Are you God? You don't have power over the court case. Have you ever done any business before? If you have then you would know that while doing transaction with The US financial system that everything will be questioned and getting charges such as these is common in the US.
Mr onyema just needs to go and explain himself.

then he will come back and face efcc

bigpicture001:
Mumu....only a politician steals funds...which govt post did u ever give him...?

He conducted rehab nd training for ex- militants, mayb with inflated contract, can u prove that is charge was too much..? Was thete any report saying he didnt conduct the training..?

Dt he sent money abroad to buy planes nd sent some to his other accts or his partners acct is dt one fraud...? is any body's money missing..?

na only dumb people dey talk like this... illiterates everywhere

Larryfest:
If the government is truly serious about this basically all the factories run by Indians, Lebanese and Chinese in Nigeria will be closed down cos those guys use naija people anyhow they want without any remorse or consideration.

but Nigeria companies are worse

Atouke:
Unfounded allegation.

lol...... unfounded allegations?.... haven't u heard thatvair peace was built on stolen funds from amnesty

immhotep:
Because they should not resign because of mumu rumors.

mumu rumour ke?....this one never bear about how he looted mm obey meant for Niger Delta

bigpicture001:
Are you drunk...?

Resign from ur own company...? a coy dt is not a public company...? is that how ur master tinubu plans to have an airline biz....? please park welll

lol.....but the company is built on stolen funds ...it will automatically become a federal government property

Atouke:
For the purpose of argument and public engagement, Airline business is one of the few business that is absolutely difficult to operate without the cooperation of the USA and the US financial sector, mr onyema will doom his company if he fails to seperate himself immediately from the company to free it from his individual criminal charges.

I have read several reactions that the US or people's are using the US legal system to unfairly target mr onyema. My opinion is that that is highly unlikely,
1). US only comes after you if you are acting against the USA interest.
Mr Onyema is not competing against any US interest, his Airline is not competing in any route that any US airline is currently plying and non of his proposed international routes is in competition with any American airline. He wanted to fly Houston - Lagos, India- Lagos, China- Lagos, London- lagos and south America, none of this routes will compete with American interest hence the reason for my opinion.

2) Mr onyema has one thing going for him his airline uses 100% American made aircraft, he has Boeing and Embraer aircraft for those who don't know Embraer though a Brazilian company but, Boeing owns a substantial part of Embraer and collaborate with Embraer for designing a d development.
This is a major plus for mr onyema because being a customer of an American aircraft manufacturer he will have a lot of support in the US business community.
The reverse would have been the case if his airline was using Airbus aircraft.
For those who don't know Boeing is American number one export. The US government listen when Boeing speaks. Boeing's interest is American government interest.

3). Mr onyema is charged in the federal court in the state of Georgia, a plus for him is that the state of Georgia especially Atlanta has the most progressive and wealthiest blacks population in the US, hence a large population of black professionals in Georgia, hence mr onyema will have the cream of the crop lawyers to choose from. As opposed to being charged in a court in a state with few black people.

4). Mr onyema stand a good chance of winning this case, if they investigate the case since 2010, and only brought charges after 9yrs of investigations it means that the evidence against him is weak if not they would have move against him earlier.

5). America is a very litigious society, and that means this kind of allegations are common place in America, hence there is expertise on how to handle such cases successful, mr onyema should look for the best American lawyers for his case.
And invest his time away from his chairmanship position from his airline if he chooses to resign. to face this criminal case squarely.

6) mr onyema is a very wealthy man, that helps a lot in legal crisis as you can afford the best legal representation.

7). Even if mr onyema loses his case which is highly unlikely if he handles it properly. He will not likely go to jail, he will only be required to pay a fine which will be settled out of court.

. In my opinion Mr onyema has a favorable prognosis.

