CrossRhodes:

Any proof?
She made comments based on her taste and what she noticed after cooking.

You people are just in love with your oppressors, period.

nony43:




Where should she be? Has she proven that the tomatoe paste killed people? You don’t know you can go to jail over a fake review?

wirinet:



Even if its a false review, does that elevate the issue to a criminal offence, whereby someone is locked up for more than 6 months without trial?



How many reviews from people that claimed cause cancer or explode and kills people? Just Google the term "Samsung factory cause cancer", you will see tones of claimed just because one factory worker died of cancer. It hebooves on the responsible inspection agency to investigate the claims. No one went to Jail for these claims.



Then you have no business getting hear public office. Jonathan, Buhari and even Tinubu is being insulted daily on social media and they go on with their lives. You and Erisco are lilly livered and have very thin skin.

Vulcan24:
Where I live, ppl gossip and talk bad about me in my absence. I ignore it. Where I work I have experienced backbiting and pulling down lots of times but I ignore and focus on my dream and vision.

You can't expect love and elation from serving the public all the time. You should learn to take the good and bad views.

I tried reading Chioma comments, it wasn't a crime, she used and the product and gave her opinion, it's basic reaction! I don't know how going after her correct anything cos presently I can't even bring myself to buy that product after reading she lost her baby cos my wife had passed through such.

As for me, I don't think this is right in any way

RealLordZeus:
There is difference between bad review and false review.

DeepSight:


No one says its pleasant. But should the reaction be jail for that person in a society where there is supposed to be freedom of speech, thought and conscience?

Mind you, there is the option of suing that person for damages.

new2012:
It's either nairaland is filled with kids or the mentality here is awkward. Like wtf with the reasoning, false, fake review conversation, people here don't know the difference and using them to justify oppressions.

Nigeria deserve her leaders, there's oppressive spirit in all Nigerians, some even promise to kill the lady, " she should die in jail", bla bla bla.

In this kind of mess, there is always no Victor or Vanquished, Erisco has changed name, trying to rebrand and he's most likely not going to be flying g to most countries ever, Chioma has lost her pregnancy, she's in a difficult place right name, the police have tainted her already down trodden reputation even in global space. Global watchers of justice will downgrade the Nigerian Judicial system more. Nobody wins here! But Erisco and Chioma looses and then we as a people loose too, our reputation is smeared globally.

STARGREEN:
The dangers of unguided comments.
The dangers of careless comments.
The dangers of comments without common sense.
The dangers of unverified comments.

Uhuhn. Good attempt. I understand what you're trying to say, however:

Saying vipers and demons is a figure of speech meant to convey a different meaning within a certain context. You didn't actually start looking for vipers or demons.
It's killing people obviously has to be interpreted within proper context. Was she talking about people dying or was it a figure of speech meant to convey a different meaning.

Who was she talking to, and what led to what? Proving defamation is so incredibly difficult even when the intent is clear, much less here when you have to dig into the comment section to find one line that's paraded without proper context.

Again, who here doesn't do hyperbole when the conversation gets heated. Should you go to jail everytime that happens.

If you're an incredible jerk who thinks this is worth ruining someone's life over, it's very well within your right to try, but you'll be pushing that boulder up a very steep hill. In s normal trial, the lady will win and even have him pay for harassing her. How do you arrest someone on a civil accusation? No conviction and you have the civil liberty violated.

Summary: any which way you twist this, the man is a toxic stew of hatred and abuse. The lady should maybe be a bit mindful of comments but no more than the rest of us.

Sccarrr:
if e sure fr ur papa...write false review about a popular brand like she did

Dougad:


What is a false review? Did she buy the product and try to make use of it or not?

Villagesquare:
There are Channels of Complaints, She should have reported the company to Nafdac and Consumer protection commission to carry out their work and ascertain her allegation. On the other hand Erisco should know that a product is subject to bad or good review.

Bliss4Lyfe:
Tell Erisco to come and carry me, I'm in my house.


Errant nonsense!


No amount of gagging can stop the truth.




Fed Gov will need more prison, they better go and start building dem.

