    Legend has empowered me, says promo winner

    As more winners emerge in the on-going Legend Extra Stout Taste and Tell campaign, Abdulrahman Shehu, a motorcycle operator who is the latest winner of a generator in Ilorin  said he will restart his barbing shop with his prize.

    Narrating his ordeal before winning the generator, Abdulrahman stated that after his internship as a barber a couple of months back, there was no money to buy a generator to power his barbing shop. Hence, he veered into riding commercial motor bike (Okada) to raise money to buy one for his trade.

    A few  months down the line, he still could not afford a generator but his dream came true when he won a generator at the Ilorin leg of the promo held in the city.

    There were many winners but 26-year-old Abdulrahman appeared to be the happiest because a pressing need had been met.

    Speaking reporters, he said he was deeply touched by the fortune that came his way. “I am very happy today because I have always wanted a generator for my  shop. Power is not constant and because of that, if you don’t have a generator, you can’t do the type of business I do. So I decided to lease and ride okada to raise money for the generator but today because of Legend, I now have a generator for my business,” he said.

    He said he was excited to go back to his shop given the risks he had been exposed to while riding commercial motorcycle. Abdulrahman expressed appreciation to the brewery firm  for empowering him through the campaign. He said the unique consumer reward scheme has saved him from the hazards of okada business and pledged to continue patronising the brand. Abdulrahman, alongside Ayo Samuel was able to taste and correctly identify Legend Extra Stout from three unmarked glasses containing three different stout brands in the game. Ayo Samuel won a refrigerator for his effort.

    Similarly, other participants who correctly answered question relating to the brand in a question and answer session that night won prizes including LED television sets and other consolation prizes.
