His argument wouldn't have been necessary if our elders were not so petty. Why should 70 year olds stoke the flames of ethnoncentrism? As bad as our elders are, I believe there is a good reason for that age limit.

He cites Gowon but hope he realizes that Gowon and Ojukwu were in their early thirties when they decided to go to war. Our passion (as young people) for what we perceive as justice is hot and quite rigid. The age limit seeks to prevent this.

Deep down, I am very happy that we are about to be truly empowered, but let us not forget that the crop of young people in politics today is anything but liberal.

It's time for all sensible social commentators to flood these parties and effect the change we seek. Let's overwhelm them. The oldies won't give us a chance if we don't demand it.

For me GEJ saying abolishing age limit its just way of cajoling the youths of this country just because he knows he has already failed the youths of this country. Can anybody tell me what the youths of this country have gained from GEJ administration, all the previous problems facing the youths of this country are still on the high rate level so for me am not overwhelmed about such statement made from GEJ because his using it as tactics to deceives the youths ahead of 2015 election and lastly for me its only a clownish and moronism youths will vote for GEJ in 2015 election I rest my case

Measure his words against his actions and you would appreciate that he's all farts and no shi.t. How many youths has he given appointments or elevated in government? Instead he recycles the likes of Ayim Pius Ayim, Adedibu and co.

PerfectFortune: And what difference will it make?

The so called Nigerian youth that cldt seperate good governance from good looting (stomach infrastucture), the ones that cldt make constructive/objective argument without being biased along ethnic and religious lines (extreme bigotry), the ones that allow themselves to used as tools of destruction, hate and division by the professional treasury looters, the ones that kill a petty thief for stealing a #50.00 note but praise "the political class" for stealing their future and robbing it in their face or the ones whose right have been denied for a very long time (lack of quality education and impoverished economy) thereby making them to accept anomalies as norms?

The Nigerian youths are rescilient, hard-working, innovative, resourceful and skillful but they are not prepared to take up the challenge.

In as much as the facts you stated are completely correct and crystal clear,I have to say first that there are youths that would step in there and perform so well..We shouldn't condemn the youths outrightly but give the very good ones a chance to prove themselves and I believe that was what the president had in mind when he brought that idea forward,remember that he has seen and worked with all shades of people....

That's a great comment from you. Am really impressed. Have always said the youths should take the bull by the horn like Malcolm X said ( by all means necessary ). Their future is at stake. Massive revolution is needed to cleanse Nigeria of all the maggots that have been feeding on Nigeria since independence.

40-year age limit for anyone aspiring to be the president of a country is OK. Below that age will not be good for our democracy. Not many less-than-forty year olds are matured enough to lead their household let alone govern a whole country.

Even at the current 40-year old limit, have we produced a president of 40 to 50 years bracket?

Yeye dey smell.
