And the tribalists have started sparring again. Na wa o!

Can't u all just take pride in the fact that she's Nigerian? I tire for all of una.

seun would have wished we kept it English for all to participate in and fully enjoyed doing so

Na wa oooooo!! Why must every Nairaland thread end in tribalism You guys should stop this please. For those doubting the amout they are paying her, well, you may be right but that is not the issue. The fact is that out of everyone she was chosen to represent the brand. Why can't we all be happy for her without bitching.   It doesnt make a difference if she's ugly or she bleaches or she has ugly legs like some say. The company still picked her and not YOU!! Stop hating.

Thank God for her life

I'm happy for her !!!!!!!!

kech:

McDoe, it's not the modelling competition NOKIA FACE OF AFRICA. She's becoming a face of the Nokia brand in Africa. It's more like an endorsement just like the Glo contract she had.

Thank you my darling.

She does not have to be facially beautiful to do this and besides she is not ugly. The total package is better than a pretty face that does not know what to do with it

Is Rita Igbo or Calabar?

1 million dollars? for 6 months ? BEANS?

i find that very hard to believe - when its not as if nokia are naija jjcs - and there is a scarcity of ctors and actresses who will put their face , leg, bakassi etal for 1 million naira

nokia is a global business, not a nigerian bank - and i'm sure they know the pay scales of the movie industry in naija

even more so when you consider the economic slow down

Rita is igbo from Imo state

Face of Africa is not the same as face of Nigeria. If GLO paid her N50M  for a 5 year contract in naija alone, why can't Nokia pay $1m?. Nigerians know how to downplay themselves and cheapen their services.  It's attitude like this that made companies like Halliburton pay Nigerian engineers 5 times less than they paid their expat technicians in Nigeria[salary alone and not other allowances]. When Razak Okoya ban Nigerians from his property because they are not worthy, your likes will start calling him names.

Na wa o. 1 million dollars no be small money. Una sure she no use juju or something because i cant understand. Shit men.

Some pple have all the luck. Rita aint all that, in my opinion. Genevieve would be more suitable (she's world famous according to O). But, since she got the job, congrats to her!!

that's my girl, congrats Rita!

ITS GOD DOING
it is her time,dont criticise this lucky girl
if u do.your time will neva come
CONGRAT, RITA

i think they meant One million naira, not dollars

But come ooo. Why can't she get paid $1M? because she's Nigerian? Like Aloy said, some naija people either don't know their worth or try to cheapen themselves. If you are cheap, others are not!!! I don't know how true the amount quoted is but until we hear otherwise stop making assumptions. For those hoping that she was paid 1 million NAIRA, I seriously doubt it. That's chicken change compared to what she makes in movies. She can make 4 -5 times that amount in those 6 months. Just offer your congratulations and move on. 

Congratulations to Rita.

I think so too. 1 million dollars, who dash? Hw much is that in Naira abeg?

Why does she look so sickly and deathly?

Pshewwwww.

As una de see me so, i am at the airport and i'm buying ticket to Nigeria. When i get back home i'm joining nollywood. i know care how messed up the industry is. which kain tin be this, $1,000000 ke? kai, i don die

Ewwwwwwwwwww, see heavy make up. Its a very sad thing when you see a woman in make up and she looks out of this world, then you see her without make up and she looks terrible. It is sooooooooooo deflating. Women please be proud of your skin.

i beg stella, retract that comment.
stop taking your readers for fools.
that is IMPOSSIBLE.
even for an exclusive lifetime contract, Nokia will not pay her 1 million dollars.
one million naira is more like it.i think that was a typo.

Congrats ooo Aunty Rita
