IcePrince Turns Down Globacom’sEndorsement Deal
Ice Prince has turned down an endorsement deal
from major telecom company Globacom.
Insiders said during the week, that the rapper was
approached with a mouth watering deal to become
the brand’s latest ambassador because of his recent
successes -the release his first official single ‘Oleku‘,
his many local and international awards, and his
bestselling debut album ‘Everybody Loves Ice
Prince’ in 2011.
But Panshak Zamani doesn’t come cheap. We’re told
he’s asking for a whooping sum of $1m
(N157,000,000) or no deal.
‘He was serious, he knows his worth and knows they
can afford it so he turned the deal down‘, our insider
at GLO who wants to remain anonymous said
Most GLO ambassadors are paid within the N10-
N20m range, with D’banj and Psquare being the
rare exceptions. Psquare got N240m for a four year
deal
It remains uncertain if GLO is upping the figures for
the Chocolate city rapper. But if they concede to
Ice’s demands, he’ll become the rapper with the
biggest endorsement deal ever. But Ice Prince is
cool with that (no pun intended). In the last 20
months, the rapper has become the highest-earning
Nigerian rapper, with revenue sources including
concert fees and endorsements (he inked a deal
with LG in 2012) as well as non-music related deals
no one is wiling to talk about.
The rapper’s management has denied the telecoms
approached their team. ‘We didn’t get any offer
from them, I just confirmed from my team, there’s
been no offer’, a rep for Ice Prince says.
"Tb Joshua I Love You" - Screamed OgenyiOnazi
As soon as the final whistle went off after the
Nigeria vs Cote D'Ivoire game, both players and
officials ran onto the pitch in sheer delight,
screaming and hugging each other with big smiles.
Against every expectation, the Super Eagles had
triumphed over the Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire and
were heading to face Mali i the semi-finals.
However, one interesting celebration caught the
eye. As Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi
rejoiced, facing a camera, he mouthed the words:
"T.B.Joshua, I love you."
Whatever that means, we can't tell
Nigerians are conversant with Prophet T.B. Joshua's
many predictions, including claims that he had
warned Stephen Keshi, about conceding in the last
minutes against Burkina Faso.

Jonathan Thanks Eagles For “Masterly AndSuperlative Performance”
President Goodluck Jonathan today thanked the
Super Eagles for the “masterly and superlative
performance” in their quarter final clash with the
Elephants of Ivory Coast.
In a tweet by the Special Adviser on Media to the
president, Reuben Abati, he said “President
Jonathan thanks the Super Eagles for their masterly
and superlative performance in the just-concluded
AFCON encounter with CIV”.
Nigeria were tagged under dogs as soon as it was
clear whom their next opponent will be after the
group stage of the African Cup of Nations in South
Africa.
However goals by Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday
Mba gave Nigeria a 2-1 victory over tournament
favourites Ivory Coast. Newcastle midfielder Cheikh
Tiote scored for the Ivorians minutes after the
second half resumed.
A social media mockery began with Ivorian
defender, Emmanuel Eboue, labeling the Eagles
#SuperFriedChickens that will be devoured by the
Ivorians.
Nigeria will now face Mali in the semi final on
Wednesday, 6th February 2013 at the Mombela
Stadium by 20:30 Central African Time.
