Armed with the fearlessness of Achilles and grace of Terpsichore, Barrister Allen Onyema, head honcho of Nigeria’s airline Air Peace, is no pushover in the league of extraordinary business moguls, who developed an interest in the growth of Nigeria. According to a business pundit, his investment in the aviation sector since the advent of Air peace in 2014 cannot be overlooked with the wave of a hand.

Onyema has indeed crested his name in gold as his record in the industry cannot be broken anytime soon. At a time when most of his peers were moving their investment to foreign countries, Allen invested in his father’s land, creating direct and indirect employment, increasing his fleets with brand new aircraft thereby globalizing Nigeria’s aviation sector by flying Nigeria high across the sky to the rest of the world.

If you wonder how he was able to break barriers by rising to an enviable height in business, his passion, patriotism, and love for impacting his immediate environment further spurred him to greatness.

If there is one thing Allen is known for, it’s his love for peace and unity. Those close to him during his formative years noted that he is a peacemaker who not only preaches it but also lives by it.

To further extend his quest for peace and harmony in the country, the Law graduate from the University of Ibadan, last week turned a preacher when he spoke from his heart to an array of passengers aboard flight 7120 Lagos to Abuja. During his speech, the generous moneybag spoke on the greatness in our unity as one nation and one entity.

He harped on the need for Nigeria to remain one citing an example of the United States of America, known for its diverse racial background which makes it a great country today. “The diversity we have is the best thing that can ever happen to us as a nation. Let’s make it work. Let’s stop engaging in blame games. Let’s stop engaging in the stigmatization of ethnicity. Let us work as Nigerian’s.”
