A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love, Sex, and Life

No More Mr. Nice Guy is a 2003 self-help book by Dr. Robert A. Glover. He describes what he calls the “Nice guy Syndrome.” This syndrome is a condition in men who appear to be always nice and try to avoid conflict.

In the first part of the book, Dr. Robert Glover describes what a Nice Guy is and how these Nice Guys operate. Unfortunately for the Nice Guys, their approach to life will prevent them from reaching their goals. In fact, their approach is likely to do more damage than good.

Later in the book, Dr. Robert Glover delves into the nitty-gritty and shows us how to eliminate Nice Guy Syndrome. Subsequently, Robert offers a healthier solution.


Dr. Robert A. Glover’s Perspective
Dr. Glover is an internationally recognized authority on the so-called Nice Guy Syndrome. He is a frequent guest on radio talk shows and featured in numerous local and national publications.

Dr. Glover is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Washington. He works with individuals and couples to identify the symptoms of the Nice Guy Syndrome.

He leads therapy groups and seminars around the country and is the co-director of the Center for Healing and Recovery.

Not only that, but he has transformed thousands of “Nice Guys” from passive, bitter victims into empowered men. As well as personal changes, these men also undergo changes in their professional careers and intimate relationships.

Dr. Glover founded Total Personal Integration (TPI) University in 2012 to better help men and women put their intention into action.

Introduction

Do you avoid conflict and try to please others at all costs? Does the approval of others make you feel best? Are you trying to convince women that you’re different from other men? If so, you might be a Nice Guy. A Nice Guy believes being passive and pleasing others will make them happy. A Nice Guy struggles to get his needs met because he does his best to ignore them. This leads to a lot of resentment or rage.

StoryShot #1: Reclaim Your Personal Power and Masculinity

If you have Nice Guy Syndrome, it’s usually because you were forced to give up some of your personal power as a result of your childhood circumstances. You may have grown so used to making that sacrifice as an adult that you’ve locked yourself into a career or relationship that fulfills that expectation. But it may lead you to feeling frustrated, helpless, and resentful. You feel more out of control when you approach life with the coping techniques you developed as a child.

So, how can you reclaim your personal power?

For starters, when you have personal power, you believe you can deal with unpleasant situations. You recognize that you are human and that you experience fear from time to time, but you also believe in your ability to overcome obstacles on your own.

Being honest with yourself about your needs, weaknesses, and desires is an important part of reclaiming your personal power. You must become comfortable sharing your feelings and opinions. It’s fine if expressing these leads some people to leave you. Those who care about you will value your feelings and thoughts even if they disagree with them. Accept that you can’t influence or manage how others feel about you, and that you may experience rejection and criticism occasionally.

Reclaiming your masculinity goes hand in hand with reclaiming your personal power. To various men, being a man means different things, and it’s your responsibility to figure out what that means to you.

Embracing your masculinity entails forming strong bonds with other men and seeking a mentor, particularly if you don’t have a father. There’s no reason to feel bad about engaging in hobbies and connections that bring you joy.

StoryShot #2: Have Higher Standards and Don’t Accept Second-Hand Behavior

If you are too nice to people, somebody will take advantage of you. Both men and women take advantage of guys who try to be amiable all the time. So, what do you do to stop this from happening? The answer is to have higher standards for how people should treat you.

For example, imagine you’re with a group of friends. One of these friends makes a joke about you, and everyone starts laughing. Banter is a natural part of male friendship groups, so it is normal. Consider if your friend kept making jokes about you every time you saw each other. In this case, these jokes have gone from being lighthearted and fun to outright disrespectful. At this time, it is time to say something to him about it.

So, to stop being too nice, you have to set high standards for yourself and others’ behaviors. If the girl you like is always playing hard to get, you need to know your limit. If she persistently falls below your high standards, you should cut her off immediately. Apply these standards to all areas of your life. Never tolerate any behavior that crosses the line or disrespects you.


StoryShot #3: Speak With Conviction

One of the fastest ways to tell if a man is too nice is to pay close attention to how he says something. A man who’s too nice tends to speak with little conviction or with no personality. He wants to avoid hurting your feelings or any conflicts, so he will say what you want to hear instead of what he really believes.

Speaking with conviction is a powerful way of demonstrating to other people that you know what you want. It also shows that you’re confident in what you say. So, when someone asks you something, make sure that your words show your conviction. It will be easier for the person on the other end of the conversation to listen and understand your point of view.

