Disappointed, aggrieved and feeling used, many parents across the country have taken to social media accusing Cussons Baby Nigeria, an arm of PZ Cussons Nigeria Limited, of taking advantage of them and deceiving them to achieve their marketing objectives in the name of a baby contest called Cussons Baby Moment.

The company started a contest on March 5th in which parents were told to upload photos of their babies on the company's website where a voting button will be provided under each photos. But here is the condition, you must buy a cussons' product and include it in their babies entry photos. Parents will then embark on a promotional spree to direct people to the company's website to vote.

Parents are insisting that the contest is a sham and that the baby product company from the beginning have been tweaking their algorithm to favour certain babies, who may be acquintances of the company or its associates.

From the beginning of the contest, parents have trooped to Cussons Baby Nigeria social media pages demanding fairness in the contest when it was discovered that their babies votes were not being counted while they witness those of some particular babies skyrocketing.

Cussons admitted some of the accusations especially as regards their shoddy voting system and and messing up with people's votes, while they promised to fixed them, but nothing was done.

Further investigations by Newseveryhour revealed that the accusation of inside connections and favouritism being involved in the contest may not be far from the truth as investigation evidences collated by this blog speak volume and will be revealed at the appropriate time. Based on our investigations, the winner of Cussons Baby Moment 5, may have been long concluded by the organisers even before the start of the contest.

Parents have now called on Cussons Baby Nigeria to tow the path of honour and save itself from further embarrassment by cancelling the contest, as they promised to do in case of any major anomaly; as this may have already poisoned the minds of Nigerians against other bodies that plan to conduct similar contest in future with genuine intention.

What do you expect from a shit hole


Nairaland bot ya papa!

Issokay

Got about 5 whatsapp invitations to vote and did not for once consider clicking the link.

Who send una

and some people have the effontry to call our leaders corrupt. As far as I'm concerned all Nigerians are corrupt, the only reason they haven't stolen billions is lack of opportunity

Cussons really messed up, cashing in on the desperation of parents to see their babies come top.

Very good for Nigerians. Always looking for shortcuts to success. A lot of them were looking to blow using their babies and spamming on whatsapp and facebook with pictures of their innocent babies.

Na today nyash dey back, the government have given corporate bodies full license to rip off Nigerians as long as their palms have been greased

Everything in Nigeria is shitttt, a country where result is known before even starting the contest. Just like election!

hmm

Just take heart. You have been scammed already. They made the parents undergo that marketing strategies for their own profit. At the end if the day, the child of one of the executives or the relatives is going one home with money.

Nigeria and corruption walks together. Let me go and check my PVC again where I kept it.

Welcome to Nigeria.....

Marketing strategy was written all over it and una still fall.smh

.. This same people told my friend that the selection process wasn't based on vote and disqualified his son after coming second. They later nominated the boy for two more awards,, best concept and one other. After initially saying the boys picture lacks clarity and creativity
. Response below..

What's the aim of this contest self.smh.The should just go to the motherless babies home and pick a child for their advertisement rather than making parents spend money in the name of contest.

No company across the world allows its staff or their family members partake in any promotion organised by them.

And how are they going to detect if it happened. Remember we are talking about Nigeria where nothing is impossible.

When you get your PVC, who will you vote for?

When it comes to their babies, mothers can go any length. I don't see this dust settling anytime soon. The babies that entered the competition were too much sef. About 10 different friends sent me links to vote for their kids, nieces, nephews. Chei!
