That's not him in the first picture mbok

namiji2598:
where exactly ar u from??

GlorifiedTunde:


He had already expired about 20 years ago



Age had caught up on him a long time ago.

Africa likes keeping old relics in power.

Once you're over 65, you shouldn't be in public offices at all.

There's so much youthful energy needed to take African countries off their current states - an energy old men cannot provide.

noblealuu:
Age is really catching up real fast on him. African leaders should remember power is ephemeral, and you would only be remembered by what you've done.


Posterity will remember you either good or bad after leaving the seat of power.

mansakhalifa:



Not just youthful energy. A youth with a bad head filled with bad ideas is just as bad{if not worse than} as a 90 year-old geezer.

We've had several "youthful" leaders in Africa but what have they done differently from the old guys Not much. At a point there were guys in their 20s running some African countries but they were totally utterly useless. Jammeh of Gambia was in his 20s when he replaced Sir Dawda Jawara. How did that end up?


Don't get me wrong though. I am all up for youth, but the emphasis shouldn't be on youthfulness alone. Youthful energy with a "good head" filled with good ideas is what we ought to look out for. Nobody wants the negative sort of energy.

And what has that gotta do with anything?

Nothing much ,to be nonagenarian no be beans.. Moreover he just needs to shave the excess facial hairs,carve out the trademark furrow on his moustache and dye it black .. But African leaders too greedy sha. Sb pushing a hundred was still pushing to hang on to power

Grew up mostly in the south south and I served in Cross Rivers State during my NYSC days. I know it's Efik, I guess I'm just used to saying it even though I'm a Yoruba guy.



Are you from Cross River or Akwa Ibom?

GlorifiedTunde:


Like I said, emphasis is in "Youthful Energy".

There are men in their late 50s to early 60s that can provide that with wealth of intelligence and innovativeness.

9jaBloke:




He's 95

mansakhalifa:



50/60 "Youthful Energy"... OK. Edit: More like "Retiree Energy"

You are right in one aspect though. We could do with the intelligence and innovativeness{if there's any}. I'll take that.

But "youthful energy"... I pass.
