A video of Allen Onyeama, the Chairman/CEO of Air Peace Limited doing some domestic chores himself has emerged on social media.
The video was shared by Nigerian football star, Segun Odegbami on his X and Facebook accounts on Saturday, May 11.
In the video, Onyema could be heard saying: “I’m doing it for myself — I love it. I like taking care of my stuff.”
Odegbami said that despite Onyema's ability to outsource the house chores, the entrepreneur decided to carry out the household chores himself.
Odegbami wrote: “Allen Onyema - caught in the act. He is a gentleman to the core, a humanist, a patriot, a successful businessman and an uncommon philanthropist. It is the midnight hour. Ben Adeyileka (the former acting director-general, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA), and I are alone with him in a Lagos apartment - no stewards, no house helps, no servants. Just the 3 of us in conversation and sharing the communion of food ordered from a nearby restaurant.
“We do everything ourselves - bring out plates and cutleries, serve the food, fetch the drinks, clear the mess after, and even trash the litter.
It is fun to behave again like bachelors. At a point, I watch him closely. He cuts an interesting picture. I must capture it for posterity.”
The 1980 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner continued: “I pick up my phone and take what must be the shortest and rarest pictures of the great man as he dusts, clears, and cleans the dining table by himself.
I am thinking. How can such a great and wealthy man be so simple and humble at the same time? “Pictures do not lie. Here is Allen Onyema, Chairman of one of Africa’s largest and fast-growing airlines, Air Peace, caught in the act of simplicity and humility”.