If you want to speak with conviction, here are the four things you need to control:

1. Keep your voice at an even volume.

2. Keep it at a steady pace.

3. Avoid shouting.

4. Don’t talk over people.


StoryShot #4: Stop Agreeing So Much

Agreeing with someone is an easy thing to do. We all do it subconsciously, but every so often, it isn’t the most helpful thing for your wellbeing. Studies show that people perceive those who always agree with others as less intelligent and less confident.

If you’re the man who always agrees with people, simply practice disagreeing with other people on purpose. You can start that by disagreeing with people about little things. For example, if you enjoyed a movie and your friend didn’t, you should challenge them and try to understand why they think it was disappointing. Ask them what points they were disappointed by and come up with counter-arguments to the points you disagree with.


StoryShot #5: Tracking Your Good Deeds Leads to Resentment and Anger

Tracking your good deeds is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. This can be one of the most significant sources of frustration for nice men.

Nice Guys will do something pleasant for someone, especially girls, and then keep track of that deed. This deed is one of the hundreds of other nice things they have done for people. Nice Guys will then secretly expect something in return. The attractive girl that a Nice Guy is trying to impress is not keeping track of these deeds.

Tracking good deeds can be the cause of many problems for Nice Men. Anger is a common emotion associated with giving good deeds without people reciprocating. It is also common for Nice Guys to start to resent those who do not repay their good deeds. This feeling of being indebted is not healthy and will only lead to negative emotions. Dr. Glover does not recommend you avoid good deeds. Do a good deed and then move on. You can enjoy the good deed at that moment, but you should not look back and use that as evidence for being indebted.


Give without expecting something in return.


StoryShot #6: Don’t Hold Back

Nice Guys hold back despite their urge to say something. The foundation of this is that Nice Guys find conflict and people not liking them scary. They also dislike showing who they are to people. So, they filter their thoughts and keep quiet when they want to say something.

Holding back is a massive problem because avoiding expression and your true self will mean others will never actually know who you are.

A man who doesn’t hold back is much more of a man than one who is afraid to rock the boat. Fewer people might like the man who doesn’t hold back, but they will like him for whom he really is.

If you want to say something, then say it. If you want to do something, then do it. Don’t be afraid of what others will think of you, and don’t let this fear hold you back from simply being you.


StoryShot #7: Stop Fearing Confrontation

Many guys allow girls, and other men, to walk all over them. They allow others to verbally control and dominate them because they are so scared of confrontation. Imagine a bully in school who picks on a smaller child because he’s skinny and weak. What if, one day, the kid finally stands up to him and fights back? The bully in school constantly searches for the easiest targets. The skinny child in school is weaker and will likely be targeted. Being courageous enough to stand up to the bully will put them off. This courage makes this child a slightly more challenging target. The bully will move on to another Nice Guy.

Once you start embracing confrontation, you will realize it’s not that scary at all. Even if it’s something as simple as not agreeing with other people’s opinions, you are confronting fear.

Embracing confrontation will make you feel more like a man than ever. Each time you engage in confrontation, you will build your confidence in who you are. Not to mention, you are making yourself a more attractive man overall.


StoryShot #8: Make Your Needs a Priority

Realize that only you are responsible for meeting your needs. Stop blaming and start acting. Be assertive about your needs, and get rid of any hidden agendas.

Never be a wimp and never act like a victim. It helps if you are thankful for difficult situations. These circumstances are the ones that present a chance to grow as a person and learn for future circumstances.

Express your feelings, face your fears, set boundaries, and develop integrity. Don’t try to control uncontrollable things. Some circumstances will be too challenging or time-consuming to control, so you must be willing to walk away from circumstances and people. Don’t try to make an unhealthy relationship work. End it and find somebody more suitable for you.

StoryShot #9: The Importance of Boundaries

The common theme throughout this book is the importance of boundaries. If you are a recovering Nice Guy, this might be the most critical factor for you. Boundaries are particularly relevant when considering your relationships with women.

Nice Guys often believe that not having boundaries, being overly tolerant, and accepting everything their partner does is a beneficial strategy for a relationship. Nice Guys often learn the hard way that this isn’t true.

You will need boundaries to strengthen the relationship. It is a need for you and your partner that can strengthen the relationship for both sides. Boundaries equal respect, and women desire a partner who sets boundaries. So, incorporating boundaries into your life will create personal respect and improve your chances of developing a healthy romantic relationship.

