COCA COLA: How They Are Killing Us Slowly In Nigeria by gentlekeny(m): 1:42pm On Mar 18, 2017
They are killing us slowly in Nigeria, and we do not know.
Apparently, for 9 years, a civil law case has been going on against Coca Cola Bottling Company, manufacturers of Fanta and Sprite, that impacts directly on our health and lives.

Let me try and paraphrase it, so una no go sleep off.
Basically, one Dr Fijabi, had in 2007, bought about N12 million worth of Fanta and Sprite drinks from Coca Cola Ltd, and exported same to the United Kingdom.

However, on reaching England, under Health and Safety regulations, the authorities tested the products and found them to contain "poisonous levels of Benzoic Acid and Sunset addictives" and were therefore declared "unfit for human consumption".

The whole export consignment was consequently destroyed.
Dr Fijabi therefore, sued Coca Cola for Negligence, breach of duty of care to its customers, and loss of earnings.
Fine.

Now comes the interesting part, so sit your yansh well :

The Almighty Coca Cola offered only one defence in court :
(1)That Mr Fijabi did not tell them he was going to Export the Fanta and Sprite to England;
(2)That they were indeed manufactured "FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION ONLY."
What
For local consumption?

Make I continue?? Hmmmmmmmmmm
So what Coca Cola Bottling Company is telling us, is that,
If they knew the Fanta and Sprite were to be exported to England, they would not have added so much poisonous acid;
But for the people of Nigeria, it is normal to poison us.
Chikena! Abasi!! Allah!!!!

That is the official courtroom statement of Coca Cola Bottling Company of Nigeria.
within the week, The Lagos High Court under Justice Adedayo Oyebanji, was 'crying' when She gave judgement against Coca Cola, declaring them callous and negligent.

She 'cursed the parents' of NAFDAC for not carrying out proper laboratory checks on 'minerals' production in Nigeria.
Cancer was listed as one of the ailments that the present Fanta and sprite can cause, especially if taken with Vitamin C tablets.
She therefore, ordered Coca Cola to henceforth add a WRITTEN WARNING on Fanta and Sprite bottles that

"this product must not be taken with Vitamin C."

Once again, Oyinbo has come to our rescue.
This is stuff you people in Nigeria should concern yourselves about,
Not whether Dollar has gone up or down.

The only part that got me really angry was the response... IT IS FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION, not for export.

What nonsense!

Are you saying we deserve less quality and more unsuitable composition than the whites? There should be an #occupyNBC movement. This is an insult to our existence and money
Re: COCA COLA: How They Are Killing Us Slowly In Nigeria by gentlekeny(m): 12:56am On Mar 19, 2017
There is one thing we need to note here:

(1)The people in the UK are same human being like us here in Nigeria.
If a product is unfit for consumption in the UK then it should be unfit too for consumption too in Nigeria.
ok...i know someone wants to say something but here is it....

If a British man comes to Nigeria and drinks the "Poisoned" Coca Cola product,
has he not drank something that if not good for human consumption?
Answer me o! Has he not?
Then what are the regulatory bodies doing?

Where are the activists?
We must march the streets and take off Coca-cola off the fridges in Nigeria.
''JUST A LOCAL BAN''

I knew it. The way people are just suffering from kidney diseases and cancer, it was obvious something was added to the food chain!
