My next post was inspired by something I saw whilst on this trip to Amsterdam Professor Moshood Abiola Peller (1941 – 2 August 1997) was a Nigerian magician. He started performing in 1954 in Nigeria and in 1964 he attended the school of magical arts in India. In 1966, he had his first post-training show at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos. Sadly, in 1997 he was assassinated

At the IBC conference in Amsterdam

“Father of modern Nigeria”, OBJ .... displaying his dancing skills whilst effortlessly retrieving his fleeing right shoe.

Despite the flight manifest reflecting most of the 5 % he once talked about. It would have been great if President Buhari had gone to meet the returning Nigerians who had fled South Africa because of fear of xenophobic attacks If only for the positive PR. Anyway, here is a video of Head of State Gowon, meeting the refugee children of Biafra as they arrived back to Nigeria from Ivory Coast after the civil war in Nov 1970

“When I stepped inside the aircraft to welcome them, they mobbed me and started singing the Nigerian national anthem. There was nobody there singing about separation. They felt proud to be Nigerians. They rose in unison. That drew tears from me.” - Allen Onyema, Chairman, Air Peace Via Kaanayo Nwachukwu

My Man Of The Year By Uche Nworah My man of the year is Chief Allen Onyema, Owner of Air Peace airlines. At a time Nigerians were being killed in South Africa and their businesses looted, he courageously deployed an aircraft to bring home Nigerians willing to come home at no cost. The joyous scenes of their departure from South Africa and arrival in Nigeria are both heartwarming and inspiring. Images of young kids clutching unto their parents reminded one of a scene in the movie - 90 Minutes at Entebbe, but this time with a happy and glorious ending. The welcoming scenes aboard the aircraft at Murtala Muhammed International airport, Lagos had everyone tearing up including Chief Onyema himself who said that he was moved to deploy the aircraft by the need to restore the dignity of Nigeria and Nigerians, and also to send a message to the world that Nigerians will always stand up for each other in time of need, Onye aghana nwanne ya. This Anambra - born peace and conflict strategist has once again rekindled the Igbo spirit of Nwanne Di Na Mba. His action has demonstrated the triumph of humanity over ‘iberiberism’ (apologies Owelle Rochas). Let history be kind to Chief Onyema for walking the talk and doing the needful at a time like this when what is expected is action and not words. He has said that Air Peace Airlines will continue to make the flights available for as long as there are Nigerians still stuck in South Africa and wish to come home. This is how to engrave your name in gold in the hearts of your people. Sad that in a country of billionaires and private jet owning individuals, no one else felt touched or moved to help. And for all you tithe paying church members funding the lavish jet lifestyles of some pastorpreneurs, maybe you should ask them what those PJs are doing parked in the hangars when our people are being slaughtered in South Africa. @ucheNworah Video: Chief Allen Onyema, owner of Air Peace Airlines tears up as he personally welcomes home returning Nigerians from South Africa.