StoryShot #10: Choose a Partner Who Doesn’t Need Considerable Support

Dr. Robert Glover provides multiple tips on romantic relationships in this book. These tips cover the categories of sexuality and women.

Robert recommends you focus on the relationship, not the partner. Ask yourself: How does the relationship meet my needs? Is the relationship healthy? Can we learn from the struggles we encounter together? (NEEDS WORK) Use your boundaries to stop your partner from engaging in undesirable patterns of behavior.

One of the common mistakes made by Nice Guys is to choose a partner who needs considerable support. These partners often need help and want somebody to fix their lives for them. Nice Guys are attracted to problems and want to fix their partners. These relationships will allow him to show the world what a good boyfriend or husband he is. The motivation behind this is always the approval of others. Suppose you have been in an unhealthy relationship. In that case, you will know that this often stems from one partner seeking the approval of others.


StoryShot #11: Choosing the Right Sex Mindset

When it comes to sex, you will also have to change your mindset. This is easier said than done, but using the following guidelines can help you re-orient back to the best approach. Use these tips to improve your chances of becoming an integrated male:

1. Get rid of shame and fear about being sexual.

2. Get your needs met: quantity and quality.

3. Get comfortable being pleasured and ask for it.

4. Never avoid conflict because you are scared to lose a sexual opportunity.

5. Get rid of porn.

No More Mr Nice Guy Final Summary and Review

Glover’s premise is that childhood and society have conditioned Nice Guys to act the way they do. They have been told that they will only be successful if they make everyone happy and don’t produce conflict. That said, this desire for approval results in self-loathing. In other words, nice guys want approval but don’t think they deserve it. This creates internal frustration since nice guys never try to obtain what they want in life.

The Nice Guy’s desire to obtain approval from everyone (especially women) can cause him to behave in unnice ways. These behaviors include dishonesty (about themselves) and passive-aggressive behavior (being unavailable, forgetting, being late, or not following through).

Dr. Glover’s prescription involves encouraging Nice Guys to recognize that their needs and desires are essential. To make others happy, they must first learn to make themselves happy. One of the best ways to seek happiness is to learn to embrace and develop your masculine traits instead of fearing and suppressing them.

No More Mr Nice Guy Quotes

“Self-respect, courage, and integrity look good on a man.”

― Robert A. Glover #nomoremrniceguy



“List one fear that has been controlling your life. Once you decide to confront the fear, begin repeating to yourself, “I can handle it. No matter what happens, I will handle it.” Keep repeating this mantra until you take action and stop feeling fear.” – Dr. Robert Glover

"In general people are not drawn to perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and an individual’s life energy. Humans connect with humans. Hiding one’s humanity and trying to project an image of perfection makes a person vague, slippery, lifeless, and uninteresting.” – Dr. Robert Glover

Idiko1:
The bolded is one of the idiotic statements read on Nairaland. Why UN instead of the study conducted by UniIbadan or UniLag or UNN? I ask why Ibadan has not been claimed as being developed by one goofy and loudmouthed Yoruba peep?

SAVE THIS COMMENT, Ibadan is developing very fast now with good road network and it is third in industrial development after Lagos and Abeokuta .

Ten years to this time it will be the next Lagos because a lot of people are migrating there, the reason why it is still low key is because Ibadan is very big. it is a state on it own and it as big as entire Anambra state so the developments is taking a while longer to spread around.

Sirheny007:
Wasn't it a Yoruba Paedohile who was jailed in the UK for 3years and 9months?

He wasn't Yoruba , he was an Edo man

MadarasBlade:
You can troll all you want but you know it's the truth i am saying, we come to Lagos and after some few years own properties.
You've had an head start for years and still have nothing to show for it.

Lazy set of men who wait for their father to die just to inherit his properties, omo una no work.

still better than your Osu generation in every sectors, what if we now decided to be hard working ?

5starMan:
Only people who don't know how much his people hate Easterners will be be surprised....
They hate us because they know we are greater than them on free world arena. Nigeria is giving them a little push.

free world arena ?

You are really delusional , in the UK and US typical free world arena can you really claimed you are as successful as Yoruba ?

Yoruba are top government officials in UK and US and also the richest africans

So Afenifere should sponsor Tinubu and Arewa should sponsor Atiku too according to this tribal Eze idiot?

PointZerom:
This can only be described as the tantrums of a spoon fed child.

And your own post can be described as the rambling of a delusional nonentity.

How are you feeding Yoruba when most of you are the one making your living across South west? How can your businesses survive in the west if Yoruba people are too poor to afford whatever you sell? We are the one feeding you by patronizing your businesses not the other way round.

