Ovaioza it’s the audacity for me. Even despite all this, she was still being proud and claiming right.
You had the temerity to call your investors poor people. But na poor people money you dey spend all this while BTW. Yes we are poor but atleast we no be tiff.
This girl deceived the people in this egusi group so much. They started holding 12am midnight prayers for her. Kept lying up and down about SEC.
Even before SEC issue started she was unable to pay investors. We did egusi storage with her for 6 months. Beginning of March, she said she has started selling the egusi, March 20th she told us all the egusi had been sold and payment will commence on March 21st. That was a monday. Monday, tuesday, Wednesday all we heard were stories. Then Thursday she announced the issue with SEC. She still came to egusi group and told us our money was not in the frozen account, that she has already told her accountant to commence payment that Thursday. Thursday, friday, saturday we didnt get any payment. Investors were getting angry and impatient and she
started with another lie – that our money was in the frozen account and she told her husband’s banker to loan her 10m to pay off egusi investors (bank overdraft), the banker initially agreed but later changed his mind and refused to loan her the money. Meanwhile the 10m would not have been able to settle them cos she’s owing egusi investors atleast 50m. Turns out there was no egusi money in any frozen account.
Insulted everyone who saw her lies and dared to speak against her 👇👇👇

Read very well.
Majority of my close friends I found out invested with her will not swear I didn’t disturb them from November last year to pull their money from Ovaoiza. I called those I knew invested. Chat them constantly. Disturb them morning till night. Everyday. I even asked them to forfeit 10% as she told them. A bird at hand is better than thousand flying.
They didn’t know why?
Perhaps I hate her or jealous.
No.
She’s a scam. I saw it and started warning.
Many listened to me. Others made excuses for her. Some forwarded my screenshot where I was telling them that Ovaoiza is a scam, they should pull their money. They sent the screenshot to her circle, clique to buy more favour from her or to be seen as good people.
Those screenshots still came back to my table as the Abuja clique fly it amongst themselves to tag me a gossip. Amongst that clique, I am worst than devil. I want to take away food from their mouth as they all have share and partake in this scam. They, of course know I don’t care about their existence.
Imagine telling someone you care for to take away his or her money from a scammer, the person forward the screenshot to the circle of the same Ponzi scammer to call you names. Ezigbo mmadụ.
I saw those things and laughed. Na still their clique go leak am. This is why I said it’s dangerous to do clique on social media or joining any. Stay in your lane.
Now, those who forwarded those screenshots don’t even have the face to come to me.
Those trailer loads of garri she showed you guys bụ akụkọ ndị mgbu. She’ll go where they are offloading goods and do live video in the north and claim it belongs to her. Maybe get a few bags and write OVI to prove to you guys that she’s doing something.
There was never a business.
See this screenshot from one of the former partners.
Everything is premediated and planned. Not business gone wrong.
