Shang Yang
I watched a documentary on Netflix about the Qin Empire, During the warring state period of China....the first season featured the reforms of the Qin Kingdom, these reforms were spearheaded by Shang Yang, he removed the rule by man ( benevolence ruling) with the rule of law...the rule of law became the basis of the strong foundation of the Qin state, that would eventually strengthen the kingdom to expand and unify other states during that period....

Cyrus The Great
Founder of the achaemenid empire, which later known as the Persian empire...
I am fascinated with Cyrus because of the reforms he made as regards the decentralization of power, creating regions with certain autonomy...(satrapies) this intelligent reforms helped to manage the ever expanding empire...i also love the reforms towards human rights, people with different religions were allowed to practice freely

Julius Caesar
A military man with political intelligence, his ability to rise to power was fascinating, getting into the Roman senate and becoming a key figure..
My greatest admiration of Caesar was his fixing of a broken Senate, a senate that was divided and lost competence to govern due to personal interest...he took the helm and brought stability to the state....

Xi Jinping
I have lots of admiration for the current Chinese president...my admiration for him stems for his ability to crack down on corruption when he took power, he brought stability to the CCP, a party that was fracturing due to multiple factions and corruption...
This reforms are very important to ensure stability, especially in a one party state ..while it may have its disadvantages of stifling internal democracy in the party, his reforms have brought stability, which is the most important thing...
It is unclear what Xi's legacy will be, but i hold him in high esteem

Vladimir Putin
Adolf Hitler
Che Guevara
Josef Stalin
Idi Amin


Honourable mention: Fidel Castro

Qaboos Bin Said
The Late Sultan of Oman....i have much admiration for this man, he overthrew his father in a coup, took power and modernized the country....
Imagine the balls it would have taken to carry out a coup, and make much needed reforms,
Reforms are never easy, there's always going to be opposition from the people who are benefiting from the system u want to change....

Hitler's Blitzkrieg tactics revolutionized warfare so much that even the Red Army that defeated him adopted it.

Europe was stuck in WWI's trench warfare until Blitzkrieg's mechanized barrage came through and is still in use till this day.

Barack Obama
The 44th President of the USA is an all time great for me...he guided the US during the 2008 financial crisis.. his intelligence in political affairs was top notch...the Recovery and reinvestment act ( a stimulus package) helped the USA and the world navigate through the financial Crises

My political figures are


Peter Obi, the numerous uno, the one I feels true leadership from.

Lee Kwan Yu, the foremost leader of Singapore who transformed the country.

Bin Almin, the leader of UAE 🇦🇪 who changed the course of the nation.

Qaboos, the revered leader of Oman 🇴🇲

Thomas Sankara, the pragmatic Burkina Faso cum African leader.




Only Peter Obi is alive now!

Deng Xiaoping ( Second President Of China)
This Man is an Amazon of wisdom, Deng succeeded Mao Zedong and was able to correct mistakes made by his predecessor, the Country was tethering towards instability due to bad economic policies...Deng was able to institute reforms that laid the foundation of China's economic might today...
Deng Is an all time great, he stabilized the state in a dire time and brought in new ideas to galvanize the economy...he also instituted term limits to curb the power of the president and also promoted internal party democracy