I have never seen such a dumb post in my life b4.....

onyema can't escape DoJ suit and if American sanctioned him,he will come back and face efcc for embezzling funds for MEND Amnesty during Jonathans era

hotwax:
How he can escape:
1. Bribe and do rankadede to some top apc politicians.
2. Let EFCC arrest him just the way the arrested mompha to protect him from interpol.

Efcc will help him kill the case easily..they are a criminal outlet like nurtw.

u are absolutely naive......efcc doesn't have a say in mompha and onyemas cases

TheTourist:
WHY ARE POSTS DEMEANING THIS MAN ALWAYS MOVED TO THE FRONT PAGE?? IS THERE SOME UNDERTONE TO THIS.......NAIRALAND & SUBTLE TRIBALISTIC TENDENCIES

but he is a thief..there is nothing tribalistic here

MOSICATED5:
See as resign they sweet una to talk for someone that has only been indicted. We should use this same energy to ask corrupt politicians to resign

is onyema not a corrupt politician?

nameo:
He is a crook?

Please can you tell what crookery he did? I mean, what is the INTENT of this "crime" he committed?

Just want to know

Sonu haven't heard?....he used money meant for Niger Delta militants amnesty to establish air peace....he looted MEND funds in connivance with his friend,Kingsley kuku( who was in charge of Amnesty funds for militants) to United States and later used the money to buy planes......he was the reason why MEND withdrew their support for Jonathan during presidential election

senbonzakurakageyoshi:
Damn this woman is shameless

how??..she is from river state,a Niger deltan....she has the right to her opinion as onyema looted funds meant for militants and Niger Delta

omohlexy:
They are both IGBO.They love betraying themselves.

Lauretta isn't ibo.....onyema was the main reason militants decided to support buhari instead of Jonathan...him and the amnesty chairman looted funds meant for militants

I wouldn't be surprised is the 'peace ' in air peace represent 'peace ' on mama peace.... patience could be the owner of air peace

Galaticos444:
I av problem not with d ladies but guys that her fan or fan of bbnaija,it jst don't add up

as in eh

they are still younger after 25 years

SalamRushdie:
EFCC should stay out of this , even the Americans are not accusing Onyeama bof corruption or theft but just of laundering money in their Economy.

the question is...where did he get the money from??..that's what effcc is trying to ask

Olominira:
Bla Bla Bla...FBI
Huawei is a security threat, that was US allegation as at May, today they're planning lifting the ban, why
It's no more a threat when some of their companies are feeling the heat

Huawei is a threat to maerican security ...same way Chinese government believed google, Facebook and Amazon wee threat to chinese

Guyman02:
US has been trying to stop the expansion of 5G, that's why they have been hounding Huawei. The Chinese are ahead of US Tech companies on 5G

true..but china banned Facebook,Google,Amazon and Wikipedia cos of social media and security and u think American govt shouldn't do same?

xelly:
Your wishes but not what happened. Current affair master.
Study the case before your claims.

not what happened??.... nairaland is riddled with illiterates.

DoJ fined Microsoft billions of dollars for breaking american laws and will fine Google,amazon,apple and Facebook by the time their probes is concluded..who will onyema or air peace when compared to world's most powerful companies that DoJ have handled

franchasng:
Shutup!! Do you know how many laws of other nations Apple, Boeing, Microsoft, Hp, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, etc have broken and yet heavens haven't fallen.


We must learn from the Chinese to grow like them and not allow US determine our progress.

Was that not how US Government went all out against Huaweii of China, but Chinese government stood behind Huaweii, today, the case is gone to the dust.....

US is no longer the only country that have access to technology....if US refuses to sell aircraft to Air Peace, AP can buy from Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, etc....whatever technology US have today, there and a handful of other nations that have same and ready to replace them.


Nigerian government should never succumb to US Govt threats on this Onyema case unless Buhari is truly a dullard like they alleged, what nonsense!!


