Coke: Proudly Nigeria

At times, i wonder for how much we've all sold our sensibilities for, that some white man or his copycat protege would think they are worth less than a penny. Imagine, the new Coca Cola billboard ad that "proudly" tells us that a canned Coke is "Now proudly Produced in Nigeria"! Okay! Lets say we have to flaunt it when we've got it, but what's the idea behind celebrating a soft drink that was already being put in cans by 1955, some 58 years before now. So we are now catching up, abi? Please Nigeria Bottling Company, stop offending my senses by either removing this "proudly" something (dont really mind the celebrating because they are guzzling can Coke)or getting this billboard off my Junction...abeg!. At least i wont have to be confronted by it every minute. Once again, na beg i dey beg.

Hello my name is Mihai and I am the webmaster of the Nonviolent Radical Party. This days we launched a World Wide Campaign against the bogus trial that is currently underway in Iraq, which most probably will result in a death sentence for Tareq Aziz, number two in Saddam Hussein's decades-long criminal regime. We say “Moratorium on the death penalty also for Tareq Aziz” now!. We are trying to have peoples from the whole world signed this appeal. If you agree with this campaign please sign and maybe put a link on your blog to this World Campaign.

You can sign at www.radicalparty.org

Thank you and excuse me.

This a very sensible line of argument. The crux of the matter is not the eventually ability of the irresponsible Coca-cola to have achieved this feat; but why it took them so long.
