Behold The 31 Year Old Chancellor Of Austria!! by Axelrod(m): 9:01am On Oct 22, 2017 |
Behold The 31 Year Old Chancellor Of Austria!! Austria has made history by electing the world's youngest leader who is 31 years old, Sebastian Kurz. Before the election, he was the country's foreign minister. He became minister for integration at age 24; three years later, at age 27, he was named foreign minister. He was introduced on the international stage at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in 2014. He took the podium that year, at age 28 at the time, and relished in both his age and the improbability of his position. “I believe I’m the only person under the age of 30 who has the privilege of speaking this week,” he told the UNGA, to a round of applause. The bar has been raised in Austria that elected a 31 year old man as its leader. You will recall that France just recently elected a 39year old Emmanuel Macron as President. Should we expect such a change in Nigeria come 2019? Only time will tell. Mynd44, Lalasticlala, Seun this is front page worthy, kindly do the needful please. https://qz.com/1102887/sebastian-kurz-the-new-chancellor-of-austria-will-be-europes-youngest-leader-at-31-years-old/ 1 Like

I think culture has, to some extent, played a pivotal role in this political apathy by the African Youths. We were trained never to argue with our elders. And were made to believe elders are infallible; they don't lie, all their actions, whether wrong or right are right, they know what is best and do same always. Much as these fallacies are not entirely responsible for us not ''dragging'' power with the ''elders'', I still fell they contribute to it. Imagine a 30year Yoruba youth looking Otumba Gbenga Daniel or Olusegun Mimiko in the face and challenge them, he will be instantly labelled ''disrespectful. And it will form the basis for his campaign. 1 Like |

Nigerians say they want to have mercy on Atiku and let him taste the presidency before he becomes too old to run. I think one woman is cooking our national destiny in an Indian Pot. |

Far better than defending Baba corruption. Going slowly and steady is far better than not going at all. Axelrod: |

OfficialAwol: Funny. See our responses! Instead of being motivated, we resort to believing that someone is actually responsible for our political apathy! |

madridguy:In your definition of ''going slowly and steadily'' the current administration is inline I guess! Anyway, I know your (BMC's) tricks, you want to derail the topic of discussion. But Sir, steer clear! |

madridguy:No vex bros! But may I ask you Sir; what is your honest stance about the issue of a youthful President in Nigeria, say, 2019? Will you support a youth against President Muhammadu Buhari if you find a credible one? |
Re: Behold The 31 Year Old Chancellor Of Austria!! by madridguy(m): 9:26am On Oct 22, 2017 |
Insha Allah I will support any independent candidate not above 45 years old, not a stooge to any political godfather, not from PDP or APC in 2019. We need fresh blood and new faces that will move us forward. Axelrod: 1 Like |

Wow nice! Our leaders are ever ready to clinch to power for the next 30 years. Either they are active politically or passive(doing underground work for any candidate of their choice). The truth is, even if we let youths take top positions in government there would be an old bully trying to make the individual do his bidding. |
