Goldberg’s Unlimited Faaji Storms Ikeja with Olamide This Easter
Goldberg lager, Nigeria’s leading mainstream beer, is set to hold a special Easter edition of its flagship consumer engagement platform – Unlimited Faaji, and this time it’s holding in the capital of Lagos, Ikeja.
The event, which would be hosted at the Open Ground of Ikeja City Mall on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 7pm, will be headlined by Nigeria’s Afro Hip-Hop sensation, Olamide.
Unlimited Faaji is one of Goldberg’s platforms for engaging consumers and fun-seekers alike in an atmosphere of unmatched enjoyment across the country.
Since inception last year, the Unlimited Faaji train has travelled across the country dishing fun-filled enjoyable moments to consumers; delighting fun-seekers with top-rated music artistes and comedians, especially in locations like Lagos, Akure and Benin.
This Easter edition is, however, set to be the biggest music concert and would have star-artistes like Zlatan Ibile, Mayorkun, DJ Kaywise, Dotun and Odunlade Adekola sharing the stage with Olamide otherwise known by fans as Badoo.
Olamide came into the Nigerian music scene in 2010 with his break out single, Eni Duro, which earned him wide acclaim and mainstream attention.
Since then he has continued to set the pace in the industry with his mixture of witty Yoruba lyrics and catchy melodies, earning him a reputation for being one of the most talented Nigerian artists of our time.
Fresh off the release of his latest single, Woske, Olamide is set to deliver a stellar performance this Saturday, when he graces the stage of Goldberg Unlimited Faaji, ‘The Take Over’. .
Speaking ahead of the event, Portfolio Manager, Mainstream Lager Brands Nigerian Breweries, Omotunde Adenusi, had this to say,“We have had great pleasure presenting Unlimited Faaji to our consumers across the nation.
“We, however, wanted to make this edition, particularly special. Olamide is a great artist and we are excited to have him headline this edition.
“We can’t wait to treat fans and consumers to a night to remember when Unlimited Faaji comes to Ikeja City Mall, this Easter.”
Over the years, Goldberg has consistently pushed the bar in excellence, continually providing fans and consumers with remarkable enjoyable experiences that dial up the culture and traditions of the people, whilst also appreciating modern social conventions.
This perfect blend of both worlds has made Goldberg one of the most authentic consumer brands in the country.

The event, earlier scheduled for December 7, 2025, was deferred to accommodate stakeholders whose observance of Christmas festivities had commenced earlier than expected.
Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mr. Israel Opayemi, urged stakeholders to note the new date and prepare to participate in the ceremony.
He said the awards would motivate professionals, practitioners and scholars, while enhancing Nigeria’s global competitiveness in the public relations ecosystem and strengthening brand equity for all stakeholders.
Opayemi reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to delivering a best-in-class award administration and ceremony, describing the PRICE Awards as a credible and enduring platform to identify, celebrate and elevate outstanding individuals, campaigns and organisations shaping the public relations landscape across sectors.
The development of the PRICE Awards peaked in September 2025 when the NIPR President and Chairman, Council, Dr. Ike Neliaku, inaugurated a 12-man committee to organise the maiden edition. The inauguration followed the Council’s adoption of the report of a technical team tasked with establishing the awards.
Netflix has announced a landmark agreement to acquire Warner Bros. and HBO Max in a transaction valued at $82.7 billion, a move analysts say will reshape the global entertainment industry.

The deal, which includes Warner Bros.’ film and television studios, HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Games, was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. Under the terms, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix shares for each WBD share.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described the acquisition as “a defining moment” for the streaming giant, noting that the company intends to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations while expanding its production capacity.
“By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies with Netflix’s culture-defining titles, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling,” Sarandos said.
The transaction is expected to close within 12 to 18 months, following the planned spin-off of WBD’s TV networks division, Discovery Global, in 2026. Netflix projects annual cost savings of $2–3 billion by the third year after completion and expects the deal to be accretive to earnings per share by year two.
Industry groups, including the Directors Guild of America and Cinema United, have raised concerns about the impact on movie theaters, while regulators are expected to scrutinize the deal over antitrust issues. Netflix has pledged to continue supporting theatrical releases, with Warner Bros.’ cinema commitments running through 2029.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav hailed the agreement, saying it “combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love.”
Observers note that the acquisition comes 15 years after former Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes dismissed Netflix as “the Albanian army,” underscoring the dramatic shift in the entertainment landscape.
A major shake‑up rocks viewers and subscribers of DSTV/GOTV as many channels are set to shut down and be removed on January 1, 2026.
The trigger for the upcoming shut‑down is a breakdown in negotiations between the owners of multiple global channels and the pay‑TV operator.
As of December 2025, the deal between Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and DStv/GOtv has expired and the two parties have not reached a renewal agreement.
Without a new carriage/distribution agreement, the channels belonging to WBD risk being pulled off the DStv/GOtv line‑up.
This is the most significant content cutback the service has seen in years.
The affected channels are:
Discovery Channel
TLC
Cartoonito
Cartoon Network
CNN International
Food Network
The Travel Channel
TNT
Investigation Discovery
Real Time
HGTV
Discovery Family
