Depressed consumer,8 others win legend stouts N1 million dubai shopping voucher

What are the odds of your raffle ticket being picked to shop with a million naira in Dubai, when, on a night that you were so depressed you decided to visit a bar to lift up your spirit? The odds certainly worked in favour of Mr. Temitope Ogunyemi, as he has emerged as one of the star prize winners in the on-going Legend Real Deal National Consumer Promotion. Mr. Temitope Ogunyemi is part of the first set of consumers that have been picked to travel to Dubai, where he will have the chance of shopping for items worth N1 million within 60 seconds, in one of Dubai’s biggest shopping malls.

 

Mr. Ogunyemi, who was dazed on realizing that he’s been picked, stated that he had not gone to hang out in any bar in over five months.
The first raffle draw to pick winners for Legend’s Unique Dubai Shopping Experience was held at De Dems Bar. Other winners that emerged via an electronic raffle draw were: James Nweke from Kano; Akoji Oche John from Abuja; Solomon Okorike from Imo State; Uchechukwu Dennis Chukwu from Ebonyi; Nwabuokei Ikechukwu Ambrose from Delta State; Oluwasuyi Kelvin Olubusuyi from Ado Ekiti; Aghedo Cyril Sadiq Ehinoria from Lagos and Austin Nwadife, also from Lagos.
Recounting the circumstances surrounding his emergence, Mr. Ogunyemi said: “I didn’t want to go out this Friday night because I was depressed; but my friends persuaded me to come along to De Dems, luring me with the on-going promo. I never believed I could win, but I just decided to try my luck. I strongly longed for the trip inside of me, because I had never travelled out of the country before. I would like to thank Legend for this wonderful opportunity it has extended to us consumers to travel to Dubai. The one million naira shopping experience is the icing on the cake.”
Mr. Austin Nwadife, another winner of the Dubai Unique Shopping Experience, also said he had never left the shores of the country before. In his words, “It took me four bottles of Legend Extra Stout to claim this victory. I was aiming for a TV set or refrigerator originally, but I didn’t know God had a greater plan for me. I’ve never believed in promos all my life. I used to say that it was all fraud and scam. But tonight, my excitement is already telling my story as you can all see.”
Mr. Nwadife, who is an aluminium fabricator in Dopemu Akowonjo, confessed that it was his wife that made him go to the bar. He remarked: “I didn’t plan to come out this night, but my wife insisted I must take the family out. After a lot of pressure, I yielded, and we decided to come to De Dems Park. We didn’t even know a promo was going on there, until we entered the premises and saw the place filled up. When it was time for the raffle draw, my name was announced as one of the winners that will go to Dubai. I am dedicating this victory to my wife.”
The night also witnessed the emergence of some winners who claimed instant prize gifts which are also up for grabs in the Legend Real Deal promo. Oladimeji Bankole, a structural engineer; Godwin Agi, a civil engineer; and Bolude Adebisi, who works with a global media company, each carted home 32 inch LCD TV sets. Gbenga Ogunsote, another civil engineer, won a 130 litre refrigerator. Speaking on his winning, Ogunsote said: “I feel great for winning this refrigerator just after buying and drinking a bottle of Legend Extra Stout. I didn’t know about the promo. I just strolled into the bar to enjoy a bottle of drink, and I am walking away with a brand new refrigerator.”
Mr Emmanuel Agu, Marketing Manager, Gulder, Legend and Life, Nigerian Breweries Plc, described the excitement from the consumers as testimony that the Legend Extra Stout Real Deal Promo is real.
In the words of Mr. Agu said, “I am not surprised that consumers are excited tonight. This is because whatever Legend says it will do, it must do. And for those who are still in doubt, the consumers that have won tonight speak volumes of the opportunities that abound in the promo. The opportunity is in the hands of the consumers. Use the powers that you have, go down to your favourite bars, buy bottles of Legend, open the crown cork and what you see is what you get. The promotion is just a few days old, we have till the end of June for this promo, so there’s a lot of time for you to participate and be part of those that may win the trip to Dubai.”
The highlight of the occasion was the presentation of prizes to the winners by popular hip hop artiste, 9ice, of the Gongo Aso fame. The compere of the day was De Don. The Legend Real Deal promo, which kicked off on May 1, will end on June 30.