If every Igbo pack their businesses and move back to the East, Yoruba can easily adapt by looking for any other traders or alternative to fill the void or start doing the businesses themselves which will even create more Jobs for Yoruba, but you guys will suffer the brunts because of the customers and markets you will lose that's not available in the East. Your IQ is probably too low to Understand

Naijanascam:
And they are still reasonable to themselves and the society.... many of them own most of the houses you posted while you are a loiterer sleeping under bridge pooing and bathing inside gutter with numerous girlfriends in all Parks around Lagos..... lagosian with eczema

So many delusional Flatron here.

Which house do you own in South west? Most of the houses in Lagos and west belong to Igbo and some of you still went online and complained that Yoruba people are tribalistic and don't allow Igbo tenants or rent their houses to Igbo? Most of you Nyamirin actually live in lala land, making ridiculous and fallacious claims. You own most of the houses in Lagos and Yoruba still own most of the real Estates in Lagos, you own most of the properties in Lagos and the west and your women still dominate the brothels across South west and many Igbo still pushes wheel barrows and hawk snacks in traffic, hawking men boxers and belt and fan yogo, something you should be able to do in the East easily if it is not barren. You are really delusional

PointZerom:
Igbos are far ahead of you and your tribe. You depend on Igbos for survival. Your mechanics, carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, engineers, tillers etc depends on Igbos for daily bread.

Are you not ashamed that Igbos are feeding you even in your region?

Stop being delusional, typing hogwash doesn't make it true. How are you feeding Yoruba?

It is the other way round, you are the one trooping out of the East to the west like the East is Barren and War torn.

How are you feeding Yoruba people lol? without Yoruba Patronizing your 4 by 4 shops and businesses across Yoruba land most of you would have been out of businesses and starved to dealth. We have the money to patronize your businesses across South west that's why most of you are still in the west and still coming Yoruba are the one feeding you and far above you.

successmatters:
Tinubu built Lagos

Our 1 trillion naira IGR couldn't buy us one single fire truck.

Even Abia state without IGR have fire trucks in every local government.

Sad.

You are the real enemy of Lagos

Always trying to politicize every negative
that happened in Lagos, who told you Lagos don't have fire trucks?

So the fire truck will disappear to the location after every fire? May whatever you wish Lagos happen to you and your Lineage, rejoicing over others calamities.

Only Nairaland or social media gives this man relevance he is just a nonentity in Yoruba land, A typical Yoruba Muslims don't even know who he is

ObosiUkwalla:

Start saying it to Lagosians face in Lagos if you are not a Coward like Ojuwku and see if you won’t be send to the great beyond like those three dead Alaba traders.

You can hide behind your phone like Ojuwku hid in bunker during Biafra war to say trash online.

ObosiUkwalla:
Bla bla bla... Still doesn't change the fact that Lagos is a no man's land. Try anyhow see anyhow

Like those three dead Alaba traders

Try anyhow see anyhow, the joke is on you.

You cowards call Lagos a no man's Land online, but I have never seen you say it offline, start saying it offline in Lagos if your generation are not cowards like Ojuwku

Innocentman86:

Everytime spreading fake news and wishing follow nigerians bad and death.
I have never seen such a tribe before in my life.
After sending opc to killl and burn innocent Northerners alive, they have turned to Edo state.
But just know that ss/se will resist any klilling of Edo indigenes

You rate yourselves too much

A typical Yoruba on the street may not be able to point to Edo on the map and call you Igbo

Zorn:
funny enough lots of his employees are yorubas and kogi people.

Funny enough you are talking as if he have other alternatives

We all know Yoruba have the highest numbers of professionals in this country, he can't do without the Yoruba if he want to run a successful business.

Only an Idiot would insist Tinubu is from Osun state

Idiots from the land of the rising Fools


Inferiority complex makes them want to measure dicks with their masters always

Tell him to go to Osogbo and see many Anambra indigenes pushing wheel barrow in Osogbo

Osun state is not that bad like he wanted to portray, in fact Osun is safer than Anambra

Anambra generated 30 billion as IGR in 2022, Osun alone generated 21 billion naira.


This is Osun state

[quote author= post=118021046]Osun is backward Nnewi alone is more economically viable than Osun as a state[/quote]Lol look at your big mouth, Anambra is the definition of backwardness

Osun alone generated 21 billion naira as IGR in 2022, Anambra could only generate 30 billion naira

How is Nnewi alone more economically viable than Osun?

