A 19-year-old final year student, Aisha Eniola, was recently voted overwhelmingly as the Councillor of Brent Council in London, UK.

Her brilliance during the debates which preceded the election warmed her into the hearts of residents of the ward.



Aisha polled 2,160 votes to be elected, defeating Simon Erskine, of the Green Party, who garnered 459 votes and Paul Fowler, of the Liberal Democrat, who polled 313.

Labour has continually held on to Harlesden, which remains one of their strongest wards in the Borough.

She is currently the youngest Councillor in Brent council and stated that she hoped to inspire youths to participate in politics.

Wow..... I should be the Senate President then

Change is really here to stay.....

that's good! The girl is making us proud. Obviously, our young brains have been representing us very well anywhere all around the globe. the problem is when you hear that one ABC son of DEF is caught with drugs in Malaysia

Ride on girl!

She's BAE. Beautiful and educated!!

Nigerians making waves round the world and yet some detractors will still come here and turn this into a tribal thing!

Why cant we just be happy for once that OUR OWN is achieving something positive that most cannot even aspire to.

This young Nigerian is an inspiration! Keep it up!!!


Secondly, the Nigerian constitution is not youth friendly! No 19 years old can ever become a common ward councillor in this current political dispensation. This is because the constitution has limits on age! These limits must be revisited. A 21 years old, I believe, is mature enough to lead, at least at the local level. We need progressive changes! Our youths must arise and demand to be allowed participation in active partisan politics by vying for positions!!!


Omonnakoda please take note! I know you will soon come and derail this thread with TRIBALISTIC INNUENDOS but GOD WIN!!!

Great

Then i can be PM in UK ....Labour party sef

Nigerians get brains.

Una dey see am? A black youth elected into a position of public responsibility in a european country. Meanwhile, in the most populous black country in the world, the president is a 75 year old and the average age of the members in his cabinet is 65 year years.



Somebody should tell me why Nigeria is not a useless country.?

Go Eniola!!
Make us proud!!
