Why Are Nigerians Drinking More Beer Since President Buhari Became President? by Orikinla(m): 11:15am On Aug 19, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari is a confirmed Muslim and all strict Muslims are against consumption of alcohol. So, every strict Muslim should be a teetotaller.
Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo is a confirmed ordained Pastor of the popular Pentecostal Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) that also forbids their pastors from consumption of alcohol.
But since their election and inauguration on May 29, 2015, reports have shown that more Nigerians have been drinking beer than before despite the complaints of economic hardship by many Nigerians.
Are Nigerians suffering and smiling again like the popular song of the legendary King of Afro Beat music, Fela Kuti of blessed memory?


Nigeria’s economy has been battered in the last six months as the country reels from the effects of low oil prices and a currency slide. Nigerians are feeling the brunt as jobs have been cut and businesses closed down.

To make matters worse, the country, Africa’s largest oil producer, is also in the grip of one of its worst fuel scarcity and power shortage difficulties.

Yet, despite all this, first quarter results from Heineken show Nigerians are consuming more beer than at the same time last year despite the harsh times.

The Dutch brewery announced that organic consolidated beer volume grew 4.6% across the Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe regions with Nigeria being a major driver of that growth. In its statement, Heineken says excluding Nigeria, volume would have been down for the region.
