Oh ok. I get you now. Since no one complains then it is not a crime

Well, I disagree. My question was whether demarketing is actually a crime.

I just used Reno as an example

I can turn your analogy round and say since MTN did not complain, it is probably not a crime

But here is a lady being accused of it

That's why I asked the question if de-marketing is a crime

Oh and for your example on arson, there's a reason Police go on patrol. If police catch an arsonist on patrol, they are not going to let him go simply because no one reported the arson

In your example, if the police arraign the arsonist in court and owner of the property testify in court against the police that none of his or her property was burnt, what do u think will be the outcome of the case?

UselessBuharist:
What’s the IG’s personal issue in this matter?

The woman didn’t criticise constructively though.

Why place her on watch list as if she committed a crime against the state.

They can’t place kidnappers and thief thief politicians on watch list oo, when it comes to ordinary citizens they will spread like butter on top bread

Being on a police watchlist does not necessarily mean you have committed a crime against the state. It can also mean that you are under investigation.




In the case of Mrs Egodi, she had been jumping bail, so they put her on a watchlist. If she manages to escape out of the country, law enforcement agencies elsewhere can see that she is under investigation.

zrocky:
she use *** it can mean any thing . Na just say she dey poor this is not a valid case in court

Tell us what it means

Orinechi:

And if the police show evidence of his property getting burnt through a CCTV for example, I hope you know the owner who lied in court will go to jail for perjury

Ijaya123:
Hmmm…This will only do more damage to the Erisco food brand.

Naturally, people will always side with the underdog and more so as this is perceived as bullying and unwarranted intimidation towards the lady, no body will go near that man’s product anytime soon.

Bytheway, what exactly does the man expect to get from the court? I think the man took the wrong advice.

Na your food! What is damaging than what she's being charged for?

Is it illegal to make a product review in Nigeria?

There are three things here
You don't know what a review is
You didn't read her comments and reply
You lack basic knowledge of the law

Kelklein:
Not surprised.. the Nigerian Police has shown over time that they are the protector of the rich, high and mighty..🤔🤔

As a common man, just be careful out there.. no go chook mouth for wetin no concern you..

The way I dey take watch erisco, them belong some kind of brotherhood of evil. The truth dey visible but dem dey use connections to water it down.

Kukutenla:

And he or she maintains , he or she is not the owner of the property in court.

The last two are correct. On the second point I read somewhere that she said the tomato contained too much sugar, I never really saw the original video. On the last point, the answer is what I'm trying to ascertain, no?

Trouble sleep yanga go wake am up. Smh.

Many of them are still online, criminally cyberbullying and trolling.

She should actually be investing in an amicable settlement with the Erisco man, Eric Umeofia, founder of Erisco Foods Limited, since she claimed that she did not have any ulterior motive, after all , we are all humans and we can err. Even the Bible counsel you to beg your adversary when you realise that you erred.

All she needs to do to understand how her adversary feels hurt is to place herself in the shoes of her adversary. It really hurts and she needs a measure of humility to come to that reality. It's easy to destroy but to build takes a lot of hardwork. The manner and route she used to give her feedback could have destroyed that man's business and sent him into bankruptcy and penury! She will not want such fate to befall her own business too nah.

The first time I read her comment on the brand, I knew she has gotten herself into avoidable trouble but never knew she'll let it degenerate to this level.

So sad. She should be given the opportunity to defend herself in court. I pray she gets out of the problem.

Is it illegal to make a product review in Nigeria?

It is not illegal. But truthfully, she didn't make a product review, she made an unfair review, especially when she told a relative of the brand to tell her brother to stop killing Nigerians.





For me, this is a case of libel. In Nigeria, libel can be a crime.





The only other charge I feel they truly have against her is cyberbullying.





Demarketing (or counter marketing) are ordinarily not crimes except fraud is roped into it.





I also don't see the reason for a charge of criminal conspiracy against her. Criminal conspiracy to do what? Demarket Erisco? Demarketing can be unsettling, but not a crime.





Organizations demarket their competitors every now and then, and it is considered a marketing strategy.

Angelfrost:


Absolutely not... Public reviews are acceptable and common place.

