“If you’re earning N200k in Nigeria you’re better than those making £2k in UK” – Allen Onyema spills
The CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema has narrated how earning an average man’s salary in Nigeria is better than foreign countries.
According to the businessman, an individual who earns a N200,000 salary in a month in the country is by far, better than those earning £2,000 [N3.5 million] in the United Kingdom.
Allen Onyema made this bold claim while appearing as a guest on TVC’s Breakfast show on Wednesday, where he shared his two cents on the economic crisis and strength of the Naira.
Hr supposedly agreed that the bulk of the naira depreciation issue is “artificial” as he believes that the Nigerian naira has more value than is being projected when compared to other foreign currencies.
Onyema 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. The person earning two hundred thousand Naira in Nigeria is better.”
Speaking further and standing by his assertion about shat N200k could do, he said a Nigerian working class individual can, with that same amount, afford a maid, a driver and other domestic staff.

Let’s take a look at some of the comments…
mumzy_mides; Na lie ooooo😂😂😂make una no listen to him 🙌🙌🙌 all their children are schooling abroad and moreover he’s already rich
akorayday; He’s got a point but the Maid and Driver won’t have dignity in their labour. They will live in poverty and their offspring might be a nuisance to the society so the poverty circle and mentality continues…..The secret of a wealthy and dynamic economy is a strong middle class where there’s dignity in Labour then pay your fair share of taxes. After doing Duty and expect your Rights.
neffier02; Poor analysis sir, currently how much is the local flight ✈️ in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is it included for the 200k earner’s , quality medical bill is also included in your 200k I will stop here for now now please the elites should stop lying to theirselves and to Nigerians as well.
You guys will always exclude all the benefits abroad people get from their government because you want to lie and deceive us we will all leave the country for you guys to govern yourselves by God’s grace, abroad is great in ramification. Peace of mind is very costly in Nigeria.
Good food is very expensive in Nigeria. No job for an ordinary citizen. No good medication and no good hospital. No good transport system and the list is too long ooo Chief rephrase your talk
xin_nightwolf; Why won’t you say that.. it’s funny how the elite class .. the rich ones are the ones who’s gonna tell us how 200k will get you a maid and a driver? Bro you can’t even eat and transport yourself to work for a month!
