“Anybody Earning 200K Monthly In Nigeria Is Better Than Someone That Is Earning 2000 Dollars In The UK Or USA” – Airpeace Boss, Allen Onyeoma

Allen Onyema, Air Peace chief executive officer (CEO), is trending on X (formerly Twitter) following his claim that anybody earning N200,00 in Nigeria is better than someone who is earning £2,000 in the United Kingdom (UK).

The comment has elicited reactions on X from Nigerians. Onyema’s comment sparks reactions on social media.

Speaking recently on Television Continental (TVC), Onyema said: “I support what Mr Cardoso (Olayemi) said. Mr Cardoso (CBN governor) once said ‘this whole thing (the current exchange rate) is artificial’, that the Naira has more value that is being projected through the dollar. I believe it in total.

“Go to London, if you earn N2,000 pounds a month in London, you are a pauper. What the £2,000 can afford you is like N2,000. A Nigerian would sit down and calculate it, ‘o, N2,000 to a pound; that guy is earning much – 4 million’. The person earning N200,000 in Nigeria is better.

You might have a maid, you might have a driver. What I’m trying to say in essence is that we should stop stigmatising our country.”
