In today’s world, the line of manhood and fatherhood is being blurred by a lot of thing but in biblical context, the position of man is clear and Bible isn’t in tune or tandem with modern concept such as feminism and single parenthood. The Bible has made it clear the function and role of a man in the church, society family and this is a standard procedure that every male folk that calls himself a husband must follow – religiously

A man must meet up to the the needs of the family . A man that can’t provide for his family is worst that an infidel… So we have to be guided as a man. Husband is the Head of the family… That is a clear instruction in the Bible. For a husband to be in charge of wife the way Christ is in charge of church. The role of a husband isn’t contestable in the family. Though some folks that are on the feminist side might see this position as mysogionistic but that is the role of a man.

As a man we ought to know our responsibilities and be able to fulfil it. The role of a man puts tremendous responsibility on the shoulders as a man. Don’t let any man or pastor tell you that the woman is the Co-head. This is the position. Now that you got married as a woman, are you bearing your father’s name? This is a global norm and that means that you are under a man. This is just the fact.

Most of times the roles of men are being blurred based on so many factors and that can be understandable but we must know that the man has his own bespoke position and defined power in the family. It is a crazy woman that questions many decision of the man. Men naturally apply wisdom before they do things.

Many homes in today’s world are in disarray due to the way media has made it look cool and nice being a single mother. The departure of fathers in the home always have adverse effects on the woman and the family.

But, men must understand that being the head of family and whom the decision making process rest on shouldn’t make him a dictator or a tyrant. He must understand that he must carry everyone along and keep them abreast in his decision making process… He must also know that he isn’t meant to be a dictator but a loving father.

A man must know that he must be there for the kids and the family. You must be a provider of things not only emotional, financial or social, you must also be there as a psychological support. The role is massive and huge.

Men must know that a woman is the helpmate or assistant to the raising of kids and family. But there is a caveat here, the Man must be up and doing and have something doing not laying about thinking that the woman will fill-in the gaps. Who does that! Being a man isn’t a day’s job that is a popular cliche and that is a truism. Not shouting “I am the man”

In 1st Timothy 8 the Bible said the role of the man and there is also a responsibility of a man to train the kids. You don’t sire kids like chicken and expect relatives to take care of children. It is the function of the man to take care of the children and don’t ever expect your rich uncles or relatives to take care of the kids. Man up and live up to your responsibilities.

The responsibility of the man is clear. Now the children are doing exams and the Christmas is coming it is the responsibility of the man to provide holidays and happiness for them, so why not take care and born the kids that you can take care of not during 20 kids in the name of looking for a son.

Though, the media is trying everything to blur marriage and make singlehood and single parents attractive but we must know that it is not what God want from us as a Christian. God designed it as a family which is made up of a man and a woman. This is the standard not singlehood or LGTB family.

The attention of Air Peace has been drawn to the orchestrated attacks on Air Peace in the social media.
Those doing this are advertising their ignorance of how airfare pricing is done.

It has become a pastime for our fellow brothers from the South East to attack Allen Onyema and Air Peace for their selfish ends.

We do not discriminate against South East. It is the same fare that is loaded for all the routes all over Nigeria.

Our fares start from N23,000. It progresses from there to N60,000 which is our highest economy class fare. For an aircraft that carries 136 passengers(12 business class and 124 economy) the fare is allocated as follows: N23,000 – 10seats; N27,500 – 20 seats; N30,000 – 25seats; N33,000- 15seats, N35,000 – 15seats; N42,000 – 10 seats; N47,000- 5seats; N50,000 – 5seats, N55,000 – 5seats and N60,000 – 14seats.

The above fares are loaded in the system for all the destinations- North, East, South and West. No discrimination. If the first 10 seats of N23,000 fare finishes, the system will automatically start showing the next fare which is N27,500. If the allocated seats on this finishes, it will migrate to the next until it gets to the last 14 seats which is N60,000.

So what happens is that as it is getting fuller, the higher fares would be showing up. Now, the Eastern routes, because of traffic, gets sold out faster than some places thereby showing higher fares faster but the other destinations, though slower, will also pay the same higher fares as they get fuller too.

It is highly mischievous of anyone to be accusing Allen Onyema and Air Peace of discrimination. It has become a pastime for people to try to make themselves popular by attacking Air Peace. They will never get that popularity but will surely reap notoriety for their deliberate falsehood.

These promoters of falsehood and evil published to the public a fare of N95,000 to Owerri and published another fare of Kano showing N35,000 for the same date. This is very misleading.

The N95,000 fare is
is not our economy fare but our business class fare. It is very mischievous for anyone to deliberately bring out our highest business class fare for Owerri and juxtapose it against a Kano economy class fare selling at that time, thereby making the unsuspecting reader to think that the Owerri passenger is paying N95,000 for the same class of ticket the Kano person was paying N35,000 for. This is wickedness. Why are our people this way?

Our fares are the cheapest in Nigeria for our type of aircraft.

We believe some of these people are paid to erroneously believe that they can run us down. We populate flights to the south east in order to help them and all we get in return is this devilish attacks, envy and unbridled jealousy against their own.

Even for Christmas season, we do not increase fares. The N60,000 economy ticket is there all year. During the Xmas time, you y empty planes back to lagos from the South East, yet we kept to our all year round economy fare of N60,000.

