Sentiment rules Nigeria. That is why majority of Nigerians condemn the action ERISCO Foods takes against the lady. Most nigerians place emotions above facts. The best way to handle the case is for the public to send apologies to the brand and assure the brand that its product will not be boycotted. You cannot save the lady by threatening the company. If you keep threatening the company, the company will choose to die as a hero than dying as a coward.

1.
Right from the moment the lady defamed the product, sentimentalists quickly began to beat drums of boycott against the product. According to ERISCO, the demand for the defamed product sharply dropped following the defamation. But sentimentalists now claim that the defamation would not have affected the brand. They claim that what will affect the brand is the action being taken against the lady. So, the brand should have waited to fold up before challenging the defamation? Before you judge a person, put yourself in his or her shoes.

2.
The lady lied against the product by claiming it kills people. Who will keep quiet when accused of killing people? Who? If you condemn ERISCO Foods but cannot keep quiet when you are accused of murder, you are nothing but a hypocrite.

3.
I would have condemned the action of ERISCO Foods if the lady tendered a sincere apology and the public joined her to ask the brand for forgiveness. The same public that the brand's survival depends on believes the lady's claim about the product and threatens to boycott the product. So, the company is trying to save its reputation.

4.
I know she had miscarriage while in police custody, and it saddens me. But we should also know that many workers in ERISCO Foods may loose their jobs and die of hunger because of her defamation. Are you saying it is right for her to try to kill people but it is wrong for the people to try to defend themselves? ERISCO Foods didn't get her arrested to cause her the miscarriage. ERISCO Foods got her arrested for the sake of justice. The miscarriage is a coincidence, not a deliberate action.

5.
She said the paste contains Sugar. It is true, and the company never said otherwise. On the body of the paste, Sugar is listed as one of the ingredients in the paste. But the sentimentalists quickly joined her to cry that the company is deadly for putting Sugar in the paste. They implied that the company has been deceiving the public. How? Does the company hide the fact that the product contains Sugar? If not that you are stupid, you would have checked the ingredients in the paste before displaying your stupidity.

6.
The company explained that the paste is a multipurpose one that can substitute butter for bread. I saw some comments saying that such paste is being consumed for the same purpose in some Western countries. So, ignorance landed the lady and her fans into this mess. Who does a review without a thorough research?

Morizo:
Why did you take your time to write this thrash?
Is Erisco the first to be reviewed or criticised? Sitting presidents were shamed e.g GEJ. Even Aisha that arrested a student later apologize and gave hims a compensation.
The Erisco CEO is a high bred illiterate and has no business being in the corporate world. And you, a semi daft illiterate is defending his stone age approach. He took advantage of our mercantilist Judiciary to keep the lady in prison cos he has money to bribe them.

But he lost big time cos those against him are more than clowns like you that are for him! That's never good for any business in the long run.

Where's our humanity! She lost her babies there and that's bad

1Sharon:
You didn't see this in the article you posted? Those people that gave those reviews meant business.
Chioma was clearly exaggerating and trying to be funny and her review should have been taken as much and just ignored. Now Erisco foods has gotten the CEO the attention he wanted, but it's wrong kind. Let him continue now

vengertime:
I won't lie, my cousin and I saw that Erisco tomato paste in a super market and we bought some to see if this lady was being serious with her review or being mischievous.

My honest review is that the sugar content was intense, which I'm not even bothered about because Gino and Tastytom also has sugar in them when you taste them raw.

However, the tomato paste when Cooked for jollof rice it taste like burnt rubber or plastic. The taste was horrible. It's not something I could use twice.

Thank God I didn't review it on Facebook or Instagram. Because that man don't take criticism

1Sharon:
So you mean to say when she said the product was killing people, you didn't see it was a clear exaggeration? Or you want to pretend like you don't know it's a figure of speech?

OK now.

Morizo:
Why not change your name to Immortal Clown 🤡

Perfect for your support of brutality and abuse off human Rights

We don't have any laws against product reviews in this country

Rebelutionary:
you make me laugh! Shifting the goal post already? Sometimes stay out of conversations that are way beyond your pay grade!

Majority of what population size? You see if I put you in the dock and ask you that simple question from your childish comment you will just stutter and ramble like a toddler.

You sat in your house and just ASSUMED that MAJORITY support Chioma and that the product has been boycotted. Kids on Nairaland sef! Where are your facts?

Do you know the market size that patronise his products? Obviously you don't but out of blind sentiment you are making spurious comments. How many people in a population of 200 million plus are aware of this case?

Go through this thread and you will see someone recently bought the "taboo"

Oh Erisco should prove that she typed "Killed" instead of "Kissed"? Don't make me laugh biko!

Did you do "fill in the blanks" primary school? Do you understand contextual usage of words? Come you go school so?

Rebelutionary:
Erisco opened his business to play right? He doesn't mean business? I thought they were sharing Discounts Codes and Free Vouchers for just any Negative and Nigeria is a banana republic? Mtscheww.

Oh it is now exaggeration plus figure of speech abi? That's why she's in court, she will prove that it was exaggeration and educate the judge about figure of speech.

If you followed this case, Chioma pushed her luck too far! She was giving the opportunity to recant this before it got to court but mbanu just like many Nigerians talk anyhow because they believe "freedom of speech" doesn't have limits. Now she will educated on the difference between a Review and an Allegation!

immortalcrown:
What would have happened if the company didn't challenge the lady in court?

