Who Is Your Role Model?

Most of us have role models - people we look up to and will like to emulate in one way or the other.  Your role model might be:
- Someone in your family, for example your mother or father.
- A popular political figure, for example Bill Clinton or Saddan Hussein.
- A popular social figure like Mother Theresa, or Tai Solarin.
- A showbiz personality like Genevieve Nnaji or Liz Benson.
- A businessman like Dangote or Bill Gates.
- Someone else who projects an image of what you'd like to become.

So who is your role model?  Or do you have more than one?  Please, tell us!

Pastor Mrs Abimbola Odukoya.

Her ministry as a whole motivates me. She is a woman of integrity, honour, intelligence , beauty, high standard and power.

She motivates me that i can have a wonderful and intimate relationship with the opposite sex without "opening up my legs"

She motivates me that i can succeed, combining the role of a wife, mother and career woman.

I am quite encouraged by the humility and respect she has for her Husband - even though she's considered more popular than him.

Also, she has an excellent dress-sense and this motivates me as well.

Most importantly, she is a praying woman, a fighter and warrior -  i admire this a lot.

Dablessed. I love that woman while i was small in NIgeria. I forgot about her! Gosh i love her.

Well mine are: My dad, God, Oprah winfrey, Jennifer Lopez, Genevieve Nnaji, Late Mrs. Bimbo Odukoya, My aunt, and Ellen Degeneres.

And for singing have got so many mentor for gospel, im going to go 4 kirk franklin and host if others, and my dear Wale adenuga of the redeemed christian church, also some nigerian singers...

Nigerian actress, thats genevieve

And educationally my dear Wole Soyinka...

I don't really have a role model per se... but I do have people I admire.

Typically they're people who do or say things that are the right things to say or do, but which are so unpopular at the time that they have few or no supporters. This is especially if they could easily keep quiet and do nothing, and when speaking or acting puts them at great personal risk.

I'm thinking of people like William Tyndale, the great Bible Translator who did a tremendous amount of work in translating the Bible so that it could be read not just by the high and mighty (in Latin) but by the common man (in English). This work met with fierce opposition from the Catholic Church (which was all powerful at the time), and it cost him his life. But I think that it's worth losing your life to ensure that ideas that you believe in are made available to many.

I also admire people who are polymaths - people who are are talented and take an interest in so many different and disparate areas. Obviously, I would have to mention Leonardo da Vinci (artist, architect, sculptor, engineer) or Isaac Newton (mathematician, physicist), But there are also many modern day polymaths around - people like Ray Kurzweil (who produced music synthesizers and optical character recognition software). It's great to know that there are such people who do not see any limit to how much they can learn and achieve - contrast that to the Naija attitude of 'it's not my line, so I don't care about it'.

i'd love to call all those wonderful,intellectual and powerful  rich people...who indeed r role models..because of what dey've achieved and what they stand for and all...but my role model  is my DAD.....he's just such a wonderful man...not perfect...just wonderful!!

but my ultimate role model...is God..
