Without a doubt...it has to be ROBERT MUGABE,... the man solely confronted all the western countries and threw thier allies outta Zimbabwe

Without partial
the one and only BABA IYABO ( OBASANJO) of Africa is the next

Joaquim Chissano has been exemplary in Mozambique
all other leaders in Africa, including NGA, have mostly been goons, criminals, and colossal shytheads

Apart from Desmond Tutu, sad to say, none

Wole Soyinka - the CB of T

Sani Abacha.

la_unique: Before he passed on Chinua Achebe was no 2. Now i think Archbishop Desmond Tutu should be in 2nd place

Who gave them the number?

AjanleKoko: Joaquim Chissano has been exemplary in Mozambique

By extension, the typical african must be a shythead, we deserve the leaders we get, surely?

I thought you guys knw PHILIP EMEAGWALI! He ought 2b d next. Followed by bishop tutu. *NOTE* Been the greatest doesn't mean u must be the oldest.

Wole Soyinka and Olusegun Obasanjo. These are the two men, in my opinion, that shake the continent whenever they speak. You can imagine the way newspapers sell whenever OBJ says anything. You can also imagine the way the literary world starts debating whenever WS publishes an essay, not to talk about his books, whose titles alone get people amazed.
