Sometime ago, a television commercial for Globacom was conceptualized, modified, adapted and approved. The lead model for advert was no other than, the masked musician, Lagbaja.

Knowing he doesn’t come cheap, Mike Adenuga, chairman of Globacom gave his nod, ready to pay his bill.

At the negotiation table, a fee of N35m was agreed upon by both parties. Subsequently, the recording of the TVC, partly at Lagos Bar Beach was done, with Lagbaja acting out the script. The director and the crew commended him for his professionalism and more.

The TVC was edited and presented to ‘the Guru’ as Adenuga is fondly called. He previewed and made some comments that prevented the TVC from hitting the airwaves as scheduled.

Eventually, the TVC was completely dropped but that did not affect the fees of the models, crews and others involved in the shooting of this TVC.

THEY SAY ADENUGA’S WISH TO SIGN OFF ETB SUFFERS SET BACK

Perhaps some ETB staff that were in the know of the negotiation of the acquisition of the bank by FirstBank were excited at the prospect of changing boss from the authority of Otunba (Dr.) Mike Adenuga to the structured management of FirstBank. Feelers from the bank owned by Adenuga indicated that some staff members were really perturbed when months after the very discreet discussion between ETB and FirtBank hit the dirt.

Background sourcing indicated that Adenuga is intent at concentrating on his money spinners, the telecom and oil and gas ventures in his vast business empire and considered the relinquishing what they claimed to be the troubles of running his ETB to the banking giant.

 Some of the staff considered this a momentary set back though.
