bhmng: The World’s First Tequila Flavoured Beer, Desperados Spreads Its Wings Across Nigeria
Abuja, Ibadan, Enugu, and Owerri have now joined the list of cities where Desperados, the world’s first tequila flavoured beer can be enjoyed following a rollout across the country.
In December 2020, Nigerian Breweries Plc officially unveiled the Desperados beer brand as the latest addition to its huge portfolio of alcoholic beverages boasting renowned brands such as Heineken, Star Lager Beer, Life Continental Beer, Legend Extra Stout, and 33 Export Lager. The unveiling which took place in Lagos attracted a good number of fun-loving young Nigerians who were hosted an exclusive launch event to celebrate the brand and highlight its many iconic attributes.
Desperados was born out of wild experimentation in France nearly three decades ago, which produced a new beer brand that combines the sharp taste of tequila with a lemony beer taste. Now sold in more than 50 countries around the world, the brand is not just known for its unique tequila flavour but the adventurous and daring consumer experiences it unlocks for its vibrant community as well.
Speaking on the new city rollouts, Portfolio Manager, Flavoured Craft & Beer, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Sarah Agha, explained that with the brand now available in five cities across the country, more beer lovers can expect to enjoy the premium taste of Desperados tequila beer. She added that “this launch is not like every other launch, but represents an induction of these cities to a more daring lifestyle through which we hope to help our consumers in these cities rewrite the rules for what they call fun.”
With rollouts in these four cities and more cities to follow in the coming weeks, Desperados will be aiming to grow its trybe of confident and dynamic party lovers, who it has been known to provide with very fun and disruptive experiences using music, intimate parties, and art forms.
Resurrection212: Just look at our region everywhere is smelling and deserted.
In the whole of southeast region no giant company and no foreign investors. I ask my friends why Dangote not have company in the whole of southeast he said because he hate igbo. I asked myself why everybody's must hate us.
We can't even boasts of one state that our governor's both former and present governor governed. We said southeast president will go a long way in Nigeria like how can we really do more than what our present governor's are doing.
What surprised me most. Is southwest and north despite the controversial btw them north are still talking of Yoruba president. Who do we offended in this country.

Kzinne: Calabar is considered as the first capital of Nigeria because it served as the first capital of the Southern Protectorate, the Oil River Protectorate, and Niger Coast Protectorate. This was until the late nineteenth century, when the administrative centre of the Southern protectorate was moved to Lagos in 1906.
Calabar is not considered as the first capital of Nigeria because it was never capital of Nigeria. Nigeria was creater in 1914 with the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates.
Kzinne: All these talk of Lagos is where it is because it was once capital. Let Abuja stop been a federal capital today after all the trillions spent and see if it will survive. For the developers information, Calabar was once federal capital too
frog12: She speaks fluently than Ngozi but that is not important. you did not answer the previous questions we asked since you know the hiistory very well
I repeat, what the hell does this have to do with Ngozi??
She was only environment minister for around a year (she was appointed in November 2015), during which time she secured agreement for the Ogoni cleanup, but then the UN came calling in December 2016.
BlackPantherxXx: Hi Naptu, I respect all your work here and I appreciate your encyclopedic grasp of current(&past) affairs. You have answered some of my questions on military history.
My question is : I read somewhere that she doesn't have a University degree. I checked everywhere online and didnt see any trace.
Is it true?
I don't know if she has a university degree. I only know (this is from a 2005 memory) that she attended Henley Business School.
Amina Mohammed did not just surface as Nigeria's minister of the environment.
She was working with the United Nations on their Millenium Development Goals project when President Olusegun Obasanjo brought her back to Nigeria to be his special assistant on Millenium Development Goals.
At that time President Obasanjo was head hunting certain Nigerians that lived abroad, e.g. Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Professor Charles Soludo and Ambassador Oluyemi Adeniji. Amina was one of the people that he brought back to Nigeria.
Part of her job then was to use some of the money that we saved from debt forgiveness to work on rural development, girl child education, etc.
At that time her name was Amina Az Zubair. I don't know why it changed.
She went back to working with the United Nations, she lectured at Columbia University and she also worked with the Gates Foundation after Obasanjo left office.
(I remember that she also served the Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan administrations in some form, I think as special adviser on sustainable development goals).
President Buhari brought her back again to work as minister of the environment before the UN took her again.
mmsen: She was barely in government, she jumped ship at the first opportunity.
Not really. She worked in the Obasanjo and Yar'Adua administrations before leaving government to work in international organisations. She briefly returned to government and then left again.
