Gatwick Airport in London, which is not that far from Heathrow Airport also in London, England is owned by Nigerian businessman Adebayo Ogunlesi.

This is not true

Global Infrastructure Partners under the control of adebayo ogunlesi bought majority shares in Gatwick Airport.. so adebayo ogunlesi is not the owner of gatwick airport but GIP in partnership with American International Group owns Gatwick Airport

Number 5 isn't a fact but a lie
Nigeria wasn't coined from "Niger - area" but was coined by the Brits before Lugard. Nigeria was coined from "Nigger (black) area"

You too want to prove as if you know things. If someone said you couldn't write when you were two years, does it mean you still can't write now?
Because Flora was a girlfriend of Lugard at the time of giving name, would that preclude or forbid her from ever become Lugard s wife later?
Get yourself right, Flora née Shawn was the wife of Lord Frederick Lugard!
I Dont get ur argument,she was part of a press corp to cover the British activities in d west African region ,mind u lugard had a wife and family back home, she was at d most official side chick,nothing more,of u have facts where it states they officially married pls let us see it,moreover d name Nigeria (niggar area) had been in use long before flora shaw come to d picture, hers was just an official naming ceremony. There r a lot of distorted facts being thrown around,so I understand ur confusion and misunderstanding

You won't stop to cover your Ignorant arrogance!
The funny thing is that you cannot and never produce that wife that Lugard married and kept in his village!

Are you pained? Investments are made through firms and not on one's name.
Check Dangote, Adenuga etc, and its always through firms established for the purpose.

Anybody can write anything on wikipedia (even you)
Its not a good resource tool for learning
Nigeria isn't coined by Flora Shaw as Niger-area but Nigger area in the 18th century. Go and study your history.
Before Lugard, Nigeria was formerly known as Negro-land.

Obviously you don't realise what giving of examples got to do with any subject or issue as well.
