It seems FCCPC is hellbent on chasing more companies out of Nigeria to finish the poverty weaponising agenda of Tinubu.

Where is FCCPC to hold Dangote accountable over his monopolistic and masses poverty inducing production practices?

Is like Tinubu Owo da spirit have entered the man heading this agency .

All he want is to defraud foreign companies that dont mind to leave Nigeria sef.

First it's WhatsApp now Coca cola.

If protesters don't match to their office in Abuja by tomorrow I would have to deal with them myself

But why are we like this as Nigerians? This is how developed Nations check and control these multinational to safeguard their citizens. So what's wrong with what this agency has done?

As of November 2023, Dangote controls 62% market share of Nigeria's cement market. He got there through the series of waivers he got from series of Nigerian governments and court cases he uses to frustrate any competitor. For comparison, BUA is around 20% and Lafarge is around 18%.

With this sort of monopolistic control Dangote can wake up and fix the price of cement and nothing Nigerians or Nigerian government will do about it.

He did it in February this year when he jacked the price of cement up over 200% just after the minister of works announced that roads will now be constructed using concrete. Dangote backed up his action with excuses of exchange rate fluctuations despite getting most of the raw materials from Nigeria in Naira and despite existing waivers he enjoys to import cement components without tariffs and taxes.

He's attempting to do it again with pms and diesel. Asking the government to stop all importation so everyone buys from him... Then when he jacks up the price nobody will be able to cough.

But Dangote is not guilty of selling fake cement.

Before I can't use my bare hand to bring out cement from its bag but nowadays nothing dey happen.

Onyeka90210:
FCCPC wan cash out by any means necessary

Una nor dey ever talk anything reasonable. If FCCPC did take action you will still label them useless government agency if they do they want to cash out. What is wrong with Nigerians?

What's wrong is that the people who work at this agency are idiotss

I have stopped taking coca cola or any other soft drinks since 2008.... They are all sugar, acids and water...

Poisons to the body cells....

You're very correct.
Foodless foods they all are.

Won't sha stop me from bingeing on a chilled bottle once in a while.

All die na die.

Do people still drink Coke?

Most soft drinks do not taste the same it was years back, you can taste the sweetners in them.

If you read the fineprint we'll, it is implying that:

Coca-Cola has moved from using normal sugar ( 7 spoonfuls in one bottle) to now artificial sugars: saccharin ( maybe).

So, it was non-calory before, now it is super non-calory.
No single benefits to the body.
Infact, saccharine will cause harm to your body.

So why is wrong in taking on Coca-Cola who is guilty of misrepresentation be an idiotic acts. Are you a staff of Coca-Cola?
These are regular stuffs in the developed world and these Multinationals respect the rules.
Calling government officials idiot will earn you a jail time in Dubai I hope you know

Something is not right.. I think this should be directed to pepsi and not coca-cola.. All 'less sugar brands of coca-cola comes with a black cap including the bottle filling.. For pepsi the regular 50cl bottle filling assumed to be of original taste turned out to be a transparent 'pepsi lite for over a year now and nobody is talking..the 50cl plastic filling comes in many variants without clear distinctive features..if you are a guilible/hungry consumer the retailer will sell all brands to you at the cost of original taste and you end up with a lower value than your purchase..

You don't know what you're typing.
FCCPC is doing the right thing.

If NAFDAC is as proactive as FCCPC, most F&B companies would've closed shop long ago or adapt to professional best practices that is healthy to humans.

I ran from consuming milo due to excess sugar and decided to use bournvita as alternative. Now, the sugar content in bournvita is worse than milo. I tasted the same bournvita in Ghana, still made by Nestlé and the taste was natural as ever, with less sugar. These foreign companies come to Nigeria and mess with our health because nobody regulates them. Why are we so bad in this country?

If I need less sugar, give me what I want and don't force me to take that nonsense you packed for human consumption. It's an intentional act knowing the dangerous effects sugar has on adults.

Be like you nor dey do better strong work.

I stopped taking soda cos of high sugar & bad chemicals that kills body system faster

I wish Nigerians can stop taking all these poisons tagged soft drink including those canned juice, they are all chemicals

Not many soft drinks..7up bottling company has been seriously compromised..pepsi, mirinda, 7up, teem all have become wash down the years with their odd taste...coca-cola has exceedingly tried more in maintaining quality via coke, fanta and sprite since the economy plunged in 2016.. I think there is a conspiracy against coca-cola..

Anijay1212:
Due to lack of proper supervision coca Cola has been dishing out nonsense drinks to Nigerians. I thank the FCCPC for standing up for the country.

I thank God for delivering me from carbonated drinks most especially COCA COLA.

I'm beginning to like this new FCCPC, the Old management was beginning to sound like an Anti tobacco group.

Is like Tinubu initiated his Owo mi da mentality on everyone in Abuja ministry

All he want is to defraud foreign companies daily.

Are you normal! Do you know how many people die of diabetes and how many children are obese? You just make useless and senseless comments on a matter of life and death that also involve our children, the future generation. Go get sense.

but it's addictive

Delightsome2023:

Yes but you can always overcome addiction if you are determined

That's what we call "Marketing Gimmick" it's not applicable to coca cola alone, so many skin products are involved. You see some products claiming to have Aloe vera , coconut oil and so on, but all are artificial scent.

Comrade i need deliverance myself because chilled PEPSI is keeping me under excruciating bondage
But i hope i get myself out before it is too late.

oz4real83:
Only God is saving us in this country, we don't even know most of the things we eat or drink because the real ingredients may be different from what is written on the packages. Nigerian regulators are either totally inexistent, docile or take action only when it is already late

You are very correct.
Inadequate regulations has turned the country into a dumping ground for substandard products.

Take whole fruits, not juice.
