Sometimes I ask my self this question. The answer that comes readily to my mind is Obama or Mandela. In can't think of any other person that has surpassed these two in terms of being influential and powerful. So I'd like my fellow nairalanders to suggest who they think is/was the greatest black man. So its over to you guys and chicks. If truly it boils down to Obama and Mandela, who then between the two is truly the greatest of all time?

I will be the greatest Nigerian ever liveth, because I want to leave good and great Legacies behind after my demise for generations coming after mine.
Click like if you want to be and all good things shall come your way.

Obama?
Among greatest black men that ever lived?,
I'll rather pick Mikel Obi.

Obama's presidency has contributed nothing to either the African American or we Africans
.
China has done more for Africa in One year,
Than Obama did for almost 8yrs now.

Not to forget that he vetoed the destruction of Libya and the murder of Muammar Gaddafi who was a very decent ruler.

If i wanted to mention 100 great Africans,
Obama will be number 100.

And u are almost his namesake ooo.

I AM.

There is no greatest black man. Too many to count have lived and gone. A lot more are still growing and some yet to exist. For every one publicized by the media a hundred who may have done more go unnoticed.

Every man is great in his own way. They only have to discover their gifts and utilize them to full capacity.
