VillagePipu:
Persecution complex which has eaten into the psyche of a lot of people makes them unable to analyse issues objectively. They see things from the angle of hatred, persecution, marginalisation and so.

Everything that happens to them is as a result of others being jealous of them and persecuting them even when such occurrence is because they were involved in crime and deserve punishment.

They never deserve punishment for wrongdoing, others are always jealous of them and out to get them. Very Idiotic mentality.

If I have my way, I'd kill dumb Nigerian youths who attach the emboldened to issues within a twinkling of an eye. I stand by this word.

Im very sure Oga Onyema does not know and did not send this one. Charge and bail bro wants to key in quickly for some favours.

I want to believe that lawyer is just joking, cause he will only help to complicate things for his client. If he eventually to go and face trial in the US, relying on one injunction, then he should know he just pushed the button for the nose-diving and crash of Air Peace.

Igbos are always quick at defending their Criminal Brothers.

Decolonel:
You see this country will never move forward. Why are they trying so hard to bring this man down?. A man that single handedly brought Nigerians that were stuck in SA during the xenophobic attack. He spent millions doing a humanitarian job just to do good and here they are digging up his mistake in order to ensure his downfall.

God will vindicate him. If not for anything, for the sake of the sacrifices he has made in this country.

Appeal to pity approach wont work here especially when a sane country with strong institution is involved.

Let mr Onyema clear his name without throwing truancy like he just did with his lawyer and come back stronger than ever unless otherwise he has something up his sleeves to hide.

DexterousOne:

What does ethnicity have to do With this?

Did he deny it?

Decolonel:
There's something definitely wrong with Nigerians. I think its better to do your business and don't give a fvck about this hopeless country. If they can be this heartless to bring this man down, who am I to think of helping this zoo

Just curious to know who this 'THEY' is.

Jakpon:
The allegation against Allen Onyeama is a calculated attempt by the US Justice Department to marginalise we Igbos. America is jealous of we Igbos because we are the one that developed America. 99% of the mansions in America belongs to we Igbos. AMERICA IS NO MANS LAND!!

Tell me you are kidding

Sanchez01:

I so hate the way the average Nigerian is programmed to think. What Onyema did in South Africa is noble and rare but then, this is an indictment, from an investigation from 2010. Whom do you think is trying to take him down?

If he feels that way, why can't him show up in a Federal U.S. court with his lawyers; win the case, prove his innocence and sue the DOJ for defamation and libel?

Onyema is innocent for now but he won't be vindicated from anything if the accusations leveled against him are true. He won't escape it because the system over there works and isn't based on sentiments.

You won't have type this rubbish if onyema happens to be a Yoruba man. We already know how you lots cover your criminals with persecution/victimization/marginalization cards. Let onyema go clear his name if he's so innocent. He's a businessman for Pete's sake or doesn't want to protect his business's interest again? Think before you type next time.

This self acclaimed OMONILE of Lekki should better be informed that he will be extradite to America the day he step his foot on any country that have such treaty with America. They should keep on deceiving him and be putting the blame on Buhari.

DexterousOne:


The question should be

Why are things like these always tribalised

The question, though rhetorical, should be directed at those who see this and similar others as an attempt to cripple the Igbo people.

He should go and defend himself and clear his name (if he thinks he Is innocent)

He should...

But then
Nigerians will always see things from a tribalised lens

So you're saying he shouldn't again because issues will always be seen from a tribalised viewpoint?

From the dumb afonja throwing aspersions on him and his ethnic group all over social media, to the Igbos defending him gullibly

The dumb Afonjas and every Nigerian stood up to defend Onyema when the first report of his indictment came out. Everything changed the moment his kinsmen started attacking Afonjas alongside the Nigerian government of being responsible and trying to frustrate the Igbo people. Guess what happened after...

I used to be naive and was a non-tribalist until some retired Flat.ties, namely Afam4eva and the likes saw intelligent arguments from tribal angles. And the lesser intelligent ones resorted to name calling and threats. It wasn't so long before I morphed into one.

