    Goldberg Premieres Owambe TVC with Mr Macaroni, DJ Kaywise and Odunlade Adekola

    Goldberg Lager Beer releases an all-new tv commercial featuring Brand ambassadors Odunlade Adekola, Dj Kaywise, and comedian Debo Adebayo, aka Mr. Macaroni. The commercial was launched on September 11, 2021, to mark the inaugural edition of Goldberg World Omoluabi Day.

    The Goldberg World Omoluabi Day is a day set aside to celebrate industrious individuals in society who, in various capacities, have left an impact. It is Goldberg’s way of showing gratitude and respect to these titans of their respective communities.

    Furthermore, the TVC titled “Omoluabi” vividly captures the spirit of the Yoruba people who are the predominant settlers in the southwestern region of Nigeria. It highlights specific characters worth celebrating in a typical Owambe setting. The brand core values are steeped in promoting culture and the tenets of the Yoruba people while also recognizing, celebrating, and rewarding hard work.

    In that vein, it adopted a traditional wedding party (Owambe) setting. The plot centers around one of the brand’s slogans ‘The mark of respect’ to tell a story of properly observing customary processions.

    This theme comes to light when the groom-to-be flouts one of the wedding protocols by not removing his cap as a show of respect. Consequently, he was chastised by the father of the bride. He eventually does what was respectably required of him for the ceremony to continue.

    No doubt, there has been seepage of western culture into indigenous ones. In Yorubaland, certain rites are observed out of respect to those who came before.

    Although the TVC also showcases rich cultural values through costumes, food, and music, it beams light on customary rites, ensuring that certain key characters who are the life of the party, are celebrated.

    At the premiere which was held at the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Olaoluwa Babalola, Senior brand manager, Goldberg reiterated the core values of Goldberg while explaining the essence of the TVC. He said:

    “At the core of Goldberg is identity. Over the years, the brand has been at the forefront of promoting the culture and tenets of the average southwesterner while celebrating and rewarding true Omoluabis.

    “We hope to send a message to the younger ones about the importance of culture in our lives. Be it in terms of organization and nation-building. It is for them to realize that identity is important. To be proud of their origin story.”

    The well-attended premiere was host to high profile personalities like The Ooni of Ife, Mr. Macaroni, Odunlade Adekola, DJ Kaywise, Nollywood act, Lateef Adedimeji to mention a few
