I'm an Igbo man and I respect the following leaders. President Buhari, Oshiomole, El Rufai, Aisha Buhari, Tinubu, Pastors Ize Iyamu, pantamı, Osibanjo, Amaechi, Okorocha and DCP Aba Kyarı.
Why must you mention that you're an Igbo man before listing the names of all the devils you know? You must be a devil yourself and can never be an Igbo man, no doubt.

We are in an era in Nigeria right now where we are actually running out of good people worthy of respect and emulation. Gone are the days when we use to have Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo and so on.This were all great Nigerians who were not corrupt and actually served their country well.

Even those whom we use to respect so much such as Adams Oshiomole, Femi Adeshina, Reuben Abati and even Buhari all got into government and started acting like the others.

So in recent times who are your stand out Nigerians worthy of such stand out respect?

For me I would say late Maitama Sule and Prof. Pat Utomi.

[s]I respect Fashola because he has the capacity to deliver if he has the authority or power in his hands

VP Osinbajo for his brilliance and intellectual capacity to embrace openness and progress. If he should become the President everything will be different

El Rufai though with some attending reservations but he's a man of quality

Anyim Pius for his capacity to collaborate

Aisha Buhari as a veritable whistle blower who actually should be praised rather than disdain
[/s]

What impact have they had on the average Nigerian and in the fight against the corruption epidemic?

They stated & showed it clearly that wealth is not about how much you are worth, but how many you have helped.
At the end, if I could give an estimated number of how many I was able to help in my lifetime, then I would still see myself as nothing but,,,,,,a failure.
