MTN Nigeria Terminates Contract With Shina Peters, Timaya, Sean Tizzle, & D’prince

The trio of Sean Tizzle, D’Prince, Timaya and others, whose names were missing from the recent renewal deals by MTN may have actually been dropped as ambassadors of the telco firm. MTN had renewed deals of music stars like Iyanya, Praiz, Chidinma, Sound Sultan, Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid, Don Jazzy and others, but no mention was made of other ambassadors like Wizkid, Davido, Sean Tizzle and others. Fresh facts are now emerging that the left behind stars may have been dropped by the telco company.

According to a report on Fuse (an affiliate of the booking agency – ‘Upfront bookings’ in charge of the deals), some showbiz stars including Sean Tizzle, D’Prince, Timaya, iMike, Yaw and Afrojuju king, Shina Peters are among those whose contracts were not renewed.

If the findings are confirmed in humans, the knowledge could benefit people who suffer from retrograde amnesia, an inability to recall memories that were made before the amnesia, which is common in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. Scientists have long debated whether retrograde ...
