Powerful names like Aisha and Gbenga Oyebode, Prof Kanyisola Ajayi SAN, Olumide Aju SAN, Chike Ogeah, Ijeoma Nwaguoguo, and Itua Ighodalo have been shortlisted to be approached to form the core committee to select the most powerful Nigerians for 2025
Power and Influence for the Maddtimes Editors are those who impact society and whole sectors through massive charisma, conviction, and passion without necessarily wielding institutional and traditional powers.
They must have moved very massively in society positively or negatively forcing Narrative change and seismic movements in thought, lifestyle and decision-making
Categories include
Politics & Governance
Business & Economy
Media & Communications
Technology & Innovation
Arts & Culture
Entertainment
Sports & Athletics
Legal & Judiciary
Philanthropy & Civil Society
Academia & Thought Leadership
Health
Agriculture
ReligionGender champion
Aviation
International relations
Traditional institutions and rulers
Each category would have a sector champion that would assist in nominating at least 20 from whom the general committee would choose the 100 most powerful Nigerians of 2025.
Each entrant will have a two-page entry in the giant coffee table book that will be produced
One page would be an iconic Maddtimes caricature of the person , and the other page would be a humuor-filled profiling of the person by satirist Joseph Edgar, who will be editing the whole work.
Only 500 well-bound autographed Collectors copies would be published for very selective distribution
Soft copies would be placed on the Maddtimes website
The power compendium will be a powerful reference point for students of power and influence
Does this even make sense?
