MTN Celebrates Naija at 65 with Y’ello Independence

Date: October 1, 2025
Location: Lagos

As Nigeria turned 65 years on October 1st,  MTN joined in the celebration with Y’ello Independence, tuning up the spirit of love and unity.

From Lagos to Abuja, Port Harcourt to Ibadan, Enugu to Kwara, Kano, Imo, and Delta, MTN brought families and friends together in true Y’ello style. Guests enjoyed a day filled with food, laughter, games, live music, and picture-perfect moments that captured the spirit of togetherness.

The highlight of the celebration came when nine shiny tricycles rolled out to nine lucky winners across the participating states. The excitement was contagious — cheers, smiles, and happy tears filled the air as winners took home their prizes. It was proof that joy truly looks good in Y’ello.

To wrap up the festivities, selected guests were treated to an exclusive cinema experience, enjoying an all-expense-paid screening of the blockbuster Gingerrr, the perfect finale to a day that blended connection, culture, and celebration.

Y’ello Independence extended to the MEGA Billion Promo, which featured a special Independence edition that changed the lives of 65 Nigerians who became millionaires that day, adding a spectacular touch to an already unforgettable celebration.
