WHO IS THE NEXT SAMSUNG AMBASSADOR?

KATE HENSHAW

SASHA P

The above question is the million Naira question everyone wants to find out about. Remember that in 2011 top Nigerian Femcee and the first lady of Storm Records, her excellency, the Honourable Sasha P & Chairman of EME Entertainments, Mr. Banky Wellington aka Banky W were unveiled as the electronics giant's brand ambassadors. According to our findings, the deal that was signed was only for a year and the deal expired after the last Summer Olympics in London. There's the gist allover town that Sasha P has been dropped as the brand ambassador, but the real fact is that the company and the rapstress only signed for a year and since the year in view has ended, everyone has gone there separate ways. 

What's the new gist right now according to our findings is that company is making the moves to unveil their new brand ambassador(s) sometime soon and instead of the music industry like they did the last time, they have moved their search lights to the Nollywood and several names have been put forward, but according to our usually very reliable source, the choice for the new brand ambassador might have narrowed down to top actress Kate Henshaw-Nuttal.  So while both sides are dotting the i and crossing the t, we are waiting for the official stamp of approval so that the unveiling would be done 'officially'. 

So all things being equal, barring any last minute change from both sides,  Kate Henshaw should emerge as the next Samsung Ambassador.
