On November 13, 2012, 27-year-old student of the Rivers State College of Health Science and Technology, Gladys Ebube Essien-Garricks was announced winner of the MTN Ultimate Wonder "Win An Aeroplane" Promo.
Rather than have the plane she actually won, Gladys had chosen the N64million cash prize which instantly changed her life and status. Fast forward to today, 2 years later, YNaija caught up with the mega millionaire to find out what she has been up to since the win. Excerpts:
How the 'win' was celebrated:
It was really an amazing thing that happened to me, I'm yet to get over the excitement. Not any one can be lucky like I was and I am still very grateful to God. My family threw me a party to celebrate but it was an in-house thing, it wasn't an elaborate one, just private family celebration. We didn't invite outsiders to avoid being kidnapped, lol.
You have been off the radar, why is that?
Yes and that's because I am presently studying business information system in Malaysia. I left Nigeria in May, 2013.
Why Malaysia?
Actually I wanted to go to Georgia but my ticket wasn't ready by then, so I settled for here and I really like it here anyway.
But you were already studying at the Rivers State College of Health Science and Technology
Yes but I had to quit, I couldn't go back to complete my studies because the whole winning incident made me popular in school, everyone would point at me, try to be friends with me and all….. I was known all over which the school and I had to leave for security reasons, I didn't feel safe.
After paying your tithe offering, what was the first thing you bought from the money?
I let it breath fresh air in the bank, then I bought lots of land…I didn't acquire houses or cars because that is not the main thing for now, moreover I'm not available to look over them so I settled for lands, it's a safer investment.

.... Success is not really about the amount of money you have.Strippers in Lagos state earn as much as 150,000 naira weekly exposing their naked bodies in clubs.Also, some politicians steal public funds,and leave their people to suffer.The list of ungodly means of making money are endless.Can we say people who make lots of money by ungodly means are successful?The likes of Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote can never be poor simply because they have a solution to some of human problems.Bill Gate helps solve the problem of information technology.Dangote helps solve the problem of getting some basic needs like salt,cement,flour,steel,oil and gas and real estate.I think success is fulfilling your destiny on earth,and achieving your vision.A lot of rich people today are not successful.What is your own definition of success??? ....
