Amujale:


If you cannot name one invention that bears your name, the joke is on you.

OkunrinOloro:
You're still wrong. NONE of those people would have succeeded were it not for the active connivance of Africans.

Even to this day the majority of trafficked human beings in the world are Blacks and the traffickers who are their fellow blacks use African voodoo to keep their victims under control and stop them from escaping.

Amujale:


From what you write here, i can easly deduce that you have been brainwashed into believing what they (The West) want you to believe.

JaceBlaze:
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.

OkunrinOloro:
Allowing one's self to be "brainwashed" by objective facts is a healthy part of intellectual honesty. You ought to try it sometimes.

babzo:


People will just open their mouth to talk rubbish. Oga, go and use your medicine abeg.
And you are Prince of what again? Prince of rats?

OkunrinOloro:
Funny, because the same applies equally to YOU.

Noel1:


Yes, I also heard that Bill Gates too is from Ghana

OkunrinOloro:

As for latimer, I stopped taking him seriously after I found out that his other notable invention apart from a light bulb filament is a mobile toilet.

obentenyson:
it's one thing to be popular, it's another to be influencial.. Ali is influencial but not as most thinks.. He is the most influential person in the world of boxing. ..

Youngsage:


Well you have a point. but then again, his name being on the list won't be a bad idea. Heck, Tupac made the op's list too so?

Mayor101010:
Jesus was never a white man.

grandstar:
It's either between Martin Luther King or Barack Obama.

Martin Luther King civil rights crude helped end legal segregation against blacks in America.

Barack Obama was the president of the powerful country in the world for 8 years. He helped end the Great Recession that started in 2008 through pump priming and the Fed use of quantitative easing.

One could say he made little or no impact on the world as president(apart from helped ending a recession and usher in a recovery which benefitted other countries).

Now with Trump at the helm, one can feel Obama's impact better by not making decisions rather than stupid, daft and incomprehensible decisions that Trump makes

STILESGANG:
Tupac being on that list is a joke.The op is must be a gang member to even think Tupac us remotely influential.How many people even know that name today except you are into rap?

babzo:


Young man, how old are you? Tupac was a legend even when he was alive.
He is the GOAT!

RexTramadol1:




What's in Tu Pac's head





Don't go there, he's an intellectual



That's y he uses the cliche 'Don't judge a book by its cover'

Johncables402:


If Mandela was such a great black man he would have given each race the appropriate size of land , instead most of the land belongs to the minority whites while many blacks live in the fringes of society . I know residential land is more black than white, but what about the land that matters the most ? Agricultural ( You have been made to depend on your oppressors for food)? Is that sanity ?. I didn't know much about the land problems over there until I followed the debate between the Kenyans, the boer guy and lionessza6 , I thought she was playing victim mentality until I did my own research and realised that she actually had a point. Your inequality starts from the ownership of productive land , you cannot not have a bright future without owning the factors of production. Your banks require collateral which is mostly land with value before they give you a loan for a business expansion , how many blacks qualify for this ?. You can never play a meaningful role in your economy without land ownership my guy . I watched a documentary on why Chris chani was killed and it makes sense . The West tagged him divisive, that is because he wanted the land more than welfare that Mandela gave you people . Do you really believe that your boer friends would have opted for peace and unity if the people in slums looked like them ? Do you think they would be celebrating Mandela if the banks and mines belonged to all ( nationalised )? . They only supported the so called unity and peace because they got it all ; the institutions, banks , land and of course some of yalls love and loyalty lol. Your country is burning because of the mistakes of this man . I'm not saying he was a total disaster but he can't possible be a hero for black men , not when a black man still digs the dangerous mines without any hope of his sons ever owning a share . I'm not saying he should have taken everything from whites, but he shouldn't have given it all to them not when all the hard work for centuries has been done by the blacks . Without fixing the land issue , I do not see your country ever finding peace , you will always talk about the rainbow but the cries of the masses cannot be silenced forever . I smell another zim land grabbing case coming closer. With many videos from your country with whites tormenting poor black farmers and the many young blacks crying for land ...........1

Answer the question...

What killed awolowo? Was it not kill and dry? Heard the otapiapia dried him so well that there was no need for embalmment!

Refute it and stop bothering who or what I am Prince of!

XhosaNostra:


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.

okoroemeka:
I think dangote should be on that list been the richest black man is not a joke,that man has the Midas touch,if u try to make your own money you will really appreciate this man

hermesprogidy:

Leave that young man alone. Tupac was well ahead of his time when it came to music and lyrics in fact one of the smartest and deepest lyricists the world will ever find. People seem to forget he was only 21 years old when he passed on.

But you and "The West" are both wrong.

According to African studies, simultaneously, Christianity, Islam and Judaism combined are the reason for how broken the world is today.

Africans are kind, generous, tboughtful, charming.

The West is ruthless, thoughtless, brutal, unkind e.t.c

caracas:

Wetin this one dey tlk . Abi u don smoke that thing for this early afternoon?na wa o Africans are kind.....Lol

OladimejiRufai:


spurious claim spotted!!


Tupac was 25 when he died man

princfred:
Anyone with the full backing of oil government of millions of people with upto giving him monopoly in such huge market for decades can do a dangote. Not there.

Noel1:


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

wirinet:


If musicians, entertainers and politicians is all we can nominate as the greatest blackman, then we are in trouble.
When the whites have a Leonardo da Vinci, Alexander the Great, William Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, Richard Hawkins, and thousands of others that have changed the world. We can only be proud of entertainers.

wirinet:

And dangote is the only Nigerian that had full government backing and monopoly.
I am sure if you were in the US, you will accuse Jeff Bezos of becoming the richest man in the world because of government backing and monopoly.
