The purchasing power is too low in relation to dollar most of this company are recording loss still that stupid bayo onanuga will be chucking out fake statistics and how good the economy is. Even Guinness have left. Thats why coke na taste like coloring water and sugar. And drinks from just Togo taste different and more premium that Nigerias own.

Loss kọ Logs ni. Nonsense and ingredient.

They must think that we are fools when they are touting loss and pushing it through favourable media platforms in order to avoid paying tax on the gain if they declare it.

Furthermore, Coca-Cola has a Machiavellian brutal strategy of forcing out competitors by using opaque and irresistible offer to the competitor in order to literally kill them and pass on the carcass to a less discerning competitor
to be distracted by the dying brand.

Coca-Cola paid $1 billion dollars to acquire Chivita, not based on any sensible valuation but to kill the competitor and later avoid paying tax in subsequent years by declaring loss. They are suggesting that FIRS should forfeit tax it would have earned for years from Chivita if the company had not been bought or a transparent valuation of Chivita had been done and that amount paid.

FIRS should hold them tight and get creative in ensuring that they don't run to South Africa and use our money to defray their tax liabilities in their homeland.

It would be nice if appropriate agencies should review the acquisition of Chivita again.


Coca-Cola Internationa(HBC) has offered to pay billions of dollars to buy out Coca-Cola Africa which owns the controlling interests in Coca-Cola Africa. Coca-Cola Africa is owned by the South African Gustche family.

FIRS should shine its eyes! They are free to divest to Coca-Cola USA but they must pay all the statutory fees and FCCPC too should get involved.

The South African Gustche family want to cash out big time, avoid paying huge tax to Nigeria as HBC expands into Africa especially the Nigerian market.

It's UACN that fell mugu that I pity most. Won ti gba yin Mr UACN sir! Chivita was not even worth the $1 billion dollars valuation that Coca-Cola claimed it was worth and it's Chivita carcass that you have even overpaid for!


If I were on the UACN Board of Directors ehn, that deal will not fly or would have been at rock bottom price. Sincerely, I will do everything within my power in a God-fearing, lawful and factually persuasive, compelling manner to protect UACN and its shareholders.
You have a valid point there.

There's a timeline of how multinational corporations such as Coca-Cola acquire progressive stakes in some smaller manufacturing companies or competitors and then discontinue the production of those products down the road to stiffle perceived competition

You said all these but failed to give us the value you think Chi Limited was before CocaCola bought it.
The report actually stated that Coca-Cola paid less than $700m in the acquisition of chivita yet Freeidioticstuff is yapping about $1b.

He think say this nah apc propaganda. Big big companies like Coca-Cola keep a metriculous and transparent records of their transactions.

They paid $695million but Coca-Cola themselves are on record as calling it a deal that values Chivita at a billion dollars.

are they the valuers or independent auditors? Are they the accounting consultants that calculated the impairments? 300usd loss ( and tax impacts) is nothing to a conglomerate like cococola. You just sounded emotional with little or no truths

Perhaps it’s time Nigeria consumers enjoy ‘Made in Nigeria’ carbonated drinks - value for money options.

Bros, Bros Take it easy.... Are you a former staff of Coca cola or did they fire your relative ? Cool down.... Fa ra Bale. Make I pure you cold coke for you to chill. Oya Drink Coke.

No bro Coca cola did make a Huge Loss. The Nigerian economy cannot sustain a luxury brand like Chivita, even you that are " paraing " when last did you drink Chivita ? Even before the Tinubu economy Chivita was a Party drink meaning most people only drank Chivita at parties, a few rich kids did buy Chivita off Party like this babe in my area she buys Chivita box like how people buy soft drinks. You should see her YANSH " o my God ,! " E big no be small plus slim stomach. Back to Chivita Luxury goods are always the first to die off in a bad economy.. The Rich are throwing smaller parties these days or going to Dubai or Europe to throw parties all this would impact Chivita sales. Chivita did try to go to plastic but it was not the same price as 7up. Chivita should have created YOUVITA and sold it for N450, they would be smiling now.

Also I blame the recruitment system of must large companies or multinationals. Nokia had all the degree and certificate holders and we're is Nokia now. Companies need to employ based on mental aptitude rather than certificates. Most people with certificates cannot think outside of the box and when the economy changes they cannot change with it.

Cocacola nearly destroyed Chi products, thank God that product already made name. Hollandia that was very thick become watery, Evaporated milk become bitter and swelling. UAC came to save them.

There was this ginger induced soft drink that was in the market one time called “bold” as at 2019 thereabout. I was taking this drink and I was getting fresh. the drink really gained popularity, then all of a sudden it disappeared, I hope Coca Cola isn’t involved in its disappearance because honestly, it was a healthier choice compared to coke.
Bold drinks is produced by Lacasera company.

UAC would finally bury the "Chi". Can they sustain the operation and profitability of chivita? Coca-Cola deployed their huge economy of scale to run chivita and company. I doubt if UAC has the same logistical capacity and economy of scale power to run the show. Just as someone rightly pointed out above, Coca-Cola may have deliberately bought chivita and company to "kill" it off and claim some tax benefits. FIRS should not agree to that impairment loss. It should be added back to Coca-Cola's profit and taxed appropriately. Coca-Cola deliberately over valued chivita and company to evade capital gains tax at disposal. They have already claimed that proceeds from sale to UAC was far below their purchase and carrying value. They want to avoid CGT. Make FIRS no gree for them o.

No.... it means coca-cola would pay and used other local soft drink company like La Casera Company, to bottle their drinks like Fanta, why La Casera would have no enough space and time to produce their own brand. which would cause less visibility and availability to La Casera Company Products in the market while Coca-Cola Products would be more available.
