Our consumers are at the heart of what we do” said ‘Rob Hobart, Marketing Director for Guinness Nigeria Plc “and delighting them is what we will always strive to do”.
“As a brand, we realize that the Nigerian consumer is a restless go getter- one whose boldness is fueling a progressive, new spirit of Africa, the brand and the embodiment of this mindset is successfully putting itself right at the centre of this movement”
Knowing how passionate Nigerians are about music and football and how they fully give themselves to these passions without inhibitions, we launched “Match Day Made Of Black”- to create totally different and amazing football

We’re looking for fans Made of Black – fans who go above and beyond to demonstrate their passion for their favourite team. We want to find the fans who don’t just wear their team colours, they live them; the fans whose goal celebrations are more emotional than the players; these are the fans Made of Black who we want to recognise and celebrate.”
