Our judiciary lack conscience. You try our politicians by another law and give them 6 months for looting billions and try the common man by a law that sentences them to death for stealing a phone.

What they did was armed robbery with a deadly weapon, not just stealing a phone.
Whether or not the punishment is appropriate is another matter.

PM news from Lagos Island


This is GE official website kinfly read, it was published days before Ogunlesi and other senior executives were named to head GIP by Credit Suisse and GE

You are absolutely incapable of learning. Do you have a learning disability or perhaps something more serious?

post=123142854:

Keep fooling yourself educated illitrate

You wear your ignorance like a badge of honor. Senior olodo feeling funky.
You should cover your vacuous face in shame. I basically laugh at your Ignorance but you obviously have no shame. What a dunce.
Like a broken record he kept on repeating his jaundiced and extremely foolish arguments.

The OP, kettykings and all of you supporting him are extremely ignorant.
I am amazed you don't know how private equity firms work.
The two companies mentioned by the ignorant op were the first investors in GIP, today there are many others with assets over $80 billion under management.
Hate can truly make people stupid.

post=123142189:


Ogunlesi is an employee of GIP not the owner I believe you learnt, please from the fat salaries he is earning from GIP what's his investment in Yoruba land

An employee in a company he started and which he continues to manage? Well, you can put it that way if it makes you happy.
You indeed wear your ignorance like a badge of honor.

You are big time illiterate since this is so hard for you to understand

You are the illiterate. It is a waste of time engaging you in any sensible debate. Trolling is what you are doing not serious thinking of putting forward any reasonable thoughts for that matter.

shortgun:


You are the ignorant one here, founding a company doesn't make you the owner if shares of that company are offered and bought by investors.... buying and selling of shares in a company is transfer of ownership!

The real owners of a company are the shareholders.
You can't claim to be the owner of a company you've sold all your shares in even if you are the founder.

Do you understand or I should get a translator

Mumu, where did you hear he sold off his shares? Perhaps you secretly bought him out with the pennies you have in your piggy bank.

post=123138831:


Financial news London yes, it doesn't change the fact that he was appointed by Credit Suisse to head GIP

GIP clearly stated in its own website that he is a founding partner, does that mean anything to you?

post=123138070:

All the ignorant minds from West should take time and read London financial Times 2006 on GIP
https://www.fnlondon.com/articles/ogunlesi-to-head-credit-suisse-ge-infrastructure-fund-20060726

Your link is not Financial Times sir. This is from GIP's website.
You need to tell us who is lying between GIP and your Financial News London.

M4A1carbine:
To imagine...that within your circle you are looked upon as an intelligent person? Na wah!!!


I won't school you again...

@proeast, please don't reply this failure. Just let him dwell in Emilokan FOOLISHNESS..na wah...

This your statement is sophisticated foolishness..really sorry...spits

Even a naive is way smarter than this doofus.

proeast:


Stop getting unnecessarily emotional. When a lie is repeated severally it will begin to look like truth. Your brothers always brag about how a Yoruba man owns Gatwick airport. The op provided facts which proves that to be fake.

Firstly, when you own 51% equity in any company, you automatically become the majority shareholder. The other 49% equity becomes minority shareholder. How then did a minority shareholder become the owner?

Secondly, the minority shareholding group doesn't belong to one person, it comprises other investors as well. So, why all these lies?

did nothing wrong. He only enlightened people. I even believed the lies until he busted it now. Leave the messenger and focus on the message!

You are ignoring the fact that GIP initially held the majority shares. If you know anything about investment at this level you will understand why a company may increase or downgrade their equity in any investment. Nothing is written in stone, stop arguing like a drunk farm laborer.

M4A1carbine:
Why will I teach you...when

You guys claimed Ogunlesi is the owner of London Gatwick Airport please prove me wrong 🙏 very simple not running up and down, show me his stake

Who owns it? I can assure you there a reason they gave up the controlling shares in Gatwick by just 1%. Gatwick is not even the only airport owned by his company. What are you on about? Are you unhappy just because the man is Yoruba?

post=123136652:

He is not the owner of GIP empty bra.in, show me his stake in GIP and his investment in Nigeria

Show me Ogunlesi shares in GIP

I have shown you he is one of the founders. His share is irrelevant at this point. But we can reasonably assume that it is substantial based on the fact that he is one of the founders.

post=123135834:

Read ignorant mind

You are so freaking dumb. Like I said earlier, if you have a law firm wouldn't you have clients. Think of those investors as GIP clients.
Don't be stubbornly stupid.

