Tupac Shakur should be on the list. He is very influential even in death. His music will continue to be played in 1000 years time. Why is 2pac not on the list 😲?

If I am to pen down my own list, Jesus / Muhaamed wouldn’t be there cuz both never existed. They were all fairytales..
Then why can you substitute them with satan?

This list is not balance and correct.
I believe this list was prepared by a racist.
In the Year 2000, a survey was carried out, then I was outside Nigeria.
Bob Marley the King 👑 of Reggae was voted amongst the 10 most influential people who ever lived?
So what took away his name from the list.

A pure racist list.
Prepared by a dangerous racist.
Those who prepared the list could not hide the hate for the black race.

Year 2000, a global survey was done, I was abroad then. Bob Marley was voted amongst the 10 most influential people who ever lived.

From their own view.... When you come to Africa, start to mention my great great grand father, Nwankwo ikenga Agu
Nelson Maddela

Re: 100 Most Influential Persons in History By World Statistics by okito: 5:47pm On May 18
No Michael Jackson, Barak Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela?

brain54:
I was looking for Michael Jackson...


I wouldn't call this a list of influential people by the way but of famous people.


They isn't a way someone wouldn't have heard about these people one way or the other. Even by those outside their respective fields!
What influence did MJ had on humanity?
Most of them on that list even after their death, their influence and works are still felt.

Our good friend, Adolf, made it to number 7. cheesy grin

I nor see Mandela or Obama in the list, abi I needed glasses now?

No Emperor Haile Selassie, no Pharoah Djoser, no King/Pharoah Tutankhamun, no Pharoah Ramses II, no Imhotep. Ok o.

Folks, in this world, just be known for one thing, good or bad.

In the future, when a local poll on popularity is done in Nigeria, Oyenusi, Anini and Sanni Abacha may rank higher than Otedola, Majek Fashek, or late President Yar'Adua.

Very racist. Lost interest when i noticed that there were no Black/African names. And i very much agree that this is dangerous perhaps designed with the intention to demoralize young blacks/Africans

It will be clearer than water to you on the last day, that Jesus is real and He is Lord and Saviour. I pray you know this truth before it's too late.

Those were never opportune to know Jesus and even those that did, few acknowledge Jesus. Very few!

Jesus is not influential across multiple countries but Jackson is worldwide.

His acceptance and influence has no boundaries!
Re: 100 Most Influential Persons in History By World Statistics by Felicity001(m): 5:56pm On May 18
Rubbish list, shame to those that compile this list.

Like... where is Micheal Jackson in the list?
