THE 50 Most Powerful Men In The World 2009!!! by ohismuyiwa(m): 5:36am On Dec 30, 2008 |
50 MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD 2OO9 NAIRALANDERS, Newsweek published their list of the 50 most powerful people in the world. No surprise the new leader of the free world President Elect Barack Obama tops the list. I’m not going to lie I had to look some of these people up. Like Hu Jintao who according to Wiki is the “Paramount Leader of the Peoples Republic of China”. 4-5-6 which Newsweek dubs the “Economic Trimvirate” (What a Name!) consists of Ben Bernanke of the US. Federal Reserve; Jean-Claude Trichet of the European Central Bank (ECB); Masaaki Shirakawa of the Bank of Japan; and, to a lesser extent, counterparts in China, India, Brazil, Mexico and elsewhere. They say that that these individuals will be responsible for leading the world through this current world financial crisis. The Clintons come in at #14, while 7 years after 9/11 an uncapturedOsama Bin Ladenis #42 he even beats out Oprah at #47. PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE CAME #49! THE POPE AND ADEBOYE ARE THE ONLY TWO CHRISTIAN LEADERS.ITS A PRIDE FOR NIGERIANS. Take a look at this list. Like I said before your going to have to google some of these names THE LIST 1: Barack Obama 2: Hu Jintao 3: Nicolas Sarkozy 4-5-6: Economic Triumvirate 7: Gordon Brown 8: Angela Merkel 9: Vladimir Putin 10: Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud 11: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 12: Kim Jong Il 13-14: The Clintons 15: Timothy Geithner 16: Gen. David Petraeus 17: Sonia Gandhi 18: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva 19: Warren Buffett 20: Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani 21: Nuri al-Maliki 22-23: The Philanthropists 24: Nancy Pelosi 25: Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan 26: Mike Duke 27: Rahm Emanuel 28: Eric Schmidt 29: Jamie Dimon 30-31: Friends of Barack 32: Dominique Strauss-Kahn 33: Rex Tillerson 34: Steve Jobs 35: John Lasseter 36: Michael Bloomberg 37: Pope Benedict XVI 38: Katsuaki Watanabe 39: Rupert Murdoch 40: Jeff Bezos 41: Shahrukh Khan 42: Osama bin Laden 43: Hassan Nasrallah 44: Dr. Margaret Chan 45: Carlos Slim Helú 46: The Dalai Lama 47: Oprah Winfrey 48: Amr Khaled 49: E.

HASSAN Nasrallah is a prominent figure in Lebanese politics. Charismatic, highly intelligent, and deeply religious, his face appears on billboards, key chains, and screensavers; excerpts of his speeches are even used as cell phone ringtones. THE GUY STILL POPULAR SHAAA, XPECIALLY IN THE ARAB WORLD |

Nasrullah of course, He established the powerful Hizbullah challenging Israeli and Amarican Hegemony in the Mid-East. Hizbullah defeated Israeli Armies Twice in 2000 and 2006. with the presence of Hizbullah in Middle East even American state of department believe that a new order of Islam is finding its way to thrive in that bloc. A person that smashed down the American faces must be the great in the world. |

Re: THE 50 Most Powerful Men In The World 2009!!! by backspade(m): 7:46pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
#1 & 2 should be switched for obvious reasons, including the Dali Lama not being invited to the White House by Obama. . . |
Re: THE 50 Most Powerful Men In The World 2009!!! by Yoighaman(m): 3:52pm On Oct 28, 2009 |
simmy: A conscientious examination of the list reveals that it spans across divers sectors: Politics, Entertainment, Terrorism, Religion, Business, Technolgy, Finance, Islamic community, Military, Media e.t.c "Powerful" Men are regarded as people of great influence; the movers and shakers of their sectors. Pastor Adeboye is sure a powerful man in the context of religion not only in Nigeria but across the world. , personally; i expect TED TURNER's name to be on the list, he could make or mar anybody in the world with his media prowess, ( not discredting BLOOMBERG and RUPERT though), recall that OBAMA's victory could not have been complete without him, Cheers. |

Is Oprah Winfrey a man? |
Re: THE 50 Most Powerful Men In The World 2009!!! by violent(m): 10:48am On Apr 10, 2011 |
The term Powerful is relative in this case For some, the office they occupy weilds a lot of power, for others, they are mostly influential figures and lack real powers! If being Influential is synonym to being powerful then i don't see any reason why Adeboye couldn't be on the list. . . .The man could influence thousands of Nigerians and African alike with a few statements, something the combination of most political colossus will never be able to achieve. All that asides, WTF is Micheal Bloomberg doing on the list? Besides being a Mayor and being a successful businessman, what sorts of major powers does he wield? |
Re: THE 50 Most Powerful Men In The World 2009!!! by cdoffx(m): 3:28pm On Apr 11, 2011 |