Onyema did not steal nor loot anybody's money nor did he steal any money from any American bank or institution or individual, why label him a fraudster just like that What rubbish is that

apple broke European union's law and they were fine 13 billion dollars..Google and Microsoft broke European laws and they were fined almost 15 billion dollars....Volkswagen broke American laws and they were fined 18 billion dollars.. Facebook broke British ,American and European laws and they are currently under probe or fined.......apple,Amazon,Google and Facebook are currently under probe for breaking anti-competitive laws of America and they are currently under probe by same DoJ that is suing onyema

xelly:
Will you do that to Apple for breaching data agreements? Onyema is from Nigeria and we will stand to defend him. He does no wrong per our law.

u really don't know much about current affairs,do u?.....

If DoJ could. probe world's biggest companies (apple,Google,Amazon and Facebook) ,who is onyema?


the fact that money was laundered by onyema automatically broke naija law and American law

just imagine if it was a northern states that did this to Christians.......


how come we Christians aren't crying Christianisation' of UNN but cry Islamisation when northernerws do something similar


I hate hypocrites

freedom of worship is still a right

Olominira:
Which law is that? Almighty US power doesn't reach China side, why should US government dictate who Chinese companies should sell equipment to? That's bully. Countries with wise leaders are beginning to break away from US command. Just imagine, US would threaten any country that wants to buy things other from them. The same US would create a list of military hardware that some countries cannot buy yet sanctions them when they decide to buy same product from Russia. The hypocrisy of US is the biggest on earth.

I have said it, since the day of P&ID, anyone doing business with the western companies should be very careful. These people have laws in place to cheat people who are not their own. Any country that wants to develop must be very careful in dealing with the west. They did it to Japan in the 90s that almost crumble their economy, Chinese, Iran, North Korea and many other developing countries are also facing the battle.

Huawei broke Americans law in America...their CFO acted as a spie

persius555:
Just waiting to see FGs posture on this matter. Me, i doubt if the president will be willing to stake his reputation for Chief Allen Onyema. Though, i wish he would because, these days we have very little achievements to talk about. As for Canada, anywhere America Go, Dem Go Go.
We should defend our own, the way they protect their own.

so we should defend corrupt people??....na wao.

this mentality is why we are where we are........it's really weird that Nigerians are supporting thieves

Olominira:
It would interest you to know that Canada is paying heavily for arresting Huawei CFO. China import a lot of pork and other agric produce from the US, Canada, Brazil and others but today, both US and Canadian producers are paying heavily for the trade war while Brazil, France are enjoying huge exports of these produce to China.

Fr. Prime Minister May also made the mistake for arresting Iranian oil tanker following US order, UK suffered for it until Johnson came on board and released the ship. US is a big guy that bully everyone around. Canada, UK and others are actually nothing but puppets that US controls as she wishes

such a naive comment....us export to China is 60 billion,china export to USA is 200 billion...who will suffer if trade war btw the 2 nations continue??..Huawei CFO broke American rules and was arrested by Canada,cos of the international agreements with. canada

just look at how young Nigerians are defending corruption on social media...... ironically,the poor Nigerians are defending the rich Nigerians that aren't pure.


oyema knew the rules before the saga,why break it?

Nyamiri:
Just for a minute imagine Ize Iyamu supported by Oshiomole and backed by federal might. Just imagine that.

Maybe you need Dickson, Dino and Wada to explain better to you.

they told u Dickson lost because of federal might?..where was federal might when APC lost presidential election to PDP in Edo and also lost most NASS seats to pdp

GDP rose because of border closure(which lead to increase in industrial sector)...not because of oil

J4JUVENTUS:
Bro,Kogi was also anti Yahaya Bello ,until they (Apc/Fg) did what they needed to do to put that FOOL back there.... They will still use same strategy on Edo.. Just Watch!

Edo is not kogi mu brother.....APC lost most of the last elections to PDP in Edo despite oshiomole being APC chairman...PDP won some seats in oshiomile's region.

the truth remains that oshiomole is only popular in Edo North..Edo south and central gulp 80 percent of voters
