Allen Onyeama, the CEO of Air Peace Nigeria in an interview with Arise News revealed the intent behind the evacuations of Nigerians from South Africa.
According to the multibillionaire, he did what he did to pass on a message that Nigerians should not be toyed with. He explained that as Nigerians even though we have our differences, we are a single country and we shouldn’t be unfairly treated anywhere we find ourselves.
He further explained that he also wished to encourage others who are privileged to embark on such similar acts to help indigenous Nigerians, either by supporting locally owned businesses or lifting other people up.
When asked if he hoped for some form of retribution from the Federal Government, he explained that no one forced him to do what he did, but only volunteered to help Nigerians upon seeing what they suffered in South Africa and the despair in them.
Allen Onyeama believes that he can’t take his wealth with him to the grave and as such, being a blessing to others is a worthy legacy for him. He hopes for others to follow suit. Watch the details of the interview here.
Allen Onyeama has been celebrated by the House of Representatives for his patriotic acts and kind deeds. Evacuations of Nigerians from South Africa is still a work in progress as a new set of 319 Nigerians arrived the shores of the Country via Air Peace.
