BlackRock Inc. agreed to buy Adebayo Ogunlesi’s Global Infrastructure Partners for about $12.5 billion, vaulting the world’s biggest money manager into the top ranks of investors that make long-term bets on energy, transportation and digital infrastructure..

This is phenomenally huge! Congrats sir. You're truly peerless.
Sagamu is trying o. Haba! From Anthony Joshua now to Chief Adebayo Ogunlesi! Wow!! I am so proud of Sagamu joor. Proud of these great Nigerian exports to the world.

Chief Adebayo Ogunlesi goes for very audacious goals and gets it done. He is just too phenomenal and I nominate him to be conferred with a GCON national honour. He is following in the footsteps of late Lagos Island-born Chief Dehinde Fernandez.
God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Great man.

Great and inspiring, atleast to Government assistance or patronage except a conducive environment and laws for business. No CBN assistance in business transactions, just pure excellence.

Real omoluwabi. If we can dig very well, some Nigerians in diaspora are more richer than those we are parading up and down as being rich in this country. There are many silent billionaires in this country.

kase lawal. houston oil billionaire

The guy don port

Irony1:


Please with all due respect, you don't have any iota of shame. That money is in no way going to impact Nigeria whatsoever, the taxation on that acquisition will benefit the UK and not Nigeria, and most of all not even Yoruba land. Deinde Fernandez you are talking about didn't even impact yorubaland per se with his wealth moreso that he was buried abroad, Oga try and make something useful with your life and stop this praise singing.

He is a Yoruba man so Yoruba has benefitted already.

You go explain tire

For those that says Yoruba are not good in businesses, you are living in lala land

Yoruba are the best business managers, those that says they are good in business should show their billionaires in dollars not naira drug barons.

This guy is dominating the world and Oyibo bow to him as a top investment manager.

You need to know Mr Ogunlesi in person. You'd be wondering if he had anything at all. What comes out of his mouth are great ideas. I wonder why our leaders abandoned someone like him and always busy shopping for half-baked people to form our economic team. He was the only black and african in the trump's economic team as American president

Empty drums makes the loudest noise

You claim Louis Ojukwu was the richest man at Independence. Did his wealth even reach his children?
It was seized in Lagos and remains here.
Your rants are ignored. Our thing is ours. Your thing also is ours.

The WEF Great Reset is consolidating it's diabolical reach & control to ensure that "You own nothing but you will be happy!"

Congrats.
How much shares does he or his company have in Blackrock now or is it total takeover?
If it were me I wouldn't sell but I know the Whites will fight him with everything.
He is a gem to have stirred the GIP he started in 2006 or so to control finance portfolio of more than $100 billion.
Nigerians are doing great things.

He's a great guy...the only African in Trump's economic team when he was president of America

Adebayo Ogunlesi’s private jet
In Nigeria, the name Adebayo Ogunlesi does not ring a bell like the Dangotes, Adenugas, Otedolas, etc.

However, the man’s achievements in the global business circle – especially in the aviation sector – have been well celebrated around the world.

Adebayo Ogunlesi is a Nigerian lawyer and investment banker. He is referred to – especially in Nigerian circles – as “the man who bought Gatwick Airport”. Some also refer to him as the Nigerian who owns three airports in the United Kingdom.

In 2009, GIP also acquired the majority share in London Gatwick Airport.

Gatwick Airport, also known as London Gatwick, is a major international airport near Crawley, Sussex, England. GIP invested £1.455 billion in the deal making it the majority shareholder in the airport.

GIP also owns Edinburgh Airport, which they bought in 2012.

Edinburgh Airport is an airport located in the Ingliston area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was the busiest airport in Scotland in 2019, handling over 14.7 million engers. It was also the sixth-busiest airport in the United Kingdom by total engers in 2019.
