Mobolaji Aluko
So many questions, so few answers.
I am still trying to figure out why your name was left out at the last minute. Explanation for mine was that I am Number 101.
And there you have it.

> JUI is just wondering about two issues here:
>
> 1. Is the list of names in each category in any order of influence, importance etc?
>
> 2. Its surprising that iconic time-tested Royalties and people are absent [Queen Liz; Japan Emperor, Warren Buffet, Ted Turner, Bill Cosby, Stephen Hawkins etc];
>
> 3. What happens when influential leaders leave office…….they diminish in influence? If not, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton, Boutros-Boutros Gali/Kofi Anan [former UN SG]
