Influential US magazine Foreign Policy (FP) has released its inaugural list of 500 most powerful people on the planet,
and three Nigerians made the cut.
Goodluck Jonathan, Aliko
Dangote and William Kumuyi, made it into the list of what the
magazine called the 0.000007 percent.
The names mentioned on the FP Power Map include presidents,business men, politicians, clerics,
military commanders, and even terrorists.
The magazine however did not describe in detail the level of influence wielded by the
individuals on the list.
In a short explanatory note, the magazine wrote:

“Is it possible to identify the 500 most powerful individuals on the
planet — one in 14 million?
That’s what we tried to do with the inaugural FP Power Map, our
inventory of the people who control the commanding heights
of the industries that run the world, from politics to high finance, media to energy, warfare to religion. Think of it as
a list of all the most important other lists. Here’s how they stack
up — and why (sorry, declinists!)
Americans are still No. 1 in pretty much everything that matters.
For now.

“Where possible, we took a “list of lists” approach, consulting the
authoritative rankings for a given industry and substituting judgment where quantitative
assessments do not exist. Among our sources: Box Office Mojo Yearly Box
