very first moment. A family sets out on a journey filled with excitement, laughter, music, and those little moments that make travel memorable. It feels real. It feels warm. And as the story unfolds, Glo quietly becomes part of everything.
With familiar faces like Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi, Demola Amoo, Bolaji Ogunmola, and Esan Damilola Catherine, the story feels even more alive. It reflects everyday life, where people just want a network that works when they need it. No stress. No second guessing.
The commercial opens with Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi clearly frustrated as she tries to finish watching a series but keeps losing network signal. She even raises her phone in the air in an attempt to reconnect, but nothing changes.
Her niece, played by Bolaji Ogunmola, and other family members suggest she switches to Glo, but she refuses and insists she is fine. Not for long though.
She soon steps out of the car pretending she wants to buy a snack, but her intention is actually to get a Glo SIM. When she returns and switches it on, everything changes instantly. The signal is strong, the streaming is smooth, and the whole mood lifts. The rest of the trip becomes fun, easy, and stress-free for everyone. Finding the right places becomes effortless. Locations are easy to find. Entertainment flows without interruption. Movies, games, downloads all work seamlessly. It is not loud or dramatic, but that is exactly the point. Glo fits into the moment so naturally, you almost forget it is there.
Along the long stretch of road, the connection stayed strong. That quiet reliability speaks volumes about Glo’s investment in its network and its promise to deliver quality voice and affordable data. With *312#, staying connected remains simple and seamless.
The second commercial, “Department of Imagination”, is equally exciting. It opens a completely different world. From the laying of cables at the beginning of the advert, you can tell something bigger is coming. The tone shifts from familiar to futuristic, from everyday moments to endless possibilities.
Featuring icons like Richard Mofe-Damijo, Hilda Baci, Bamike Adenibuyan, Obehi Brume, Eso Dike, Uche Ufuoegbunam, and Catherine Onoja, the advert takes viewers into a space where imagination leads and technology follows.
“Department of Imagination” brings a beautiful futuristic feel to life. The legendary Richard Mofe-Damijo takes on the role of the Professor, guiding the audience through different sections of this imaginative world. As it moves from one space to another, everything feels advanced and exciting. Games are played as if they are happening in real time, making the experience feel almost real.
We also see Hilda Baci showing how food processing becomes easier and smarter, while Bamike Adenibuyan (Bam-Bam) brings the AI character to life in a very engaging way. The entire playout is beautiful, smooth, and truly entertaining, leaving you with a sense of how exciting the future can be.
Everything feels upgraded. Gaming pulls you in deeper. Cooking becomes smarter and more creative. Healthcare reaches further. Content flows more freely. It is a world where ideas are not limited, but are instead expanded.
A line in the commercial, “Look What You’ve Started”, brings it all together. It feels personal. It feels powerful. It reminds you that every big idea begins somewhere, and with the right support, it can grow into something remarkable. This is where Glo’s intelligent network comes in not as a buzzword, but as a real step into smarter and more meaningful experiences. It reflects a shift in thinking. It is no longer just about doing more. It is about doing better.
Put both adverts side by side, and the message becomes clear. Glo is present in the moments you live every day, and it is also building for the moments you have not even imagined yet.

Ikorodu Security: CP Tijani Launches ‘Command Sweepers Squad’, Deploys Three LSSTF Refurbished APCs
In swift response to the recent security concerns emerging out of Ikorodu and its environs over the nefarious activities of some criminal elements that are tormenting places such as Ijede, Ginti, among others, the Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Fatai Tijani personally led a major show of Force across different part of Ikorodu to assert the dominance of the Police and other security agencies to thwart any crimes in the areas. This show of Force was also accompanied by the Inauguration of a special tactical security outfit codenamed ‘Command Sweepers’ Squad,’ which is a temporary intervention security outfit created to address the growing incidents of crimes and criminality within Ikorodu and adjoining areas, comprising of Command Tactical Teams, RRS, Lagos Taskforce, Eko Strike Force, 2 PMF, 22 PMF, and 63 PMF of the Lagos Police Command, alongside personnel from other sister security agencies and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), all working collaboratively to combat and stamped out criminality within Ikorodu and its environs. The Squad has been strategically deployed to identify black spots and criminal hideouts to carry out intelligence-led operations, raids, stop-and-search duties, and confidence-building patrols aimed at flushing out criminal elements and ensuring the safety of lives and property.
Top among the security equipment deployed for the show of force and the temporary Inaugurated ‘Command Sweepers’ Squad’ are the three (3) newly refurbished Armoured Personnel Carriers which were just handed over to the Lagos State Police Command by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF as well as Patrol vehicles.
While Inaugurating the ‘Command Sweepers’ Squad’, the Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani assured residents that the operation will be conducted professionally and in line with the rule of law, while urging members of the public to remain vigilant. He warned all criminally minded persons in Ikorodu and its environs to immediately pack their bags because his Command will not hesitate to decisively deal with them. Noting that the Command wasn’t resting on its oars, he revealed that the Squad will continue to patrol all nooks and corners in its bid to flush out all crimes and vices from the area.
Tijani assured law-abiding residents to continue supporting the Command with timely and credible information, through any of the emergency lines: 07061019374, 08065154338, 08063299264, 08039344870, and 09168630929.
He noted that this valuable information will enable the Police to effectively tackle crime and restore public confidence within the area. He also thanked the Executive Secretary/CEO of LSSTF, Dr Ayo Ogunsan for the logistics support including the 3 APCs which have enjoyed immediate deployment.
The Squad is strategically situated in Ijede to ensure swift deployment and easy access to all parts of Ikorodu and adjoining communities for effective crime prevention and rapid response operations.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approached the Court of Appeal in Abuja to set aside the judgment that voided the timelines it issued for the 2027 general elections.
The Commission also applied for the stay of execution of the judgment, pending the determination of its appeal.
In the notice of appeal dated May 25, which INEC filed through its team of lawyers led by Dr. Alex Izinyon, SAN, the Commission nine grounds it urged the appellate court to consider and vacate the judgment the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered on May 20.
Aside from its contention that the high court erred in law when it failed to determine a jurisdictional issue it raised, INEC maintained that the legal action the Youth Party (YP) initiated against it was not only hypothetical but academic.
It argued that failure of the trial court to make pronouncements on the issues, resulted in the denial of fair hearing to the Appellant.
More so, INEC insisted that the high court erred in law when it held that: “It is clear from the wordings of Sections 29(1), 82 and 84 of the Electoral Act, 2026, the following can be understood. Section 29(1) of the Electoral Act, 2026 mandates Political Parties to submit the names of candidates in prescribed forms of the candidates who emerged from its valid primaries which such a political party intends to sponsor at the elections, not later than 120 days before the date of the General Election.
“What is required of Political Parties to do under the Electoral Act, 2026 is to notify the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) 21 days before the holding of its primaries, congresses or conventions, days before the holding of its primaries, congresses or conventions, or any conference or meeting convened for the election of its executive committees, other governing bodies for nominating candidates.
“The Defendant is not mandated to impose a timeframe for political parties to conduct their primaries provided that it will be done and submitted not later than the 120 days provided by the Electoral Act, 2026. See Section 82(1) of the Electoral Act, 2026.”
INEC argued that the verdict of the trial court was against the weight of evidence placed before it by the parties.
Consequently, it prayed the appellate court for an order allowing the appeal and setting aside the judgment
The electoral body further urged the Court of Appeal to strike out YP’s case on the ground that it lacked the locus standi (legal right) to institute and maintain the action it said was merely academic.
