I drank Coke this evening, it seems it had only colouration!

Great move Mr governor.

divinehand2003:
Apparently worried by reports alleging that some soft drinks in the country could be dangerous to health, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State on Tuesday banned the serving and consumption of Coke, Sprite and Fanta at government functions in the state.

The governor gave the directive during a meeting with traditional rulers and town union executives in the state.

A Lagos State High Court in a suit between Fijabi Adebo Holdings Limited and Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo against the Nigerian Bottling Company Ltd and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, alleged that Fanta Orange and Sprite may be hazardous if consumed with vitamin C.

The court said the drinks may contain high levels of two additives, benzoic acid and sunset yellow, which may be dangerous for human consumption.

But the Nigerian Bottling Company, NBC, debunked the allegations maintaining that the amount of the chemicals in its products, including Fanta and Sprite, were within Nigerian regulatory standards.

Also, an investigation by the Consumer Protection Council, CPC, found that the level of benzoic acid in Fanta and Sprite were within the Nigerian approved standard. Instead, the CPC, found that benzoic acid levels in two other non-NBC products, Lucozade and Mirinda, had much higher contents than that approved by Nigerian regulators.

The CPC has since called for fresh investigation of all soft drinks sold in Nigeria.

The confusion on the status of the drinks may have informed the decision of the Ebonyi governor.

Mr. Umahi on entering the governor’s lodge, venue of the Tuesday meeting, noticed the soft drinks on the tables.

Immediately he got to his seat, he requested for the microphone while still standing.

He then proceeded to ask the rushers to remove all bottles of coke, sprite and fanta from the hall as according to him, they are dangerous to health

“I don’t want these brands of soft drink to be served in any government function again”, he warned.

Immediately, the ushers and protocol officers evacuated the drinks from the tables out of the hall.

Bad market for dem..

No matter the propaganda Coca cola will always sell. It is an international organization bro. Nothing like bad market. I and most other people drink Coke every other day. Go to fast food outlets and see the number coke, Fanta, or sprite consumed daily.

Really? shiit! now that one have gone and bought a whole trailer load of soft drinks

okay, no wahala! make una no run o! when I come

Cocacola parked out of Ebonyi State because of heavy tax the govt placed on them. This is remote cause of that order. It is not that the governor cares so much about the health of his people, it is a tranfered aggression. Last week a bottle of big coke was sold for 120 naira in Abakaliki because of its scarcity.

Hmm nawa oo, make I see the next state wey go follow before I talk wetin dey my mind.

see nbc oo..does nija have standard,abeg we want international standard or else bad market for una oo

Celcius:
...within Nigerian regulatory standards?
Please Nigeria has a knack for getting it wrong. Let's go with international regulatory standards with these sodas.

There is nothing like international standard wen it comes to things like this. Every country decides for itself depending on factors peculiar to it... This is an obvious overreaction from the Ebonyi state government
