Thomas Sankara I belive was the father of pan Africanism. he believed so much in Africa and her people and was never afraid to speak his mind. the particular speech he made at the UN General assembly telling the whole world that the Era of colonialism in Africa was gone was apparently too much for the whites to bear.he wanted Africa to produce instead of importing goods. he was there at every point urging Africans to stand up.such a great man. he didn't just fight for his motherland he fought for Africa. not many have done that

In my humble opinion, any African leader who dies at an old age has probably done deals with white people to continue to exploit and enslave his own people. Sankara, Lumumba, Malcolm X, all died in their 30s,even jesus died at 33.
The only exception to this is Mandela, and we all know that he allowed the whites to keep their stolen resources and blacks trapped in poverty.

i revere PA awolowo and his policies, he brought out the best in the Yoruba nation and no leader of our has been able to match his outstanding leadership. I place hi among the likes of Nelson Mandela, Kwame nkrumah but Thomas Sankara had he lived would probably have made Africa greater than Europe and the USA. the others I mentioned earlier fought for their people. Sankara wanted to liberate the whole of Africa. he wanted us to stop them from taking our resources,make the whites build their technology here instead of taking our oil away to refine, our cotton to produce, he knew the value of western education too so he wasn't a blind bigot oblivious to the facts. In my opinion he was the greatest African leader that ever lived

Africans open your eyes and realize, if you have any giant plan to transform the thinking or economic empowerment of Africa, you'll earn the wrath of the west. Every single person that wanted to set you free from colonialism was either jailed, blackmailed or killed.

Its still true now.

4. Nelson Mandela, South Africa

He was the first black President of South Africa and the most celebrated African leader of modern history.
Mandela led the anti-apartheid movement for over 50 years, and was successful in ending the decades of racial discrimination against the black natives by the white minority.
During his presidency, Mandela focused on reconciliation and ensured all was done to avoid a repeat of apartheid i.e the blacks maltreating the whites, and unification of the country.
Mandela died in 2013 aged 95.

Great man but he later sold out,the Mandela that fought before and during his prison terms is different from the Mandela(Madiba) that became the president,he went on to become a staged managed Mandela.who sold out on their Freedom Charter (F.C)Agreement

Mandela is the worst of all he abused the freedom charter agreement.he allowed all the white to own the vast majority of SA economy,when he came out of prison he became the right friend.He lived in their apartmenta when he separated from his wife winni, until his death his personal secretary,all his special advisers are all whites,no black man worked for Mandela

Nice post there but I guess there is a bit of a mix-up in this sentence (it was the whites who were maltreating the blacks and not as wrongly stated): "During his presidency, Mandela focused on reconciliation and ensured all was done to avoid a repeat of apartheid i.e the blacks maltreating the whites, and unification of the country."

I know that TERRORIST would make the list. Nelson Mandela was nothing but a celebrated terrorist also a bigot and racist. He was a puppet for the then USSR and then USSR funded his Terrorism act to carry out bombings in South Africa in the name of apartheid, At first, his goal was Communism as his allies were Fidel Castrol, Stalin etc

If you really were fighting for humanitarian course, why the heck would you go bomb a church in ongoing service killing the members in it. Yes, Mandela did that.


When Nelson Mandela and the communist African National Congress (ANC) eventually took over South Africa, more than 70,000 whites were murdered and untold numbers have been robbed, raped and tortured.

Mandela has been on the US watch list and wasn't even allowed to enter the US until 2008.

Why celebrate a terrorist out of ignorance?



if south Africans black did that, I love it so much because the white deserved it so much,

1. Kwame Nkrumah: Many young Africans learnt a lot of from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, people like Robert Mugabe sees Nkrumah as a role model. He is the number one Pan-Africanist. He loves Africa and Africans to the extent that he challenged all African scholars to write about African culture, science and religion in an encyclopaedia.
2. Thomas Sankara: A young Pan-Africanist, who detest the french imperialist so much, he turned things around in his country in a positive way. He is also, known as African Che Guevara. The statement he made at the Ecowas summit, made him a target for the French. He said "We won't pay a debt that never had any effect in our country. The lender of loans should go after the corrupt politicians that collected loans from them without using it judiciously". What a great man he was.
3. Gamel Abdel Nasser: The great Egyptian, love his people, Arabs and Africans. He nationalised the Suez canal despite the threat of Britain and France. He made his people to be patriotic citizens by picking up arms against the Imperialist Army. He made the prime minister of UK, Anthony Eden unpopular among Britons which later led to his resignation as the British Prime minister. He and Nkrumah, Halle Selassie brought the Idea of Organisation of Africa Unity (OAU)
4. Patrice Lumumba: The speech he made at the front of the Belgian king, and his relationship with the USSR made him a target for the US and Belgium. CIA launched an operation, which is, operation kill Lumumba.
5. Nelson Mandela: He tried for his people, but at the the end he never liberated the black South Africans from Economic bondage. Till today, the Europeans are the movers and shakers of the South African economy.

the whites have done more harm than good to the African societies, they have messed the world up with there evil policies and action thereby subjecting the Africans into modern day slavery. Neo-colonialism. look at how the destroyed Libya , Syria,the evil they carried out in Cambodia, Vietnam, Indian caste system, a d many others not mentioned. God will judge them all. They called Africans salvages, barbaric, scums, promiscuous people but they turned to be homosexuals, lesbians, transgenders what a stupid human beings they are. I hate the Britons. They came to Africa took away our people as their slaves, killed millions of them and are still killing them (white supremacy and racism) in USA,
