Ghanaian celebrities and icons have conspicuously been missing in Forbes Africa\u2019s latest list of \u2018100 Icons from Africa.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of Forbes Africa\u2019s magazine hundredth issue since its inception in 2011, it decided to curate a list celebrating incredible ideas, inventions, and influential role models that have spelt Africa\u2019s growth over the last decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The methodology used for the list included scouring the African continent, through extensive desktop research and phone and Zoom interviews, to determine those worthy for each component of this monumental list. This covered categories such as innovations, inventions, and icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The icons category captures African showbiz personalities who have made considerable impact and enthralled the world with their exemplary works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Majority of those who made the list are Nigerian and South African celebrities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among them were Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Omotola Ekeinde, Genevieve Nnaji, Funke Akindele-Bello, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Mr. Eazi, Nasty C, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Trevor Noah and a host of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Ghanaian showbiz personality made it to the list. But according to Forbes Africa, \u201cthere\u00a0are still countless other pioneering individuals and creations that have contributed to their industries in similar or more measurable ways, and they will no doubt continue to be featured in the pages of the issues to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
