My goodness: Nigeria overtakes Ireland in Guinness sales (http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,2159400,00.html)
Nigeria has overtaken Ireland as the second-largest market for Guinness as Diageo pushes the black stuff internationally.
Although the world's biggest drinks company did not reveal precise numbers, it said net sales of Guinness in the year ending June 30 were up 18% in Nigeria.
Strong growth across Africa helped to make up for a decline in Britain - the stout's biggest market - and Ireland. Guinness sales fell 7% in Ireland and the volume drunk fell by 9%. In Britain, sales fell 4% as consumption dropped 6%.
After reading Armagh4SamAgain's post on the GAA Board Pub thread I'm not surprised!
