According to David Hundeyin

As predicted 2 months ago, following its self-inflicted PR disaster, Erisco Foods Limited, a.k.a. "EFL" has quietly changed the name of its tomato purée product.

Imagine how much money and effort could have been saved by listening to actual professional advice.🤷🏿‍♂️

What exactly is the reason for the boycott?

1.
Is it that what the girl did about the product is right?

2.
Is it that she was wrong and has sincerely apologized but the company rejects the apology?

3.
Is it that she is wrong about the product and has not apologised but the boycotters sentimentally want to injustice against the brand?

Meanwhile, this is the kind of post that tribal bigots use to push the narrative of, "Igbo people do not love one another". See the bigots below.

I thought Igbo people have an overwhelming love towards themselves. An undying affections of brethrenhood just like the ones they display on the Cyberspace. What went wrong now?

Nah family matter sha, none of my F business.

So, to you Igbo's loving themselves is calling a spade a spoon instead of calling it what it is right?

Where is thy brain o ye son of man?

In the laws of power, having control of the crowd is a great arsenal. Irreparable damage can be done if that arsenal is aimed at you.

Lol..they are the only tribe in Nigeria with a caste system. That doesn't sound like love.

He hasn't seen nothing yet

How is a foolish Igbo girl claiming Erisco product kills a spade calling a spade ?!

How many death as any doctor or hospital attributed to Erisco product.

The Erisco man na him mumu, if I was him the girl must prove the death that occured in her household due to my product failure tondo that her entire household must perish in jail.

Wetin concern tribe for this matter?.... A 'big man' attempted to use his 'bigmanism' to do exactly what big men do in lawless societies; i.e. to oppress the poor. Unfortunately for this big man, his actions have backfired terribly.

The girl did not say the product contain harmful substances rather she said the product is KILLING PEOPLE! for her to make that conclusive statement, she must provide evidence of the PEOPLE the product has KILLED! Shey you will request for evidence na if an allegation is made against you to tarnish your hard earned image!

Most of you that are ing the lady will not take the sh!t she did if it were against the image of your business enterprise.

All these woke generation whose brain reside on social medial clout, will learn in the hard way.

I am an Igboman, I was raised to be just, humane and truthful! Erisco messed up big time! Chioma should find a very good lawyer! She made apologies and you locked her up because you have money… the case of libel is a civil matter and not a criminal matter.. why was she detained like a criminal?

Why not answer the questions in my comment? You can see those using the post to mock the Igbo tribe. Ask them what tribe has to do with the matter.

Hmm

I went to buy some candies for my children immediately I saw one of his products I boycotted it deliberately.

I hated how he swore that he would rather fold up his company than not send that girl to prison.

That was beyond comprehension.

Dem no get option

A good warning to all these CEOs that feel they can use money and intimidation on other citizens.
Nonsense ingredients

What I wrote is already an answer to these comments. Big man trying to oppress the poor, what has that got to do with tribe?

CountinBlessins:


You just disgraced yourself and your tribe. So Yoruba living themselves means they see a man rape and murder and refuse to call him out because he is Yoruba?
You just truly shamed your whole generation. I swear if I was Ibo I would have insulted you.

Anyways fūck Yorubaz and iboz.

Yen Yen Yen, behold the tears of Solomon

Consequences of unforgiveness. Small matter he would have just allowed to let go.

Useless man that want to kill a woman for airing her opinion.

If you cant deduce my point from what I wrote, then I'm not sure I know what else you want me to answer to.

Before seeking an answer to whatever question you asked, you might want to answer my own question first - "Wetin concern tribe for this matter?"

Erisco was the one who made her video popular. If he had ignored her, max three days and few hundred views, no one would her. But he rather choose to bring unwanted attention to her and himself
