i want to hear from you all it doesnt matter if you are nigerian or not. As far as you are african home or abroad, you are qualified to reply.
Pls give reasons for your answer.
Since africa cannot get better if we do not interact with each other, the leaders we chose should have made impact not only in his country but also on the continent.

i pick obasanjo. This is becos of his economic policies which yeilded positive results even though they criticized heavily. Critics will criticise anyway. But with the libralization of so many sectors, more jobs were created, more nigerians could talk to their fathers in the village, more nigerians gained moree exposure which is changing our outlook of life for the better. He helped bring back some of our brightest brains abroad who who have made their mark in the country. This had a psychological benefit for nigerians becos the technocrats he brought have become role models for many of us.

On the african scene, with the help of all other ecowas leaders, he was able to bring peace to liberia. A country that was torn apart by war, is now stable and moving on

the man was a sucess and i see him as the greatest.

Nelson Mandela.

Ojukwu . . .

GEJ. Don't ask me why please!

Gen. Chukwuemaka Ojukwu followed by Julius Nyerere

Thomas Sankara

Obafemi Awolowo by a thousand miles.

For me it is Ojukwu, and since he is dead then it is certainly OBJ. Without him there wont be any BB craze or cheap internet in 9ja today. Though he stole money just like other politicians, but he did well in many sectors of the economy...

In a continent where someone like OBJ is being touted as the best, you should know we have a long way to go. In total honesty, ALL BLACK AFRICAN LEADERS ARE THE SAME, THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT AND BOOTLICKERS.

To me it's Houphouet Boigny from Cote d'Ivoire. He was able to maintain peace in his country from 1960 till he died.
He was developing the country through agriculture and industry. Too bad, the greedy bastards that came after him could
not handle the country well.

Honestly, there is none. No African leader managed to do something worth remembering for their countries. Not even Mandela.
