These names are generating a lot of controversies because a lot of people are wondering if some of the pastors and individual who made this list can, then others deserve to be on the list as well..what happened to Olukoya of Mountain of Fire,TB Joshua ,Chris Oyahkilome and others that you can think of? NO notable Islamic Leader even make the list. As at this morning, it was in the news that pastor Adeboye was leading the poll with some 48. percent of total vote cast. Is this not a pure reflection of emotional attachment based on the fact that RCCG actually boast of the largest congregation in the country? Is it that an Islamic leader cannot be a legend?
What can they achieve with this poll? Who actually is a legend? Would it not be better if it was categorized into groups like SPORT, RELIGION,MUSIC,POLITICS e.t.c.? Is this just another ruse to rip people off their hard-earned money?
