Young people should go contest and win elections. Power/leadership is not a gift under democratic settings

Ronald Reagan was 69 when he was elected.
Clinton is in her 60s running for office
Bernie Sanders is 75
Trump is in his 60s too

It is not about the age.

Don't mind them. They want a 30 year old to be installed as President in Nigeria; not voted for. Bunch of know nothing kids.

Between, Trump is turning 70 in few months.

If the young wants to rule they will, What's with this fuss about age.

The age of a leader does not matter but his achievements. If Nigerians decide to vote for a young man because they believe in his ideas fine otherwise fine.
What did Nigeria achieve when the following young people ruled this country?
Gowon
Murtala
Shagari
Buhari
IBB
Abacha

So a 42 year old man is now the prime minister and head of government of one of the biggest economies in the world while some fraudsters with their change gimmicks has fooled Nigerians into electing a 70 year old ex military personnel to be their president.


I said the same thing about Estonian Prime Minister that's 34 year old compare to the politicians of Nigeria, and I was insulted. Kept my mouth zipped. Lets keep making fun of ourselves.

Our useless APC statesmen said that youths are not qualified for Ministerial appointments.

They should as S.A or P.A for now until they are almost as old as Buhari their political lord

The Youth are busy doing there thing in Entertainment industry. While d same old politicians are that have been ruling Nigeria since 1960 are busy preparing there lineage to take over from where they will stop.

It's time we youth of this Nation wake up and get more involved in politics.

xty2cool:
Age is not the issue for me but the brain inside the head. Old or Young the main thing is what you got to offer. For Buhari , the brain inside the head is not good enough for today's Nigeria. We need men with unusual approach to governance and vision. Buhari don't belong to that class and don't expect much from him.

Why don't you buy a nomination form for a 34-40 year old of your choice and fund his campaign to become president? Nobody can force any young man to contest. If you want to serve, go ahead and contest and not all this rubbish talk of "not giving younger ones a chance".

True, sometimes, age is inconsequential in electing leaders, but the reason we still have the likes of Mugabe, conde, yayi et al, is simply because we allow them. Black Africans have become too timid to challenge existing structures in their political climes either through their votes or revolutionary means. If the Arabs could instigate a revolutionary offspring, why can't we? If we try we may succeed but if we don't, we have failed. Egungun be kiavul.

In the picture below was Gen. Gowon in 1973 shaking hands with baby Trudeau, son to the then Prime minister of Canada Elliot Trudeau.

Fast forward to 2015, that baby is now voted as the Prime Minister of Canada..

Meanwhile a country close to Niger republic voted Gowon's former colleague and age mate..

Without Sentiment, Let discuss .



Without sentiments , all I can say is that you're a buffoon.
