Congrats to him. I'm not surprised though. The day I got to know this man was (and still is)the owner of gatwick airport in UK, one of the busiest airports in Europe, I was amazed. We've really got a lot of silent, successful Nigerians out there, doing us proud. His wife is the owner of Ruff ''N'' Tumble, a famous kids' outfit in Nigeria.

Don't make mistakes bro. Trump's ideology is quite different. Trump is a technocrat and not a politician. He knows who to put where. Republicans never wanted him. The majority of them didn't even come out to fund his campaigns. They even revolted against him at some point, when they perceived he was becoming more popular amongst the Americans. They didn't have a choice, they would have manipulated his nomination. God just had his way. Trump is neither a republican nor democrat, even though he was more prominent in the democratic party years back. He's a businessman who knows how to play his games amongst the ruling party key decision makers. His appointing technocrats like him is a welcome development. I'm just happy for one thing...in every American administration, a Nigerian must make the list of advisers which also means that Nigeria is indeed a great nation to be reckoned with...regardless of our political and ethnic differences . I remember last year when Obama appointed a Nigerian, Adewale Adeyemo into a key position... Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs. Congrats to Ogunlesi

Long live my president ( muhammadu Buhari )

Look at how Yoruba's are rejoicing over an appointment that will have no influence over their lives.

Afonja and inferiority complex. *spits.

yeah thats if trump ever gets to occupy the office. obama has been signing dictatorial laws that hints at the fact that he is not going to leave office. quite frankly i dont think obama is leaving office. i know it sounds crazy. you know if a war or something crazy breaks out then the president does not have to vacate office ? yeah dats what looks like is about to happen. sounds crazy but

This is serious. Well let's see how it goes.

An ill composed piece that lacked all judgement and reason. What do you mean republican always republican always wreck the economic? U are only citing recent historical happenings. The US economy dipped because under Bush because of the wars which wasnt his doing but as a result of 9/11. Any US president at that time democrat or republican will go 4 d war. Also we have housing bubble caused by the wall street guys. Hillary and Obama are their friends. You didnt even mention brilliant republican president like Ronald Regan.

Let me tell you when it comes running economy Trump will do a far better job than Obama with his Obamacare and running US economy into serious debts. Can you mention how many times the debt ceiling was raised during Obama times or the whole US will have be ground to an halt.

MadamExcellency:
According to Buhari, they are all corrupt.


What a myopic president Nigerians voted for in 2015.

Every rich Nigerian is a potential target for EFCc fight against corruption.

Most rich capitalists may be corrupt but they are partners to drive most Government's economic plans hence need to be handled with caution.

One thing about socialism is that it needs capitalism to sustain itself. When wealth revolves through capitalism is when we will have enough to give to the poor (healthcare, free food, education etc.) through government agencies and charity organisations

Well you've spoken but you've not spoken well.

1st off, you forget Trump is not a politician so his adminstration is beyond party goals & ideologies.

2. Your judgment is clearly clouded and reeks of a biased product of CNN/Clinton brainwashing.

3. I wonder how you can't see beyond individual self interest when it's obvious they are there not to further enrich themselves, they're already the wealthiest, but to plan the economy like successful entrepreneurs. I don't blame you though, you're a Nigerian it's what you're used to in our govt.

4. Can't fathom why any one won't applaud this man's capacity to employ the best (wo)man for the job as clearly this is guaranteed to give the best result. Instead you're still busy campaigning for Clinton who has accepted her loss. In case you missed it even Romney is begging to join Trump's bandwagon.

5. Theses are only the Economic team, wait till he selects his Security and Diplomatic advisors. You neva che chum ching.

If only we could replicate this in Nigeria, I know Nigeria will be Giant again some day.

MONITZ:




Is he by chance related to the popular Ogunlesi family of Sagamu that had the likes of Mrs T. O. Ogunlesi who was the proprietress of the first private primary and nursery school in Nigeria which is Children's Home School, Ibadan??

If he is then I won't be surprised a bit because they re pacesetters in anything they do....

StOla:



So Obama appointed the worst for jobs?

Did you just imply the wealthy are already satisfied with their wealth? Eyaah! You are so naive. Maybe you should read up and watch the many documentaries of how such corporate titans wrecked the American and global economy in 2008. They had their pals in the Bush government who continued to provide the government absence that allowed them to do as they liked. Their government pals like these ones appointed, also had their stocks continue to rise but as insiders, knew when to cash out. When the bubble burst, the poor whose taxes were not reduced, paid for the excesses of the rich.
After the Bush regime, the government appointees simply went back to their private sector positions with applause from their capitalist constituency whose interest they had served.

They did not feel the heat of the global economic meltdown. The average Joe did. Now Trump has made the mistake of putting the same heartless calibre back in government, despite his non-partisan intentions, these wolves of Wall street only care about getting richer.

You must think these wealthy types are the conscientious ones like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, or Mark Zuckerberg?
These are hungry capitalist who seek to only grow and grow without recourse to the society or country.

fkdmods:


You do understand that he may be Nigerian by birth, but for all intent and purposes, he is now an American. He has torn up his Nigerian passport. How do i know he did? For you to work in a high level government position and if you are Naturalized, you have to have a secret clearance, and the only way to get that is to have a background check done on you. And part of the process is to bring your passport in and they physically shred it in front of you. If you decide to go get another one, better not let them know because it is a sure way of getting deported. Though it is rare. But one way or the other, you are royally phucked.

davidif:


Wait what?? see reasoning. What does this man's achievement have to do with me? Do i even know him or is he my family member? The way you Nigerians think sef, na wa o.

awelekiti:
Ethnic bigotry won't let you rest. Are you linking him with obj because he's yoruba? Was it nitel he bought or MM2? You need to tell us since you're 'Mr know all'. This man can count how many times he's been to Nigeria in his entire life. Have you read his profile at all? His worth will finance our annual budget for decades.

hmuhammad:
Correct, this news go pain biafrans well well.
