Guinness celebrates Made of Black Heroes in Lagos; have you nominated your own MOB Hero?

The buzz is on; a lot of people have been nominating their heroes and we have been seeing some amazing stories. The Guinness team was on the street to celebrate some of the inspiring stories so far The amazing man who goes out every day to sweep the pedestrian bridge at Anthony Bus stop on Ikorodu road.



He wakes up early everyday and ensures that the bridge is clean despite his circumstance. If you live around that area, you must have seen him at one time or the other. His name is Adekunle Adebisi and he was nominated by a good citizen who has long admired him on a daily basis. His nomination called out the cheer and zeal with which has carried out the sweeping duty in the last 12 years.

He is definitely Made of Black. Another nominee that got loads of nominations on the Table of Men radio show is Mrs Josephine Okeme.

This policewoman works tirelessly everyday just to ensure there is a free flow of traffic at St. Agnes Junction, Onike Yaba.

She does this effortlessly and people believe she is truly Made of Black. She got loads of nominations from appreciative citizens who all agree she’s got the Made of Black attitude.


The Guinness team went out there to celebrate these amazing people! To appreciate and recognize their dedication, courage and can do attitude. This is definitely what Made of Black is all about.


It is about everyday people, doing ordinary things in extra ordinary ways. Do you know anyone out there who typifies the Made of Black attitude, then log onto www.Facebook.com/GuinnessNigeria and on Twitter @guinnessvip, and nominate your Made of Black hero not forgetting to include the hash tag #madeofblack Remember you have to be 18 years and above to participate.

    Most times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
    But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough.
    But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
    God will definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, guys. Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to LIVE and EAT!
