Thats lovely its a well deserved honour. they all work for it. point of correction idris elbas dad is from sierrelone while his mum is a ghananian but he is a british citizen so he is better refered as a british born American actor.

His mother is from Ghana and did clerical work. Idris went to school in Canning Town, where he first became involved in acting. He gained a place in the National Youth Music ....lolssssssssssssss so linda try get ur facts right, h

If actors, musicians and comedians make up the most influential people in Africa, then Africa has no hope. The west will never cease to make mockery of Africa. And shame on you if you glorifying this trend

And if we all have to depend on the west and foreign bodies such as forbes to tell us who is/are influential in our society, then we are a miserable lot. This my submission...

If you say don jazzy I agree cause his impact is seen,if you say p square I alse agree based on their impact lately,but omotola??I wonder what is happening what about great women like our finance minister(ngozi okonjo iweala) that meet with the high and mighty to talk about matters affecting the world power and us,niways just saying sha,does omotola have any career aside movies?and when last did she act or sing??since she is a cum musician?

There are only two reasons why people love hating on others...simple...you wish you were them(their life/in their shoes)..OR..you just envy what they have..get a life...be yourself and bag awards for yourselves with what you can do!!!make a positive impact don't just take the back seat and throw negative comments..be relevant in your community...don jazzy and omotola congrats!!!!

Battered married women keep telling Genevieve to get a man.what can a man do for her that she can't do herself?
Lol bad Belle go kill your bittet women

A list that Genevieve was already on two years ago? Keep hating on things you can never afford. When these American celebrities you worship wear all their expensive designer wear, do you African slaves ever complain? Typical black man, always finding faults with their own.