[quote author= post=118020435]Anambra state home state of Peter Obi [/quote]Osun home state of Bola Tinubu

[quote author= post=118020435]Anambra state home state of Peter Obi [/quote]Osun state home state of Tinubu

[quote author= post=118019729]Tinubu is from Osun the current governor of Osun is Tinubu's cousin, Tinubu recommended Aregbsola who governed Osun for 8yrs I wonder they couldn't turn Tinubu's state to be like Lagos since Tinubu made Lagos[/quote]Every states in Nigeria have brown roofs, even Anambra

These are pictures of Osun state, go to Osogbo and see Anambra indigene pushing wheelbarrows

Don't start what you can't finish

is it your region? when will you black baboons learn to keep to your own affairs........what is your own if Ndigbo are starving! take your dick measuring fantasy to mushin and ajegunle....we do not care if you generate 100 gazillion naira....take your hatred elsewhere!

Shameless Pig like you

You are the one talking trash about Lagos generating 750 billion when your who region couldn't even generate 10% of that

I will keep blowing it in your face

ebufa:
you wey generate mega billions .....how far for lagos? second worst city to live in ,in the entire universe!! Lagos generated 750 billion naira...approximately 1 billion dollars.......that is what one town Noblesville Indiana generated in private investment in one calendar year! a town of 95,000 people o! let us not talk of american cities or even universities! your shame dey shame me! I have always said it that root problem of Nigeria is the ill intent of afonjas towards Ndigbo............thats what keeps dem awake at night!

You are very Shameless

You are critizising Lagos for generating 750 billion so what should we now say about your whole region that can't beat Ogun state in IGR ? It must be a very barren and wretched place

Onyi90:
And what did the money transform in Lagos. Only those that reside in Lagos will understand that it's a mere paper statistics, with nothing to show in Lagos. Is it the garbage or dirtiness, insecurity, bad roads etc

It depends on where you live in Lagos

If your area in Lagos is dirty and full of garbage don't blame the Government, you are humans not Pigs so why is your habitat always dirty?

When it come to bad roads you have a point, but insecurity? Even London is not safe, you can be stab during the day.

Bunkbars:
With bad road network, poor drainage system. Poor health care, High insecurity rate.

Haba lagos, should be like London, if govt is willing to work.

Don't let the big figure in Naira fool you

Lagos hardly generate 2 billion dollars in a year, they are actually doing decent with the resources

LegendHero:
You are the dummy here.

If Lagos can generate 700billion+ in one year, then the state can afford to borrow 350bn in a budget year so far we can see what they are doing with it.

Even America with their trillion still dey borrow let alone small Lagos.

Anambra I guess do not even generate up to 120billion per year but Soludo already borrowed over 100billion within few months. But you guys are always fixated on Lagos.

120 billion is too much, in the last Igr statistics Anambra hardly generated 35 billion naira, and Soludo borrowed 100 billion naira. The next governor of Anambra will hardly be able to execute any project if Anambra don't improve their IGR.

Anambra can not generate 30 billion in a year but soludo borrowed 100 billion without any uproar, all these Nyamirin would be wailing over Lagos that generated almost 800 billion and want to borrow 350 billion naira.

How will soludo be able to repay the 100 billion he borrowed in a state that can not generate 40 billion annually? They are not concern about Anambra accruing the debt their next generation may not be able to pay but these bastards are all fixated on Lagos.

ZUBY77:
Why are all Nigerian first ladies very useless? Just bragging and buying clothes with iPhones.

No vision, which money did she donate ?

Someone gave birth ,you just went there to open your teeth and snap pictures in the name of donating money. I go to motherless babies regularly and no pictures yet

If we investigate I am very sure you must be an obedient zombie, typical of people like you always bitter and angry.

Air Peace CEO Onyema paid me $20,000 to facilitate $20m fraud – American
Ms Mayfield admitted in her court filing that she behaved “irrationally” by helping Air Peace CEO, Allen Onyema, to sign the fake documents to facilitate the $20 million bank fraud.

An American woman, who allegedly helped the founder of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, to facilitate a $20 million bank fraud, has admitted receiving $20,000 for her roles over a period of two years.

Ebony Mayfield pleaded guilty to the charge at the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, in Atlanta, on 29 June.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that following her guilty plea, the trial judge, Eleanor Ross, has fixed 28 October (Friday) for her sentencing.

