is this true

So you're jambite and you're already doing zombie work

Hopss:
Read about a case some few years back, a man bought coca-cola in quantities and shipped abroad, thinking of the profit he's going to make, when the consignment got to the designated country, it was shipped back to Nigeria , declaring it unfit for human consumption. so the man sued coca-cola bottling company. The following conversation took place
Prosecutor:Why did you produce a substandard product for me to export, there by making me to lose my resources.
Defendant:we never knew you wanted to export it, the drinks we produce in Nigeria is made for Nigerian market and not for export.
So you see, the coca-cola might look same but not the same quality. Mind you this really happened in Nigeria, it's no fiction .

Lie lie.. Nigeria made carbonated drinks are exported to Europe on a daily basis without issues...
Keep trying to demarket ur nation .
Companies think Globally but act locally. Mandatory use of local raw materials and only source for materials that can't be produced locally. It doesn't make locally made goods inferior

the issue wasn't even with coke but with Fanta, Coca-Cola argued that it followed the guidelines given by NAFDAC, so the court no fit do anything, so they ordered NAFDAC to pay for putting people's life at risk, till date I don't use drugs with softdrinks because of that case....
Also d man should have asked questions from the regulatory body in the UK before exporting, Coca-Cola also said Ingredients in our drink were more active because of the climate......I'm sure you can now export Sha, d case made NAFDAC sit up

wetin be lie, u should have jst Googled d case... How old are you?

100% lies. Which country will allow you bring in goods that will interfere with the ones in their markets? They will be sizes at the airport if he landed with them. If he intended to ship them in, did he get an import licence? If he got a licence and paid all the import duties on the goods, there's no way he can sell it cheaper than market value. You think it's easy to take a mega cooperation to court? Those that successfully did had solid cases and the funds to follow through. The story is pure fiction

it's not fiction, it actually happened... NAFDAC was made to pay search Adelu fijabi vs Nigerian bottling company

just Google it. punch carried the story

Dear Nigerians, before u doubt anything u don't know...a simple Google search will tell you if it's true or not.. don't just carry phone n type na lie.
I read that same news here...
Na this nairaland I also read how it was discovered our herbal aphrodisiac alcoholic drinks contains cidinafril citrate way above the recommended value, even higher than viagra and consequently the product wasn't allowed into UK and Europe..

Luckysbab:


Stop talking nonsense. 2 units of their currency. So why are they not earning 250,000 units of their currency monthly?

The price of that should be benchmarked against the average salary there.

the person ur trying to school is even more sound than u.......hv u tried to think about minimum wage and dollar or currency rate difference between the two countries?.........u will find out that amount of purchase is of no effect to their disposable income ........the norminal value and real value of their currencies btw Nigeria and Canada is based on ..... minimum wage rate ...nd currency differential rate which automatically make Canada to be better

motymop:


This is the dumbest stuff I have ever read in a while.

It is obvious you have no idea about minimum wage or the concept of money

Like at least 80% of 9ja folks.

Reason some don't value money relatives abroad send them.

They think $100 is just like 9ja N100.
I have heard it from peeps, who by 9ja standards, are well educated.

DeZoro:
I entered a mall in Toronto to.buy coke and the amount will amaze you. Two dollar and forty nine cent ($2.49).

Using the price of 50cl Coke in Canada versus Nigerian which is about Four Hundred naira (N400), I am suspecting that the ingredients are different combination. It means the Coke sold in Nigeria malls and shop are adultereted or of less ingredients.

I have attached the receipt of the Coke for verification in case you doubt..

You always make me laugh. You're declaring something that actually happened lies because of lack of information and knowledge. You're in the media space, why not do some research before saying some things.

For your information, the case is real. Nigerian Coca-Cola products no be am like that. It's why I don't drink it whenever I visit this country. In fact, I stopped taking soda many years ago.


Try dey info smfh

Magnetic010:
I really do not like commenting in topics like this because most times they make no single sense....That $2.49 is technically just 2 unit of their currency..can 2 units of nigerian currency buy you that anywhere in Nigeria or Canada?

I'm trying to Imagine what goes on inside the brain of you and your over 100 fellows who liked your comment.

I beg you, no use this brain cross road o

Na this topic our brothers wey dey abroad suppose put mouth but I no know whether oyibo dey empty their brains before dem enter.

iyatrustee:
Poor editing job!

Why is the receipt showing unit price and tax in pounds, yet the total is in dollars?

That's one of the receipts they use whenever they want to scam someone.

inyass2580:



Dts almost # 3k plus for Nigeria money if dollar is 1500 sha

Nigeria is hell fire on earth nd uk is heaven on earth as gurumaraji dn talk am..

This is Canadian dollar though. One Canadian dollar is about 1K Naira

the question does not make sense..there are several things that determine prices of items in countries.. How many things do you want to compare.? why not ask about price of eggs and price of iphone ?

Vapital:
The coke, Fanta, sprite sold in Nigeria is just colour and sugar

And the one sold in US is what?
Turns out Nigeria own is healthier!😆 See it below

Ficeo:
I have no issues with the price. Quality is the keyword. Call a bottle of coke, a bottle of coke. Refreshing, nourishing and nutritious. I am sure it's not a poison and approved by the counties standard Food association. You know what I mean.

You don't know what you talking about.
Coke is far from nourishing and nutritious

I love my country Nigeria irrespective of odds.
Coke still remains one of the best soft drinks produced in Nigeria

Which ingredients are you talking about? Ingredients Dey anywhere?

The coke, Fanta, sprite sold in Nigeria is just colour and sugar

Look at the receipt again when you're sober.

When dollar to naira was 1 - 1 would you same the same? I got a special light in Europe at 45 euro 5 years ago. Today it's 50 euro.

The same light in Nigeria 5 years ago was 18,000 naira. But now it's 110,000 naira. So can u compare?

That's what we get When an economy is depending solely on importation and u s d.

Look for my post on page 3 of the thread below!

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/7776601/unilever-nigeria-plc-reports-72.95/2#124636281

As for indomie, look at the list of ingredients (always do this for any food) look at the e- numbers (E621or Monosoldium Glutamate, E627 etc …indomie contains 9 E-numbers) some associated with things like colorectal cancer and google what they are.