MXrep:

Yorubas have been knocked out in the cooperate sector by Igbos long ago while still holding the informal trade for the middle-class economy.

With your shoe box spare parts businesses?

post=123135792:

You are sil.ly show me where he control the major shares in GIP

There are only two founding members. Perhaps you are the second one I can't really say. Vacuous bigot.

Throwback:


This fellow is even in more serious pains upon realizing that Ogunlesi owns 3 airports.

There are more assets than that.

MXrep:

I like how you said "one of the owners". Yorubas have never founded anything great. They buy small share and start claiming nonesense

He didn't buy shares, there are only two founding partners and he is one of them.

MXrep:


Ogunlesi should go and buy land and build airport from scratch

Very dumb proposition. This is like saying Warren Buffet should go and start building companies from scratch.
I think you folks should stick to your buying and selling. Free enterprise seems to be above your comprehension.

post=123135551:

Is Is not owner of GIP Is own by group of investors and GIP isn't the owner of London Gatwick Airport,

It is better to ask if you don't know something rather than make a fool of yourself. Think of GIP as a law chamber where you have founding partners and then later on admit others as partners based on their own experience and criteria.
GIP was founded by two partners of which Ogunlesi was one. They have investors and their own specialty is assets and infrastructures.
To say Ogunlesi is not the owner or one of the owners is simply stupid.

MXrep:

We only claim what we built from scratch. Yorubas are incapable of building anything from scratch. Once they emerge majority shareholders they start making noise only to kicked in the ass sooner than later

Mention those things you built that Yorubas has never built.
A lot of crap we are subjected to on nairaland.

MXrep:

Yorubas never built anything from scratch. Why?

Tell us what your father built that no Yoruba man has ever built.

M4A1carbine:
This one still get strong head for foolishness. Just imagine, the people that are Tinubu and Buhari supporters. Truly, you guys are truly shallow

No need to explain anything to you...

You are pathetic...spits

We are here to learn, educate me on what I got wrong or the wrong assertions that I made. Your retarded blustering doesn't gel with me.

post=123133946:

Ogunlesi is not the owner of GIP he is just the chairman, he was appointed by the costume of investors, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) was founded May 2006, the founder Matthew C. Harris .

Nonsense, he is one of the founders of the company. They manage more than $80 billion in assets. That is huge.

Dabronze:
For those that doesn't understand what is happening Russia and Ukraine are brote but the enemy is West/NATO, if Russia is being softie with Ukraine , Russia is just being a good protective and loving brother to Ukraine but don't ever mistake this as weakness

You can only know what Russia are capable of when Soltenbarg give other to NATO army to march in Donbass and Bekhemut and setup their missile's launcher their gain back the land for Ukraine .

Absolute nonsense, the type of brother who would level your cities and render them desolate. The type of brother who would fire rockets into apartment buildings killing everyone including women and children.
If you have a brother like this then you don't need any enemies.
Truth is, Putin miscalculated this time around and he is set to get seriously spanked.

sheriffindy:
Please just shut it


I mean just shut your mouth.

Who the fcu.k are you and why don't you go to hell?

Under no circumstances should you slap around a policeman.

Creeper:


Lol, that’s wishful thinking. Russia has already degraded almost everything Ukraine has militarily and its best troops. The only thing keeping Ukraine afloat is NATO.

And the reason why I cited nuclear weapons is because both sides (NATO and Russia) can’t afford to lose. Once it becomes more obvious Ukraine has fallen - I expect NATO to escalate to a place where Russia’s hand would be forced (despite the restraints it has shown thus far) - to do something big. So, never say never.

Afghanistan is different. That’s the country where empires are buried and no country can win a war there and hold it due to geography/terrain.

How is the "special military operation" going mate?

God1000:
Russia's debacle in Ukraine is glaring, where are the nigerian experts and Putin's supporters?

They are all hiding at the moment, shell shocked at the performance of their clay footed super power.
