Knocks As Air Peace CEO Says Those Earning N200K Monthly In Nigeria Are Better Than Those Earning £2000 In UK (video)
Allen Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace, has come under fire after he said that those earning two hundred thousand Naira monthly in Nigeria are better off than those earning two thousand pounds in the United Kingdom (UK).
He said this while appearing as a guest on TVC. Speaking on the economic crisis and strength of the Naira, Onyema said he agrees that the bulk of the issue is “artificial”.
“Go to London, if you earn two thousand pounds a month in London, you’re a pauper. What two thousand pounds can afford you is like two hundred thousand Naira.”
“The person earning two hundred thousand Naira in Nigeria is better,” Onyema said.
He added that with earnings of 200,000, a Nigerian can afford a maid, a driver and other domestic staff.
Onyema further affirmed that he believes completely that the Naira has more value than is being projected when compared to other foreign currencies.
The Airpeace Boss appealed to Nigerians to stop demonetising the country.
