Here's another man who screwed up a country: Russia's Putin. In power since 2000, insane amount of fraud, perpetuating corruption, no free speech, no rule of law, police state and pretty much any other state-level deficiency you can think of, and at a much bigger scale than you can imagine. As a result Russia's state is much closer to Nigeria than pretty much any EU country (no, I'm not pointing at Nigeria randomly, it's true) and the brightest people are fleeing the country as if it's a sinking ship (and, well, it is).
