Ebere Okaro Onyuke Becomes Brand Ambassador Of Diva Products
Nollywood veteran, Ebere Okaro Onyuke, has secured a fresh endorsement as brand Ambassador for Diva World Trading Services, makers of Diva Palm oil, plantain flour, Oat flour and yam flour.
Speaking on the new deal,the excited actress was full of praise for the feat the company has achieved. She says: “I feel honoured first of all,Diva products are proudly Nigerian, a lot of people are used to imported foods from rice to other things. Fortunately, I am one person who is proud of Nigerian products, for instance, I eat Nigerian rice,when she called me and said she has Nigerian products, I was amazed, when I saw every thing she has on board, the rice,the oaths, the plantain, I was moved.
“ I was surprised and asked my self if we really have all these here in Nigeria. When I am coming from the East, I buy most of the things, especially plantain flour and you know, some of these things are mixed. We don’t know how they are processed, so now we have something clean that is being offered to the people. The most amazing thing is that it is all Nigerian. We have to learn to patronise our own, a lot of people say Nigeria is not good. I am not part of them, no matter how bad Nigeria is.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company, Ifeanyinwa Nnanna Mba, said the choice of Onyuke was well thought out.The event was also attended by Nollywood actress, Dayo Amusa.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
