Booker T. Washington is greater than all of them combined

My view

So if you remove all of them and place Booker T there, the world will be just as advanced as it is?

Some black intellectuals (especially Web Dubois) don't even agree that Booker's legacy is a very positive one.

Think about this
A black person calls on you to leave your African way of worship and worship in the way of Arabs, and this is a plus to Africa, how?
Islam is a complete way of life. It's a gift to humanity not just Arabs. It's the only religion that doesn't discriminate based on race or skin color.

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.

And we are still in bondage. If any black worship a white jesus and arabian allah then you are still in bondage. Until.you return to the Gods your ancestors worshiped then you begin to experience freedom.

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

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


Only an ignorant person would put a terrorist like Murtala Mohammed on the list. Murtala was a coup plotter, war criminal and a genocidal killer

Hard to pick,too many legends.As a South African I will have to go with Nelson Mandela for now,the man restored sanity in our nation and we will always love him for that.I believe an African American will feel the same about Martin Luther King,it's all about how you relate with these people and how they have impacted your life.

This needs clarification. Most influential black African or most influential African American? As being influential in Africa does not make you influential in the USA. Secondly being influential in Nigeria does not mean you are revered in the Caribbean or the rest of Africa for that matter.

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.

Do you know that Elon Musk is a black man

Race wise, I think having Tupac on that list is OK. How many Chinese or Indian role models can you think of save for Mahatma Ghandi. Abeg blacks dey try.

A complete way of life, founded by the Arabs and based on Arabic culture and language? What nonsense.

A religion that claims that Arabic is a divine and superior language because this was the language of the prophet? Tell me about equality.

You see a full fledged black man drop all his unique African ancestral cultural names and aswer a name like AHMED MOHAMMED ABDULLAHI. (Purely Arabic names), is that not madness?

its an insult to mention Mandela with those names.

In fact we blacks underate Mandela, he is a global icon outside Africa.


In my opinion the most influential Blackman was martin Luther king because he gave black Americans the freedom consciousness.

It was only a matter of time before that foundation would filter in to all blacks globally since it was possible in the greatest country in the world

Its difficult to pick Martin Luther ahead of Mandela.

I honestly don't see much difference between those two great guys.

True, Luther paid the price with his life - but Mandela was also kept in isolation for 27 yrs.

Also, Mandela could also have lost his life - but for fate.

I think they are equal...

Worthy of note... Desmond tutu and Malcolm X

Most influential?
The question is in what field?

The most influential in sport is great but is he better than the most influential in politics, emancipation, governance, music etc

If you break it down, we'll truly be able to solve the problem.

Like who is the most influential black Musician?
Who is the most influential black leader?

He meant the person who's contributed most to humanitarian cause.

Oh! I Luv 2pac too much.

MJ donated about 500million dollars to charity

He was regarded as the entertainer who supported the most charities by Guinness world records


He broke the racial barrier on MTV and gave other black artists the opportunity to be aired on Mtv and other media


He influenced many contemporary musicians.. Chris brown, Usher, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Beyonce and many more said Michael influenced them


He helped children, people with disabilities etc


And u came here to say who Michael jackson help? It is a shame even we the blacks are stabbing ourselves at the back.


Sister, Michael helped the world to a great degree... You can take that to NTA and quote me there grin