In order to cause mischief, the promoters of hate state that we favour the north. How could this be true? No government in the South East pays Air Peace a kobo to operate in the region but some Northern states pay for about 70% of the seats covering up to a year to encourage us to operate in their states. We still charge the passengers.

Let our people not hide their envy, jealousy and devilish competition under the pretext of ticket fares. What God Almighty has ordained, no one can change, in Jesus name, amen.

If you see people destroying our systems or beating our staff in any airport in this country, whether North or South, there is 99% chance they are our people!

Is it a crime to come on board at a time there were lack of adequate flights in the region and provided several flights for our people, making transportation easier for them?

Is it a crime to give over 2000 ndi Igbo well paid jobs in an industry they were not adequately found in before Air Peace arrived? Let anyone show us any company employing this number of Ibos in the entire world earning the kind of salaries we pay. No government in Nigeria pays the kind of wages these people earn.

For those who think that they will destroy Air Peace and thereby bring down Allen Onyema, may God forgive them. If only they know that Allen didn’t establish the airline to enrich himself but to provide jobs to the teeming masses of unemployed people, they would hide their faces in shame.

It is equally a delusion for anyone to think that only our people fly.

It is also the pastime now for those who seek cheap social media popularity to use the name Allen Onyema or Air Peace. Allen Onyema has been accused of saying things he never said.

Ndigbo please let us change our ways.

We had a heavy bird strike out of Owerri that destroyed one of the engines as the aircraft was climbing out of Owerri recently. The pilot succeeded in diverting the aircraft to Port Harcourt without any incident. Thanks to God. However, an Igbo brother did a video announcing that Air Peace crashed(God forbid) but that he survived !

As seen on Fred Chukwuelobe ‘s wall;

The Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu on behalf of the Federal government has expressed satisfaction that the commitment to the development of quality infrastructure in the country is now manifesting and yielding positive fruits.

Dr. Onu made this known when he said the Federal Government is fully committed to improving road transport infrastructure, improve the ease of doing business and creation of jobs and prosperity to lift people out of poverty, at the completion and handover of construction of Nnenwe – Uduma – Uburu road section i (26.27km) and section ii: Spur to Ishiagu – mile 2 road (14km) in Enugu/Ebonyi states on Thursday, 2nd December, 2021.

The Minister said the road which is 40.27 Kilometres long is a critical component of the national road network, adding that the road has been built to the highest quality of design and workmanship and if well used, it should last for the designed service life.

Dr. Onu urged users of the road to be mindful of practices that may lead to the degradation, abuse and non-safe usage of the road, as well as report to relevant authorities when non-civil use occurs, he said; “Road abuse takes many forms such as overloading of vehicles and trucks which accelerates pavement damage, spilling of petroleum products, which dissolves all the components and allows water to penetrate, and converting the road shoulders to permanent parking places, that brings the onset of road failure from the shoulder”.

Dr. Onu saluted MSME’s whom he described as the heart of the Nigerian economy and drivers of economic growth, he said; “The road is also a story of the capacity of our people. The patriotic Nigerians who were employed directly to build this road, the scores of suppliers employed indirectly who are responsible for providing the machines utilized in the construction.

These are not only nation builders to whom we offer our salutations, they are the heart of the Nigerian economy, the micro, small and medium enterprises that drive our economic growth”.

Dr. Onu further said that the road is also a statement of economic efficiency and ease of doing business. According to him, the road is part of many roads to prosperity because reduced journey time means reduced expense on travel.

Earlier, the Hon Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, who was ably represented by the Director Federal Highway South /E, Engr Bola Aganaba in his remarks said that these projects and many more have been commissioned in various parts of the Country, he added that they represent major investment in road transport infrastructure, which is a major commitment of the Buhari led administration as a driver for economic growth and prosperity.

In a good will message by the governor of Enugu State Rt Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who was also ably represented by the State commissioner of works and infrastructure, Engr. Gregory Nnaji, commended the developmental efforts of the Federal government and pledged the support of his government to partner with the FG to deliver on the dividends of democracy to his people.

He urged the benefiting communities to protect the critical infrastructure as it has become their responsibility to guard.

There was something different about the lawyers I met at the Court of Appeal today. Though I’ve met some of these lawyers in other courts, today at the magnificent Ilorin Complex, they all looked different. They were more smartly dressed, carried themselves with so much grace, spoke so beautifully and presented their cases in very organized manner.

At the end of our case, I jokingly told my senior that perhaps why some lawyers struggle at lower courts is due to the poor state of our courtrooms. Of course studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between the state of our physical office environment and efficiency/productivity. And so, when you see a lawyer scratching his head to find words, look around the courtroom to find out if there is anything capable of inspiring a great intellectual presentation.

The Ilorin Court Appeal is well furnished. The courtroom is neat, spacious, cool with proper lighting. It is not like some of our lower courtrooms that have dilapidated/pitiable facilities. Those ones that are complete eyesores. Some of them have the ability to make even the most eloquent lawyer stammer.

At one Area Court here in Ilorin, a Judge sat during proceedings with ordinary bathroom slippers. I had wanted to question this but looking at the court building, I understood why. If you were driving by the road and someone pointed at the court building and said it was a chicken pen, you wouldn’t doubt. How then was I to expect a Judge to put on his Christmas shoes in such facilities.

In summary, we need do better on the state of our courtrooms.
