The tour continued till the Teslim Balogun stadium
where the Eagles were hosted to a concert with some of Nigeria’s best on stage.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive of Guinness Nigeria Plc Mr. Seni Adetu at
the Stadium announced that the team would be presented a total sum of $50,000
representing the earlier promised $5,000 for each goal scored from the team’s
2nd match against Zambia. The MD also mentioned that each member of the entire
team including the technical crew and staff would receive a year’s supply of
Guinness products in varying proportions
Performers at the Teslim Balogun Stadium concert
included Sound Sultan, Terry G, Mr Raw, Tu-face Idibia and Kola Soul, amongst
others.
Recall that Guinness affirmed its support for the
national team well ahead of the 2013 AFCON tournament and remained steadfast in
its resolve to galvanize support for the Eagles. The Guinness Fly with the
Eagles campaign offered 200 lucky Nigerians the opportunity to visit South
Africa and to cheer the Eagles on to victory. The brand went ahead to make a
clarion call to over 160 million fans to come out and sign their goodwill
message to the Super Eagles with the production of the world’s largest jersey,
which went on display in two key cities in Nigeria. Guinness in its drive to
ensure Nigerians watched all the matches live, established open fan parks for
football lovers. With the victory of the Eagles and the arrival of the cup in
Nigeria, the Guinness brand has once again demonstrated its passion for the
game by organizing the victory tour and celebration.
