In 1984 when Gen Buhari was our head of state, our teachers told us we are the leaders of tommorow, Now in 2010, Gen Buhari is contesting to be the president, is it that our teachers lied to us or what?

In 1988 when IBB was our head of state, our teachers told us never to worry that we are still the leaders of tommorow, Now in 2010, IBB is contesting to be the president again, is it that our teachers are perpetual liers or what?

I am Confused: Did Our Teachers Lied ? Or Could it be that our Leaders are the Liers ?

I feel our Teachers Lied, What do you think ?

Two generations of leaders have been lost

you, also lost with them?

dappssee:

Two generations of leaders have been lost

@OP

SHEAU:

You're lost. I'm still gonna rule this nation

@OP, Your subject is amusing. Reads - Did Our Teachers Lied Or Ibb/buhari ?

With your command of English, your teacher couldn't have been truthful

hehe. . i was going to point tht out, but then tot, hey!, who gives a shít?. . did our teachers really[b] lied[/b]

@dappssee,  well! no offence but is English your mother tongue ?,  This is not grammar section, It's Politics section. All i am trying to do is to pass a message across and a reasonable reader without English proficiency will perfectly understand my message, Sorry! You must be one of those English Teachers that Lied to Us, 


@Violent, Thank you bro, I dont know if we are here to discuss grammar or the topic above, lol!

^^ Dont let ignorance rule you brother. Just accept the correction and learn from it.

@Omo Fat, there are better ways to correct people, i think u also need to understand that it's about the message and not the grammar,

ceah:

No vex. Just kidding.

No doubt it is about the message. But the grammar too is important. That's why people go to school to learn things like classical rhetorics, etc.

Anyway, you're right. The message is clear;

Our teachers did not lie to us. They didn't have a clue what they were talking about.

Our father's (IBB/Buhari's) generation failed us. Most of them would pass on in ignominy, unsung and unheralded.

Sadly, we too have failed ourselves by not rising up above their stench. But all is not yet lost.

The important thing now is to figure out how to act so that we also do not fail our children's and yet-to-be-born generations.

In Twitter style, Gbagaun!

no, your teachers did not lie because everybody cant fit into the presidential villa. Only a select number of people can.

if however you want to consider the possibility that there are other offices and ways to lead besides the presidency, then you might be on your way to making your teachers' prophecy come true.

May your days be long, May you walk and never stumble, You reason like a man from solomon clan. Really appreciate that contribution. I hope our actions will not be in vein as these people are hell bent on making it worse.

i am not saying i want to be the president , do you read for reading sake or you read to understand ?
Dont you think other people especially the youths deserve to rule,
dont be surprise that these people will be ruling at the age of 100 when your grandchildren are supposed to be ruling,
You must be either IBB or Buhari to be in support of rotational leadership,

Our teachers also taught us that it's good to recycle so that's why we've just been recycling our Leaders.

Maybe these old heads are tampered with caution and experience.

Bro, are they the only one with the needed experience ?

I just thought about it, we dont really have tomorrow in nigeria, so how dare we ask to be leaders,

Me thinks the teachers taught us more about qualities of a leader and good leadership.My view is they never said what date,age or generation will give results.They only said look for quality in leadership and be prepared for leadership by developing the good qualities to lead,If called upon.meaning every NIgerian is a potential change and developer of a progressive Nigeria.But PDP just upgraded leadership qualities.eg he who sits on the seat is the best until his or her tenure is impossible to extend,regardless of he or she leadership qualities.2) what ever you do in the senate if you belong to the ruling PDP,it is okay.simply don't decamp or f**k with the party.3)messing and screwing the people is okay.4)All Nigerians hardly know what is good for them, except by the ultimate guide of PDP. etc
