The Constitution puts the lower age limit at 40yrs for thos wishing to contest the post of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (See Section 131, b) but the Constituition throws the door wide open for every senile fool like Buhari.

Why should we be governed by some one who will not see the future?

Buhari is so old that he thinks there is still such a thing as West Germany.

I think it is time we get the National Assembly to cap the upper age limit to 60yrs for contestants. That is, you can not be older than 60yrs at the time of contesting an election. This will then mean that anybody who contests at 60yrs and wins is not eligible to run for a second time.

Too many old fools ruining this country since 1960!

Have you guys ever wondered why African culture is static and still existing in the flint age?

Well the reason has to do with the fact that Africans never developed any form of writing so this made the custodians of knowledge in every African society to be the oldest members since they were the custodians of knowledge merely by the fact that they were older.

Now one thing that is unique about old people the world over is their nostalgic disposition which leads to them being the most staunch advocates against any form of change from what they were used to in their youth.

This is why African culture never thrived because those who held the knowledge and authority of society abhorred any form of positive change.

Unlike in the west were innovative ideas which come from the younger and more active members of society is promoted.

About 15yrs ago when I just got employed in my current place of work, every proposition to computerize our archiving system was staunchly opposed by our then Superiors who have since retired. The reason these old dudes refused to modernize operations was because they had no single computer skills and they saw a modernized computer environment as a danger to their significance since we young ones back then still went back and forth to them to clarify which entry was to go where. There was no operational manual and so we still needed the old ding bats to clarify issues which when we meet them for they will kick back on their chairs and lecture you on how they bought their first lease from John Holt.

OP instead of imposing age limit on the contestants, why not impose age limits on the voters. Nigeria will be better served if many of these Facebook and Twitter generation wait till their 30s to vote.

What about the legions of almajiri delinquents that voted the dullard?

I think the best thing is to limit the age of contestants and avoid senility in high places.

The almajiris you and I can forgive. But the ones their parents invested millions to train, yet they thumb printed for a no primary six certificate fraudster, now that's beyond understanding.

Seriously we suddenly developed love for a senile old dullard who couldn't even produce his SSCE. I pity for the future of this country. I mean how on earth did we accept this old man to be sold to us by the sophisticated tribe and their slave master. I complained bitterly in my work place but the place is dominated by the sophisticated tribe.
