Nice write up bro. You did a good job here. However with respect to Onyemas case, he’s in for a long ride. The US government won’t go public if they don’t have a substantial evidence against him. They must have reviewed the case and it was determined beyond reasonable doubt that’s he’s guilty and has a case to answer. Forget all these Igbo Yoruba rants on nairaland. The way system works in the US is different in the sense that, government knows the consequences of going public with false or unverified claims. Can I tell you the truth, the guy will be running from pillar to post and consulting marabouts all around. Come to think of it, what was the source of his investment if not a front for some people stealing our commonwealth? I hear people scream to high heavens that Tinubu, Otedola, Dangote are rich. Most of these guys are living large on the failures of the system and robbing us blind daily. Anyway, I wish him all the best in his endeavors and not to travel to even Dubai in the near east future or else, a room is waiting for him in Colorado Springs.

IRS statistics for 2018 show that individuals with incomes between $200,000 and $1 million who file a Schedule C had a 1.4% audit rate. Report $1 million or more of income?

hammerD: Why do you blame foreigners for the failure of your leaders? Your very daft leaders! You are not Mr Onyema's spokesman, he should go and clear his name with the relevant US authorities. A million comments from you explaining or defending him will change zilch! If it was the EFCC that indicted him, I may consider the Nigerian factor and accept that he's being victimized.However, this is coming from the United States. Look, Americans are not foolish people; they are well aware that Mr. Onyema is a special client of their airplane maker Boeing. BTW, do you recall that despite all the pressure for Donald Trump to sanction the Saudi Prince over the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, he refused to do that? Do you why? The answer is simple: Saudi Arabia is an American ally in the Gulf and major US companies' client. This means that they want you to bring lots of money and patronize their products. Nevertheless, the authorities don't want you to bring in looted funds into their country. Even if you must do it, keep it off their prying eyes or get a red flag. So, Mr. Onyema has to go and clear his name so that the press release will be withdrawn or better still, the US department that released the press statement will apologise and clear the air. Until that is done, many Nigerians will continue to consider him as another Bola Tinubu or Atiku Abubakar, who people believe don't have a good reputation due to past fraud cases. 9 Likes 1 Share |

OruExpress: I've been saying this for years. It stems from many Nigerians not wanting to admit that European incursions into Africa were about theft and exploitation. This seems especially true of those who call themselves xtians - they don't want to accept that what the Europeans did was soften the minds of the population via religion to make it easier to steal. Until Nigerians learn to view themselves as a body to be protected from outsiders, especially those from outside the continent, they are going to keep being caught unawares. There is nothing in north America or Europe that we cannot replicate or improve upon here but until Nigerians come to see that to be true they will keep running elsewhere thinking that money/education/status will protect them from humiliation and abuse. History shows that it will not. 7 Likes |

You can be living in obvious self denials as it has always been with Igbos on every matters, but there are more mentally unstable people in your tribe than anywhere in Nigeria. Also we all know that 98% wealth by the Igbos have criminal sources, you can pretend as though it is not so but you know it's. 8 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=InvertedHammer post=84311690]/ I love how people in Nigeria or other ignorant Nigerians are chiming in without understanding the factors at play. If I wire anything above $3000 from my domiciliary account, the bank must notify IRS about the transaction. If I carry more than $10,000 through any US airport without declaring it. The fund will be seized by the authorities if found and I will be charged with money laundering without all the sensation that follows Onyema's ordeal. They will want to know the source of the fund. Onyema has to show the source of the fund and possibly be penalized if the paperworks were not correctly filled out. An African (especially Nigerian) moving such funds around will definitely attract scrutiny. They will find away to throw in tax evasion too in the mix. The sad thjng is that after all the gragra, the prosecutor may file nolle prosequi but the damage is done already. / [/quote Bro, it’s standard practice post 9/11. In a well organized environment, sources of wealth should be traced. Money laundering regulations was enacted to prevent or minimize washing illegitimate funds into the system and to safeguard against terrorism. Just of recent, a guy was charged because he transferred 500 dollars to Syria. The feds proved that he was financing ISIS. In addition, they don’t want scenarios where someone will wake up one day and tell us that Tinubu was a billionaire before he became the governor in 1999. 7 Likes |

the issue here is not whether america wants to destroy air peace, or becos he is from a certain tribe,or that he is black,when you move a huge sum to purchase product from a non existent company.and after the transfer you transfer that same money to various personal accounts, that's money laundering. if you wanted that cash in your personal accounts you could have just made a direct transfer. 6 Likes 1 Share |

So monopoly, tax evasion are regarded as anti-society. The " you nkor" mentality we have in Nigeria is a major impediment to economic prosperity. As you can see, this Onyema matter has quickly become an igbo-yoruba palaver. You nkor! 11 Likes 1 Share |

He was also transferring money from his NGO bank accounts in Nigeria to Hhis US accounts, using the money for his own personal use; buying luxury cars for himself ert. That alone is against the law and is enough to flag his accounts. One of tbe US banks once closed his account and gave him his money back. Oga we no wan bank with you again. If you live in the western world, you will know how banks wake up in the morning and write to you that they don't want to bank with you again.

Air Peace: This Entire Stuff Smells of Nigerian/International Conspiracy Like I always say, no matter how strong your allegiance for Nigeria is, provided you came from Igboland, Nigerians and Nigerian government will still come after you to frustrate you in business. Don't be surprised that those who outnumbered other ethnic groups that were rescued from South Africa by this man are involved in this setup, in collaboration with foreign airline operators. Till when will these Igbo business moguls understand that they can't flourish in one Nigeria that they always try to belong to, till when will they understand that no matter how hard they try to identify with one Nigeria, that the Fulanis and the Yorubas will never love them? They did this to: - Engr. Ezekiel Izuogu who was the first automobile producer in black Africa, who produced a prototype he called Z300 automobile, he was frustrated and silenced till today. - Ibeto Who owned a chemical plant in the USA, and also produced a large scale of cement and planned to flood the Nigerian market with it in a very low price of $1 per bag, he was frustrated and was forced out of production of cement while those cements were still on the high seas upon till this day, he also pays dumorage for them till this moment. - Innoson Who started automobile production of cars and other vehicles and planned to give brand new vehicles to Nigerians at loan basis to help the common man in Nigeria to own a car, he is also being frustrated by harsh government policies using Yoruba Bank and other means to frustrate him despite he is producing long lasting jet batteries and helicopter breaking system for the Nigerian army, yet the government keep frustrating him because they feel he comes from the wrong region. - What about Engr. Prof. Bath Nnaji The former minister of power who really wanted to bring Nigerians out of darkness by creating over 10 000 KVA of electricity to prove he can comfortably end the lack of electricity supply to the homes of Nigerians, who also was the owner of Geometrics power plant, but he was also frustrated as well and that dream died a natural death while Nigerians remained in darkness till this day. Yet they keep on believing in a system that abhores and hates them with passion for being extra ordinary and for excelling in everything they put their hands to do. Till when will enough be enough? Till when will they come together and join these young generation to demand for their freedom knowing that they will flourish and propser more in their own country where their government will even help their dreams and innovations to manifest into fruition? Till when will this spell fall off from their eyes? Till when? By Princewill Akubumma 6 Likes |
