It appears Nigeria’s eccentric afro hip hopstar, Terry G has
not run out of ideas on how to engage his fans. The hip hop act at a recent
performance in Enugu decided to take the gospel route while entertaining fans
at the Spices Restaurant in Enugu venue of Legend Extra Stout Taste and Tell
Activation hosted by Nigerian Breweries Plc.
But is he really born again? That
is a big question for another day.
The bell-brandishing artiste interspersed his performance
with verses and preaching from the holy bible much to the excitement of the
lively audience. “God loves us the way
we are, that is why Jesus died for us”, the Benue state born artiste stated
during his performance as he thrilled the audience to a collection of his hit
songs including Akpako, Free Madness, Love Affair, Oga, The Microphone amongst others.
The event also featured rib cracking comedy from ace
comedian Aje Baba. The comedian sent the audience reeling with his cleverly
delivered jokes. The evening was further spiced with performances from local
cultural troupe, PammyUdu Bunch and a live music from Tipsy Sounds, an Enugu
based Live Band.
Legend Extra Stout, organizers of the event also seized the
opportunity to reward loyal customers via the Taste and Tell contest. The Taste
and Tell contest saw members of the audience randomly selected to participate
in a blind taste game to determine who could correctly identify Legend Extra
Stout from three unmarked glasses each containing different brands of stout
drinks.
At the end of the game, three winners, Engineer Victor

refrigerator, a brand new 32 inch LED Television and a brand new generator.
Speaking on the event, Emmanuel Agu, The Marketing Manager
Lager and Stout-Nigerian Breweries Plc stated that the event was organized to
create fun and excitement for Legend consumers. He said: “Legend Extra Stout
proudly carries the tag of being the Real Deal. In line with this, we decided
to bring real excitement to our consumers. Our teeming consumers have been
supportive of the brand so we decided to say thank you them with this event.”
Agu added that the activation was conceived to encourage
consumers of Legend Extra Stout spread the word about Legend’s distinctive
quality. “With every sense of humility, we can say that there is no brand like
Legend in the country today because of its distinctive quality. We are using
this medium to encourage consumers to go all out and spread the word about
their favourite stout drink which is Legend,” he stated.
The Taste and Tell Activation, which has touched five
cities; Lagos, Benin, Owerri, Ibadan and Enugu will be moving to other cities
across the country.
