Nigeria Pageant From Contracted Organiser, Elizabeth Aisien 2weeks To
Event ...the hidden details of two invites, barring of A-listers and breach of contract rights.

Her grouse is that she was 'swindled' by event owners led by controversial man about town, Fidelis Anosike.
Insiders
alleged after utilising her contacts and pulling her influence into
play to get sponsors and commitment from creditable A-listers to attend,
the event was literarily 'hijacked' by Mr Anosike and his crew.
And
in the process, agreed terms with some of the sponsors were breached
and guests expected to uplift the occasion with their presence
maltreated at the gate.
Giving an insight into the development,
an insider explained ' about two weeks to the event, Mr Anosike and his
crew requested a meet with Mrs Aisien to have a proper grasp of what she
has done so far to make the event a success...and she laid out
everything for them, including confirmed and expected sponsors. But
unknown to her, there was an ulterior motive'
An insider
revealed, her employers used the information to plot a take over that
resulted in direct talks with the sponsors, emergence of another invite
and put in place of security arrangement that did not honour the invite
she printed and her guests maltreated!.
Witnesses confirmed to
societynowng.com that the likes of Eyo Effiong,Kelechi Amadi Obi, Leo
Stan-Ekeh, Willie and Nkiru Anumudu bearing black colored invites issued
by the Beth Models boss were bounced!. They later secured entry when
the organiser personally came to speak with the head of security
operating under the tag Chief Security Officer (C.S.O).
Mrs
Aisien was heard lamenting to the other personnels that 'who is this
C.S.O?...I don't know any C.S.O, I organised this event, this can't be
happening to my guests...where is he!'
This was after the gate keepers kept some A-listers out and she was received calls of complains on phone.

learnt, the C.S.O and his crew were part of the arrangements used to
take over the event from her. Bearers of the green in white envelope
invites issued by Mr Anosike and his team enjoyed free passage.
More
digs by societynowng.com revealed Elizabeth Aisien had more to contend
with inside. She reportedly signed a sponsorship with drink people,
Martini -on behalf of the pageant, as the sole provider of their kind of
service for the night. This proved untrue, arrangements were made
behind her back to serve other brands. And the Martini crew protested of
breach of contract and betrayal of trust. She was helpless to correct
the situation.
Further finds revealed, even accommodation and venue provider- Intercontinental had issues of their own to iron out with her.
Societynowng.com
learnt the tainting of her relationship with her 'publics' and loss of
expected revenue in some quarters is the bedrock of the quiet fight with
the Mr Anosike and his crew of pageant owners.
Sources confirmed
the battle is being kept quiet based on the intricate linkage of the
combatants. The aggrieved's hubby,Owen Aisien has business relationship
with Mr Anosike. And Beth Model has prospects of involvements in some of
the companies the Daily Times boss has interests in.
Sources insists whether these factors will aide quick resolution of simmering dispute is unsure at press time.

6 2013. The venue was hospitality place, Intercontinental- Lagos.
