On a honest note, it's not even funny anymore. Can't these folks even retire and take a rest. How can they hold our country to ransom and virtually mop up all our resources. I wonder how greedy and possessive our leaders are. It's rather becoming very appalling, distasteful, repugnant, demoralising, disgusting, pitiful , nasty and demoralising. Can't they just leave the political space. They have sold and bought Nigeria. Shame |

ghostfinger67:Where are the many more? You can't sit down at the comfort of your home and expect to be appointed, is either you join a political party actively or you will be sidelined, Garba Sheu & Adesina are reaping the fruits of their labour, the era of appointing someone from Harvard university is over, join a political party and stop complaining. |

While I strongly commend and recommend the presence of youths in the corridors of power(political leadership) and public administration, I would strongly assert that the present crop of Nigerian youths are far from the wanted or desirable crop or stock to assume the mantle of leadership or sensitive positions in this country. One need not strain the eyes to know this fact. Take for instance, the prevalent blunder in the use of simple English, among us; Gosh!!!!!! Its terrible and it has become so damned entrenched with the "nobody is perfect" state of mind, which has put us far from the basic requirement of standard communication; use of simple and correct English language. Then spotlight issues of tribalism and religious sentiment among us; a bloody canker worm that we have continued to feed with our pitiable, parochial concept of leadership. Finally, our Student Union Government in the various universities, which is a unit of National leadership has turned itself a conduit pipe of self-aggrandisement, to cheat the students who voted them into their respective offices, to represent their collective and progressive interests. Even the so-called human rights/transparency activists are nothing but a crass clones and masquerades of corruption and attention mongers, seeking avenues to join the band wagon of political marauders. Chai!!!!! My hand and head don dey pain me!! The long and short of it is that we (yes I wouldn't exonerate myself) are far from the engine room of leadership, which would continue to elude us, until we decide to look beyond the circumference of our stomach. 1 Like |

moscobabs: Well.... 1.The US election for 2016 has a lot of old people. On the Republican side, you have Trump who is 69, and Carson who is 63. On the Democrat side...Hilary Clinton is 69, Sanders is 74. 2.In the UK you have Cameron and co who are in their 40's (Theresa May , who is one of Cameron's potential sucessors is in her 50's). 3.Russia has Putin who is in his 60's.....and who is still going strong. I guess the trobule with Africa is not age per se....rather it is our resource dependent economies.....which stifle development by encouraging us to import rather than become manufacturing economies 1 Like |

kissangel1: You might as well tell Hilary Clinton, who is 69 and who is going to be the possible Democrat nominee for the 2016 election to step aside for the young. (Incidentally, most of her fellow contestants are in the same age range. You have to go to the Republican side to find guys in their 50's and 40's running for 2016). |

Nigeria is in terms of political games played by politicians is moving forward, but in terms of putting her citizens first is moving backward. Nigeria is lacking in infrastructure and basic amenities. Oppression now the order of the day. The Old don't want to retire and let the younger one show case their talent. |

DEM SAY NIGERIA GO BETTER ONE DAY! WE DON TIRE TO HEAR AM! MAKE DEM FIX ONE PARTICULAR DAY, SO THAT IF HE NO BETTER, WE GO KNOW WETIN TO DO! The problem is a Nigerian problem and not a Buhari's problem. The issue is as a result of a cumulative negative effect of one institution leading to the decay of others. If the apex of decision making (politics) grooms our youths to be what they are suppose to be, they will. The problem is from the central decision making that has affected every other part to the last. IN SUMMARY, CORRUPTION IS THE WAHALA..... 1 Like |
