Doesn't matter because the lady does not have resources or time to engage a lawyer of her own. This is simply bullying.
With the reaction of people to the whole issue, the lady would probably see lawyers who would offer their services to defend her for free sef.

See
But the CEO reached out to the woman in private for clarity and she ignored/blocked. If it gets to court the tiktoker will be forced to provide the bread makers she was referring to in her videos plus I think the bread brand showed in the video.
That's not how the law works.

The onus of proof is on the plaintiff who must prove beyond reasonable doubt that her brand was defamed.

If you claim someone has defamed your brand and you decide to sue that person, you must prove :

1. That a defamatory stament/false stament was made

2. That the defamatory was referring to you

3. That the defamatory stament was published.

How will you prove the lady was referring to you when she didn't mention your brand name or show your brand in the video?

This new movie on Netflix "180" is a good watch and a cautionary tale for people with anger issues.

Personal Opinion : I strongly believe the south African movie industry is miles ahead of Nigerian movie industry/nollywood as far as story telling, cinematography and even continuity is concerned.

Exactly, lawyers will 9 out of 10 times encourage clients to sue cause that's guaranteed money, na she suppose use sense know what's appropriate.
What do you expect bro? Course wey person use 5 years in the university and 1 year in law school to study.... Dem come see opportunity to make money out of it (whether they win the Case or not) ; do u expect them to advise her not to sue?

Normally mugu must fall and guyman must chop am! 😁

I did think the woman mentioning keeping bread for 2 whole months was a bit off. I mean what are you keeping bread for 2 months for while claiming to refresh bread stock every couple days.

Nigerian CEOs need dey find ways to handle this sort of crisis without resorting to suing customers.
The CEO is not wise at all.

There's Yale bread produced by summal foods which lasts between 1 to 6 months. In fact, Summal foods markets it as a stale-resistant bread.

From where I stand, I believe this CEO just threw away the chance of making her own bread a viable competitor for Yale bread. If she had consulted PR experts instead of lawyers (who would most likely lose the frivolous suit), I believe she would be packing serious orders by now

The truth is that it is definitely her bread. Make we no pamper the matter grin

So, I think this is what's happening

1) The lady made the video without mentioning any bakery

2) People started mentioning BON (whether na true or na lie).

Now, the BON CEO is trying to fight the perception. That's why she reached out to her.

Truly, the suit makes no sense, but I think I understand what the CEO is crying over. Because of her video, people now have a perception about her bread (whether it's true or not)

cc: Blueraydick
If it's about perception, she could've allowed PR experts help her manage the situation.

A PR person would've advised her to manage the situation differently. For example she could make a video showing the process they use in making the bread, the ingredients which they use (which of course are safe and in line with bread ingredients approved by NAFDAC), and by so doing give her business more visibility.

She messed up big time.... Her brand won't remain the same after listening to lawyers who just want to make money off the case for as long as it lasts. The person she's suing will have enough human rights lawyers to defend her and they will prove the lady didn't defame her brand
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 6:40am On Apr 18
During the week a lady made a video about a bread she bought that lasted for 2 months and didn't go bad implying whatever preservatives used in it's production may be harmful to the health of consumers.

The lady didn't mention the name of the bread, and didn't show the logo/label of the bread in the video she made.

However, the owner of BON bread assumed she was referring to her bread and tried make her recant the video or make apology video for defaming her brand.

The CEO on the advise of her lawyers have now slammed the woman with a lawsuit despite the fact that her brand was never mentioned o. She claimed because the lady liked a comment on her original video that suggested she was referring to BON bread, then indeed her brand was the target of her video.

Personally I think she has hungry lawyers who want to milk her of whatever money she's been making from her business. I mean how are they going to present their case in court on mere assumption and not facts? If this was Erisco foods vs Chioma case one would say BON bread has a good case, but this one just be like say the CEO Wan use her own hand give her brand bad publicity.

There is no career that guarantees success. We are talking about the relative risks involved and the probability of success.

Even in the Nigerian setting the chances for a STEM graduate are better than for a budding sports star.
Where I grew up, I know quite a number of senior men who ended up in Oman, Israel, Finland, Norway, Bulgaria and those European countries football league where they were able build a better life for themselves and their family members in the long run.

Then there are some senior men who studied STEM and non STEM courses who still stay in their parents house till date due to naija situation of unemployment an all

if your stem no carry you enter corporate nigeria, it does not make that much difference

how many oil jobs are there?

stem degrees are not an automatic ticket to a high earning career.

it is the same way people hope to hammer as athletes that people hope to hammer in stem

american hood had hoop dreams - naija has or had oil and gas dreams

and as most oil majors are pulling out and it is getting taken over by nigerians, the dangote killing of union will become mainstream
Now you are seeing things from my viewpoint.

Less than a month ago PENGASSAN Shell branch were protesting in Lagos over their CBA. Since our Naija people took over after the oyinbo divestment bird no dey cry like bird again for that side.

That was why I said if it's all about money, then the parent should focus on helping his child build career in sports and entertainment.

