D’banj’s Endorsement Deal With Globacom Threatened After Being Featured By KCee
Rumor has it that the Kokomaster — D’banj’s multi-million Naira brand endorsement deal with Globacom Nigeria is presently being threatened.
Insiders have revealed that the reason is not far from the fact that he featured in the music video of Emmah, a song by Kcee, an ambassador of MTN, Globacom’s main rival.
Everyone knows that celebrities are prohibited from associating with elements of their endorsing companies’ rivals.
It was based on this fact that Tiwa Savage, an ambassador of MTN; could not perform at the prestigious Sisters With Soul concert last year.
Omawumi, another Globacom ambassador, was also affected by her endorsement last year as, when she wanted to shoot the video of Warn Yourself, the song in which she featured Wizkid, she had to cut his vocals from the video as she couldn’t feature him in it any longer because he was an MTN ambassador.
You will also recall that Kunle Afolayan was dropped by Glo for featuring “Etisalat’s now MTN’s Saka’ in his hit movie, Phone Swap.

Read Tolu Ogunlesi’s Open Letter To President Goodluck Jonathan
Dear Mr. President,
I am constrained to write this open letter to you before this season of letters comes to a close.
I will go straight to the issues at stake. Let’s start with the level of toxic-ness in the air, sustained to a large extent by the attitude of your array of spokespersons, who today do little more than insult and dismiss everyone deemed to be an “enemy” of the President. Just as you have a point when you said that the easiest way to be deemed “progressive” is to abuse Jonathan, it has also become that criticising the President quickly earns one all sorts of unprintable labels from your camp.
Everyone in your camp seems obsessed with the fact that the world is against you. One adviser recently accused everyone criticising you of lacking home training. Another, who made his name writing brilliant articles that skewered the governments of the day, recently lamented — without any sense of irony — that all Nigerian media is in the hands of the opposition. Continue...

"Awolowo Was Greater Than Mandela" - Writer/Poet Odia Ofeimun
I am too much of an Awolowo man not to see that the process of moving into independence in South Africa and in Nigeria followed exactly the same pattern. It was based on a negotiated settlement. The liberation struggle did not create the end of apartheid. It was a negotiation and Nigerians negotiated exactly the way Mandela negotiated.
