That's why you're a bigot. You can accept oppression as long as the oppressor is from your tribe. A trademark of eternal bigots. And no, stop dragging yoruba into your personal ideology.

The law is blind and doesn't care. Even in the abroad.

The owner of the puree was also interviewed by CNN, he said he would rather die than let someone tarnish the image he spent 40 years to build.

Chioma fvcked around and found out. She even dared erisco to take him to court. She could have just left a review and moved on like we all do on amazon or some other merchant website. Even amazon has a warning label about not leaving a dodgy or fake review.

Instead Chioma started talking about how the tomato puree could kill people to her 11,000 followers on Facebook. She is an influencer and knows what she was doing.

Playing the victim card as usual. The western world is too sympathetic to women, children girl child, pregnant women, gays, lesbians and transexuals. Now it is like the law is against you if you are none of these.



Don't mind the silly OP. Let her face the law. Reddit, CNN, Amnesty International are not above the law. Although I see her getting freed. But she should be taken to court.
Do you understand the implications of Erisco food action on their brand?
First mistake was arresting her, it's a civil matter not a criminal matter.
Secondly they could have handled the situation amicably and in a reasonable manner.
Won't you defeat your enemy by making them your friend?

he isn't reaping any reward let's be sincere with ourselves I don't support the previous comment up there but if someone says your products killed people. Won't it be logical for her to show proofs of the people it killed, she had ample time to take down such post, her case is similar to that of vdm when you say sumtin endeavour to have proof so you can back up your claims. Now she is saying she is pregnant, I hope the man let go but its getting out of hand now and she herself caused it not erisco because you can lay complain but don't ruin people's business because if its your you won't take it also.
She is an influencer and told her 11,000 followers that the tomatoes was killing people. That's madness.

Redit and Redditor go finish this people.

Here is my take on this matter, Erisco got it wrong by using police to arrest the lady; Why because this is a civil matter not a criminal case.Erisco Coming out to justify their action of using law enforcement to arrest her is even more damaging than the act of arresting her, the statement of seeking law enforcement advise if it's a criminal matter or a Civil matter should be advised by their legal adviser not the law enforcement agency.

Looking forward
Two things could play out in court, the easy one will be to settle out of court. The easier one is to continue and wait for the court to pass a judgement; which if the judgement doesn't favor Erisco they go to a higher court.

I guess they(Erisco) have a deep pocket but dumb legal advisory team, any which way they will loose even when they win. The brand name is a gonna, they should go float another company with another name and image.

A Drop Of Honey Attracts More Flies Than a Gallon of Poison.

Alot of people on Reddit don't even have access to the product. They are mostly based in USA and Canada. Most just went of the headline and started leaving bad reviews on google.

Nigerians that are the actual don't care or read product reviews. Most of the youths in Nigeria instigating a mob action against the company are not the major or key account customers of tomato puree products. Restaurants are.

I agree with your worst case scenario. The company if at all affected severely will just slap a different label on the cans.

Honestly, if Erisco had kept quiet and not do a thing, no matter the noise around the review, it would had fizzled out within 3 days.

Majority of us wouldn't have known or heard anything about her review.

be reasonable mister. Don't complicate things. SON & NAFDAC verified these said products and said it isn't harmful but she arrogantly made that statement without thinking about its implications because people were hyping her. I hope the case is trashed out soon besides cancer has been existing before we were born, even diseases worse than cancer exist but in this case she shot herself on the foot making a statement without having credible proof just like vdm saying saying DIGs are doing tombo tombo with bobrisky. If it were poor man to poor man patapata we go blow ourselves.

this issue wouldn't have fizzled out because she herself made sure everything went out of hand because they told her to take down the post but she refused insisting it killed people haba now. Look at the engagement that comment had. If it were a male that made such statement, do you think they wouldnt have dealt with him more,at times women need to understand that they have to watch their tongue or what they post to ruin other people because the repercussion could b3 severe irrespective of this their victim mentality. She made a false statement about a company saying its products kill people, if it were your company how would you feel. Let's be sincere with ourselves.

When money is involved SON abd Nafdac will be very happy to tell you that snipper is safe for consumption.. I stopped taking nafdac serious since Late Dora of blessed memory left that agency. I have worked in a company where product expires, they will clean the expiring date on the products and put a new one. I have bought products which hasn't expired ,but the content will be bad. So oga forget noise,I am still not doubting this lady. Many of these companies doesn't care about your health,they are after their money.. The reason why this lady is passing through all these is because she is not as rich as Ericsco..

Dont let the western media scatter Nigeria, these guys are more corrupt than we are,

Nigeria should learn a lesson from this, set up a NAFDAC and Consumer protection Bureau to handle claims.

We need businesses and sometimes people are mischievous, it could have been Erisco's competition setting him up. Erisco spent billions to set up a tomato processing plant probably also took on big loans. There are people whose rent, school fees, livelihood depend on Erisco. So for one person to defame/slander their business overnight is not good either. For those who do business, we all know there is a period you are very fragile while building your brand.

The case should be settled, Chioma should be made to prove her allegations, if she cant she should be charged for slander and loss od revenue to Erisco.

Both parties deserve fair treatment.[/b]

He was not found dead the next day. Haba! Where did you get this your fake news from? Someone who granted interview was the person who was found dead the next day?

I didn't even know about this post until Erisco make it a big deal just like millions of others.

The company principal acting in the from line of this event will do the company more harm than good. He would be sentimental thinking of his investment in the business.

Business risk are unavoidable and you fair best as a coy if you're able to to predict them to a degree of accuracy.

The Coy principal need to know one or to about corporate governance.

Honestly, he and his management team especially his corporate communications and marketing team are foolish. They could have used this issue to their advantage without prosecuting Chioma.

I knew it will definitely go against Erisco. Majority of consumers will definitely support Chioma even without reviewing the product themselves. Note, it is easy to see fault than establishing a product's positive side in cases like this.

yes na ogun go kill people supporting evil people but she was wrong saying the product is killing people and I am certain she said it then because I saw the post and she was told to take down the post but she refused. Yes some products have defects but she made a very wrong statement and if she had calmed herself down to have a rethink she won't be in this mess.

You go school? Where is "killing"? What if she meant "kidding"? Are you in her mind?

Also, "ki***ing" is 8 character, "killing" is 7. But if we're to go by your logic, then "kidding" too should be just fine. See definition at screenshot below
