pastor ashimolowo is important because amyone that can direct or tell or advice in excess of 30,000 blacks of african/carribean origin how to vote and what to do in the uk is influential and he s known and controll more influence than alistair shoyode, the synagogue man pastor joshua is an influential nigerian too-even though he s got controversy round him for some reason,his church is massively growing and he has the largest amount of foreigners all round the western world in his congregation. gani fawehinmi henry okah-leader of mend millitants, albeit infamous sha, mujaideen dokubo-not too sure about his influence these days but he was all over the news till he got arrested emir of sokoto,kano,kaduna chief adedibu-either u agree with his methods or not |

OMO IBO: @omo ibo Olusola Saraki is a very influential man in Nigeria. His son, Bukola Saraki, is governor of Kwara State; his daughter, Gbemisola Saraki, is a federal Senator. Do you think this is just by coincidence ? |

Re: 100 Most Influential Nigerians by OsunAmazon: 4:40pm On May 17, 2008 |
@omo ibo It depends on the definition of influential because his feats sounds more like a kingpin. |
