That actor/Glo ambassador, Van Vicker has a huge fan base across africa and beyond is indisputable, that he is also passionate about his work and is ready to take it further is stating the obvious. I did write sometime recently about his intentions of taking a month break to take extensive training in a film school in US.








Well according to Van in his facebook status which reads thus "Landed in the US to begin six weeks of school. Will also be premiering my new movie RAJ in some states here. I will publish details soon. Thanks for your support".

So thats it, you have heard from the horse's mouth, it wasnt just a stunt by those guys from the press or procastination from Van, he did mean his word and i must commend him for this. This is bravery, humility and passion for excellence in his craft, i can only but wish him the best in his 6 week training. From me, its GOOD LUCK all the way, Van!

Glo ambassador and Ghana's leading man, Joseph Van Vicker isnt doing badly at the moment. He recently with some other top stars travelled for a commercial shoot for glo and according to Van in a recent interview he granted, he intends taking a one month break from nollywood to go back to film school. Are you kidding? I kid you not, and i must commend him for taking this bold step. One month is just like one second away, go do your thing and come back a better person. To all those critics of Van, the guy has taken one or two from your comments, he intends polishing his acts. I am so looking forward to the new improved Van, life is all about getting better, isnt it?

There has been a rumour for months that Globacom signed up Nollywood and Gollywood actors to become ambassadors for the brand. Van Vicker has been participating in the Glo Rock and Rule tour for months but had not signed on to become an ambassador until now.

When contacted, Rita Dominic would not confirm nor deny the good news. However, some soft sell magazines are already reporting that she along with Kate Henshaw, Desmond Elliot and Mike Ezuruonye were spotted recently entering Digitrack Studios in TBS Lagos Island where Glo was purportedly conducting a photo shoot.

Actress Uche Jombo may have confirmed the rumours when she uploaded her picture taken at the photo shoot to her Facebook Profile.  Other confirmed Ambassadors are Ramsey Nouah, Nnoso Diobi, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha, Funke Akindele who recently starred in the blockbuster comedy JENIFA, Ini Edo-Ehigwina who was added just a few weeks ago and Mona Lisa Chinda.  The deal is rumoured to be for 2 years and will cost the company billions of Naira.

Apart from Gollywood's Van Vicker, it is rumoured that the Company is currently in negotiations with Jackie Appiah and Nadia Buari to represent the brand.  Globacom has opened up operations in Ghana and is looking to expand business by signing these bankable stars who are popular all over Africa.

Globacom has shown its commitment to Africa through these deals and we hope that fellow Tansalites wish them well.
