DBANJ Loses His Job At Glo

Just a couple of months after singing the “Jona-Jona” jingle for Goodluck Jonathan’s election campaign, Dbanj has been relieved of his job of Glo Ambassador.


Although no official statement has been issued by the Dr. Mike Adenuga led company, sources close to the management of the company have confirmed the development.

As at the time of filing in our report, there were conflicting reports about the real reason, the Koko master who emerged as highest paid branded musician in the country was dropped.

While majority of people pointed at the “Jona-Jona” song as the real reason, citing the fact that IBB, who is Jonathan’s main adversary in the coming 2011 election, is a major share holder in Glo; others say the Koko Master was removed because of an inter wranging between him and the management of the company over renemuneration.

According to a source, the musician who signed an initial two year contract worth N70million but was allegedly paid for a year, felt insulted at the new sign on fee the telecom giant was offering.

“He was pissed that apart from being a far contrast from his initial sign on fee, it was far less than what was offered P_Square. Instead, he opted out rather than accept what he called a ridiculous and humiliating fee. This development puts to an end, the long running battle between the musician’s management team and GLO officials over sign on fee,” the source stated.

However, a very close source to Dbanj denied that there were such wrangings insisting that the embattled musician was a victim of 2011 political calculations.
