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.
Then compare their depth and analytical mindset with leaders like GMB.. GMB didn't know West Germany stopped existing in 1990s; doesn't understand what inclusivity means. Naija is toast!!

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.
What can you wailers do now? Abeg u re just wailing 4 nothing but high blood pressure dat cud kill you.

He made a mistake, Google US presidents gaffes and you will see that they have made similar gaffes. It happens. US politicians make gaffes regularly.

Did Joe Biden not call Africa, a country? That is the US VP.

Pray tell, what deep analytical mindset does George Bush have or Donald trump? Then we have also had people like Hermain Cain and Palin run for office? What analytical brain do they have?

Even Ben Carson is politically very naive.

A man who could not campaign for long and had to go to London "to rest" according to his wife. A man who confessed he cannot perform at 72.
Why would anyone wish to have his brain and bones function like that at 72

What was his father's contributions to his success?
Do you know that he won from an opposition party and wasn't even a favourite prior to the polls.
But he succeeded in communicating his ideas and was voted in by the masses.
The case is Nigeria is where we complain our leaders have failed us and still vote the same set of people into power.
It is only a fool that does the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.
Our fathers has failed us woefuly, we should try out another section of our society in leadership.

The situation in Nigeria is not the same so we should not expect similar results. The masses lack economic and military power. The political elite control the sources of wealth (mineral exploitation and export) and coercive power of the state. THEY form and control the political parties. Is it not who is fielded by the parties that are voted for? Besides voting is widely influenced by bribery, intimidation, violence, and even outright rigging.

Until the masses achieve a level of economic independence and are politically empowered (radicalized, if you will) they will laƧk the force to project their will on the elite.

When something is done by Nigeria, we complain, when it is done by the Western world, we applaud them. Was Reagan not a month less 70 when he became the POTUS? Will Clinton not be almost 70 if she gets elected to the office of the POTUS too? Trudeau is a son of an ex-PM, George Bush a son of a former President etc, if that is done in Nigeria, people will complain they've turn it into a dynasty. The vice president of the US doubles as the Senate president (constitutionally), if such happens in Nigeria, we say, "Chai, the people wey right the Constitution wan finish the money, na only them dey". Nawa o. Make una appreciate naija. Na awa land!

Saying West Germany or mistaking Chancellor Angela Merkel for President Angelina Merkel is pure display of incompetence.. How could u forget ur visitor's name??
How difficult is "inclusive" to be interpreted for bush and Trump?? Americans aren't that dumb!!

It is not smart either to call Africa a country but the US vice president did.

It happens.

Buhari's finished from the prestigious US war college alongside names like Dwight D. Eisenhower and Colin Powell. He is not dumb.

Unfortunately, Nigerians love to put Americans on some kind of pedestal. I live in America and I see how shallow some of their politicians are. It is not perfect anywhere. Not even close.

Comparing likes of Colin Powel and Eisenhower with GMB is pure insult to the Anerica's finest.
No US VP has called Africa a country, but Sarah Palin, a VP candidate was alleged to have thought that way during election.
GMB was extended an invitation by German govt, treated and hosted by German Chancellor and he forgot the names of the host country and chancellor.. This is crass incompetence and irresponsiblity. Pls don't spin this for me!! It's like not remembering the name of ur best friend and address of his home after he had hosted a lavish party for u!!
