When are we ever going to be the leaders of tommorrow when all this old blooded men and women will never leave the leadership seat for us? Or do they want to carry presidency to their graveyard? Aahh nigerians when are we ever going to stop being greedy and give way to our young generation?

Nigerian Democracy - Government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite. Minimum age of 60 required.

koret!!!
that is it.

@ Topic:

Nope, you have to be at least 50 to qualify

While I don't know if there is an age limit for running for president in Nigeria, or what that age is. I think it would really make a difference if we have a young president. Alll we have had in the past has not brought any tangible improvement. Its either Nigeria is being stagnant or going backward.

I'll really like for us to have a young president. But reality is "Do we really think thats going to happen"

According to this 'ere l'il document, the president must have attained 40 years of age. Which gives me some 14 years to be able to aspire to that exalted position. . .

wow,

then that answers our question about having a young president. Unless 40 is now considered young

In relative terms 40 is young. . .

40 can go either way. Some can see it as young while others as old. Nothwithstanding I was thinking young more in the sense of people that are either just out of school or have been out of school for a while without jobs. They would understand how important education is in Nigeria moving forward.

I think it will be wise to say that in other for Nigeria to really move forward we have to improve our education system. Because many of the people that study abroad will rather stay back where they are and work, rather than come back home and suffer.

So if most of the people that have got good education abroad don't come back, then who will help in the development of Nigeria.

They may understand somethings, but as Jack Gowon proved as Head of State from 1966 (29 years) to 1975 (38 years), they lack the maturity to handle the position.

Shame you did it all at 26,
I hope you come to terms with boredom,
All they that have made it young would agree -------Che

your right,

Well i guess it also has to do with the personality of the person in question.

DON'T MIND THESE OLD MEN THAT REFUSE TO RETIRE! THEY HAVE NO FUN AND THEY DON'T REALLY SEE THEIR GRANDCHILDREN. WHEN THEY DIE, THEY'LL REGRET. USELESS OLD MEN.


YOUNG PEOPLE PLEASE LEAD SO WE CAN STOP LIVING IN AN OLD SCHOOL COUNTRY!!!
WE CAN HAVE FUN FAIRS AND OTHER FUN THINGS SO WE DON'T DIE LIKE SADDOS

Way to go Kellorah

lol

WHO'S THE YOUNGEST CONTESTANT SEF?

kellorah:

WHO'S THE YOUNGEST CONTESTANT SEF?

I think its the almighty Pat Utomi , or is it Donald Duke??

Can't be so sure, but I think the pastor's younger than either of them. . .

chris okotie is the youngest

we can only have a young president if the general populace have a reorientation.personally i think donald duke will make a good presidant cos he has a lot of ideas and he actually carries them out.

Ever since primary school, I ve been singing "we are the leaders of tomorrow" now, am in a tetiary institution, am wondering when we would ever lead, Sad enough, Nigeria has been recycling used brains, unless the younger generation rise up to the task and sieze power, no one will give it to them until they are at least 65. But can we really call 40 young when life expectancy of Nigerians is 50years,

DOnald DUke is young and he's popular enough to win

how old is he?
if he's that good then, i'll pray for people to vote for him seeing as i can't!

a young prez, hoo hoo, that's looks n sounds very unlikely at this point in time

yes we can and we are going to?

how old/young is this youngest person ohhhh?? help,anyone?

Yes 35 to 40 if there are any candidates between that age, we need a new breed and generation of leaders.

old!

right from when i was a kid, i were made to understand we were the future leaders, at dis age am still tod am a future leader, now at wat age do these old folks expect us all to take up the leadership position which they ve been telling us for ages ? i simpliy belive leadership or presidential seat in nigeria is for the Generals, take a good look at the history of niga since the independence status, the same old generals have been ruling us over and over again, the piss me off the more, they are still brewing up more zeal to come back again,
