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
Yeah - was about to do that
I think EU regulations for food and border-free movement between countries are the two most valuable EU advantages by far

For now
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
Streisand effect hits hard
Amazing that we, as a species, are incapable of learning from history.
I mean there's a reason there's warning labels on everything about not doing the most obvious thing you should never do.
Makes me thankful that in the US the truth is a defense against libel.
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.
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.
He's only 39 with a 40 year old image 🤔
The woman being harassed by this company and the police is the only that's 39. The article doesn't mention the founder's age, and he definitely looks older than 39 from a quick search.
He worked hard in utero. /#neverstophustling
He’s only 39 with a 40 year old image
Lol, great catch! I totally missed that.
EDITED TO ADD: It was the lady who was 39, not the guy suing her. My bad. I should probably just go ahead and revisit Hooked on Phonics now because I can't fucking read, lol.
he would “rather die
This dude takes tomato sauce seriously.
Sounds like corruption is playing a part in this
No kidding. So far:
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.
Almost 100%, The justice dept is behaving in such an over the top way here, it’s either that or they just want to demonstrate how they themselves can get away with mistreating a citizen.
You know what to do boys!
This one deserved a internet "hug". I swear to god corrupt people like this should have their lifes destroyed
"This tomato sauce is a bit sweet for my taste."
"FUCK YOU! I WILL KILL YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR DOG, BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND AND PISS ON THE ASHES!"
"Jesus Christ, man! I just said it was a bit too sweet."
She actually said something along the lines of "your brother's company is killing people the sauce is so sweet" in response to a comment or so I read in another article this morning.
It's in this article:
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.
I hope that her defense also makes the argument that there is no damages because online reviews have zero value when the majority of them are fake paid reviews.
I can just about hear someone saying, "Do you know who I am?" or "Do you know who my father is?"
This situation just screams of the diabeetus-loving tomato sauce company bribing the local police.
