    And in today’s episode of Totally Un-self-aware,

    The company’s founder, Eric Umeofia, refused to budge, however, saying in a recent documentary on the local Arise Television channel that he won’t drop the lawsuit against Okoli and that he would “rather die than allow someone to tarnish my image I worked 40 years to grow.”

    So this asshole is the person churning up that poor woman’s isolated bad review into ALL the Streisand effect he can possibly get, as hard as he can, to the point that it is now international news how abysmally shitty his product really is, AND he’s also the person announcing dramatically that he’d rather die than allow anyone to do that.

    Hmmm. Will he ever connect the dots?

    Nah. He’ll just keep blaming and harassing that poor woman for the rest of his days while people stop buying his product in droves because both it and he leave such a bad taste in the mouth.

        The woman being harassed by this company and the police is the only that’s 39. The article doesn’t mention the founder’s age, and he definitely looks older than 39 from a quick search.

        He’s only 39 with a 40 year old image

        Lol, great catch! I totally missed that.

        EDITED TO ADD: It was the lady who was 39, not the guy suing her. My bad. I should probably just go ahead and revisit Hooked on Phonics now because I can’t fucking read, lol.

        Blood may be thicker than water but tomato sauce is thicker than blood.
