Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has come to the defense of Air Peace's decision to use the Igbo traditional attire, Isi Agu, as its cabin crew uniform for its London routes.

Air Peace's cabin crew members wore Isi Agu during the inaugural direct flight from Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, to Gatwick Airport, London, on March 30.

The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some Nigerians criticizing the airline, suggesting that its decision showed a lack of patriotism.

In response, Kanayo criticized the critics, stating that the airline made the right choice by adopting Igbo traditional attire.

In a video message shared via his Instagram page, which he captioned "Ndigbo are citizens of Nigeria by birth. Kudos to Allen Onyema of Air Peace, for the Isiagu uniform , as identity on its London route. If you are threatened by the ISHIAGU or RED CAP of Ndigbo, open your own airline"

In the video, Kanayo said: “I just watched a video of Barr. Allen Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace, explaining why the Isi Agu was adopted as their cabin crew uniform for the London route of Air Peace because somebody complained, ‘Why Isi Agu?’

“Why not Isi Agu? Should it have been a buba and iro or agbada and everyone would be happy? Anytime anything good comes to the Igbo, people bring in hate speech. We must stop this. It doesn’t get us anywhere. That is the identity adopted by Air Peace and it should be respected.

“Allen Onyema and his brother, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, have done more for the airline industry than the Nigerian nation has done. They should be commended, not vilified.”
