Paul Biya should top that list. Before becoming president, he had already served as Prime Minister for 7 years. Kilode?! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Biya Humourously though, their currency is stronger than ours today. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

I think it has more to do with actual performance. It’s not only Africa that we have longest serving presidents. But the main thing is that what did they achieved. —Russia president for almost 23 years. —Turkey president now serving for 20 years. —Singapore president serving for almost 20 years —Ireland president now serving 12 years —Chinese president now almost 11 years 172 Likes 9 Shares |

For me I don't have problem with the number of terms or longevity of a president, as long as he is offering good governance, even if he stays as a life time president, what is the benefit of changing president every 4 years and each successive president destroys the country further. Bring a good man that will offer good governance to Nigeria, if he like let him be Chinese, Indian or any tribe from Nigeria, I will give him my support 61 Likes 5 Shares |

anonymous1759: The monarchs in Africa are more autocratic than the monarches in Europe. Spain's king, for example, serves at the pleasure of the state...he doesn't even own the royal palace..it is owned by the state. The UK monarchs started stripping their powers from the mid 17th century...the PM has more power than the King. Japan's emperor was weakened by the USA after world war 2. African monarchs, and even Arab monarchs are more autocratic than European monarchs. The King of Eswathini has more power over government than the UK King. 125 Likes 5 Shares |

I never imagined that Nigeria will get to a point where we would wish we had a Military regime as government. Democracy isn't working for us in Nigeria. What we have are corrupt politicians without solution. They don't know anything as it concerns governance and what you don't have, you can't give. Since I was a child till this very moment, it has been same complaints and same set of corrupt fools parading themselves as messiah's but once they get power, it becomes obvious they came for selfish means. We need to re-evaluate the kind of governance we are practicing cos it's obvious Democracy isn't the way forward for Nigerians. I strongly advocate for a Military regime in Nigeria... 19 Likes 4 Shares |

The monarchs are not supposed to be in this list. Let African countries stop this unproductive copy-n-paste from the west and adopt a system that fits it's own peculiarities. Democracy, even in the US has its shortcomings, talk less of countries that are forced or manipulated into it. 2 Likes |
