Cetshwayo ruled in the late 19th century, not the 18th. Why does he make this list and Shaka doesn't? I find that odd; Cetshwayo wasn't that remarkable a king. 1 Like |

Emperor Haile Selassie should be there, king Nimrod(first recorded king in the world) also should be there |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by macof(m): 3:01pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
emperorgoke: is nimrod even a real person and if he was, he wasn't African |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by Wulfruna(f): 3:13pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
macof: I would also add Agaja Trudo of Dahomey (before I mention Gezo), Ewuare of Benin, Shamba Bolongolo of Baluba and Moshesh of Lesotho. 1 Like |

emperorgoke: If I want to put an Ethiopian emperor there, I will go for Menelik II before Haile Selassie. Menelik led his country to defeat the Europeans and preserved his country's independence at a time the rest of Africa was falling under European colonial rule. What is Haile Selassie's legacy, besides being mistaken for a god by misguided Rastafarians? |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by Nobody: 5:00pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
Wulfruna:due to the fact that some people, the Caribbean to be precise pray in his name " in da name of Jah Rastafaria, da mos high, da higherman" rastafari is the real name of Haile Selassie. Apart from King of kings(Jesus) nobody uses name of any king to pray except in the name of rastafari. Rastafarianism is a religion just like other religions. Virtually all the Kings u mentioned av not heard bfr except pharaoh... Don't call them misguided because it is their religion, voodoo can also be traced to Haile Selassie. C'mon! He deserve a shirt in ur list jor |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by Nobody: 5:08pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
macof:bro! Google the name, king of shinar, the Grandson of Noah in the Bible. The Grandson of Ham the youngest son of Noah |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by macof(m): 5:54pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
emperorgoke: you seem to pick your points from religious texts and beliefs .. We talking history here sir not theology or anything of the sort |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by Nobody: 7:18pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
macof:so Noah and his descendant not part of history? This is one of the untold history of Africa, u mean the ORIGIN of black race on earth not part of history? I am not a theologist, I'm a Social scientist " Geographer" nd have read so many archeologist papers. Nimrod and Tafari(Haile Selassie) should be on the list. Emperor Haile Selassie is the only king respected by Jamaicans in Africa. Take it or leave it |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by Wulfruna(f): 7:45pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
emperorgoke: Er...Voodoo has no connection to Haile Selassie. Voodoo (vodun) came from the Fon people of Benin Republic. I'm not necessarily saying Haile Selassie was not a remarkable ruler; I'm only saying there were Ethiopian Emperors who were more remarkable than him. What are his achievements, really? The Italians took his country from him and he ran to the League of Nations to complain. (The same Italians that Menelik II defeated before his time). In his old age, small boys in the army overthrew him in a coup and placed him under house arrest and (probably) murdered him. The fact that a cult in Jamaica who held Ethiopia in high regard accorded him the status of a god is, from the standpoint of a political historian, of very little consequence. |
Re: Most Powerful Africa Kings Of All Time by macof(m): 8:18pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
emperorgoke: yes, Noah is not so much an historical figure as he is a religious figure origin of black race got nothing to do with the Jewish religious text excuse me but why do you think nimrod is African (assuming such a person ever existed) I have nothing against Haile Selassie |
