Why Nadia Buhari Turned Down $75,000 Deal

Against the backdrop of earlier reports that actress
Nadia Buari has rejected a juicy $75,000
endorsement deal from French  company,
Avant Claire Grande, because they deal in skin
bleaching product, facts has emerged that Nadia
turned down the deal for a different reason than what
was reported earlier.
It was
reported
last
weekend
that the
pretty
actress
has
rejected
a
whopping $75,000 deal from Avante Grande because
she is against bleaching and product she was
supposed to market is a skin bleaching product.
Nadia was said to have called off the signing at a
board meeting in Paris after discovering the Claire
product contained compounds of hydroquinone (a
chemical used for skin whitening and bleaching).
The story was contained in a press statement
released by Nadia’s PR but according to General
Manager of Avant Claire Grande Afrique, Christopher
Owen, the award-winning actress did not reject the
offer because it was a bleaching product but, she
rather wanted $75,000 instead of the $60,000 they
were willing to offer her as a brand ambassador.
Owen said, he has come out to refute rumours
concerning the $75,000 endorsement deal rejected by
Nadia Buari as speculated in many quarters.
He said, his company offered the actress they chose
out of many a total sum of $60,000 which she turned
down after Avant declined a $15,000 raise she and
her management requested for during negotiations,
adding that Nadia’s refusal had nothing to do with
the said bleaching chemicals.
According to Owen, his company is still interested in
penning Nadia Buari because her brand remains
relevant and is in demand by the market.
