Those pple were very unfair.

They forgot to sample votes from a million & one zombies, the Almajiri army, the thousands of wandering nomadic Buharian-bastards doubling as goat-herders, killer herdsmen & full-time terrorists!

It was not their fault anyway because the article read that they interviewed 37000 pple and Bubu's crowd hardly qualifies as "people" in saner environments

this list isn't complete without shedrack777.
op, edit it fast and put shedrack777

I have no argument about bill gates being first, but Obama as second, no. Even Rinaldo and Messi are more popular than Obama.
Erdogan the turkey pre sident is fast becoming the most reviled person in Turkey, that guy is turning to a dictator.
Same as Xi Jinping who is also turning to a dictator.
