Seven-Up Bottling Company, has re-launched Pepsi 60cl long throat bottle with “Big Big Tinz (Big Refreshment. Big Value)” as the official theme song for the campaign.
In a statement, the Senior Brand Manager of Seven-Up Bottling Company, Sam Okolie, noted that originally introduced in 2015, the Pepsi 60cl Longthroat bottle is back on shelves in Lagos, Ibadan, and Ilorin, offering consumers within these locations big refreshment, big value, and big flex. Okolie said:
“As a brand, we will continue to be at the forefront of driving contemporary pop culture, engaging the right partners and platforms to seed our message, drive connection, and dial-up affinity for the brand.
Crafting such a compelling message, ‘Big Big Tinz’ to communicate the re-launch of our 60cl throat bottle was a natural fit. Nigerians have a unique style of expressing their bold cravings, big desires, and dreams.
Tapping into the global hit song and popular street anthem allows us to entrench our message and the essence of the campaign – delivering big refreshments and Big Value.
Also, Pepsi is deeply rooted in Nigerian pop culture, and this theme song strengthens the brand’s connection with the consumers as they chase their big ambitions.”
Okolie added that Pepsi is rolling out an exciting experiential campaign, offering customers unique and memorable brand interactions in malls and other brand contact points.

NNPCL wants to sell 10% equity via IPO on NGX, LSE
NNPC is expected to spend at least the whole of 2027 preparing for the proposed offering, with the listing primarily intended to strengthen corporate transparency and governance in line with Nigerian law.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) is considering selling between 5% and 10% of its equity through a potential initial public offering (IPO), with the proposed listing expected to focus primarily on Nigeria’s domestic capital market.
The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd., Bashir Bayo Ojulari, disclosed this in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, adding that the company could also pursue a secondary listing in London or New York.
The disclosure comes shortly after the Dangote Petroleum Refinery’s IPO closed on October 27, following a two-week extension of its subscription period from the initial October 13 deadline.
NNPC is expected to spend at least the whole of 2027 preparing for the proposed offering, with the listing primarily intended to strengthen corporate transparency and governance in line with Nigerian law.
Ojulari indicated that raising additional capital would be a secondary consideration rather than the main reason for going public.
The company is also considering listing some of its subsidiaries separately, following a model adopted by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), the United Arab Emirates’ state-owned oil company.
Beyond the potential IPO, Ojulari disclosed that Chinese companies have expressed interest in acquiring equity stakes in some of NNPC’s smaller refineries, particularly the Port Harcourt and Warri facilities, which require substantial rehabilitation.