A bartender and nightclub dancer, Ms Mayfield was engaged by Mr Onyema as a manager for his Atlanta, Gerogia-based Springfield Aviation Company LLC in 2016.

The company was purportedly set up “to specialise in the wholesaling, trading, and sale of commercial aircraft and parts”.

The US government says Ms Mayfield was engaged to enter into aviation-related contracts on behalf of Springfield Aviation, despite her lack of education, training, or licensing in the review and valuation of aircraft and aircraft components.

In her plea bargain in filed in June, she confessed to signing and submitting fake documents enabling a $20 million credit disbursement from Nigeria to US bank accounts, purportedly for Air Peace to buy five Boeing 737 passenger planes from Springfield Aviation.

Both Air Peace, a major Nigerian commercial airline, and the purported aircraft seller, Springfield Aviation, are owned by My Onyema.


Prosecutors alleged that the aircraft referenced in the letters of credit and other fake documents submitted with respect to the deal were already owned by Air Peace. None of them ever belonged to Springfield Aviation, the prosecution said.


Under the law she was charged, Ms Mayfield risks a maximum jail term of five years as her punishment, aside full restitution of the proceeds she derived from the alleged crime.

‘I received $20,000 for my irrational behaviour’
Ahead of the sentencing scheduled to come up on Friday, the woman has pleaded with the judge to sentence her to conditional release, instead of imprisonment.

Ms Mayfield admitted in her court filing submitted by her lawyer that she behaved irrationally by helping Mr Onyema to sign the fake documents, admitting that she received $20,000 over the two years period for the part she played in the scam.

“There is no doubt Ms. Mayfield knew right from wrong. She behaved irrationally in trying to help the co-defendants by signing false forms for their benefit.

“Over the period of the conspiracy, Ms. Mayfield was paid approximately $20,000 in total by the co-defendants to sign and file the paperwork at issue,” her lawyer, Manubir Arora, wrote in the document filed on 13 October.

She said her acts were “a tremendous aberration from the person she actually is”. But she said “makes no excuses for her poor decision making.”


She urged the judge to show mercy on her as she “tried to make amends for her actions by confessing to law enforcement when arrested, cooperating with federal authorities as the investigation continued, and finally, accepting responsibility”.

Alleged fraud
Between November 2016 and October 2017, prosecutors said, Mr Onyema applied for export letters of credit to cause the transfer of funds from a Nigerian bank account for Air Peace to Springfield Aviation’s bank account, “purportedly to fund the purchase of aircraft by Air Peace from Springfield Aviation”.


Springfield Aviation, according to court documents, was established by Mr Onyema in the U.S. State of Georgia in April 2016 purportedly to specialise in “the wholesaling, trading/ and sale of commercial aircraft and parts”.

Prosecutors say Mr Onyema and other conspirators submitted false documents, including fabricated purchase agreements, bills of sale, and valuation, purportedly to enable Air Peace to buy five Boeing 737 passenger planes from Springfield Aviation.

They also alleged that he founded and used Springfield Aviation “to facilitate large transfers of funds from his Nigerian bank accounts to the United States.”

He allegedly moved about $15 million from Springfield Aviation’s account with a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Atlanta, Georgia, to his personal savings account with the same bank in 27 transactions in 2017.

The flagged 27 transactions took place between 22 March and 29 November 2017.

Mr Onyema and Air Peace Limited’s Head of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghagha, are facing 36 charges at the District Court in Atlanta, in connection with the alleged $20 million fraudulent scheme.

Among the charges preferred against them are bank fraud, credit application fraud and money laundering.

Each of the flagged 27 online transfers carried out by Mr Onyema within nine months in 2017 involved values ranging from $100,000 to $1 million.

The transactions totalled $15.14 million.

Each of the 27 transactions stands alone as a charge of money laundering.


Under the money laundering charges, prosecutors alleged that both Messrs Onyema and Eghagha, aided and abetted by others, “attempted to engage in a monetary transaction” involving a financial institution, with effect on “interstate and foreign commerce”.



They alleged that each of the transactions involved more than $10,000 “criminally derived from unlawful activities” including bank fraud and credit application fraud.

In November 2020, the government of the state of Georgia dissolved Springfield Aviation over its failure to file its annual registration and/or failure to maintain a registered agent or registered office in this state.

Mr Onyema denied all the allegations of fraud levelled against him when the charges against him were unveiled by the US government in 2019.

Although he said the charges did not reflect his personality as a business owner, he and his co-defendant have yet to appear in court.
