Bro, I am learning how to speak in public, so hopefully one day I can campaign

But I truly in my heart, that if I become, I want to be a good president. Please encourage me

Re: . by thesicilian: 3:04pm On Aug 25, 2016

If you plan to be a good President then you must prepare adequately. Read wide, know a little above average about many areas of life, most especially economics, politics and administration. Have the fear of God in you and a kind, helping heart. Surround yourself with people of integrity and intelligence. If you're still in school then join a debate club, contest in (inter)departmental elections - even if you have no chance of winning. You will learn valuable lessons whether you win or lose.

Hello Nairalanders,
I am twenty years old, and want to be president of our great country one day.
What can I begin to do to prepare myself?
What books should I read, which organizations should I be part of? How can I prepare in general?

Thanks for your responses.

Do you have any recommendations? I love to read!

And it's not really caffeine I think. It's a mixture of patriotism, and ambition

HI! By "profile" you mean personal information as in age, sex, educational background, etc?
Or something else?

Yes, remember to write family background if your ambition is in Nigerian politics.

Thanks for your advice bro. I recently contested in the international public speaking contest of Toastmasters. Didn't make it far, but I will try again. My aim is to become better at public speaking. I appreciate your help, thank you!

Great!
Age: I just turned 20.
Faith: Christian, I'm super tolerant of people of all faiths, and those without.

Educational background: University 3rd year, Heidelberg university, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. I major in Information Technology, but I find myself increasingly drawn to management, and business, and politics

I don't really have an ambition to go to graduate school, I guess I'm impatient to contribute to the world grin

I also did a semester of exchange studies in Tokyo, Japan.

Family Background: Very humble

I'm from Cross River State. My mom is a civil servant in public health, Dad was a soldier, he is now late, more than a decade ago. I'm fortunate to win a scholarship to study abroad.

I think I'm pretty smart, certainly ambitious. I'm working hard on my people skills. I'm a member of Toastmasters International, so I know a thing or two about public speaking. I'm extremely Pan-African, and very passionate about the future of our country, to which I hope I can contribute. The way I speak about Africa and Nigeria, my friends joke that I will be president one day grin

I deny it, but it's something I secretly hope I can be

I hope this is enough info. Will be happy to give more

It's interesting, many people suggest that I become proficient at lying.
I will endeavor to be sincere, whether or not I become a president

Good choice then.

We need honest people in government but I don't see that happening soonest.

I only advice you based on the technical reality of the political climate in Nigeria.

don't lose hope because amidst all these is a silent movement to mobilise and reorientate the nigerian youths. With the right ideals and capacity to define a new Nigeria, the future is bright.

- books on Nigerian History
- Emeka (Frederick Forsythe)
- There Was A Country (Chinua Achebe)
- My Life (Bill Clinton)
- The Accidental Public Servant (El Rufai)
- My Watch (Olusegun Obasanjo)
- My Command (Olusegun Obasanjo)

These are just some of the books that I myself have found very useful. Though I am not a politically minded person, I like to read biographies and autobiographies just to know why people are the way they are and act the way they do.
