For most of the guys on that ur list, I bet u, a great bunch of Nigerians do not know them at all....


..and Mr mod, i frankly think that SAKA in your list( number 1) grew more popular with that name because of his etisalat advertisement gigs.

Our SW people often hardly look beyond their side when talking about national matters, like Nollywood or politics.

They just added two outsiders to complete the number.

So much about one Nigeria. Not! Only petroleum unity.

GuY what is the meaning of this, this is fake list

That's actually what surprised me. How can you not add Osuofia to such a list filled with relatively unknown people. It would have made sense to just narrow it down to Yorubas in the title.

What of segun Arinze (black arrow)
That name is compiled by indomie generation
