Which Historical Figure Is Overrated? by Fisher85tow: 11:45am On Aug 05, 2022
"King Tutankhamun. He is the most well-known pharaoh, but he hardly accomplished anything before he died at age 19. He's only famous because of the amount of treasure that was found in his tomb."

"Paul Revere. He gets almost all the credit for warning of the British invasion, even though he was one of five riders. Reverve was important to American history, but his claim to fame is overrated."

"Steve Jobs and other famous scientists like Elon Musk. They claim they do all the heavy-lifting, but in reality, they have other capable scientists pitch and create innovative products."

P.S: If you're fed up with slow trade executions, then buckle up as AssetsFX is currently offering lightning-fast trade executions along with an ultra-wide range of trading opportunities!

"Princess Diana. She wasn't a bad person — in the context of the British royal family, she was special for how she connected with the public. However, it’s weird how she's almost treated like a saint. The Diana obsession is out of proportion to the reality of who she was."

"Thomas Edison. He didn't really invent anything — his hired team did." The electric light bulb already existed, but Edison had his team test 6,000 materials to create a more practical bulb for homes.

"Gandhi. If you look into his life, he did some really weird things like sleep next to young girls to test his chastity."

"Nelson Mandela. I know people from other countries revere him, but as a South African, I feel differently. All he did was spend years in jail and become president AFTER apartheid ended. I still think he’s a great person, but he's overrated."

Thanks for reading!

Muhammadu Buhari, who was Nigeria's Head of State between December 31, 1983 and August 27, 1985 after illegally overthrowing the democratically elected government of Shehu Shagari.

He jailed innocent people and trampled on their human rights while enacting several decrees to stifle the press. He voted in support of Nigerien to a Nigerian in coming the OAU Secertary General. His regime was described as the most inhumane governmentin the history of Nigeria that should never be allowed to rule this country again. An advice Nigerians failed to heed. An animal in human skin.

He shall ROT IN TH HOTTEST PART OF HELL FIRE.

Op, l guess you have personal issue with Nelson Mandela, nobody hates him, he spends 27 years in prison fighting for his people, and he never betrayed his two other colleges when they died. He was the only Africa man having statue erected in England by the queen. Common op he was a great man.
