Where is Ibrahim Badamosi

Where is Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida's name on the list? The list is not complete without his name. EDITOR'S NOTE: Dear Didi, you asked a very good question. However, space and time didn't permit us to publish all of the names we would have loved to. That was because Africa had many rulers who brought the continent down.

And why is former President

And why is former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor's name not on the list? I think it is laudable what you guys are doing and you must set up mechanisms in every African country to monitor the activities of their Presidents so that you can have an up-to-date list for your readers. The list must also be updated every year and efforts must be made to post your selections in almost all African countries for the citizens to know that others are watching over them as well. So far, so good; keep up the good work. EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks for the very useful suggestions. They would be taken into consideration in the future.
