Nah, I’m glad you guys watched the same film as me.

Can we also talk about how, if we’re keeping it a buck, the Brotherhood had way too many flaws to be a sustainable organisation? Can we take a closer look at their business/op. model?

Major red flags for me:

1. Genuinely think their model is too dependent on souls. They can spread their portfolio a bit. Destinies (ask Yoruba cults) are a lot cleaner. They are volatile, yes, but what do people say about high risk?

2. Their membership. Two of their members had to back out and those are only the ones we know of. Some major recruitment and/or management issues—how did they not have a system for what happened to Obinna? A cultist getting haunted by a ghost is expected now.

3. Their governance was a major red flag. How does it work? Everyone reports to Richard? Is there a board? An exec team? I felt like they under-utilised senior members like Chief Omego, who could easily mentor new recruits. It’s not by asking for kisses in people’s dreams.

Side-bar, is that what Chief Omego does? Just shows up in your dream asking to kiss the lion? How many members has he done that to? Can someone raise it with HR? That’s not a good look abeg. Which brings my fourth red flag: image.

5 (finally) Exit. This is a larger issue with Nigerian orgs taking exits personal. But exits are important for growth. See how they were all squeezing inside that tiny initiation basement. It’s not practical. Plus, it’s 2020. The Brotherhood should have an alumni network.
