COVID-19 Air Peace provides food items for hundreds of less privileged in Makoko, Ajegunle, Lagos

Air Peace on Friday, April 17,2020, distributed food items to many less privileged families in different areas in Sabo Makoko in Yaba and Ajegunle areas of Lagos to help in cushioning the effect of the restriction order as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The airline’s officials gave out bags of rice, cartons of noodles and loaves of bread to hundreds of people whose sources of livelihood have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 lockdown aimed at curtailing the spread of the pandemic that has stifled the global economy.

The Chairman, Air Peace, Mr. Allen Onyema, who was on hand to help in the distribution stated that the airline is aware that the current lockdown has made it very difficult for many Nigerians to eke out a living as they are compelled by government directive to stay at home, so as to curtail the spread of Coronavirus.

He said that the initiative to give out food items was inspired by the need to provide succour to the less privileged many of whom survive on daily earning from their work but can no longer work due to the stay at home policy.

“What we have done is our own way of touching the lives of the people directly. That’s why we came to Makoko, which is populated by very indigent people. When we leave here now, we are going to Ajegunle. We are providing them bags of rice and cartons of noodles. This large turnout of people is a witness to the fact that there is hunger. We cannot leave the care for the people to government alone. The private sector must be involved in this. If you have two million naira in your house, use N200,000 to help people around you. If you have one million, use N100,000 to help people. We are living in extraordinary times.

“One way or another, let us take positives from the Coronavirus situation. Now, people have discovered that wealth is nothing because you cannot take this money to your grave. So you must do anything you can to touch the lives of people around you. My happiness will not be complete if people around me do not benefit from my prosperity,” Onyema said.

Elated by Air Peace good gestures, the Bale of Okira Olayeni located in Ajegunle, Chief Taiwo Hassan Olayeni, thanked the company and said that this is the kind of people expect from corporate organisations and expressed gratitude to the airline.

“I am very happy that the company came to our area to feed us. We have been expecting this gesture from corporate organisations for over three weeks now. I am very happy for Air Peace and I pray that God will continue to prosper the company. This is a very happy thing for me. I am so happy that they selected my community to benefit from their good gesture so I don’t know how I can thank the company. But I know that God will continue to prosper Air Peace and those that will benefit from the company’s kindness,” he said.

I take it you're an IPOBian


Nwanne nwedata iwe gi.

God bless Mr Allen onyema

It's very true like my friends said. The igbo that causing problem and instigating tribalism on nairaland are the one that living in their region.

Ajegunle and makoko is a igbo dominated area. Hardly you will see other tribe there. The Yoruba that living there are coordinated and very rich.

Finally airpeace belong to Nigerians and of course federal government property managing by Onyema time shall tell.

Waltonz:
Same people that tried to destroy him after he rescued them from SA. Same afonjas tried to destroy Innoson. Afonjas, stop this your evil and wickedness...I say stop it!

Good move...

better than donating cash to the govt to be looted.

check out what we do below

God bless Allen Onyema.

Other well to do Nigerians should also imitate him.

LOKM,

Commendable...it's better to render assistance directly to the people in need of it than donating millions of Naira into FG's which will be nowhere to be found at the end of the day.

God bless Airpeace Management for this kind gesture..Raw Original Honey is readily available for you.kindly 081 0166 6771 let's talk about it now..No hug or handshake dx period fam.

this is far better than giving the money to rich looters who are never tired of stealing from the poor.

Air peace have done more than Buhari and APC....

Igbos dominate that area bro

Good move by air peace. To my eastern brothers and my western neighbours that want to bring tribalism into the thread pls y'all should gather one place so that the thunder that will fire 2 of u will be conserved and more direct. And the thunder will not be confused. Which one is ajegunle is dominated by igbo. So there is no hausa,ibibio,yoruba,e.t.c living their. Even the baale of the area commended him.

This man is really doing great work in Nigeria

This is commendable, don't give money to the government when u can give to the poor yourself.

What is happening right now is that Karma is
dealing with the earth it's now our obligation to do good to our fellow men, leave the corrupt and bad people this pandemic/karma is doing its job let them continue in their evil ways they are not wiser than God

Some idiots would tribalize this thread like it is only a single tribe that live in Lagos

Okay

When are they coming to Alimosho, so many niggas here are dying of hunger

God bless them

Nice gesture

We all know the mission...By Next or Upper election Baba go contest for one big political post


Well sir thanks for the gesture
