Yes! Been powerful here isnt about controling british army! Its their influence to the society.

This forbes is of america so i dont think you expect them to put a monarchy on top.
Finally apart from british ppl and slave immigrant there lol no body else give a rat f.u.uu..k about her.

My thoughts exactly.....
Wonder what criteria were used
Would have expected Nos 16,19,21,26,27,47,51,78,92 to be further up the list.

Would love to see a breakdown of the determinants!!!

Congrats to Ngozi!!

You'll be surprised, she has a lot of clout than actually revealed.
She and her family generate a lot of tourism income for the UK. Their house is the most visible royal household in Europe and possibly the most celebrated ..... encouraging monarchies elsewhere to enjoy support of a society largely democratic in thinking.

Hollywood films, songs, and other literary efforts and events lend their credibility to their institution or tragedies therein.

So its more than just being a Queen and leader of the Commonwealth, having priceless possessions outside of vast estates and commissions but being the matriarch of a family that has affected social thinking profoundly. Eg. Diana saga.

Right in naija, okonjo Iweala is not appreciated at all. Particularly, Nairalanders. Let us begin to appreciate and celebrate one of our own.

kettykin: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala : The most Powerful African woman ( Not black woman) Dead or Alive , Kudos to Igbo women . Despite the Marginalisation, Genocide and hunger as a war weapon news at least something that will gladen the hearts of Igbos.

Those who arent happy should die in their hatred , i remember that was how the same folks cried blue murder when she did nto get the world bank post did that still solve your Flood problem or prevent it.

Dlyna: Shakira made the list but Beyonce didn't. On what basis did they compile that list?

Beyonce has not made as much impact or doesn't hv as much influence in the lives of young girls in the US as Shakira does in Colombia.

Shakira was born in Colombia where much opportunities are not available. Shakira making it big, gave them hope.

She is like a pioneer in the Colombian music industry. She opened doors for other young Colombian girls who wanted to sing too.

Her charity organization there in Colombia has also benefited many young girls and families. Shakira's background gave her an advantage.

She very well deserves to be on that list more than Beyonce IMO and apparently that of Forbes too

Gen. Orumov:
These oyinbos and their meaningless compilations. The people on this their so called lists should enjoy the 'Feel good' feeling this will bring to them while it lasts without forgetting that nothing lasts forever and we are all going to die sooner or later. Kudos to people anywhere in the world who are also hardworking and are excelling/excelled in their own fields but haven't been recognized nor mentioned by these oyinbos .

Thats why its called ''most powerful'' not most hard working.
Envy can kill sha.

When they say powerful it doesn't mean you have to be some woman in your forties doing some formal and solemn business.
They mean influencial. And yes lady gaga, no matter how silly she looks, has the power to influence millions of lives around the world.

You see americans dont like dictators. When you are arguing with an and he/she runs out of words,you know what else? She will stood on the ground that they never had one person rule them for so long unlike any other place on earth. Im just saying that there will be so many that will disagree with you that english queen is more influential than those women above her. And again forbes are americans and americans dont like dictators, british shld publish theirs. About hollywood, that is diverse world and they made anyything they want.

How did they arrived at that list,what are the criteria used? Imagine Queen Elizabeth II occupying 26th spot with Lady Gaga who is hated by majority of people around the world occupying 14th position,that list is ridiculous.
Ngozi's 81st position is nothing with Gaga on 14th,Beyonce on 32nd,J-Lo on 38th with Shakira on 40th position,she was nominated purely based on past glory with world bank because that women has not been able to influence anything in Nigeria in the last 16 months.
