INI EDO,AKON,PSQUARE OTHERS ROCK BANKY W's BIRTHDAY PARTY

Ini Edo,Akon,Toolz and Banky W
BANKY W's surprise birthday party on Tuesday March 27, 2012 at The Grotto in Victoria Island, Lagos brought out a large number of A- list entertainers.

With so much love from fans on twitter, facebook and elsewhere, and a guest list that included Akon, Psquare, MI, Tiwa Savage, Kel, Ini Edo,Skales, Toolz and others, the R&B giant and EME Chairman had a time of his life!
“Even when I gbagaun, I don’t get half as many mentions as this ooh…. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes… God bless” the singer said to his fans on twitter, earlier in the day.

Before The Grotto surprise party put together by his friends, Banky told journalists in Lagos he plans to dedicate more of his time to "helping young talents grow and do all I can to make the journey easier for talented young people out there trying to build a career in music".


"As I grow older, it's becoming very important for me to play my little part in developing this industry; to play my own role in empowering our youths, and in extension, the nation. I'll be happy if I can help more and more upcoming talents escape the hurdles I passed through while coming up. Everyone sees Banky W, Wizkid, 2face, Psquare or D'banj - but people forget that for each one of us that makes it, there are dozens others who fell by the way side; most of them could have made it if only they got more support. I made it to where I am because of the love and support from the media, my label, fans, promoters and my family. I think it's my responsibility, to make sure I support those coming behind. That's what I've done with Wizkid. We're working on Skales now, and many more are on the way".

Banky W’s protégé WizKid was missing in action from his mentor’s "Lagos party", but he had a good reason- he was away in America having series of sit downs and focused discussions with prominent African-Americans and promoters ahead of the forthcoming EME tour. “Happy Birthday to my big bro, Banky W. God bless you more Wizkid wrote in a Twitter shout out to Mr W.

Banky W's third Nigerian album titled R&BW is expected later this year.

SAMSUNG MOBILE APPOINTS BANKY W, SASHA AS BRAND AMBASSADORS

 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.

“MALTA GUINNESS ADDS COLOUR TO VALENTINE CELEBRATION”

It is a common knowledge that the date February 14 is set aside worldwide in celebration of what we have come to know as Valentine’s Day. However that is not the news, what is rather of interest is the experience that people are expected to share on this day better described as Lovers Day.

Much as i agree with the notion that the belief held by different individuals regarding Valentine’s Day varies from person to person, thus the activities that people involve themselves in is a function of what Valentine means to them. I think one can assert that Valentine’s Day is a day to show love and appreciation especially to those so dear to us in one form or the other.

In the season of love and appreciation that Malta Guinness, the only Naija Malt drink that offers Top of the World goodness took fun, energy and love to its loyal consumers on Valentine’s Day at the famous Planet One, in Lagos, by joining the rest of the world in celebration at an event tagged “MALTA GUINNESS LOVE ROCK VALENTINE PARTY”.

The show kicked off proper at a time when the day gave way for nightfall with the invited guest starting the night on the red carpet while the ever popular Steel Roller “DJ TOP” steering the wheels to the top of the world as the entire atmosphere went eccentric with various Naija vibes that were dished out from the wheel of steel to thrill the fun loving Malta Guinness Consumers and fans.

The “Malta Guinness love rock Valentine party” was anchored by the very charming TV Presenter, Andre Blaze who did not disappoint the highly expectant crowd present at the show as he gave doses of a contemporary show handler.

The show saw Andre Blaze meandering amongst the crowd present at the event as he teased Val’s with questions and those people who gave the correct answers to the questions asked went home with various gift items. The show did not fail to live up to it’s billings as upcoming acts were called to the stage to showcase their talents, these artistes gave a good account of themselves as they reeled out contemporary tunes which kept the delighted audience asking for more.

The show also had, present, the Winner of the Malta Guinness Street Dance Africa Season III & present reigning Pan African Champion, X-Fellaz performing before the highly expectant crowd.

X-Fellaz in their typical energetic choreographic style, showed the stuff that made them the best dance group in Nigeria at the last MGSDA Season III competition and also, made them African Champions at the Pan Africa Dance Competition held in Ghana last year.

The show gradually got to another point of excitement as everybody present were invited to the floor to come dance as they all savored the sweet taste of Malta Guinness. This went on for couple of minutes as best dancers were identified by the Host who later presented gifts to some good dancers as this is the hall mark of Malta Guinness itself.

The show came to its climax when the popular Mr. Capable “Banky W” mounted the podium as he rolled soul thrilling tracks from his album collection such as “LAGOS PARTY”, “VERY SHARP BAD GUY” among other notable Hip Hop songs and this made the crowd demand for more hit tracks from him. Due to popular demand, he called out some ladies from the crowd who later danced with him as he sang “STRONG THING” with the females on stage.

The show was given a parting short when Mr. Capable, “BANKY W”, showed love to the female folks that danced with him as he rewarded the ladies with Valentine gifts but the crowd yearned for more but as the popular saying goes “For every beginning, there is always an end”

The show finally came to a point of rest after Banky W was done on stage. The excitement of the Malta Guinness Love Rock Valentine Party was on the bud of the crowd’s tongues as they reluctantly dispersed in joy and fantasy looking forward to another event of such fun, vitality and top of the world’s goodness.

As one of the invited guest rightly put it the “Malta Guinness Love Rock Valentine Party” truly rocked.
