The list, which shows 10 admired men and
10 admired women, features only 3 Nigerians on the list – Redeemed
Christian Church of God General Overseer Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Business mogul Aliko Dangote and Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking on how they arrived at the list YouGov states, ‘In
December YouGov gathered open-ended nominations from panellists across
34 countries, asking them simply: “Thinking about people alive in the
world today, which [man or woman] do you most admire?” These nominations
were then used to compile a list of the 25 men and 25 women who
received the most nominations and were nominated in at least 2
countries. An additional 5 popular local figures were added to the lists
for individual countries. In January, 23 of the 34 countries were
polled again in representative* surveys, where respondents were asked
two questions: “who do you truly admire?”, where they could make
multiple selections, and “who do you MOST admire?”, where they could
pick only one. These two numbers were then combined into the score
(displayed to the right of each name above.) By asking respondents those
two questions, we can understand both the breadth (i.e. global reach)
and the intensity of a person’s support, which we regard as both
important measures. Altogether, we polled in countries that constitute
nearly two-thirds of the world’s population. However, some parts of the
world were better represented than others, so we weighted up the impact
certain countries had on the final scores and weighted down others so
the global scores more accurately reflect the breakdown of sentiment in
the world overall.’
