  • Legend promo winners relish Dubai shopping experience

    Legend promo winners relish Dubai shopping experience

    As their plane touched down, some winners of the Legend Extra Stout promo who were travelling for the first time, marvelled at the electrifying ambience of Dubai, the most visited city in the United Arab Emirate (UAE).

    With its sprawling architectural edifice, malls and skyscrapers, there is no better way to connect consumers than an all-expense-paid trip to world tourist destination.

    However, from the experiences shared by the winners of the Legend Extra Stout Real Deal National Promo, the trip to Dubai has deepened their affinity with the Legend Extra Stout brand, no doubt.

    In the heart at the desert safari, they visited various exciting spots. Their first touch-point was the Falcon spot where they learnt a few things about the Falcon from an expert Falconer who also entertained them with exciting Falcon displays. Next was the Sunset photo Spot where they had fun running up and down the dunes, taking photographs and watching the sun set in the middle of the Arabian Desert.

    A bus driver in Ibadan, Oyo State, Stephen Ajayi, said the trip to Dubai was not all about the shopping or the N1million worth shopping spree given to them by Nigerian Breweries but the new experience the promo has given him which he never dreamt of.

    “I have never owned an international passport before. I have never travelled by air in my life not to talk of leaving the shores Nigeria. But Legend has made it all happen to me free. I value the exposure and experience more than the items I picked,” he said.

    He was part of the second set of winners of Legend Extra Stout on-going Real Deal National Consumer Promo, to Dubai.

    The new set emerged at various draws a fortnight ago and was flown to Dubai to shop for items worth N1 million in one of Dubai’s biggest malls.

    A carpenter Olusegun Ogunbiade, who emerged a lucky winner from Port Harcourt, described the experience as enlightening. “Legend has elevated my thinking. I now have a better estimation of myself. That something I never imagined will come within my reach. Legend has made possible free. It has been a VIP treatment right from my base in Port Harcourt down to Dubai,” he said.

    A civil servant from Delta State, Emmanuel Ogunje, who went with his wife, said he would not forget the promo in a hurry. For him, it was a case of killing two birds with one stone. “This is one experience I will remember for a long time. First, it helped me overcome the fear for travelling by air and secondly, it gave my wife whom I took along, the opportunity to explore Dubai for the business she has always wanted to go into.”

    Some of the winners said if the N1million had been given to them, it wouldn’t have been better. Chinonyerem Eleleme, a teacher, said he would sell some of the goods he bought in Dubai. He plans to sell some of the things that he bought to raise money to start his own small business.

    A 21-year-old student of the Federal Polytechnic, Okoh Jephtha Chukwuoti, also expressed gratitude to Legend Extra Stout for giving him the his first-time travelling experience, adding that it would sustain his bond with the Legend brand.

    During the visit, the winners also visited the Camel Spot where they rode on camel and capped off the day’s adventure at the Bedouin-style camp being entertained by a Belly Dancer while they enjoyed a three course Arabic dinner.

    The Legend Dubai Promo is its third and final phase. In addition, Legend Extra Stout is also giving out instant airtime worth N300 million.
