Adebayo Ogunlesi, owner of Gatwick Airport

Adebayo Ogunlesi, chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners, said he is going "to make Gatwick a truly first class experience".
However he cautioned it would take "somewhere between 12 and 18 months" before passengers started noticing a difference at the airport.
GIP agreed a £1.51bn deal with Gatwick's current operator BAA last week, which represented a "good price", Mr Ogunlesi said.

He did a good job...I bet all the lazy haters in this thread cant even afford a bowl of rice..they are just too lazy scratching themselves and complaining about a black man doing something prosperous.

I wonder what most of these haters have accomplised in their own lives...

[TerrySoft]

Whether he owns it or not, he is the chairman of the consortium but it was never made mentioned of in the western media. Imagine me hearing of this now (June) when it happened early this year!

I'm not african...but its great to see, fellow successful blacks!

Why dosen't this man go back to Nigeria and sort out the problems in that country if he is that clever. Improving Gatwick airport is all good but what about Murutalla muhamed airport in Nigeria.

@cjarvie2007 don't hate, congratulate, why isn't a Black American running the company? they are just not capable,ignorance, is your downfall,you know absolutely NOTHING about Africa or Africans,you have been subjugated and brainwashed by the white man for years, so when you stumble across something like this, you whine because you realise that you have been deceived ,fwatch out dude,the economic decline of Europe will eventually be the downfall of the U.S and you will be left hanging

He's a great guy, because he's honest about his changes to the Airport, his views on it's current standingm and it's expansion. He's not up himself, or arrogant like most Airport bosses are.

@pirell Nigger please. STFU! Only African Americans are niggers and they happily call themselves niggers. African American cannot play any role to Pan Africanism. Don't you have welfare check to cash? Let the humble Africans prosper, you, moronic trash.

[TemplarX2]

@RobertsDigital Haha speaking the truth. I'm creole and probably has way more European blood than African Americans but I hate how they think they are better than pure Africans (because their ancestors were raped by whiteys) and never pay respect to their ancestral land. African Americans are whiners and fecking arrogant and not humble like Africans. Go Africa! Africa will rise one day. Pan Africanism. And look at this wanksta with his loose pants. Rap music sucks, African music rocks.
