Legend Extra Stout Brings Entertainment To Ipaja In Lagos

It was a night to remember for residents of Ipaja area of Lagos as Legend Extra Stout brought its legendary Real Deal Experience (RDE) to Abesan Estate, Ipaja.

The Real Deal Experience, which is an entertainment initiative organised by Legend Extra Stout has often provided an opportunity for the brand and its loyal consumers to have a rewarding and exciting interaction.

The show featured Nigeria’s biggest entertainers and a host of other exciting side attractions.

Mr. Emmanuel Agu, Portfolio Manager – Mainstream Lager And Stout Brands NB Plc, informs that the show, as the name suggests, is a blend of engaging, thrilling and rewarding catalogue of activities, music, comedy, role play, brand education, eulogy, games, prizes and lots more, aimed at guaranteeing the satisfaction of all attendees.

It was jointly hosted by Ifu Ennada, former BBNaija 2018 housemate and De Don.“In our usual tradition of giving the best of entertainment to Nigerians, we ensure that the Legend Real Deal Experience is organised to suit the local audience.

We achieve this by identifying what our audience can most relate with and then theme our show around this.

In light of this, RDE next edition will feature street pop sensations – Slim Case and Mr Real.”

According to Agu, “Legend Extra Stout, like its sister brands in the stables of Nigerian Breweries Plc, appreciates the loyalty it enjoys from its teeming consumers and is always on the lookout on ways to show this appreciation.

“Legend Extra Stout, as a brand, understands the role that outdoor entertainment plays in the lives of its consumers, hence its adoption of the fun-filled entertainment package it put together and tagged, the Legend Real Deal Experience.”

He noted that some of the highlights in the planned event includes the Taste, Tell and Win competition that saw some members of the audience go home with exciting prizes like refrigerators, generators, televisions, face caps, t-shirts, and free drinks, “Besides giving the residents of the city an unforgettable experience with music and entertainment, the Real Deal Experience also provides for the brand a good opportunity to directly interact with its consumers wherever we go.”

Agu said that, over the years, Legend Extra Stout has taken the Real Deal experience to different cities including Lagos, Onitsha, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Aba, and Owerri and has featured some of Nigeria’s biggest entertainers including Timaya, Kcee, Oritsefemi, Small Doctor as well as other regional sensations like the Obiligbo Brothers, Mr Raw and a host of others.

In one of the editions, which held in Onitsha, the Obiligbo Brothers, the reigning stars of Highlife music in the South-East region, took to the stage and rendered melodic tunes and pulsating beats to the enthusiastic crowd who gathered at the Christmas carnival ground, Elekahia road, beside elekahia police post, in Port Harcourt.

The duo, whose real names are Ifeanyi and Chukwuebuka Obiligbo, reeled out songs from their old and new albums to thrill the audience.

Ifediora Azubuike, a Port Harcourt-based veteran music lover, who attended the event, was all praises to the organisers of the event.

He said “This event transported me to the good old days when the big names in highlife music used to do regular weekend shows in this same city.

“Those days we used to look forward to the likes of Osita Osadebe, Ali Chukwuma, Oliver De Coque and many others every weekend.

“I commend Legend Extra Stout for this nostalgic event which memory would last a long time,” he said.

Azubuike is not alone in this belief as everyone who has been privileged to attend any of the Real Deal Experience, making round the major cities of the country, has some good to say about the initiative.

Emeka Nwora, a trader in the Onitsha Main Market, said: “I usually hang out in a good resort and watch local bands render good highlife music every weekend.

“I have really been thrilled this evening. It has been an evening of fun and merriment. It is like going on a date on someone else’s pocket.”

One of the highlights of the Onitsha event was the identification of Chief Godwin Okeke, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of G.U. Okeke and Sons Ltd as a legend in the city.

He was presented with the brand’s torch of greatness as a mark of honour for his tenacity which made for the various successes he has recorded in business.

“Like the Onitsha, Port Harcourt and Aba editions of the Real Deal Experience, the Ipaja edition was equally exciting as Slim Case and Mr Real and other A-list entertainers thrilled the good people of Ipaja,” concluded Agu, the Portfolio Manager – Mainstream Lager & Stout Brands of the NB Plc
