Bode George Slams Zenith Bank, Dangote, Globacom For Placing Adverts On CNN, Describes Such As Shameless 

Owners and managers of Nigeria-domiciled companies whose products and services are meant for Nigerian consumption but are being advertised on expensive foreign media such as CNN and others have been described as shameless people on mere ego trip.

Such companies must restrict their advertisements to local media and stop frittering away money in the names of adverts to foreign media such as Cable News Network (CNN).

Speaking with Daily Independent in Lagos on Thursday, Chief Olabode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said paying huge amounts in advertising local brands on international media does not make any economic, human or political sense.
According to George, some companies guilty of this are ZenithBank, Dangote and Globacom network.

He argued that many of the adverts which are being broadcast up to 10 times daily where people have no need for them is simply an ego trip that must be stopped.

“ Every day, go to see CNN, you see three major Nigerian companies advertising.  You see them showing juju music adverts on CNN advertising.
