Erisco Foods makes made-in-Nigeria products. Therefore, anybody who wants to undermine that company is automatically an enemy of Nigeria. People like Eric Umeofia, the CEO of Erisco Foods should be the apple of the eye of the Nigerian government. We should treat them like eggs. By producing locally, they create jobs, grow our GDP and boost the value of the Naira.
If anybody is guilty of undermining his reputation and that of his products with lies, that person should go STRAIGHT to jail, pregnant or not! In 2000, I visited Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and Mohammed Abacha at Kirikiri prison. They have a nursing mother’s section there. Legally imprisoned pregnant women can deliver and nurse their babies in Kirikiri or Kuje! We are just too sentimental as a nation.
Eric Umeofia and people like him are our captains of industry. They are the military industrial complex that will take Nigeria from Third World to First. There should be no sentiments here. If Erisco goes down, jobs go down with him. Families go down with him. And our GDP and Naira will feel the impact. May God bless every manufacturer of made-in-Nigeria goods and services. I started #GrowNairaBuyNaija to help you!
