Dear friends, it has come to my attention that Green Partners Farm, also trading as Whales Energy Ventures has reneged on its payment agreements to investors and members of the general public. This has been going on for months, even before COVID-19.

While in a state of indebtedness, the company kept on raising funds, collecting monies from other members of the public, even while owing others. It is a given that they made money for months.

Therefore, to stoop to using COVID-19 as an excuse to not pay, can be taken as a high display of insensitivity and callousness.

It makes nonsense of the global epidemic and the genuine suffering being felt by businesses across Nigeria. Hence, no one should fall for their excuse or accept it. In my opinion, it is a display of bad faith.

With that in mind, this is a public caution for members of the public to beware. I also call on Green Partners to pay its debts and desist from collecting additional funds from the general public or from using COVID 19 as a shield.

I call on Mr. Kayode Bankole, MD of Green Partners, the company's shareholders & lawyer to reach out to investors & stop avoiding calls. A crisis is not the time to avoid conflict. Rather it is a time to man up & engage extensively with stakeholders in truth & honour. Thank you