My point? The victimization mentality, marginalization, persecution mindset and open support for crime just because he is one of us belongs to the Igbos. No matter how good someone is, you are no longer that way if your record is tainted with criminal allegations. Onyema should go and answer to his case and trying to use the head of Nigerians. I respected him a whole lot up until now and I'm fast beginning to see him for the fraud that he is. Of course he isn't the first to go this way and won't be the last.

To me if he should face the law.

But if he is innocent he should fight his case.

Let the Nigerian govt fight for that money the Us govt seized from him that money can do alot for Nigeria. At least it can construct like 10rural roads

Idiot. I'm not even Yoruba to begin with. So where is your craze coming from?

Yes you're igbó!

Gazzy88:
Yes you're igbó!

It seems your parents told you there are only two ethnic groups in Nigeria. You must have had a horrible education.

So they can use nigeria Abracada court system to judge the case. Let him clear his name if truly is not guilty. JAMES IBORI had hundred plus count charges in Nigeria he won all cases. He was nabbed in Oversea with just only one count chagre and allegation, Gbam, he pleaded guilty immediately in order to get lesser jail term. NIGERIA MY COUNTRY WHERE EVERYTHING HAPPEN IN ABRACADABA LEVEL.

Sebi e say e no do any crime

Make e just sharply go Yankee go testify and come back na

None of that chest beating bs

You're dealing with the FBI, not EFCC. These ones aren't dumbos

lol

Let him go and defend himself na
Abi he is guilty ni?

SoNature:
For him to pursue this legal action, it simply suggests that Mr. Onyema is presumably guilty.

This is common sense.

This man will have bad press in a long time.

u are a good psychologist

mcmbonu:
I have seen on this forum the poor and average rise to the defense of the super rich yet he is defended by no one. Poverty have no relative.

Many top Nigeria business men and women have no honour. They launder taxpayers funds for different politicians.

The day the wind will blow over Dangote, the poor will learn never to sing the praises of those whose history of little beginnings were never documented

as in eh...the way poor Nigerians defend corrupt rich Nigerians eh

Dareal90s:

I wonder which school d fool graduated from.

I think u need to ask yourself that question rather than asking the dude.. ..if onyema is innocent,he should go to USA and clear his name and file defamation suit afterwards....if he doesn't,that would end the progress of air peace international route

I sold land in Lekki to start airline business.... Onyeama

u are one of the few nairalanders with sense.....if he refuse to go to United States,that would be the end of air peace internationally...federal government already signed extradition agreement with america

After all the noise, he will be extradited to the US. He will be convicted of the crime. He will serve his jail term. Then maybe after his jail term, he will be extradited to Canada too. Where he will be convicted and jailed again.

You can all scream tribalism all you like.

The US and Canadian justice systems can't be both wrong on this.

Every day for the thief, one day for the owner.

Decolonel:

Now, you are being tribalistic. Did I mention any tribe in my comment?. Now, I see where this whole hatred is coming from. So I must be Igbo to express myself in the way I did. Thats ridiculous bro

You see what I posted earlier about those who shout hatred, marginalisation, etc?

You can't think straight because you suffer from persecution complex.

I think I just realized... Gazzy88, sorry oooo... Seems you took a bullet not meant for you

Funny, never thought of this...

When one considers the venom laden bile promptly vomited on this platform by people from both sides of the tribal divide, i.e Yoruba and Igbo, I cannot but agree with those who believe that the survival of our Nigerian contraption is not within sight! Often, I realize that while many are just ignorant and naive, others seem to be paid to orchestrate and hype the division.

Until we decide to go our separate ways, we must realize that we need each other to forge ahead, even as neighbors. Great minds in the entertainment industry, e.g the Nollywood, are very aware of this and are doing fine both for themselves and for Nigeria.

Those who are engaged in this tribal diatribe are sure idle brains even if they are paid to do so.
This trend has gone beyond mere sarcasm, and of course, contributes nothing to humanity - which includes you and me.

According to Kwasi Wiredu, a Ghanian thinker, intellectualism goes beyond mere defense one's tribe, you must be a resource to humanity. When next you contribute to the social platform, don't just derive happiness in attacking others, or being sentimental and hurting people, be a resource to humanity. I know some people will still come after me and will accuse me of 'oversabi'.
