TRUE STORY! Why I Never Became A Glo Ambassador – Genevieve Nnaji Opens Up

The actress spoke about her
various brand endorsements and
why she never quite cinched a Glo
deal…
Genevieve Nnaji is easily one of the
most popular and most loved
celebrities in Nigeria.
Her obvious talent and her
effortless beauty are a constant
delight to her fans and that’s why
they keep coming back for more.
The screen goddess opened up in
this interview with PM News and
she spoke about her career and her
many brand endorsements.
Excerpts below:
What has been the challenge since
taking up the ambassadorship of
the Amstel Malt brand?
There has been none so far.
Thank God for that. It has been a
smooth ride and a positive
relationship. I have been working
with very competent people and
agents. And Amstel has been very
kind to me. It has been a blessing
and an experience working with the
brand.
You have also represented other
brands as an ambassador. Can you
tell us the difference between the
latest one and the rest?
You can’t compare.
This is a drink and also a health
drink. It is also a successful brand
and it is something that I consume
as well.
It is not that I am just being
introduced to it. It is the same for
every other brand. For every brand
I represent as ambassador from
Range Rover, Polo luxury brand or
Etisalat, I am actually a customer
or patron of such brands.
Talking about being a brand
ambassador, many of your
colleagues are part of a particular
telecommunication brand as its
ambassador. Why were you never
considered for the deal?
You have to mention the brand.
Ok, Globacom
But you know I am an Etisalat
brand ambassador.
Of course I know. But many people
believe you ought to be among the
main target when they were
choosing entertainment persons for
their brand?
Well, I don’t know about that.
Would you also clarify the
insinuation swirling around then
that Chief Mike Adenuga personally
called you and you still referred
him to your manager?
First of all, that is not true as I
never spoke to Dr. Mike Adenuga.
In fact, it will be a honour to speak
with him.
However, let us face the subject of
speaking with my manager. I think
it is professional that managers
should be contacted when issues
about business are about to be
discussed.
I am not saying that was the issue
with that particular brand. But
let’s assume it was; is there any
problem speaking with someone’s
management? Please tell me.
So, the y never approached you?
Truly I was approached. We had
negotiations but things didn’t
work out and everyone moved on.
It is simple.
Woul d you want to set the record
straight concerning your
relationship with the music star,
D’Banj?
I have no comment at all on that
subject.
