im not so sure about pastor ashimilowo even though he has a growing church.

for those living in the UK the owner of BENTV is very very influential.

Mama Bakassi in the presidency

Gani Fawehimi ought to be on the list.

pastor ashimolowo is important because amyone that can direct or tell or advice in excess of 30,000 blacks of african/carribean origin how to vote and what to do in the uk is influential and he s known and controll more influence than alistair shoyode,

the synagogue man pastor joshua is an influential nigerian too-even though he s got controversy round him for some reason,his church is massively growing and he has the largest amount of foreigners all round the western world in his congregation.

gani fawehinmi
henry okah-leader of mend millitants, albeit infamous sha,
mujaideen dokubo-not too sure about his influence these days but he was all over the news till he got arrested
emir of sokoto,kano,kaduna
chief adedibu-either u agree with his methods or not

Nwanko Kanu
Enoch Adeboye
Cecilia Ibru
Gani Adams
Orji Uzo kalu
Genevive Nnaji
Reuben Abati

@omo ibo

Olusola Saraki is a very influential man in Nigeria. His son, Bukola Saraki, is governor
of Kwara State; his daughter, Gbemisola Saraki, is a federal Senator.

Do you think this is just by coincidence ?

I just googled her now and it seems she's a TV presenter.

It depends on the definition of influential because his feats sounds more like a kingpin.