However, posting unverified or unverifiable information aimed at damaging the reputation of a corporation is not only frowned upon by Law, but viewed as criminal.

Reviews should be done with facts and objectivity.

I see.
And what did she say exactly that went outside objective review and into the realm of image damage? The articles I have read about the incident might have been oversimplifying the whole situation

Hi

The woman was granted bail after apologizing. She jumped bail and all efforts by the man who bailed to reach her were useless. She went into hiding accusing the police of forcing her to apologize.

Orinechi:
And he or she maintains , he or she is not the owner of the property in court.

Lol. How will he do that? Are the neighbours not aware of the owner of the property? Is the documents of the land not showing the owner?

You better don't go and be forming over-wise in court so you don't end up where you didn't expect.

You first claim none of your property got burnt. Then when you are shown video evidence of your house burning, you claim you are not the owner of the house. You have added contempt of court to your perjury offence. Your days go long for jail

melodyogonna:

There is no smoke without fire... She clearly said that the product is sugary and has killed or led to the death of people.

That is not review... That is defamation.

If all she did was objectively and respectfully review the product, there would have been neither fuss nor legal issues.

She is not the first to review a product online, and she won't be the last.

Even since her arrest and legal troubles, people have been reviewing products, services, etc online... Like Movies for example.

You just summarised the point I've been trying to pass across since

Nigerian Police can be so frivolous at times.

They are so fond of doing that even up to EFCC that they end up losing most cases they institute.

De-marketing? How's that a crime?!!

Who leaked this letter?, how did it get leaked?

melodyogonna:

She said that? Lmao, what?! Interesting, the things I have seen are really oversimplification then

Yes, she did.



Her original post was in order. She wrote about buying a new tomato paste brand and found it too sugary. Then, she threw a question to her followers, wondering whether any of them had used the brand and whether they found it sugary too. In fact, she even wrote that perhaps she had brought a fake of the product or an expired one. It was great at this point.





But then, as the comments came in, she began to lose herself, and to take it personal. She began to lose her neutral position.





Then, someone claiming to be a sister of the owner of the tomato brand asked Chioma to stop spoiling her brother's business.





Chioma's foolish reply to this person was: "Tell your brother to stop killing Nigerians."





Perhaps, she didn't mean it that way. But that wasn't made with wisdom. A weighty accusation that many people will not take with arms folded.

They are frivolous most of the time. If I were on Twitter, they could even arrest us for describing them as frivolous.





They have too much time on their hands, honestly.

Let's how this turns out....

It may turn our positive or negative for the lady...
But then why can't Erisco forgive his kinswoman?

Make you and your Erisco kukuma kill the lady na.

What happens to inviting her to you production plant, give her a tour of the facility and production and show her no sugar is used in the process.

Let her even make advert for you and make post recommending the product.

As far as I am concerned, I am still boycotting ALL Erisco products cos of this.

We want the freedom of the west but we gag ourself and hope for it.

Interesting to see Erisco has a case after all. This is the first time I'm seeing that she said the product was killing people, every article I've read on the issue just mentioned the part she was being objective.

Nairaland don follow cashout on this one.. see sponsored comments kpa

johnog4sure:
wetin she do?

She made a review on Erisco Tomato Mix, she complained that the sugar content of the product is on high side, and she quoted that the product is killing people and said other unnecessary things she wasn't supposed to talk about. So the table turned against her.

Timetravel88:


So you think an Igbo man who rose from the ashes of the Biafran war to build a multi billion naira manufacturing business in a country where businesses struggle to break even is not an underdog. If you don’t, think again

lol…such fairy tale. So the business man is your underdog and the lady is the stronger force here?

Talking about aftermath of the civil war, let me help you with some historical facts.

Maybe you should ask your political leaders if they still have a good sense of history, what they did with the 950,000 British pounds Awolowo was giving to them every month after taxing his own people so as to enable the Igbos to integrate back into the society after the civil war.

This is a clear case of "you talk anyhow, you see anyhow."

What if the property doesn't have valid documents and the neighbours refuse to show up or testify against of the police as well?