Dougad:

CrossRhodes:

But people like you have been insulting glo, MTN and many banks for poor services.....did these companies arrest you dolts?

FreeStuffsNG:
Recall that the CEO of Erisco Foods, Eric Omeofia, had alleged in 2023 that a negative product review by a customer, Chioma Egodi, negatively impacted his business when she claimed that the Nagiko Tomato Mix she bought had too much sugar.

Okoli’s lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, told the court that his client suffered miscarriage in the course of the case and eventually lost her baby.

Okoli is standing bordering on conspiracy and cyberstalking leveled against her.


O pari.

This erisco tomato paste matter should not have escalated to this extent in my opinion. The extent it has gone now is not helpful for an amicable resolution at all.

This is a lesson to everyone to be careful about the advice people give to you, especially if it's a legal opinion.

If you post a comment or say something the other party consider as offensive to his or her brand ,if your comment is a well-intentioned advice but ,unfortunately, taken wrongly, please just delete the comment(s), apologize to the one who took your feedback in a wrong way and move on with your life. If you're right, you will eventually be justified by posterity and one day the person who feels wronged today will credit you as the one who gave a truly sincere feedback yet you apologized for peace to reign. You become the bigger and more matured party eventually.

I will encourage her husband, family and lawyer to help her out of the current predicament. Let all the parties please explore amicable resolution options if it's not too late yet. It's good that she's being given the opportunity to defend herself so that justice can prevail.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

BreconHills:


The party asserting a fact must prove it. You sound like an Obedient. This is exactly what happened in the 2023 election.

nnachukz:
Cash and carry judiciary. Did any entity investigate her claim and find it to be false?

luminouz:

This is rubbish!!!

pappilo:


Why leave out this part of her review?

7demons:

What has Obidents git to do with Tomato paste?
Now I understand why you guys are daft?
So what happened in 2023 to you is free & fair election? Make that nonsense repeat again in 2027 na then una go know khaki no be leather.

Carazon:


Yes, NAFDAC did and her claims were false so let her come forth with a prove proof

wirinet:

Why should she apologise when if that is her honest opinion? According to the constitution there is freedom of belief and opinion. People insult governors and even the president all the time, does that warrant arrest and being locked up for months? Unless Erisco can prove that she had malicious intent , it would be impossible to prove a crime. Remember the threshold for a crime is extremely high, you have to prove premeditation and intent beyond all reasonable doubt.

Why would the other 2 not run? Remember this is Nigeria where the rich and powerful control the justice system. They know they would be locked up indefinitely without trial.

ChatterHouse:
Don't defame a hardworking business especially in Nigeria where the government policies is not even encouraging SME

CHO CHO CHO you get data

Oya eat watery beans in peace in prison instead of Erisco
All those boycott and cheering where are thou

The best advice for her and her cohort is for her to beg fellow Nigeria to beg Erisco oo

There's no UHURU anywhere for her

Judolisco:
dis is not what got her in trouble.... There's another post where she said d product is killing people

Dougad:


Even with that added, the country you live will not hold this person liable for a criminal offense but a civil one of which the result is 50:50.

If you love the Nigerian backward system so much, leave the UK and come and live in Nigeria.

DeepSight:


You people dont deserve to live in a free society. You simply dont understand the concept of freedom of speech, freedom of thought and conscience.

abdsamad:


Where is the post and what was the context. We’ve seen this one too many times. Take something out of context and run with it. What exactly did she say and within what context.

Maobichek:


Both NAFDAC and SON confirmed that Erisco tomatoes is good and edible; who then will defend her?

Freedom of speech is entirely different from what she did, there are records ok. She agreed to apologize but later decline and dare Erisco to go to Court.

Court will not pass judgement base on sentiment and emotion; she had the opportunity to free herself but she was headstrong and this is the reason why we all are still here, thank you.

pappilo:


Go and read up on Malicious Communications Act 2003 and come back and tell me about the U.K.

This one no be dem say. I was in court charged with 4 offences under this act so I know very well what I am talking about. Alhamdulilah I bust case.