Crafteck1:
Nonsense upon nonsense, in a sane environ, a company is meant to campaign and enlighten the public about this and that not threaten to deal with a consumer, the products were put in the market for same consumers right? If i dont like something after smoking BLESSING and hedges then i come out and say this cigarette contains lots of nicotine, which cigarettes normally do, is arresting me the next line of action? This is why religion enslaved people by shutting them from voicing their opinion and questioning things being preached to them...

One thing i want to know is if the owner of the company was from another tribe, would the ladys people be silent?
Seems when the tribe effect checkmated themselves, people chose btw rich and poor.

For your info, products plenty with negative effects for body..

PHIPEX:
Pls tell us the basis the Miyyeti Allah leader was discharged? On what basis were those repentant Boko Haram suspects discharged?

A bully always has a reason why he bullies people. Erisco is just a bully. Do you know how many times he called Nigeria Banks "killers"? Should CBN have arrested him?

Tonididdyx:
You've being running your mouth all day like your brain is on hire.
You wrote all that nonsense to justify why the lady deserve what she got.
But you failed to see the elephant in the room, which is, erisco created the awareness to all of this, it could have died a silent death but NO, the company has alerted nigerians to 1001 reasons why it's product should be boycotted.

I for one won't see gino in the market and now but erisco Abe aricso, when I'm not mad!

immortalcrown:
If you cannot explain yourself here, you have no point. What exactly should the PR have done?

meum:
I’ve said it a couple of times in my previous posts.
Na PR expert work. If you don’t know forgerabourit.

It might interest you to know this same man fighting this woman demarketed other brands(without mentioning their names) on live TV. He said they add sugar/corn starch/additives while his brand is 100% pure tomatoes without additives. That was that period when he used to wear ankara suits to promote Naija. 2013/2014 or so. I can still remember those interviews because I watched them.

meum:
Did you read my first post at all? I have shared a few things about the PR here. I don’t have to start all over again or start looking for it to make you feel good. Are you working for them? You guys should have followed another route because of the sentiments the case will generate against your brand with this court case.

I have worked in a company where we would have chosen the legal route on a particular matter but we opted for diplomacy & it was a win-win for both parties. Most times it’s not by gragra. EFL might win the case but the company will lose customers on the flip side if the lady wins the company will still lose customers.

LDaVinci:
He didnt simply deploy court processes. He went further to bring his personal wealth to bear on the highest levels of the police and you know it.

In no sane society can a customer be arrested for criticizing a product.

"Your product is killing people" is not a murder allegation. It is just s subjective health warning according to one person's opinion and can be ignored.

And you know it.

immortalcrown:
You are just ranting. Go straight to the point. What exactly should the PR have done?

Mills55:
I can't imagine what tribalist would have said if that Erisco man was a Yoruba or Hausa.

LandMann:
Exactly.
The power drunk CEO decided to flex muscle with the poor lady.
He got her arrested and the police detained her on orders of the Inspector General of Police till she had miscarriage.

Unfortunately, the IGP and the power drunk CEO forgot that this is information age and we're not in early 2000s or 1990s were such oppression by power drunk people in Nigeria went unnoticed.

Her story got out and then the CEO kept saying she said his tomato paste is killing people in her review.

But this is a lie by the CEO cos her original review never contained such.

It was in her response to an aggressive comment on her review post that she wrote ki**ing.

The CEO interpreted it as killing when it could also mean kidding or kissing, all in a bid to justify using the influence of IGP to have her locked up till her miscarriage.

Is it not shocking that the IGP will be brought so low to the level of oppressing ordinary Nigerians.

Do you still wonder why people have no faith in the police and why insecurity is now so much that even police and soldiers have become endangered species and they hardly get any intel or cooperation from the public in order to fight crime.

This geographical contraption has been rightly described as a shithole.

It is worse than a shit hole

1Sharon:
Oh really? You need to travel to a sane country. They give people back REFUNDS and DISCOUNTS for negative reviews. That's what's called CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Rebelutionary:

Oh it is now exaggeration plus figure of speech abi? That's why she's in court, she will prove that it was exaggeration and educate the judge about figure of speech.

LandMann:
The point is that the power drunk CEO and his foolish team of lawyers will find it difficult if not impossible to prove she said killing in her post.

Perhaps you are just a zombie hired by them to whitewash and do damage control for the brand that's why you carry the matter on your head like lice.

Go to any thread on Facebook YouTube Twitter and Nairaland where this issue is being discussed and take a sample of the first 50 unique comments.

Count how many is in support of the power drunk CEO vs the lady who posted her review.

You'll get your answer.

Enjoy your paid zombie job

I'll no longer engage you

1Sharon:
It's funny how you have the gall to bring up sentiments when that's exactly what you did in your first paragraph. Do you think there is any business on earth that doesn't have negative reviews? Do you think any business is above criticism? Is Erisco God that cannot be blasphemed?

What do you this is?

Chioma didn't defame anything. Her comment that the product was "killing people" was simply an exaggeration and figure of speech. You guys know this but want to be mischievous and obtuse.

Travel to a working country. REFUNDS and DISCOUNTS are given for negative reviews. Nobody goes to prison.

Travel to an advanced country and experience sanity.
