Nigerian parents nationwide have cried out on social media over how the company exploited them by making them promote the brand through canvassing for votes for their babies via social media and accused the company of having their winners already through inside connections.
Well, it happens that indeed inside connections is a major factor in the Cussons baby contest and it is far from being free and fair just as parents have accused.
Newseveryhour can now authoritatively tell you, amidst other bundles of evidences we have gathered and which will be released shortly, that one of the babies getting an unreserved favour in the contest is Baby Yassir, who happens to be son of Adewunmi Fatai, the make-up artiste to actress Mercy Aigbe.(Pictured)
.
Mercy Aigbe is one of the three judges of the contest. Mercy, alongside Designer, Mai Atafo and photographer, Yetunde Babaeko are the judges making decisions in the contest.
As more mothers and other concerned parents continue to throng Cussons social media page to call out the organizers and over this unprofessional conduct of favoritism and exploitation, some are now getting blocked from accessing the pages and their comments deleted.
In all reputable and credible contest globally, judges and staff of the companies organising a contest are not allowed to have any previous relationship with contestants.
Below is a snapshot of an example of such rules from a similar contest organised by Pears Baby Product, but unfortunately from the beginning of the Cussons contest the company had assured parents that it was free and fair even as they have refused to be transparently with their policies and will change it arbitrarily every now and then to suit their ulterior motives
