It's not his responsibility. You need to understand the difference between responsibility and morality. Just because he has ancestral roots in Nigeria does not connote to investing in Nigeria. It doesn't work that way.

Yet you cannot even counter with any point ... go back to sticking your head in your a$$ ... Putin just did the same to Trump
Even his friends at FNN agreed the Trump was Putin's boy at Helsinki ...

There is a spirit called the spirit of excellence which is associated with every Nigerians irrespective of where we find ourselves anywhere in the world. Despite all the challenges we faced as a nation, we have remained tenacious, resilient and break the norms. Adebayo Ogunlesi may not ring a bell in Nigeria like that of Dangote, Adenuga etc but in the UK, he is an icon, a trailblazer in the aviation industry, he is seen someone who broke the jinx and brought the world's second largest airport, The Gatwick Airport and also he bought 4 more all in the UK. Ogunlesi is a man who doesn't believe in making noise or a media freak, he is someone who lets his work speaks for him.

As Nigeria is planning to have its national carrier in December, Nigeria Air, what about we having someone like Adebayo Ogunlesi to help remodel our airport as he was able to transform the Gatwick Airport into a world-class business and tourist airport especially Muritala Muhammed Internation Airport in Lagos.

Here are some facts about him...

Adebayo "Bayo" O. Ogunlesi (born December 20, 1953) is a Nigerian-born lawyer and investment banker. Ogunlesi is currently Chairman and Managing Partner at the private equity firm, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP).

Ogunlesi is from Makun, Sagamu, Ogun State in Nigeria. He is the son of Theophilus O. Ogunlesi, the first Nigerian professor of medicine at the University of Ibadan. His family is of Yoruba origin.

The same man that Donald Trump fired https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/08/breaking-trump-sacks-nigerias-ogunlesi-adviser/

Fact remains that Donald J Trump thinks the Nigeria/Africa is a shithole... one can argue that DJT is correct by saying that but the point is that he thinks Nigeria is a shithole and so what he said in the beginning of this video was just "appeasing his intended targets"

That's not a "fact". Donald Trump dissolved (not sacked) the board because majority of the members were leaving due to his perceived racial biases and comments. The first to leave was the CEO of Merck Pharmaceuticals. After which, others, one by one, began to tender their resignation letters.

Oritzy:
This is a Product of hard-work and grace.

God I no want too much
A flourishing business A house and two cars 1 for wife and 1 for myself
These I pray thee. Amen

Amen may God grant this you ask and more of it in Jesus Name.

Does it change the fact that DJT thinks the Nigeria is a shithole?? Does Dr. Adebayo Ogunlesi even live in Nigeria or have any sizable investments in Nigeria? DJT had him as an advisor NOT because of Nigeria but for Ogunlesi business acumen in the US and the UK. DJT thinks Nigeria is a shithole - period

His wife is a british optometrist and Dr. Amelia Quist-Ogunlesi by name and not the Adenike Ogunlesi of Ruff n Tumble.

It does not change the fact that Donald never sacked Ogunlesi.

Developer indeed.. I see his 4 airport at Mowe Ibafo, and 2 more close to Ota farm. Keep deceiving yasef. This one has forgotten he is from Ogun state.

Caseless:
Name checked! This is what we call a developer.

Clap for yourself ... DJT still thinks Nigeria is a shithole .... Ogunlesi also has ZERO investments in the shithole ... maybe that's why DJT likes him over the other true Nigerian based billionaires

No, you are the silly one, for expecting a man who has found success doing business in corruption-free and well-run countries to waste his time dealing with an impoverished, corruption-riddled sh*thole like Nigeria, where everybody from the bosses in Abuja to the neighborhood gatemen will be hassling him for "dash" or making some other selfish, unreasonable demands. If you want highly talented businessmen to make investments in Nigeria, stop expecting them to respond to your ridiculous appeals to sentiment, and make your country a more attractive place to invest instead!