The problem with sports and entertainment is that odds are seriously against you. The risk of failing or not getting to the top is very high in those fields and you now have an adult child with no education and whose skill isn't skilling.

In terms of risk assessment and the probability of having a decent to fairly affluent life (without reaching the dizzy heights of the sports stars and entertainers) the STEM way is still the best way.

Those sports stars and entertainers are lottery winners. It is a needle in the haystack chance of success that the average parent or child can't bank on.
The problem is there are a whole lot of unsuccessful STEM graduates the same way there are unsuccessful athletes in Nigeria.

NB: I'm specifically talking about Nigerian situation o.

So why do people make career choices if not for the ability to make money and financial success?.
The number 1 reason people choose certain career is financial success.
You think anyone enjoy spending 5yrs in school for Engineering, 6yr for Medicine when they can easily spend 4yrs studying Sports and History

This is where STEM comes in. We look at the probability. The number of successful footballers vs the number of boys interested in sport is so small that its easier for a 35yr old mechanic to become a successful surgeon than a for a random boy on the street to become a successful pro footballer
How many successful mechanics do you know?

Abeg! Make Pikin do sports or music with parent's financial support better pass all those STEM and Non STEM headache if na because of money/financial success u wan choose for the child.

I get friend wey be mechanical engineer wey no see job till he gave up and started doing business.

I just can't help myself.

I literally read the short notes on Netflix for the series "BANDI" and I just concluded it is not for me. Then I saw a guy on TikTok recommend it as a very good watch everybody should checkout......I then decided to watch and was happy I did.

There are 2 angles to his argument, 1. Study locally vs Abroad and 2. STEM vs Non STEM

The 2nd argument is what fits our agenda. His argument is the currently, the STEM careers make more than non STEM and from STEM, you can easily slide into a Non STEM career. I know people who are lawyers, Accountants, Media personnel, HR (Supposed Non Stem fields) whose first degrees were STEM but you cannot have a Doctor, an Engineer who was not a STEM person

Even when the jobs are contracted out, e.g contract it to Nigeria, the STEM guys in Nigeria will still make more than the non STEM.

Even in Dangote situation, there will be more Engineers making bank than Mass Comm people. Given that Engineers and Stem require specific trainings that others can not have, while in Mass comm, anyone can do it
Anybody that wants to make career choice for their wards strictly focusing on money/financial success is better off encouraging them to develop interest in sports or entertainment.

All these STEM o, branch o or root sef no get level where successful sporting career dey. I would rather have my son be the next Bukyo Saka than all these STEM vs Non STEM "rakatia"

Okay , I will check it out. I've been seeing it on Prime but never really checked it out.

Iamoyindamola please recommend any Netflix and or Prime Video series wey make sense wey person fit watch.

Nowadays once I read the short notes on most of the shows on Netflix and Prime I don't really get gingered to watch them. It just seems like I already know where the show will head and it won't really be interesting.

Well, under PDP utme students were still being kidnapped so...
The minister for defence Christopher Musa said it's because of 2027 elections that kidnapping and terrorism has been on the rise. He said it it is a calculated attempt to portray the government as weak. 😪

In his words: " You don't have to kill the people you want to govern. Why increase violence just to score cheap political points? "

This Sowore person, is he planning to contest for president again in 2027 under AAC or his strategy for fixing Nigeria is to criticize every other member of the opposition?

I'm yet to see attempt from him at campaigning for Nigerians' vote ahead of 2027 till date, all I've seen is him opposing the opposition figures.


Anybody that has an idea of what his "revolution now" ideals stands for and how he intends to achieve it should please enlighten an ignorant Nigerian here.

Going by the news report, it seems he was in the UK where he committed the crime before fleeing to Nigeria. Nigerian authorities are only extradition him to the UK to go face trial for the crime, possibly serve jail term, after which he will be deported.

I felt some kind of relief when mumuduke carry injury
What an awful player, he's always busy yet nothing to show for it
I felt the same relief because I know Arteta will not bring in that small boy if the match is not going into the later stages. I sensed Arteta would not bring the boy in lest they bully him to collect the ball and attack us from there.

Seeing Madueke going out injured forced his hands and our attacking game changed once Madueke was out.

Something in me wants the boy to play a vital role in that city game, but I doubt Arteta will throw a 16 year old boy into the Most important game of the season. He is too cautious

The players love Zubi so much. He too should reward them by stop making stupid mistake
I was surprised seeing Zubi play very well yesterday night. I was really impressed with how he has taken the criticism of his woeguo performance in the last few weeks. The guy seems to be mentally stronger than we the fans think sef.

I think Arteta needs to give Zubi more freedom to make runs into attacking positions. He seems to do it better than Rice sometimes.

That being said, Saliba and Raya were just making silly mistakes at the back yesterday. I don't know where their head was.

When we have the ball in front of their box we keep passing from left to right and then back to midfield. When they have the ball towards our own final third they look so dangerous ; like they will most likely get the first goal in this tie.

One would've thought with Eze playing ahead of Havertz and Odegaard in the attacking midfield role we would be more dangerous than we've been in past couple of matches.
