[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

Got this via e-mail yesterday!

"Dear Chidi Anthony Opara,

 I am pleased to inform you that the Council of the Institute of Management Consultants (IMC-Nigeria) has nominated you for the Fellowship of the Institute of Management Consultants (FIMC). This is the highest grade of the Institute’s Membership and is reserved for accomplished professionals of your level and status in the profession. This is not an invitation to receive an Honorary Fellowship. You are well and appropriately educated in your field of professional calling. You have ample experience that makes you suitable to add Management Consultancy as a platform to offer your knowledge and expertise as a commodity in the knowledge economy. So, the Institute of Management Consultants is extending this humble invitation to you to consider the possibility of becoming a full professional member of the Institute. We believe your knowledge and experience can add value to what we have been doing over the years. We also believe that we can contribute to making your professional knowledge available to society through the platform of Management Consultancy."

Oga Chidi,

I no go say congratulations o. I suspect a great scam here. I have been receiving this type of mail since last year. I have received the same mail thrice in the last three weeks. One of the mails was even addressed MRS ADESHINA AFOLAYAN, PhD. Notice that the payment fee of 150'000 naira is written in bold type. There's a way these scammers harvest names and addresses. 

Beware sir!

Dede Chidi,

I have received this many times. If you do not accept this, expect more from them in the coming months. It begins with what looks like a neutral offer but it is a ploy to get you to pay and financially support their work - this is what I observed. I did not investigate if it was a scam but I noticed the trap and escaped.

Adeshina,Joem,
Thanks for your concerns. It is not a scam, but they desperately need funds.

I however, do not intend to take the offer, for the major reason that I do not intend to be a Management Consultant.

Moreover, I am already a Fellow of the very credible Institute of Information Management, Africa, Information management being my core area of competence.

I do not think that I need another Fellowship.

Thanks again for your concerns, I appreciate them.

CAO.

Oga Chidi,

The fundamental issue is why should a supposedly major organization attempt to raise fund by harvesting email addresses and sending fellowship offer to uncountable number of people who are not even in the field of management? What kind of funding drive is that? What moral basis does it have? A fellowship for all comers? Haba!

Adeshina,
In fairness to them, I do not think that they send the invitation to "all and sundry", or that they give "Fellowship to all comers", maybe, honorary fellowship. Moreover, anyone in the humanities can be trained to be a Management Consultant, I think that that is what they do.

Well, just my opinion, I do not work or associated with them. I may be wrong.

I prefer to leave this matter here.

CAO.
