load of crap. Akon? |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by blazingtw: 9:46am On May 31, 2009 |
Read the article on the blog. It’s all official, Akon is the man doing the music for the Soccer World Cup 2010, First African to sing with Micheal jackson. He has signed artist from all over the world, faze from nigeria, sway from the UK, lady Gaga from the US. ETC. |

What do you mean by Akon not being influential?! If Akon and Otedola were to go to a village in China who will affect decision making?! I don't agree with Otedola being on the list but Akon deserves it. |

I want to believe the list is not in any order, otherwise Kofi Anan should come only behind Obama and Mandela. The honour he got @ English FA final is enough to show how influential he is in 2009. I disagree with Aliko and Dangote being there. |

Where is "Daddy"?  |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by Epiphany(m): 3:05pm On May 31, 2009 |
Jarus: I guess Aliko and Femi are there because for the first time in History, Nigerians are ranked among the top richest people in the world. Their influence may be in the sphere of international business |

I agree with you, the amount of employee each employ also helps the economy. |

Who be Akon? |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by blazingtw: 3:24pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
I know this will be a suprise for everybody, but this guy has really put africa on the map. The american and europeans don't see him as african but international artist. http://entertainmentdock..com/2009/06/top-ten-african-countries-to-live-in_01.html |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by blazingtw: 11:27am On Jun 03, 2009 |
Do any body have any names to go on the list |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by Meldrick(m): 12:13pm On Jun 03, 2009 |
mjo: GOOD QUESTION Jarus:hmmm!!!! but does this name belong to two different individuals? |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by Epiphany(m): 12:25pm On Jun 03, 2009 |
mjo: I want to understand a bit more, what you mean by this statement. Are you talking of 'youth' influence or 'high level' government or national influence and interest? If both Otedola and Akon appear before the president or prime minister of China, they will THROW AKON OUT OF THE MEETING. What does he (a musical gangster) have to offer, other than the pleasure of entertainment? The best he can probably do is to gather a group of like minded artistes to donate some money towards some plausible cause. Otedola is a billionaire and an entrepreneur. He is a business man who can open the doors for the chinese in Nigeria and probably in Africa. He can partner with them in shipping, oil trading, construction etc, I am not saying that Akon is not influential. All i am saying is that there are levels and spheres of influence. Villagers in china will probably recognize Akon for SHORT TERM material benefits because but for longer term and more constructive ventures, the governments in China (who will probably understand the intricacies of business more) will favour Otedola. |

blazingtw: I dont agree with the names above, as INFLUENTIAL IN AFRICA!  |
| Re: Top Ten Most Influential Africans 2009 by blazingtw: 3:01pm On Jun 03, 2009 |
Well musician are also businessmen, they employ lots of people and this contribute to any economy in the world. As for Akon he his internationally known in comparision to the local musicians in Nigeria. He potrays himself as a gangster to be recognised in the US, he has various side-projects include a clothing line, a planned reality show and a diamond supply company. |

Jay bee. Since you know so much on number 5 why don't you further your research on him and get back to me. 5. Tidjane Thiam = who is he? the first black ceo to head a ftse 100 company. dude hasn't even started but yet y'all name him as influential. how is this influential to africans? 1. Obama = Why is africa trying to claim him now? We are proud to be assiociated with him. 2. Mandela = What did he do in 2009? Read further on south africa. Please you really need to educate yourself. 3. Aliaune Thiam( Akon) = Maybe but then again how does his actions influence the life of africans? 4. Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma- President of South Africa = By winning a one sided election? No by changing a regime in Africa. 6. Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Ali Al Amoudi= who is he? Do your research. 7. Aliko Dangote = What has he done to be influential? isn't he the same dude accused of manipulating the stock market? Have you checked how many staff he employes 8. Femi Otedola = Another questionable entry. You need to do some reading before answering. 9.Raila Odinga and Morgan Tsvangirai = A worthwhile entry. Democracy at it's best 10. Kofi Annan = Respected man worldwide and leader on peace talks across africa. |
