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

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.

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

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.
