 Goodies and more goodies keep coming the way of Nigerian entertainers. Yesterday, Gistmaster.com covered the official media presentation of Sasha and Banky W as Brand Ambassadors for Samsung Phones in Nigeria .  Banky W (Bankole Wellington) was all smiles. He is one of the lucky 'American' returnees making good money from brand endorsements in Nigeria. Sasha too! The chic is 'chopping' right left and centre.  Tola Odunsi one of the directors of Storm Records was also there. Olisa Adibua too. The presentation took place at Victoria Crown Plaza, Hotel, Victoria Island.  Top executives of Samsung told us that its a one year contract but did not disclose the worth of the ambassadorial deal. We guess it must have been good money, judging from the way Sasha and Banky W were 'bumping' with excitement at the presentation. A new Samsung is going to hit the market next month. We will load you with information about the phone soon. - Story & Photo by Niyi Tabiti emai...
