The CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyeoma has said that those who earn two hundred thousand Naira monthly salary in Nigeria are better off than those earning two thousand pounds in the United Kingdom.
Speaking as a guest on TVC during a talkshow on ‘economic crisis and strength of the Naira,’ the Air Peace Boss agrees that the bulk of the issue is “artificia.”
Speaking he said: “Go to London, if you earn two thousand pounds a month in London, you’re a pauper. What two thousand pounds can afford you is like two thousand Naira and the person earning two hundred thousand Naira in Nigeria is better.”
Onyema went ahead to say that with earnings of 200,000, a Nigerian can afford a maid, a driver and other domestic staff.
Also he emphasized his complete belief that the Naira has more value than is being projected when compared to other foreign currencies, adding that Nigerians should stop demonetising the naira.
