Nigerian Businessman, Adebayo Ogunlesi, Buys Gatwick Airport in London

This story called to mind Muhammad Ali marveling at the fact that the last leg of his flight to Congo was with black pilots.

"He was thrilled," Dundee said. "And happy. He said, "Come here, Angelo, and go to where the pilots are.
That's my people - they're flying the plane.' He spent the whole flight going back and forth between his seat and the cockpit."

I wonder what Ali would say about an African-owned airport [update: a commentator has pointed that Mr. Ogunlesi is a major partner in a company that now owns Gatwick. It is, therefore, imprecise to say "Africa-owned." GI] in London? But I also wonder if black capitalism solves any of the pressing problems of the global African community?
