Sounds like corruption is playing a part in this
No kidding. So far:
- What is at the most drastic possible interpretation only a case of exaggerated language. She said “killing people with this” when maybe she should have said “making people unhealthy with this” or “loading people up with too much sugar with this”. This civil case is being prosecuted under some kind of cyber terrorism / fomenting charge
- They put her in a water-filled holding cell where she could only stand or squat, not sit or lie down, for twelve hours
- After that, the police showed up at her home, invited themselves in, wouldn’t let her or her daughters leave, stayed there for twelve hours (doing what??)
This is evil, horrific, monstrous behavior. Corruption I think of as selling road building contracts over golf. This is evil corruption.
Holy shit, fuck Nigeria. Can we freedom them next? Sounds like they actually need it, but there’s probably no oil to be had.
There’s shittons of oil in Nigeria, and most of it is being siphoned off by multinational oil companies.
No need to invade if you can just get the corrupt government you’re propping up to sell it to you cheap in the first place.
Dutch person here, fuck Shell.
Maybe don’t claim their product is killing people because it’s a little too sweet for your taste…?
Okoli responded: “Help me advise your brother to stop ki***ing people with his product, yesterday was my first time of using and it’s pure sugar.”
Yeah that’s not gonna go over well anywhere, even the USA. Especially being a business owner….
It’s hyperbole. If you want that to be illegal I’d be hanged for how hyperbolic I am.
It’s not hyperbole when you are business owner and/or a large following of people who can sway things.
Kind of like police taking advantage of their power and being held to different standards than the general public……
Yeah this shits not hyperbole and she would be sued in the States too, sorry, this isn’t freedom of speech by any stretch here.
She shouldn’t have been so melodramatic, but she also shouldn’t have been arrested for being melodramatic.
She’s a person in a position of power due to being a business owner and her followers, just like anyone else in that position, they should know better and are held to higher standard.
She fucked up and would be sued anywhere in the world for her remarks, sorry for pointing out facts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shits not free speech when you are in some positions, she crossed that line:
McDonalds kills people every day with unhealthy foods. No joke, no hyperbole pure murder. Kills them due to thier greed. I live in the US. Do you think I should be scared 😆
Hahaha wow! That’s your comment about this? Incredible!!!
Sure, if someone writes something on the internet that some business owner somewhere doesn’t like, lets just torture them. Makes total sense!
In case you are actually this dumb: Her comment was a so called hyperbole. People like using these, often for humor reasons, especially on the internet and sometimes they are used to clarify something that’s actually subtle. Nobody reading that comment actually thinks that she seriously means people would get killed by that stuff. And if they would, she should still be allowed to express what she thinks on the internet.
As far as large corporations being able to sue you and get the cops to harass you the US may actually be worse.
Jesus fucking christ always this comment 🙄
“Well in the US they put a lady on the rack for reviewing a song in spotify. It’s not true but it’s true because I know it!”
Nintendo literally shut down a company last month for developing an emulator for the switch just by having more money.
I don’t know how to tell you this, but these situations are created by “freedoming” countries. This is neo-colonialism in action.
Did a quick search to see if nutrition and ingredients were listed - they weren’t. Saw a lot of “our products are super nutritious trust me bro” in their ads.
Actually makes me thankful of all the regulations our food suppliers have to follow in the US.
I think they’re really going to lose a lot of business over this lawsuit. If they had just left that lady alone hardly anyone would have seen her review lol
That’s the 40 year reputation he’s worked so hard to build: oversweet tomato purée with no nutrition facts published.
This is such horseshit.
Don’t know if others reas the article but they made her stand in a cell with water on the floor, for at least twelve hours.
That’s like Abu Ghraib level indignity and prisoner abuse. Over some lost tomato purée contracts.
This should be a civil matter, but it’s being treated as a criminal matter.
Fuck this guy, and fuck the corrupt government he’s using to torment this lady.
Actually makes me thankful of all the regulations our food suppliers have to follow in the US.
As a European: lol
I’m not sure what you’re loling about, only major difference between EU and USA nutrition labels are the percentage amount listings.
IIRC - USA is a lot more arbitrary and less interested in the customer safety (and open for bribery, sorry I mean lobbying) and USA also has a good amount of stuff for sale that’s not allowed in EU.
There’s quite a few articles and videos on the subject, but it’s been a long time since I read or watched any.
I’m laughing because the EU has far stricter food regulations than the US. The way Americans think about news like this is kinda similar to how we see the US from our perspective here.
Only if you can get through the years of litigation, harassment, stress, and have the money to weather it out. Truth and justice are more easily attainable for those who can afford it.
You don’t find this kind of criminal prosecution or civil actions in the US.
Let’s make a competing brand for Africa called BIG-DIKO. Make it the most nutritional and have natty black dudes pose for the cans.
“Zero filler, all substance - get swole, have a BIG-DIKO.”
Nah that’s ok. You should definitely do that on your own though! Let us know how it works out for you…
Sounds like something someone with high sugar intake would say. I think you might need some BIG-DIKO in your diet.
