Coca-Cola In Nigerian Court Over Half-Empty Cans

Johannesburg - Nigeria is taking Coca-Cola to court for allegedly refusing to comply with orders from the Consumer Protection Council over two half-empty cans of Sprite. Attorney General Mohammed Bello Adoke filed suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday against Coca-Cola Nigeria and its chief executive for criminal breach of the Consumer Protection Act.

He accuses Coca-Cola of "deliberately failing, refusing and/or neglecting to comply "with orders to appear before the council and subject their manufacturing processes to its inspection. The infractions carry jail terms of three to five years. Coca-Cola did not immediately
respond. The consumer council in February warned Coca-Cola that Nigeria was not a "dumping ground for substandard products" and noted complaints about rusty cans, rusty bottle tops and foreign particles in beverages. - AP

This is very interesting but maybe Coca Cola has refused to settle the AG's office. It is rare to see the AG concerning himself about serious issues like this. Mtn and other foreign companies keep ripping us off everyday and despite the tons of complaints the AG's office never even bats an eyelid. This case will never lead anywhere...they will settle it behind the scenes as usual while the consumers are literally hung out to dry. smh

They are not stu.pid. LOL
They know too much of anything is bad.
Especially with their 33cubes of sugar per bottle of mineral they produce.

They have contributed immensely to the growth of diabetes in the country. (say 78% contribution)

Knowing fully well that, the more the quantity, the more the sugar content.
They have therefore decided to reduce the quantity in order to enhance proper quality.
grin cheesy
And you are here complaining.

FatBOyChuka:
MTN nko?

MTN's high fees have a lot more to do with the state of infrastructure supporting the GSM network in Nigeria...especially NEPA.

Until we have light 24/7....and a proper fiber-optic backbone....we will have high MTN bills.
