Can anyone tell me the relationship that exist between a person's age and his or her ability to lead well?
Is been youthful the most important leadership trait? how is it in Nigeria we are clamoring for youths to come take leadership positions when they have not presented themselves to receive political tutelage from the so called aging generations.

How many educated youths are members of political parties, and active at the ward, local, state and federal levels?

I am 41years old, am actively involved in politics in Oyo state, u will be amazed at the number of youths that are educated who actively participate in politics. very few. Am sure the same applies through out the country.

In my opinion the Nigerian youth is not ready for leadership positions, though they have excelled in other areas of human endeavor, however not in politics,

Political leadership is learnt, what you are thought in school is different from what obtains outside of campus. We need to understudy some of these leaders we are abusing at the moment. So we can earn their trust and commitment.

That's when power can be easily transferred from one generation to another. Nobody will just thrust leadership at you just because you are young, that u are a success in the banking, oil and gas or any field for that matter doesn't mean u will succeed in politics.

So my advise to all youth is to be actively involved in political activities. Under honest leaders. It is not the aged politicians that are preventing the youth, its the youth that is not ready.
