myners007:

You mean after you Nigerians killed 3 million people for your useless "one Nigeria", you turn around to blame the people you killed on Ojukwu? Wonders shall never end!

tohyorsih2:
Gen. Sanni Abacha

With all due respect madam toyosi...

Ur brain needs....
Thank God I did not finish it. I no want ur wahala

Martin Luther King, he made every black person realize they mattered.

Thomas Sankara is very good shout.

Satanist Barack Obama.He Encouraged The Legalization Of Homosexuality In The Usa.He Has A Special Place In Hades

Malcolm X

Lol are you telling me Bob is more popular than michael jackson?

kaen1317:
Bob Marley by far. He is known worldwide and his work lives on and still very relevant till tomorrow. All the other greats are not on his level in terms of coverage and relevance of work

Mohammadu Buhari is missing in that list

OneCorner:

God forbid dat stupid Mandela.
Just an over hyped person
I will choose Kanu and idi Amin over him a million times

irony

africandollar:

I seriously doubt that, he’s of middle eastern heritage and would look more like the present day Israeli of whom you’ll hardly see anyone of which is black apart from our ‘Biafrans’ claiming to be Jews.

Original Jews/Israelis were not Light skinned. The Jews/Israelis you see today are as a result of migration and intermarriages! Christ was more "Ethiopian" . There's a difference between a person's Race and a person's Ethnicity!

I would personally pick micho jacko... His influence cut across the world and his name still rings bell even in the ears of New generation. Others like king Jr and Mandela had their influence just within their regions of America and Africa respectively. Tupac existence was short and before his influence would become vasr hr was gone. On and On. But my opinion picks micheal Jackson among the listed names. Obama shouldn't even make the list. What spectacular thing was he known for than being the usa President? Positions others have occupied and will still do. But till today no one has wore the shoe micheal Jackson left behind.

Prove below

Oga i will fight you o.
Respect yourself. What nonsense did you just spew.

Infact , dont let me meet you for road, because i will make you experience in 1 minute what Papa Mandela went through in 27 years.

Who cares if he is a disgrace.Doesnt diminish his influence.He was the first globally beloved black star

sykeng:
why include Michael Jackson? Michael is a disgrace to black race, Martin lurther king, Nelson Mandela, Marley, Fela ( locally) then Tupac.

Martin Luther Kings Jnr

BuhariAdvocate:
Add Awolowo to your list for the sake of fairness and equity.

You guys forgot naira Marley

And please remove Tupac he was just a fucking thug.A tout must not be on the such an important list.What message are black people sending?That we celebrate thugs?

Please add to the list
Seun Osewa
Thomas Sankara.
MKO Abiola
Tai Solarin
Kaduna Nzeogwu
Muritala Mohammed

Number 1 of all time is Nelson Mandela. Greatest black man who ever lived, followed by Martin Luther King Jnr, then Pele.

Nonsense person like you

How... is MJ a disgrace??

Sorry Bro, are you sure you are ok ? Idi Amin ?

BankyGee:
None of the above
Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson is not black but samoan

OkunrinOloro:
Just the composition of this list alone shows what low achievers black people are.

If an ALL TIME list includes the likes of Tupac in it then one can only surmise that black people are desperately short of real role models.

Where are the black Einsteins? Where are the black Isaac Newtons, Shakespeares, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerbergs, Steve Jobs, Alan Turings, Carl Sagans,Louis Pasteurs, Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Tessla, Elon Musk, etc etc?

If a list of most influential White men were to be compiled or influential Asians, it would be far more impressive and make a lot more sense than this joke of a list.

During these white people's time, our forefathers were busy being shipped into slavery...and those who weren't were being hunted by the image of it.

They are our heroes for bringing us outta bondage that you probably would still have been, had they not taken the bold step.
