THE DANGER OF UNMONITORED DEAL CUTTER AS A TEAM MEMBER
I have a Biafran that we both floated a limited liability company sometime in 2021. This was when we were in high production and trading on red oil. When we saw the need to float a joint venture having seen our comparative advantage on locations, we took our evaluation and assessment from online base information, to offline vetting of who we truly are. There are two main reasons we buried the illusions of online knowledge to realistic information gatherings of whom we; (1) This is a business we are lifting and desires zero sentiment and illusions, (2) people have appeared obviously different in reality from whom they show they are online and thus one must understand this.
These above two critical concerns, made us make serious background checks on our personalities offline despite what we have presented online as our personalities. If in the course of investigation, we found any threatening trait that might undermine our business interests, we would have terminated the incoperation moves. The termination of the incoperation, would not make us less friends. That is what it is. There is nothing much more dangerous than undermining the efficacy of human destructive capabilities when one takes less concern for this.
Anyways, that was for our limited liability company. Talk about IPOB that has shareholding of the interests of the people. When you convert that public interest into finance, it amounts to trillions of USD. If we at our level of limited liability company could be this critical and serious with our vetting and investigative procedures, how much more IPOB? Does IPOB care about who speaks for her, who runs image making processes for her, who occupies her various degree of leadership?
That very lack of interest in this critical issue, have done the movement a great hurt that she can easily resuscitates from. For instance, Barrister Alloy Ejimakor was in dual service provision to both Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and at the same time, Simon Ekpa. They in one time or the other, have relied on him for advice, which I do know he did. For instance, he advised Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to go wherever he wants to travel, that "international law" covers and protects him to do so. Relying on such advice, MNK never saw that Kenya was porous.
He might be right theoretically, but in reality, he isn't. His inability to invoke what reality says to him, is a clear failure on his service provision to his client. When you face issues on face values, you will end up running into avoidable troubles. The same international law he hyped on, was trampled by state actors who were in the conspiracy of extraordinary renditioning of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It is just as Kenya Court interpreting international law at interpretation level without having effects on the Nigerian state. Even when his client was abduction in Kenya, he choose the mountain praying story to dish out instead of what was truly happening on the ground. What prompted "praying in the mountain" lies of not a clear intention to deceive the Biafran people from what was realistically going?
When the federal government announced the abduction of MNK, Alloy switched into the mantra of "technically in Kenya". He further lied that he is in legal battle to get Mazi Nnamdi Kanu"returned to Kenya". Many in their gullibilities, bought that chagrin. That expectation was dashed into wall by the Kenyan court which gave theoretical pronouncement on MNK being technically in Kenya mantra.
Alloy never reminded anyone of the "failure of past legal team", until the Kenyan Court ended his international law debacle. To manage outbursts the post Kenyan court pronouncement will stir amongst Biafrans, he started pushing the past legal regime stories.
The same man never advised Simon Ekpa on the need to be conscious of terrorism tag. Him and his praise singers were so much giving Ekpa accolades of different degrees while Ekpa was rampaging. In fact, on some occasions, Ekpa and Ejimakor mocked the DOS for avoiding being tagged "terrorists" as an act of unseriousness and cowardice. Even when Simon Ekpa and Chika Edoziem were tagged terrorists by the Nigerian Army, he never advised Simon Ekpa to challenge the Nigerian Army in her court.
Chika Edoziem was immediately advised by Ejiofor to seek redress which he immediately did. At least, it is in the record that Edoziem challenged the reckless move by the Army which Ekpa was advised to ignore. The Nigerian court exonerated Edoziem as he was advised by Ejiofor. But Ekpa being advised to ignore, is suffering the consequences of that inaction. He would have held on his hand, a court document exonerating him from terrorism. But he was very advised by the wrong guy! What Edoziem was rightly advised on yesterdays, is what Simon Ekpa is seeking today to exonerated himself with. That is exactly the fate of anyone associating with deal cutters!
When you have an expert in deal cutting as your adviser, be rest assured he will always put you in a mess for a better deal sealing.
