Chinmark crash: How Marksman used investors money to do ‘father Christmas’ for fans

As reactions continue to trail the fall of ponzi scheme, Chinmark Group, IDOMA VOICE recalls when its chairman and President Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah, gifted a lady a cheque of five hundred thousand naira (N500,000.00) after his convoy splashed water on her.
Little did many know he was doing father Christmas with people’s money.

Mr. Markson Ijiomah who disclosed this then on his verified Facebook page, claimed he was shcoked by the lady’s reaction after the incident.

He, therefore, instructed his convoy to stop then he called the young lady to apologize to her on behalf of his team.

His message reads;

“today, on our way back from the day’s business, one of the protocol cars mistakenly splashed water on a young lady who was walking by. I am often alert and so when I observed her actions, I needed to apologise.

Unlike what a lot of people would do, the young lady did not scream or curse at our cars . She cleaned herself up without a word and walked on.

This act of calmness in the face of such chaos and disruption called my attention.

Immediately, I instructed the cars to park and I called the young lady to apologize on behalf of my team. Of course, when she came, we apologized to her as much as words could convey and I asked her what she did for a living and when she said she was a fashion designer, we thought of the best way to assist her and eventually signed a cheque of half a million naira (500k) to her.
I dislike conducts that put others in uneasy places and I never encourage it. But the calmness that this lady exhibited was truly profound and I couldn’t ignore it.
May our conducts in the face of uneasy situations enable others have a rethink. May it teach others important lessons about life.
