The list isn't complete without our very own Baba One Chance.

Lol una no go kill person. Buhari hasn't been sworn in yet and i have noticed we have already given him a catch phrase "one chance". If am not mistaken are you saying "one chance"is to Buhari as "clueless" is to Jonathan? Lol.

Macias Nguema

Macias Nguema was the son of a witch
doctor. Nguema was the first president of
Guinea. Though not as brutal as some other
dictators, he managed to do some of the
weirdest crimes out there. Some of his
crimes include stalking his mistresses’
former lovers. Other crimes he committed
were intellectual murder by killing the
intellectuals of his country. According to
reports , more than a third of Equatorial
Guinea’s population had to flee to other
countries to escape his brutal reign. It was
also reported that he ordered execution of
entire families and villages, during the time
of his reign, the country had neither a
development plan nor proper accounting
system for government funds. Macias
Nguema trusted no one, he spent most of
his time in his ancestral village of Mongomo,
where he kept the national treasury right
under his bed or in suitcases in his hut, but
on the 18th of August in 1979, he met his
end by his own nephew who sentenced him
to death. His nephew Teodoro Obiang
Nguema is still in power to this day.

Said Barre

Siad Barre was a man who seized power
and stayed in power from October 21 1969
to January 26 1991. He adopted socialism
to the so called needs of Somalia. His
influences came from countries such as
China and Russia. Though he attempted a
lot of good, Barre committed a significant
amount of human rights violations such as
jailing dissidents. Barre was also very well
known for using his power to remove all
opposition or people who just didn’t like.
Barre died in political exile in 1995, but was
returned to Somalia for burial in his home
region.

Omar Al-Bashir

Omar Al-bashir is a more recent case of
dictators. His biggest call to fame was in
March 4 2009 when he was issued an arrest
warrant. Omar has been charged with seven
crimes against humanity. Omar planned to
commit genocide against several ethnic
groups such as the Massalit and Zaghawa
groups, Omar is regarded by many today as
one of the worst dictators of Africa.

Hissene Habre

Hissene Habre is one of dictators that didn’t
do too much, but still is a dictator. His rise
to power was from Libya invading Chad.
Habre and his troops defeated Libyan troops
and sent them packing in November 1981.
However, many human rights groups hold
Habre responsible for killing thousands of
people. These killings include massacres
against Hadjerai, and Zaghawa. The Human
Rights watch charged him with authorizing
the murders of tends of thousands of
humans and torturing them while under his
rule.

General Idi Amin Dada

Ever seen that 1981 movie titled “Rise and
Fall of Idi Amin ” or 1976 “Raid on Entebee“?
– Kind of brings back some old memories,
what about “The Last King of
Scotland” (2006) that earned Forest
Whitaker Academy awards best actor, these
movies are based on the events of the brutal
Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Idi Amin is
someone that doesn’t need too much
introduction, he is one of the worst dictators
of the last 20th century, also known as the
“Butcher of Uganda”. This 6 feet 4 inches
tall Ugandan boxing champion made the
highest rank possible for a Black African
serving in the British Army. This man
committed some unbelievable brutality that
only modern day Mexican drug cartels would
touch, It is belived that at least 300,000
people were killed during his regime. He was
born some time in the mid 1920s in Koboko
Uganda and died in August 18 2003. This
butcher left his mark on the world by using
his infamous killer squads to murder his
opponents and their families. He showed no
mercy to anyone. The scariest thing about
Amin was his ability to change from a
gentleman to an incredibly angry person
with no provocation. Amin is some that has
been described as erratic, unpredictable and
outspoken. After the United Kingdom broke
off all diplomatic relations with his regime in
1977, Amin declared he had defeated the
British and conferred on himself this full title:
“His Excellency, President for Life,
Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin
Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the
Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the
Seas and Conqueror of the British
Empire in Africa in General and Uganda
in Particular”

Rogert Mugabe is probably the last lion that will roar for Africa. how can you be truly independent if your colonial masters still run 2/3 of the main national Income earner (farming), and they employ black farmers. can any one of u allow a stranger who enters you home(by force or with ur consent) to be controlling critical affairs of your home and lord over u and your family- would you still honestly claim to be the owner of the home it is important to note that befor he carried out the plan of chasing the farmers, he had petitioned the UK govt to dialogue over the issue and after delaying and promising for years they told him in no clear terms to **** himself... i like for u to imagine, u have a problem in ur home and instead of u immediately getting rid of the problem, u reach out to others for help, they BS u, what would u do....




Exactly!! People should read history and don't just believe the term expressed by "BBC or CNN"..in the Nigeria of today, we see Americans like god, any political differences we are going to america to report ourselves or we either see ICC as our mediator, we have now become their puppet. As small as Ghana is, they maintain their integrity not to talk of zimbabwian, that is why nigeria will continue to have political crisis until we become independent. The white are never happy that nigerians are united, they just want to fulfill their national interest, bet me nigeria is a threat to the world if we stand united, we remain the voice of the black nation in the world, so they don't want that happening. Ask yourself this question "why was shekau included as one of the most influential in the world and not "bin laden", how did bokohoram manage to wire their e-transfer fund from america -iran - yemen - Niger- Nigeria? Why did they block GEJ administration from acquiring sophisticated weapon to fight bokoharam if not for their greatest foe "russia? With their master class surveyance satellite monitoring every country in the world, can you tell me they don't know the where about of the chibok girls and shekau if he still exist though? When they easily survey the where about of osama bin ladin! A report last week by CNN claimed 50 chibok girls were seen in gwoza with their surveyance equipment, the question is, if you see them, why not rescue them? Nigerians should wake up and know who is the real enemy!

Your arguments and classification holds no water as they are mental propositions and fabrications not empirically supported and not justiciable. There are no references to these summaries you have put up here.

The difference is that while most of those characters mentioned were "lone-rangers", Jonathan achieved this particular feat in company of his PDP cohorts.

Correct me if wrong...Jonathan has to be included because his actions and inactions are felt in present times and easily a candidate of past African leaders with dictatorial tendencies.

i absolutely agree with all u have said... a united black race/country is what they dont want, they need us more than we need them, all they have now are their policies, where do they get minerals/natural resources, vast agriculture and a sizeable emerging labour force from?

America will not interfere with any issue(national or domestic) they do not have an interest/stake in (clinton himself said this during the hutu/tutsi genocide war of rwanda. other presidents have said same. its call modern/modernized slavery. you have the feeling that you are independent, but in reality u are not so long as they interfere in ur affairs.

mugabe(a true fighter) challenged the UN at their conference saying: the US and enitre UN has expressed dislike and displeasure with the manner the US ambassador to Libya was killed tragically, but the previous year, they was a barbaric death of a UN member and African head of state- Ghadaffi, why was the manner of death not also condemned. many might no know that the US pressured the UN to give it authority to enter libya under the pretense of a peace keeping mission, after which they started throwing bombs and ghadaffi was killed. bombs are not to be used during peace keeping- but during war. Ghadaffi was no saint, just like clinton and bush are not, but he decided not to followed the west but uplift his people(maybe a little to late). do ur research, infra-structurally, libya supersedes naija.

look once an african leader is doing the bidding of the west, that leader would be praised even if he commits murder, but once he doesnt not do their bidding, he would be painted black and heinous crimes would be accredited to him .
