Evidence (2024-05-22): Although Indomie noodles quickly became a staple in Nigeria with the younger generation thanks to a successful marketing campaign, they were not the first brand to enter the market: Maggi is a Nestlé-owned product, popular in India. "Maggi noodles tried to win adults over, and they failed woefully and packed up. Indomie saw this error and took a different strategy," Opeyemi Famakin, a popular food critic in Nigeria, told the Guardian. "Go for the kids. Catch them young so they grow with you and, by default, become loyal. Millennials in Nigeria grew up eating Indomie. They [were] also sold the two-minute cook time. No dish in Nigeria cooks as fast as two minutes." [...] A recent report by Napi into ultra-processed foods claimed that advertising for Maggi noodles "deliberately conceals important information" such as very high sodium levels – a 70g packet contains about a third of a person’s recommended sodium intake.

Claim: Sajith Worshipped to Ratta !! (Social Media Users, 2024-09-06)
Evidence (2019-11-21): Sajith Premadasa, the son of former President Ranasighe Premadasa, is the current Opposition Leader of the Parliament of Sri Lanka and the Leader of the main opposition party, Samagi Jana Balawegaya. Sajith schooled at St. Thomas Preparatory College and Royal College, after which he sat for his O/L and A/L examinations at London’s Mill Hill School. He excelled at studies and extracurriculars, winning the A/L prize for politics and business studies while being a prefect and captaining the First XI Cricket Team of Mill Hill School. [...] In 1994, following the footsteps of his late father, he decided to take the plunge into grassroots politics when he was made the District Organizer for Hambantota for the United National Party. He started his political career by launching the project ‘Janasuwaya’ to alleviate poverty in the Hambantota District, where he worked for years at the grassroots level. In the 2000 Parliamentary Elections, he secured the highest number of preferential votes in the district and the highest vote percentage in the country and entered the parliament for the first time. United National Party assumed office a year later, and Sajith was appointed Deputy Minister of Health. He secured the highest percentage of preferential votes out of all United National Party candidates for four general elections in a row. In the decade that followed his being first elected to the parliament, Sajith rose to be recognized as a people-friendly political leader. He was elevated to the position of Deputy leader of the United National Party in 2011.

Claim: Sajith Worshipped to Ratta !! (Social Media Users, 2024-09-06)
Evidence (2023-12-14): Sajith Premadasa has declared that he will not reunite with Ranil, nor will the SJB realign with the UNP. (https://www.ft.lk/front-page/Sajith-dismisses-future-alliance-with-Ranil/44-756217) [...] Sajith must draw the line of demarcation between him and Ranil, the SJB and the UNP, in substantive terms of economic and social strategy, policy paradigm, developmental program, and political ideology. That is possible only if he stands firmly on the foundation of President Premadasa’s development philosophy which includes "economic, political and social democracy". [...] That the stumbling block of the (Advocata-advised) economic platform hasn’t been removed by Sajith even in the pragmatic interests of clinching a deal with the FPC and catapulting a broad progressive alliance as Presidential Election Year 2024 commences, is evidence of the extent of ideological capture by the party’s neoliberal right-wing, and the degree to which it looks set to dominate policy in a Sajith administration. These rightist policy ideologues will do the same damage to a possible Sajith presidency that Ranil-Chandrika-Mangala did to the Sirisena presidency and its social base.

[...] Then on Thursday at Ratnadeepa Hotel in Galle Face, Colombo 1, Sajith with his core economic expert team of Harsha, Eran and Kabir, presented their own oral submissions on Economic Blueprint 3 of SJB’s manifesto before an audience of hard-boiled professional guests for their own minute scrutiny. Eran took the floor first, followed by Dr. Harsha and then by Kabir Hashim. Towards the tail end of his entertaining speech, a figure dressed in black, silently strode up the auditorium aisle to take his empty seat in the front row. It was then Kabir revealed that Sajith had arrived. When Kabir had finished, Sajith was invited by the compere to deliver his speech. [...] With ‘Aragalaya’ leaders, who had demanded system change, joining him the same day, it was clear that Sajith was attracting support from every strata of society in the last lap of his marathon run to the President’s House in Colombo’s historic Fort.

Evidence (2023-08-24): Pressurize Sajith to endorse Ranil as presidential candidate and accept PM-ship. [...] Ranil’s course will trigger a Sinhala voter backlash with the only question being whether Anura or Sajith will be the beneficiary. So far, Sajith has avoided Ranasinghe Premadasa’s election-winning patriotic pledge of 1988 (de-induction of Indian forces) and observed a scrupulous silence on Ranil’s supine Indophilia while Anura has been incrementally foregrounding the issue. It is likely therefore, that on present form, AKD will be the primary beneficiary of a nationalist/patriotic backlash. [...] It should be easy for Sajith to defeat Ranil while outmanoeuvring Anura with a patriotic, pro-people, pro-poor, Premadasa discourse and Social Democratic brand.
