Presenting... the Gallery of "Current" African Heads of State (followed by the year they were last actually a head of state):

Ahmed Nazif (2003)
Funkpie (0 pts)

Charles Taylor (2003)
Venusian (0 pts)

Nelson Mandela (1999)
Nick Danger, Numanoid, Thor (3 pts)

In his defense, at least Numanoid said, "I know he isn't, but I bet most think of him first".

It feels good to be near the top of the leaderboard...

Spoiler:
until question 11, where I will get crushed and drop about ten spots.
