Only four years younger than Shehu Shagari when the latter was elected Nigeria’s president...
Competence has no nexus with age. Gowon was 32 and IBB was 44 (albeit both were military presidents).

The narratives still remains that the lady raised a point!

Old Ke? This one na ancestors' club


quote author=LegendHero post=83381421]

You should also add the foremost presidential aspirants under the Democratic party:
Bernie Sanders - 78 years
Joe Biden - 76 years
Elizabeth Warren - 70 years

If not hypocrisy, ain't these guys also old men/women club?[/quote]

Nigerians didn't even read,they think she meant "old men " literally. This is why Africa will always be backward.

Neddstark:


What she said is true, but you have a strong point. She should have looked at her country first before spewing

Look how trump moves, the energy he speaks with, those guys actually use their real age not falsifying ages of our politicians, buhari moving like a man of 90yrs speaking like a man of 120

Told dem...lmao

*Although, it’s true and we should be turning to a new generation of politicians...
But not just younger (we don’t want the Yahoo Yahoo crowd), but SMARTER and INTEGROUS!

Nonetheless, emotive discourse like hers misses a more crucial point...
I would rather elect the likes of Wole Soyinka than Mompha or Hushpuppi!

The saying that “age ain’t but a number” works BOTH ways...
We should be looking for capable/competent leaders not younger THIEVES!

YOUNG is relative! But these old rogues in Nigeria’s political cycle has not done the country any good!

You can attest to this. We keep going from point A——-B, then from point B——-A. Nothing has changed! Same old criminals, same old tricks

I don’t care about age...
Give me COMPETENT leadership.

A clueless Yahaya Bello is running Kogi back into the 18th century...
While our youngest Senator is assaulting young women in sex shops. SMH

The country is cursed with bad leaders! Maybe because of the ethnic differences? Maybe because of the bad political landscape culled from the fraudulent constitution?

Maybe Nigeria shouldn’t have been almagamated? So far, I think Nigeria is not built in a sincere foundation and it’s pillars are shaking ready to give way for total destruction? Time will answer these questions

It All depends on the track/Path you decide to take.


Graphics design/UX/UI?
Data Analysis/Engineer ing?
Web Development?
Data Science/ Machine Learning?
Database Administration?
Game Development?

All these are paths (that sometimes overlap).

The more focused(path specific) you are, the more effective your learning would be.

Some good resources include;
Youtube- Derek banas, freecodecamp etc.
Udemy.com
Linkedin learning.com
Cognitiveclass.ai
Tutorialspoint
Etc.

Follow blogs(Google) for areas you need specific understanding while going through your path.

Learn like you'll be examined alone(know enough about your path).

Cheers.

The truth is bitter! Nigeria recycling old rogues in a constant sequence!

We have only 2 “recycled” presidents...
On the average, Nigeria’s heads of state have been considerably YOUNGER than US presidents.

Sans the two “re-cycled” presidents, who are effectively OUTLIERS...
Elected NIGERIAN presidents Shagari, Yar’Adua and Jonathan were in their 50s.
>

SamuelAnyawu:
The US politics is also an old men's club. The difference is that your politicians love your country, but ours is to loot for 5th Generation

No. I think US old men and women are far smarter than Nigeria's.

For example, can Buhari challenge Joe Biden to a debate?

Or Atiku Abubakar with Elizabeth Waren?

Those will be the joke of the century.

My brother no problem, enjoy ur country.....

Have always said it, no !matter how bad our country !look, no matter how poor our leader looks.

It is still dream for some people..... Those who know they want and need better than Nigeria is offering can look for it some where else.

I don't argue Nigeria issue with people anymore.

read the damn article. She never mean old literally, it's an idiomatic expression.

Like a deal between mature people. Africans are really backward

The old people are in minority compared to ours that are in majority. They are also not rogues, clueless or ex-cons who shud rather be in jail cooling off their heels.

Irrelevant obfuscation...
What does my opinion of how Trump walks or talks have to do with the state of Nigeria?!

It’s frankly obtuse to leap to the insane conclusion that criticizing Trump and Nigeria are mutually-exclusive. SMH

When I mean recycled, I mean that obansanjo since his military days still dictates who becomes president and all. It’s still the same class of 79’ that run things!

Obasanjo left power 79’ and has been active ever since till date.

Don't compare the two. Those old men have got an easy job to do. They are working on an efficient existing structure which we lack.

Am not excusing you not having a laptop... hell no, but with SoloLearn App you get a coding sandbox and a coding note pad, with a compiler all on your phone , best part is you have lots of people in its forum doing class assignments trogether and interacting with asians and indians all from your smart phone

Like i said am not excusing a laptop, just giving you realistic ways of learning with your phone at anytime and in a better form

I will ignore the childish insult on Africans...smh

Not just because insults are a sad self-indictment of one’s intellect and character...
But because as an African you could just be referring to yourself, and who am I to argue with what you think of yourself.

Meanwhile, on the SUBSTANCE of the matter at hand...
“Nigerian politics is like an old men’s club” is what is known as PLAIN ENGLISH.

It neither an idiomatic expression nor even a metaphor...
As Abami Eda would say “Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense” - and that’s not idiomatic either!

Painfully the youths will attack him ... I mean Shady and Unreliable youths.

Olosho and Drug pedling youths wont also notice the part that says Presidency is coming south due to a gentle mans agreement

they are cursed never to rule this country


The Irony of life is 99.9999% of the youths commenting dont understand her words..

She said "Nigeria Politics" is an Old men club where gentlemans agreement of rotation must be followed

The old men club only adjectifies the Gentle mens Agreement.. as in the 18thcentury where "Old Men Club" or fraternity lodge, freemasions and ogbonis are noted for thier gentle mans agreement and sealing deal with handshake

But the youths are never sensible.

They prefer to fight on Instagram about whether Mercy wore a similar dress as Tacha.

Sowore is still in detention, yet no youth talks about him.

No. I think US old men and women are far smarter than Nigeria's.

For example, can Buhari challenge Joe Biden to a debate?

Or Atiku Abubakar with Elizabeth Waren?

Those will be the joke of the century.

Exactly! Warren or Biden (who keeps sticking his foot into his mouth) discussing the intricacies of the Niger Delta, the diversity of 200-plus ethnicities, the badges and incidents of colonialism, etc., will be a riot and likely the “joke of the century”!

Folks should quit comparing apples with oranges. The politics of the US is necessarily different from the developmental politics of Nigeria, but OLD people are still OLD people - as Senator Sanders’ recent heart-attack on the campaign trail aptly demonstrated.
