So PDP did not engage in monumental fraud.

well, as well as the judgement is based on constitutional provision of 30years minimum, its okay. but the question begging for answer is,
When will a vibrant youth of less than 30years ever get to lead in this nation?
when we start saying no to dis kind of constitution.....useless laws for only d old

This is bad for national development, the youths are held down, even by law, and its the reason the system keeps churning out overages, recycled products. An irony is it that those who were privy to this constitutional term and standard were themselves underaged when they held notable positions in authority. Secondary school taught us that at the year 18, you're liable to vote and be voted for'

this country is full of shit, that stupid seun fela dey spew rubbish on buhari list and people casting stones left right and centre, but now the law made by your foolish anti youth lawmakers that will not allow someone below 30years to represent even his people at the state level is a total shame. This is where youths should have one voice. Am really sad. seun fela this is where we need your voice. This is a grass root matter that needs your attention not buharisz list
Truth is dat a man less than 30 years old is too young to be a federal law maker. He can start out as a councillor or state law maker. 30 - 50 years seems very appropriate me.

2015-1999 = 16 years. All the Presidents throughout this tenour were from PDP, backed up with majority in both the upper and lower chambers: tell me what stops PDP from ameliorating this archaic law which requires simple majority.

Constitutional amendments have been carried out by successive dispensations of the National Assembly, and a few critical issues have been addressed over the years. A complete overhaul of the constitution is very difficult to achieve. That was part of what the last confab hoped to achieve but APC turned it down for political reasons, and Buhari has already discarded their report.
To me, there is nothing wrong with 30 years age limit to contest a seat in the NA. The rep in question can come back in 2019. I'm sure he will be up to 30 by then.

Reduction of constitutional age has nothing to do with Confab's recommendation, only simple majority is needed which could have been easily done if PDP wishes to.

The issue you're raising bothers on constitutional amendment, and constitutional amendments are carried out by the NA and the 36 States Assemblies. It's not as simple as you make it. Also, lawmakers don't just pick a little aspect of the constitution and talk about amendment. They look at a bigger picture because of the stress and difficulty of the amendment.
I repeat, there is no need reducing age at election of federal lawmakers. 30 is very appropriate, and even as a young guy, I won't advocate for that.

So, which party dominates the states Assemblies throughout the period under review? However, States Assemblies have nothing to do with this issue if it was enacted.

Get your fact right.

Guy what's your own? The constitution stipulates that to contest a position in the National Assembly, one must have attained minimum age of 30 years among other things. To alter it would require constitutional amendment which can only be made by the National Assembly and the 36 States Assemblies.
As long as the constitution has spelt out the age requirement, it has to be changed in the constitution before anybody younger than 30 can contest and not be removed through the courts.
I still maintain that there is no need for amending that age requirement. Whoever is less than 30 and is so interested in governance should go and contest for councillor in his local constituency or contest in his state assembly.

You are just reiterating needless point. Who is saying the constitution does not need to be changed before anybody younger than 30 could contest?

The point is that this provision is archaic and needs to be amended. This was how it has been even in the constitution that preceded 1999 constitution and PDP failed to ameliorate this.

In this millennium, younger men and women are becoming professor even at lesser age as compared to 30 you are reiterating here: why are you so naïve in your approach on this issue?

You need change, honestly.

Check the last paragraph of my last post. There is nothing archaic in that provision.
Serving as a federal legislator is not the only way to display leadership as a young person.
And talking about young people becoming professors at younger ages as compared to 30, please kindly give me the names of Nigerian professors you know who are below 30 years.

So you don't know the difference between getting a PhD and becoming a professor?

It is either you are physically blind or otherwise.

I think your reasoning is impaired, honestly.
I asked you for Nigerians who became professors at less than 30, and you sent me links littered with young PhD graduates. The only person there that has something to do with Nigeria, who became a professor at less than 30 is even a Nigerian-American, and had all her education in the US. What has she got to do with the question I asked you? And you had the audacity and effrontery to call me blind. Are you okay in any way?
Give me the name of any academician who obtained professorship in Nigeria at less than 30. If you can't, then do me a favour, GERRARRAHIA.
