^^^To each his own.....we have to make allowances for ethnic bigots, so carry go abeg.

On topic: i'd say nationally is Soyinka, and internationally is Achebe; personally, there's little to seperate the two.

They are all in the same class,Fela,Soyinka,Femi Kuti,Achebe,Tai solarin,Gani and some other quiet gentle noble men and women,like my late parents.While people like obj,anenih,kalu,atiku,ibb,bankole,chukwumerije,tinubu and co are in the rogue class that most nigerians have grown to see as leaders and even role models.

Rtd Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
Pastor Tunde Bakare.

Case closed!

But that's not my problem. My problem is about the unemployed youths going about with no money in their pockets. That led me to come up with something here on nairaland to help our youths. You can team up with us to fight poverty: https://www.nairaland.com/1142592/lets-team-up-ensure-all

D most respectd man is late ojukwu ikemba of igbo land. He is still an icon

Baba is well respected locally and internationally, beliv it or go die

JAGABAN,TINUBU.

sabo oke: Baba is well respected locally and internationally, beliv it or go die

No sane person respects an african leaders,especially a notorious one like nigeria outside the shores of africa,with the exception of nobles like Mandela and Tutu.

Only foo-ls respect failures.Obj is a tool used by the imperialists to oppress africans and they are the only people that acknowledges him.

Correct . . .

k2039: [color=soyouquotedme]Even internationally he is respected, so it's Obasanjo. [/color]

Dr. Joe Odumakin
Pastor Tunde Bakare
Festus Keyamo

Of couse any sane person will know the person is Buhari. Whoever can float a polical party without money and gathering so much followership and support within a short period of time is truly respected and accepted by the people - 12 million human beings voting for a candidate without monitory inducement, etc. Except if speaking grammar on TV, Radio, Social media, at lectures etc amount to popularity.

The likes of Pat Utomi, Wole Soyinka, etc have floated political party to test their popularity and we saw how popular/accepted they were at the pool.

What else can you use to test popularity if not democratic elections?

ogaemma: Dear Naira landers,
I came up with this thought after I watched live on AIT the wedding of Gov. Okorocha's daughter in Owerri.
I this the most respected man in Nigeria is Obasanjo. I do not know if there is any living man in Nigeria who have equalled the kind of public respect and honour that is giving to Obasanjo in occassions.
What do you think? Pls share your experience; who is the most respected & honoured living man in Nigeria?

Yea oBJ anytime.saw d commotion dat ensued immediatly he entered wit rochas,I was like WOW

The only national elderstateman alive today and nationally respected is Architect (Dr) Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme (Chains of degree) closely followed by Soyinka and Achebe except that few bigoted Yoruba are begining to hate him for saying his mind on their mini god Awo.

Obj is a nobody, he is a persona non-grata in East and anambra especially for causing havoc in dat state thru the ubas

MY FATHER I MEAN MY DAD

Denlightened: Professor Chinua Achebe;anytime any day

He's a Biafran and not resident in Nigeria. He doesn't believe in the entity called Nigeria, that's the reason he's been based in the States for some years now... In as much as I respect him as an Author, I'll never consider him as the most respected Nigerian!...For wetin na?...

AnodaIT: Wole Soyinka
If you know the meaning of the words ' respected and honoured '

Leonidas: Do not forget today's lesson
Son: respect and honor

O really! Achebe is more internationally recognized than a Nobel prize winner?

Personaly I would say

Achebe
Emeka Anyaoku
Soyinka


For the non living
Azikiwe
Gani Fahwehimi
Tai Solarin

Wat of buhari nd ibb nah??

Maitam Sule of Kano

Those who worship Awolowo are called Awoist.About 3million innocent souls perished because of Awolowos blood thirst.All Awoist must surely end up in hell fire like Awolowo for using their conscience to praise and worship Awolowo for masterminding slow death by hunger.He is already in hell with all his tittles and praises

OBanSanjo: Hate him or Love him, he is the most patriotic Nigerian in his class.

Two pple I respect the most: Ken Nnamani and Gen Buhari.

I am the most respected man in Nigeria

Prof.Achebe will be stoned in lagos.obj will be killed in udi or zakibiam,may even be humiliated in ijebu ode.ibb,Gowon will be ...anywhere,buhari will not be listened to in the east or west.Dangote will also be seen as an opportunist who doesn't want their brother to grow in nnewi.my illiterate father and mother don't know prof.wole soyinka.so in nigeria no nigerian is accepted nation wide.may be you work towards that!!!
