Nigerian Woman Faces 7 Years in Prison over Facebook Review | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Nigerian Woman Faces 7 Years in Prison over Facebook Review | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A woman in Nigeria faces up to 7 years in prison over a negative review on Facebook. Chioma Okoli is a 39-year-old entrepreneur based in Lagos. Last September, she put up a post on Facebook where she slammed a local tomato puree. She said the tomato mix was too sweet. This set off a storm on Facebook, and led to the Nigerian police arresting her a week later. She has been charged under Nigeria's cybercrime law. She is being accused of hatching a conspiracy to instigate people against the Tomato Puree maker. She faces 7 years in jail, and a fine of up to 3 million dollars over the bad review.

Drugs is not a Nigerian problem. Although, unfortunately, Nigerians are notorious outside of Nigeria for indulging in drugs related crimes in foreign countries; this is because there is a demand for drugs in those countries hence the people see it as an opportunity to illegally make quick bucks. Hence, in actuality, Nigerians selling drugs in foreign countries is simply a reflection of the poor morality inherent in the citizens of the said country. It's simply a case of demand and supply: where there is no demand, there will be no supply. For instance, there are no drugs issues in Nigeria because there is no demand for such substances. Moreso, people are very swift to point fingers at Nigerians, when the reality is that "provided the demand persists, there will always be supply." In conclusion: selling drugs in Nigeria will probably warrant harsher sentences than what the tomato reviewer unjustly got; possibly even the death penalty. And this is rarely ever heard of due to the lack of demand.

She did not state it as a fact. Defamation is when someone deliberately states that something is a fact when it's not. Meaning, they're telling a lie. It would've been defamation if, for example, she said, "This is too sweet. It has 20 mg of sugar," if in fact it only had 10 mg of sugar." See the difference...

#UNBELIEVABLE 😲🤦Locked up for giving a bad review~ That company should acknowledge the customer's concerns & apologize for any {negative experience} This will show that they take customer satisfaction #seriously. Then a negative review's #impact won't look as bad & it will turn a #dissatisfied customer into a #loyal one!. The owner of that company is insane~ Folks post bad reviews all the time in the USA & never get arrested~ Leave that lady alone, she should have freedom of speech, to voice her opinion~ 😞
She must not go to jail . She has a right to have an opinion

She will be out in a week. It was a scare tactic by the owner of the tomatoe product, to show she has muscle. She probably paid the police and asked them to hold her for a while. If this Chioma lady had connections and money too, the police wouldn't be able to arrest her. That's how Nigeria is. Money talks over there. It's unfortunate though. But the good news is, she will be out soon. Don't worry
This is ridiculous to have tried to silence this woman. It’s her opinion and her right to say how this tomato puree is. This lady needs assistance in help and safety.
This is truly really bad for the Nigerian Government.
Thanks again and again Palki for telling these stories. We will boycott the brand.

As a Nigerian, this is sad and disgraceful. If people can't make genuine reviews on products they spend their hard earned resources on, you as a manufacturer need to get out of the market. This is plainly a case of oppression and corruption that has plagued Nigeria as a country. I'm forever proud to be a Nigerian but definitely not proud of these nonsense going on in our corridors of power.

The problem with making "hate" crime laws is that they can be broadly interpreted and applied in the courts. A real victim has no chance, and big companies take advantage.

Well, it's not a problem with the law(s) itself, but the people who are in charge, working in bad faith to specifically harm the people these laws should protect.

International awareness doesn't matter as long as many Nigerians themselves are either unaware or don't care that things happen in their country. If anything "International awareness" makes many countries _less_ likely to deal with problems. Instead of admitting to the problems where they live and solving them, they'll just whine about how unfair it is and desperately try to deflect the criticism by pointing to problems elsewhere in the world.
Totally OUTRAGEOUS!! Very good that her people demonstrate against the system.
Thank you for covering this story. I’m sure Nigeria has much bigger fish to fry. Smh
“There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.” famous quote by Idi Amin. Always remember that before you exercise your freedom of speech right in Africa.
