According to TIME magazine, famous is famous, influential is influential. Whether good or bad, just be famous for whatever and you can be on the Time Magazine Top 100.
Oh well, Abubakar Shekau, the king of the terrorist group,
Boko Haram, also made the Time Magazine Top 100. Are
you shocked? Read what they wrote about him below;
“Most Americans do not yet recognize his name, but the
citizens of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, know
Abubakar Shekau all too well: he is the most violent killer
their country has ever seen. Shekau took over the terrorist
organization Boko Haram in 2009 after the group had been
weakened by Nigerian government forces. Shekau, who is
believed to be in his 30s, began to stage increasingly daring
kidnapping and killing raids on schools, churches and
mosques thought by Boko Haram to be violating their
interpretation of Islam.
The taking of over 200 schoolgirls in April 2014 brought Boko
Haram into the international spotlight. By most accounts,
Boko Haram has killed more than 10,000 people and is
spreading into neighboring countries. Shekau’s latest action
may finally summon a U.S. response: he has publicly aligned
his group with ISIS, the terrorist group that holds territory in
Syria and Iraq and has expanded its reach into Yemen and
Libya.”
