Nelson Mandela.

That man is not supposed to be a Blackman because his thought process was entirely different from that of a regular Blackman.

That's why the world will continue to celebrate him...even in death.

Mandela is an AFRICAN but you are a BLACKMAN. Only the Africans of your kind of mindset are blacks

Nelson Mandela

Imagine this rubbish! Halle Sellassie that was assassinated by his officers.

Point of correction it is Haille Sellasie, even if he was killed by his officers doest that make him less an African or does it reduce his status as the choosen lion of the tribe of Judah.
He was not assassinated !

I love you

I love you too my Burna babe

Marcus '' The Messiah'' Garvey - He tried to unite all Africans. He encourages all freed black slave to go back to Africa.
Jesus Christ was also a black hebrew man from the tribe of Judah Emperor Haille Saleisse was also powerful black man who was from the same lineage as Jesus christ.

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.

Jesus was never a white man.

abeg! who Michael Jackson help?
Oh! I Luv 2pac too much.

Compared to michael jackson,Tupac is nothing lol

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.

bros I Taya o. 2pac wey dey shout Bleep you from morning till night. We blacks are far behind.

Do you know that Elon Musk is a black man

OH I totally agree. I've never seen a blacker fellow than this guy right here�

All those black people in the list are either freedom fighters or musicians whose music touched the world. We Blacks need to improve.

Is Dwayne Johnson a black man? Some people will just be talking out of context.

Yes a Black/Samoan

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

Abeg, carry your yama yama wahala comot for my side.

What did Mandela do to Africa?

How did he influence Africa?

Did he fight for the independence of Africa?

For starters, he served only ONE TERM. So he set an example for those with a conscience, unlike many who wanna rule for life, even when they're one foot from the grave! He was a rare breed of his kind as far as Africa is concerned. He gave up power! If that's not something worth emulating in our Africa that's plagued with power-hungry dictators, then I don't know what is.

Furthermore, he united South Africans under his tenure. Many African countries are in need of such unbiased & unifying force, instead of having presidents that thrive on division, because it distracts the people from the incompetences of their leadership. That's another rare quality of his worth noting.
Africa is an entire continent, so it was not up to him to liberate it (as old & sickly as he was when he was head of state) when each country has its own head of state that is capable of making decisions that aren't self-serving, but choose NOT to for reasons only known to them. Africa doesn't need a messiah. African people need to liberate themselves from the clutches of selfish leaders, but that's a risk many of you are not willing to take for reasons best known to you. Mandela played his part & set a standard for those with a brain to use.

There are many black inventors from the likes of Philip Emeagwali who invented the fastest computer to Lewis Latimer who invented the filament of the light bulb. It is sad you don't get to hear about these people because the truth has been denied from you, schools won't teach you about these people rather they will teach you of non-black inventors, making them look like your lord and saviours.

Thomas Sankara

Well, the struggles of the black man is different from that of the white man. White privilege is a reality

Philip Emeagwali?? While l do not doubt his achievements, some of the claims about his feats are controversial though.
