Mo Abudu, John Boyega & Anthony Joshua Make Uk 100 Black Powerlist by rodeo0070(op): 7:58pm On Oct 29, 2018
The chairman and CEO Of EbonyLife Media, Mo Abudu, has been named on The Powerlist 2018. The list is an annual list of the UK’s top 100 most influential people of African and Caribbean heritage.

The Powerlist was recently revealed at a gala dinner in the City of London held to celebrate the honorees and raise funds for related charities.

Alongside Mo Abudu, some others who made the list include the likes of boxing champion, Anthony Joshua as well as Hollywood actor, John Boyega. Some others named on the list include Meghan Markle, Idris Elba, Thandie Newton, Naomie Harris and more.

The 12-year-old Powerlist is chosen from a list of nominees by a distinguished panel, chaired by a former high court judge, that includes a Queen’s Counsel and leading professionals in business and the arts. Each year, the panel is reminded that ‘influence’ of the nominees is defined as “the ability to positively alter events and change lives as over a protracted period of time”.

Reacting to the news of being named on the prestigious list, Mo said,

“The Powerlist is the most authoritative recognition of Black influence in the UK, therefore I am honoured and humbled to be included. It’s nice to know that those of us who return home to make our contribution are not being overlooked. This publication is sent to schools and universities all over the UK, so I hope that my story can influence even one child to follow their dreams.”

Topping the list though, is the inspirational Ric Lewis, CEO of Tristan Capital Partners, Britain’s largest black-owned and black run business. He’s also the founder of the Black Heart Foundation charity.

Others include Sharon White, Ismail Ahmed, Jacky Wright, Sandie Okoro, Ebele Okobi, Prof Funmi Olonisakin, Paulette Rowe, Edward Enninful, Richard Iferenta, etc.

shocked



Why will Mo Abudu make that list?

A woman who who walked away from the man who picked her when she was scum, married her and set her life on path.

Ungrateful woman.

They earned it
Re: Mo Abudu, John Boyega & Anthony Joshua Make Uk 100 Black Powerlist by Nobody:
Wow! Yorubas have always been the most influential/achieving tribe since time immemorial.
Pioneers of great feats. But we're beginning to relent lately, let's keep up the good work and not go backward.
Igbos too have been achieving so well.
Hausas should change their ways, embrace education and shun religious fanaticism and stone age barbaric lifestyle. They can be great too.
Nigeria Amaka! Good people, great nation!

Haha!!! I knew this post was clickbait. The OP intentionally listed Yoruba names in the title but when you read the article, you'll see 3 Igbo names there and I can bet that if you check the full list, you'll see more Igbo names. In other words...Igbo amaka!!!

Well, sadly for you, there are three Igbos in the top ten of the 100 UK Black Power list, and fourteen Igbos on the overall list.

People are talking about Mo Abudu and the other two guys because this is the first time they will be appearing on the list, not because they are the only Nigerians on it.

Everything on Nairaland is Igbo vs Yoruba vs Hausa.
Even when there is no reason for tribal comparison. Bunch of educated ignoramuses!

We understand. You have neither the data nor the requisite attention span to view the full list for yourself. Easier to just be dismissive about the facts. We understand. grin grin grin
