It is not a secret that West Africans have dominated and influenced many things in Africa, including music, sports, business, and politics. For every list of top Africans doing great things, you will find that two to five people on the list are West Africans. Look at the statistics below:
1. The richest pastors in Africa features five West Africans. The names of the Pastors are Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, Pastor Chris Oyakilome, Bishop Ayodele Oritsejafor, and Prophet TB Joshua.
2. Four West Africans, namely Aliko Dangote, Davido, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Fatma Samoura, appear on the list of most influential Africans.
3. Apart from Egypt, the countries which have dominated African football and won most Africa Cup of Nations includes Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Ivory Coast and they are all from West Africa.
4. The richest African footballers’ list has Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure, Michael Essien, and Samuel Eto’o, while the richest African musicians’ list has Davido, Wizkid, Don-Jazzy, and Akon. All these brothers are from West Africa.
5. The list of successful African Authors has six West Africans namely; Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Wole Soyinka, Camera Laye, Mariama Ba, and Buchi Emecheta.
When I looked at these statistics, I was inspired to study my brothers and sisters from West Africa and learned valuable lessons which I decided to share with you in this book.
