OKADA Air is Nigeria's first private airline (1983-1997), owned by Sir Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin Kingdom. The airline began charter operations in September 1983, featuring the Queen Idia mask as its official logo. Okada Air operated in 9 local airports in Nigeria.

During its operation, Okada Air was one of the largest independent airlines in Africa. In 1992, Okada Air was granted the right to operate international flights. At one point, it operated the Boeing 747-100 on ad-hoc charter flights across the globe, including flights across the Pacific Ocean. They also transported pilgrims to the Holy Lands every year. Although the airline expanded its operations, it was eventually disestablished in 1997.

The successive Northern military dictators killed it. If Southern Nigerians knew what North has done to them, they will unite today and break away from Nigeria.
