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.

1. Making a Lot of Money
The overall individual audit rate may only be about one in 170 returns, but the odds increase as your income goes up (especially if you have business income). 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? There's a one-in-31 chance your return will be audited

The US economy and regulatory system is designed to flag and investigate anyone who makes a large single purchase, especially if it's not purchased with credit by the US creditor.

This is a short summary

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.

My opinion

Whether it's politicians, or businessmen, the ignorance we have of the US system while also wanting to participate in business with the US is dangerous. The United States is a very litigious, harsh country and ignorance of the law does not excuse a person in court. If you're going to engage in business with a country, know the laws, culture and mentality on the ground.

I do believe race and origin (Africa) played a role because almost everyone in the United States does not believe there are wealthy people in Africa. They don't believe it, and they don't want to believe it. So, while all large transactions are flagged in the US, ones from African or Black hands are particularly flagged.

The US has a long, difficult history with racism and when engaging with Americans, Nigerians can no longer be comfortable with fairy tale assumptions that you're dealing with someone that doesn't have a potentially malicious attitude towards you simply for being black and an Africa. We may even add Nigerian as Americans are not learning that Africa has different countries.

Nigerians enter the world assuming all evil exists in Africa and all good comes from non-Africans. Because of this we are ill-equip, mentally, to do business with anyone outside of Africa and we're constantly caught by surprise when they show malice or ill intent. I don't know if there was bad intent in the Onyema situation. As a fact, I do know that this is regular protocol. But I can safely assume that Onyema thought Americans would be happy to see him spend money in their country, as most naive Nigerians world.


Word of advice. The world is a world in competition. You cannot operate at a global level, assuming that the only people that don't want you to do well are the people in your village.

Do not forget that Jaja of Opobo was detroned, arrested, exiled, and poisoned by the British, for trying to buy British boats.

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.

U know your region have the largest group of mentally unstable people in Nigeria.

That explains ur constant and repetitive nuisance display on every thread about the good people of the SE.

I suppose you don't watch the home videos portraying the culture of the south east to know that one of the prominent features of the South East represented in those videos are mad people.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

You are very right. The way they see it, someone that owns an airline can move goods and weapons over boarders and thus has real power. You can also fly over zones they have blocked off for surveillance due to their illegal activity. Boats and airplanes are equalizers

What they will do next is pressure the Nigerian Federal Government to destroy Air Peace internally. In 3 years someone, on this board will ask 'why doesn't nigeria have an airline', and blame it on 'black brain' and 'bad government'.

This is why we study history...though most of Nigeria has chosen not to.

Stay focused, my friend. You are now digressing. The moment you inject ethnic nationalism, you lose credibility.
American system is essentially about encouraging a level field for all. 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!

SalamRushdie:
Nonsense !!! The US govt is not after Onyema because he made large purchases , infact they were aware from the onset that he had brought 20 million dollars into an American bank to buy an aircraft because he submitted a copy of his LC to them, the problem is that instead of using the money to buy the plane he now disbursed it it to various other account and that was were he breached their anti money laundering laws ...

He did not say they are after him because he made a large purchase, he only said large purchase can be something that alert the IRS over your activities and lead to further investigations

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?
