The world's richest man and Microsoft chairman Bill Gates is the most admired person in the
world, followed by US President Barack Obama, Russian President
Vladimir Putin, Pope Francis and Indian cricket player Sachin Tendulkar, the London Times reports, citing a poll.
Gates scored highly in each of the 12 countries where
YouGov conducted polling and was the most popular in China. Putin’s popularity among Russians helped him secure
third place on the list, the newspaper reported.
YouGov surveyed 14,000 people in the U.K., France, Germany,
Russia, the U.S., Australia, Pakistan, Indonesia, India, China,
Egypt, Nigeria and Brazil in the poll conducted for the Times,
according to the newspaper.
All these drama with our politicians, leaders and political parties is
becoming quite silly. They all just seem so confused. One of the
founding members of the ruling party and former Nigerian president,
Olusegun Obasanjo has sent a letter to the National Chairman of PDP,
Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur, where he gave a notice of his withdrawal from activities
of the party.
In the letter, Obasanjo said although he is still a card carrying member
of the party, he will withdraw his activities with PDP at local, state,
zonal and national level until a person he describes as a criminal
wanted abroad to face criminal charges is removed as the party's South
West zonal leader.
Obasanjo proceeded to add that he was forwarding
with the letter, “recent documents” on the alleged activities of the
person. The letter, dated January 7th, was obtained by Tribune.
Ziona Chana is the head of the world's biggest family - and says he is 'blessed' to have his 39 wives.
Ziona Chana also has 94 children, 14-daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren.
They live in a 100-room, four storey house set amidst the hills of
Baktwang village in the Indian state of Mizoram, where the wives sleep
in giant communal dormitories.
Mr Chana said: "Today I feel like God's special child. He's given me so many people to look after.
I consider myself a lucky man to be the husband of 39 women and head of the world's largest family."
The family is organised with almost military discipline, with the
oldest wife Zathiangi organising her fellow partners to perform
household chores such as cleaning, washing and preparing meals.
You treat this place like a hotel:
With 100 rooms, the Ziona mansion is the biggest concrete structure in
the hilly village of Baktawng in Mizoram, India
One evening meal can see them pluck 30 chickens, peel 132lb of potatoes and boil up to 220lb of rice.
Coincidentally, Mr Chana is also head of a sect that allows members to take as many wives as he wants.
He even married ten women in one year, when he was at his most
prolific, and enjoys his own double bed while his wives have to make do
with communal dormitories.
He keeps the youngest women near to his bedroom with the older members
of the family sleeping further away - and there is a rotation system
for who visits Mr Chana's bedroom.

Rinkmini, one of Mr Chana's wives who is 35 years old, said: "We stay around him as he is the most important person in the house."
He is the most handsome person in the village. She says Mr Chana
noticed her on a morning walk in the village 18 years ago and wrote her
a letter asking for her hand in marriage.
Another of his wives, Huntharnghanki, said the entire family gets along well.
The family system is reportedly based on mutual love and respect.

And Mr Chana, whose religious sect has 4,00 members, says he has not stopped looking for new wives.
"To expand my sect, I am willing to go even to the U.S. to marry," he said.
One of his sons insisted that Mr Chana, whose grandfather also had many
wives, marries the poor women from the village so he can look after
them.
