Pastor W F kumuyi made great impact on my life as a child,  I was in deeper life for many years. He help me shape my tomorrow,  And gave me vision in education,  I hold him with high respect. Pastor EA Adeboye, because of his humble ways, and wisdom and his method of preaching the word of God. I use to be a member of RCCG . I still go to the holy spirit night when in Nigeria. Aminu Kano, Micheal Enahoro,Tai Solarin. wole Soyinka for going to jail for his believe, Ganiyi faweyimi for going to jail for his believes, Tony rapu, Pastor Eskor. I think President Obasanjo hard approach to things too,  he means well, but get misunderstood.  Gowon, he united Nigeria after the civil war, Shehu Yar Adua because he past on in jail without given up his believe, Jean chretien, speak his heart all the time, Pierre Trudeau canada premier ministre, Zanana Akande, George Bush sr, Bill clinton before monica,  Martin luther king jr,  Orkar because he dared the system, , Ojukwu really for believing in himself, Tunde Idiagbo  too great,  Uncle Bola Ige, Lateef Kayode Jakande, Micheal Ajasi, Micheal Otedola,  My wonderful friend from Adamawa state Emon Ishaya, He would never collect abribe, even when he could not feed his family. Domkat bali,  Gbolahun Modashiru,   Prof Ibiyemi, Prof Salami, Prof Owolabi. Moshood Abiola because he made money from nothing,     Bill graham worderful preacher, , Joseph tanka and Isaac boro,  cecila Ibru, i would like to meet her someday. so also is HID awolowo,  dangote, Datata, Adamu Ciroma, Bala Usman, Iweala, the emir of kano, oni of ife, micheal Adenuga, Sobomi Balogun, Erestus Akingbola, Jim Ovia and look the list is too long for the internet,  Like this young man with the insurance campany NICON. For trying to change the sector,  Jimoh Ibrahim,  It is not easy my brother to change a system ,   The list is to much to make, I use to really like Bola Tinubu utill he team up with Atiku,  Sam Ogbemudia,  Prof Olikoye Ransome Kuti , Chinua Achebe , Gamaliel Onosode, Chief Bisi Akande , Alhaji Maitama sule,  I am impress by Fashola, even when i did not support him before. Orpah because it is difficult to be a black woman in america and make it. I want her to have a baby sha, Bill corby, i love his jokes. Segun Odegbami

@Kosovo

Return the topic 'Insult:mtn Locates Headquaters In Ghana' from phones section to politics section because am about to do something nasty right now.

In no particular order
Gani Fawehinmi- Fearless, just,principled,intelligent, social critic, fighter for the masses
Obafemi Awolowo- sharp, witty and visionary leader,
Fela Anikulapo- fearless social critic, great music ahead of his time and from a formidable and legendary family
Chinua Achebe-insightful great story teller and writer
Yakubu Gowon-young leader steering Nigeria out of a civil war, vision

For now, I can think of the following

1. Ahmadu Bello ( A patriotic leader that brought great progress to northern nigeria in particular)
2. Gani Fawehinmi (He lived his life fighting injustice)
3. Jonathan Goodluck (A good politician from the south whose humility has ensured he remains on course to be president of nigeria sooner or later)
4. Aminu Kano (A selfless political leader who died a poor man when he had the chance to be as rich as he wanted to be)
5. Pat Utomi (Intelligent, hardworking man)

1.Kaduna Nzeogwu
2.Tunde Idiagbon
3.Obafemi Awolowo
