Globacom, Nigerian telecommunications company, has signed Timaya as one of its brand ambassadors.
The ‘Dem Mama’ singer recently performed at the Enugu Campus of University of Nigeria for the ‘Glo Campus Storm’.
“He joins the brand endorsement portfolio of the company which has some of the best artistes in the country”, said a statement on Globacom’s website.
“They include Patience Ozokwor, popularly called Mama G; Omawumi, Ego, Yvonne Nelson, Nadia Buhari, Sessime, MI., Basketmouth, Bovi Ugboma, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello and Hadizah Blell (Di’ja). Other accomplished personalities who are ambassadors of the company include Funke Akindele, Ime Bishop, Odunlade Adekola, Bimbo Oloyede, Ego Ogbaro and Flavour, amongst others”, the statement concluded.
Timaya, a versatile singer, says he’s proud to have joined Globacom while describing the contract as a “great deal”.
“It’s Official… They say am proud now I know why cause I glo with pride. Glo ambassador. Great Deal…. Thank u lord”, Timaya wrote on social media.
For his counterpart, Wzkid, real name Ayo Balogun, a reverse in fortune is the case.
Wizkid, Friday evening, announced the end of his time as a brand ambassador for the telecommunication giant.
The ‘Shabba’ singer wished the company “the best” while noting that he enjoyed working with “amazing people” at Globacom.
Wizkid wrote on his Twitter page: “Officially no longer with GLO, it was nice working with the amazing people at the company, wish the company the best in the future.”
Besides Wizkid, Globacom is believed to have parted ways with some other celebrity brand ambassadors.
TheCable Lifestyle in September reported that Globacom had resolved to terminate the contract of Psquare, comprised of Peter and Paul Okoye.
The rather public nature of the controversies in the Psquare camp was said to have been a motivating factor behind the decision.
Although Psquare wrote the management of Globacom to reconsider them as brand ambassadors, that ship had already sailed.
