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.

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.
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.
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
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.
And in today’s episode of Totally Un-self-aware,
The company’s founder, Eric Umeofia, refused to budge, however, saying in a recent documentary on the local Arise Television channel that he won’t drop the lawsuit against Okoli and that he would “rather die than allow someone to tarnish my image I worked 40 years to grow.”
So this asshole is the person churning up that poor woman’s isolated bad review into ALL the Streisand effect he can possibly get, as hard as he can, to the point that it is now international news how abysmally shitty his product really is, AND he’s also the person announcing dramatically that he’d rather die than allow anyone to do that.
Hmmm. Will he ever connect the dots?
Nah. He’ll just keep blaming and harassing that poor woman for the rest of his days while people stop buying his product in droves because both it and he leave such a bad taste in the mouth.
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.
What are the odds the food owner has a good friend at the ol’ Nigerian Justice Department.
This whole thing is bullshit on top of bullshit.
