Sir Joseph Ezeokafor, Anambra-born industrialist and the founder of the Jezco group, is spending his 10th night in the dens of the kidnappers who kidnapped him while he was on his knees, seeking the face of our God last week Tuesday at Ifite Awka.
All appears not to be well at his home front, as his first child and oldest daughter, Ezeokafor Blessing has taken to social media to call out her younger brother and Instagram celebrity, Eberechukwu Jowizaza, heaping the blame on what the patriarch is currently going through and the family business’s precarious financial condition to his online activities and the exaggeration he portrays to the public.
In a series of rants on her personal page, Blessing Ezeokafor, who is a Madonna-trained lawyer, made so many damaging allegations about her younger brother, which I will summarise below.
1) She alleged that her family is not as wealthy and rich as Jowizaza portrays online, as what he is living is a fake life, as the money he claims he has does not exist, and rather, audio money, in her words.
2) She also alleged that because of the fake life and the audio money that her brother projects online, the general public erroneously believes that her family is wealthy, which is not true, as Jowi’s lifestyle is exaggerated and not the true reality of things.
3) She also alleged that because of her brother's fake lifestyle, a target was put on the back of their dad, as she primarily blames Jowizaza's lifestyle for being responsible for the scrutiny and the unnecessary exposure that led to the dad kidnapping.
In her words, her dad is a quiet humble man whose only devotion and mission is to serve God, as he does not want or need the unnecessary social media exposure brought on him by the son’s lavish online lifestyle.
4) She also alleged that her brother ran the dad’s business down financially through his reckless lifestyle, and because of that, Jezco is facing bankruptcy and owing banks.
5) She alleged that the Jezco group owes FCMB a 40 billion loan which is yet to be paid back as of today, and another bank account of the Jezco business is currently frozen because of the unpaid loan, and it is primarily because of the way Jowizaza ran the business before he was removed as a director of the company by their dad, who is currently in the den of kidnappers.
6) She also went to make more damaging allegations that to save the Jezco group from financial ruin and liquidation, Jowiza, her brother, was removed as a director of the company and then placed on a monthly salary of 1 million naira by their dad.
7) She did not stop there; she made further allegations that her brother can’t boast of 100 million in liquidity as of today while wondering the wisdom in accepting to pay 700 million ransom before the kidnappers increased the ransom to 1.5 billion in order to release their dad.
Where will her brother get the money from? She questioned
Is it from his monthly 1 million monthly allowance that he received from the company? She asked in her rants.
8)She concluded the rants by begging the kidnappers to release her dad because he did nothing wrong to be kidnapped while putting the blame of their patriarchal ordeal on her brother for living a fake life on Instagram and projecting an exaggerated wealth that does not exist.
9) The allegations are damaging and damning.
Whether it is true or not is our business.
Our business is that Sir Joseph Ezeokafor should be released.
He is a 72-year-old man, and he is too fragile health-wise to be held for this long without his HBP medication
