Nigerians drag Forbes, others for promoting Invictus Obi

Not only was this Invictus Obi guy on Forbes 30 Under 30, he’s also been on BBC, given a TED Talk, spoke at London School of Economics Africa Summit, was nominated for “Young African Business Leader” at The AABLA Awards, & was a contributor for Forbes.

Yahoo boy with portfolio.

Disgraceful of Forbes to not undo the grey areas before publishing Obinwanne Okeke.

Quite painful they are all backtracking and leaving him now. Also quite unfortunate people were all over Obinwanne Okeke with: “Awww awwwww God when, God when”…….“Oh! and he’s not even 30 and Forbes already know him”😥

Never envy rich and successful folks; Be motivated only.

Forbes trying to explain why they featured:
1) Pablo Escobar
2) El Chapo
3) Obinwanne Okeke AKA Invictus Obi
To the FBI.

Your favorite MCM here also appeared on Forbes online as a respected figure. He helped Obinwanne Okeke to get that press feature on Forbes. Million was spent to get Obi on the cover of that Forbes. Your Favorite WCW blogger knew about the deal. Ask her.

Lessons from Invictus Obi fraud:

1. Forbes should invest more on due diligence mechanisms rather than make a rush to fill their list.

2. If you ar a yahoo yahoo masked with tie &suit, just stop.

3. No more trust for even true entrepreneurs. Obinwanne Okeke has bad imaged all

Forbes celebrated a fraudster, that didnt stop the FBI from doing a detailed investigation and catching the criminal, but EFCC and Nigeria Police will want to explain how our traditional rulers giving chieftaincy titles to criminals hamper their work of prosecuting criminals. pic.twitter.com/rCXqw7hH2z
