AIRTEL RELEASE MNP ADVERT DISSING MTN
Kiyo: Taking cue from MTN
but presented in a subtle manner, Airtel has released their commercial for the
number portability regime. The ad started with a family moving from a yellow
painted building to a larger and more elegant one painted red with the guy
saying ‘finally’. One key element in the ad is that the family moved with the
yellow painted house number; this is to let the consumers know that you can
still retain your phone number (MSISDN) despite porting.
Filo: Interesting, waiting for

SAKA Finally ports to MTN, jettison Etisalat
Filo: Afeez Oyetoro fondly
called SAKA is a popularly name in the entertainment circles possibly because of
his hilarious interpretation of roles.
The
lecturer cum actor before now was known as a brand ambassador of EMTS (Etisalat); however in the recent porting
advert of MTN, Saka seems to have
dumped his first love. The ad started with Saka dressed in green traditional
attire only to metamorphose into a yellow costume singing ‘I don port o, I don
port go MTN. I don upgrade to MTN‘.
Let’s
recall an interview he granted Saturday Tribune last year, SAKA said “As you
must have known I had a very poor
background and I have said it before that at a point in my life, poverty
was too evident with bread and beans
as well as guguru and epa being my
anointed foods but today it is all history. The Etisalat campaign is blessing my pockets, it has also boosted my
profile to the point that I believe that real stardom will soon come. However,
I am still my humble self”
Saka, so what happened?
Kiyo: Many questions begging
for answers;
1. Was
there a contractual agreement between Etisalat and Saka or his rep?
2. If
yes, has the contract elapsed?
3. If
no, why would a company in the calibre of EMTS
have a brand ambassador or propagandist without a contractual document?
4. Is
MTN more afraid of Etisalat than other competitors?
5. Would
the advertising war obviously started by MTN be healthy for our nascent porting
regime?

The biggest mistake I have made is letting people stay longer than they deserve – Kanye West

happiness. Enjoy what you felt and move on. It was never meant to be” and “No
one wants to be treated like an option”, it seems the rapper needed to get
stuff off his chest.
But wait

Everything around My Life Is Fire Brand – Nollywood Actor Funsho Adeolu

| Funsho Adeolu and wife, Iboro |
Kiyo: In a programme organised in Lagos yesterday by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, G2G Parish with the aim of motivating the youth, top Nollywood actor, Funsho Adeolu, accompanied by his wife, Iboro opened up on the secrets of his success. Stating the obvious that hard work pays; Funsho maintained he cannot underestimate the effect of his closeness to God on his career and prayers from his wife whose parents are pastors in MFM.
He said ‘the mother is a pastor in MFM, the father is a pastor in MFM; that’s my wife’s parent. Everything around me is fire brand’
The actor who is seen by some as unmarried because of the way he shield his family from public glare, encouraged the youth to draw their strength from God, distinguishing between interest and talent. ‘There is a difference between interest and talent, if what you have for acting is interest, then the movie industry is not for you’ he said.
Also responding to a question on how ladies sleep their way to the top in Nollywood, Funsho citing the case of Genevieve maintained it is possible to get to the peak of Nollywood without sleeping with producers or directors.
Filo: Another pastor in the making, hey, the guy can sing too.
