    Born in Onalua, Katakokombe, Congo
    Founding member, Mouvement National Congolais (MNC)

Why he might be annoying:

    His first name sounds feminine.
    He worked in a post office.
    He spent a year in jail for embezzlement.
    His 1960 reign of power lasted just 3 months (June 24 to September 14).
    He was deposed by ruthless Colonel Joseph Mobutu in a CIA-backed coup.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He gained his nation's independence from Belgium.
    He was his country's first legally elected Prime Minister.
    He was killed by firing squad.
    A few days later, his corpse was dug up and dissolved in sulphuric acid.
    A few teeth and pieces of skull were his only remains, and those were kept as morbid souvenirs by his killers.
