Really Nigerians have got brains, I mean the igbos, Yorubas, hausas and all the other tribes. Our problem is just tribalism
Let's get rid of hate for one another and move forward. Let us get rid of our pessimism. God bless Nigeria.

It is Ogunlesi not Ogunlensi.

Secondly, he is Ijebu from Ogun state, not Ondo state. His father is Professor Ogunlesi, the first Nigerian professor of medicine.

As for Trump and the Republicans, they have a penchant for assembling capitalist gurus, that in turn wreck the solid economy already achieved by the Democrats.

Bush made sure he wrecked the economy he inherited from Clinton. Obama cleaned up the mess of Bush, now a Republican Trump has come to inherit a stable democrat engineered economy.

How do the Republicans wreck the economy?
They invite all their capitalist friends to run the country, who as a matter of first priority, erase all forms of government regulations in their own respective business sectors. Bluntly put, they are in power to see how best to grow their own businesses. They continue to take all manner of greedy risks, even if they have to bet against America.

They quickly cut taxes for the wealthiest of the wealthy, claiming such increase in disposable income would be reinvested in the economy by creating more jobs.When the charade falls apart, they run back to beg for government bailout with tax payers funds, while still flying about in chartered flights living an illusion called American Dream.
The average Joe remains average.

Time will tell if Trump will wreck it in typical Republican fashion, while the short memory Americans run back to the Democrats for succour in a cycle that never changes.

Well articulated and on point...These are the kind of intellectual responses I like reading.

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.

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

He is setting up his economic team before his swearing in as President. Whereas PMB set up his team one year after his swearing in. And you are wondering why the economy went into recession.

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.

The man is the head of a private equity that's own several properties amongst which is Gatwick.I know when that "He owned Gatwick news went around".He does not exclusively own Gatwick and I have no doubt that he has a stake in It.

Thanks a great deal about the analysis.The best i have seen on nairaland IMO.This has been my reason for being against the republicans.You also forgot to mention the moral and religious card they play before the elections.They win elections and wreck the us economy subsequently cos a lot of people have short memories and people are now too lazy to do research on anything
