You see why the young ones can't get jobs?
Does this great-grandpa not have educated grand children in their 40s who can do this job? But he accepted rather than pass it to them.
Except of course he wants to take it open doors for his off springs...
Una see the senate? Na Magu body dem get power.

I am a Nigerian youth, I am not doomed. God forbid!

Only the Nigerian youths that voted for Buhari are the ones doomed. And even those ones who have even started again to clamour for his second term are more doomed.

If you are in any of this two categories, sorry, your guess is as good as mine.

The senate used DSS report to disqualify a young EFCC boss but turned a blind eye to confirm an old man despite the same DSS report. Who is afraid of Magu?

The youth are to be blamed for the madness. Most of us are either chasing after women, or doing Yahoo or getting paid by the grandpas to defend their madness on social media.

that's not true my brother. we're simply not given the chance.

we went to school, earn a degree, master's etc. most of us could not even secure a job but would be SAs and PAs to the old grannies who are mostly not even current or with a health problem.

In the 60s, most of them were below 30 when they ruled this country and their educational qualifications were mostly not upto degree level.

Youths don finish for Nigeria...
most people fail to understand this post, yes the man is old but keep the age aside and you will understand they trying to tell us how corrupt this legislathieves are. This man got DSS reports against him yet they confirmed him cuz they know he can't trouble them and even the first time he was rejected it was based on age shiii and not the DSS matter but they won't confirm MAGU even with all the proofs in the public domain showing this man never committed the crime leveled against him by DSS. They should just burn all those thieves during one of their sittings so we can move forward in this country.

You see why the youth have no say in this country, making an 82 years old man an ambassador, while France is busy making a 39 year old president and one idiot will tell me these politician have our interest at heart.

Yea for sure that man should be in his bedroom preparing for his grave already but I am just trying to point out the politics in this man's confirmation. Why will they confirm this man with allegations from DSS but deny MAGU cuz of allegations from same DSS that doesn't even hold waters cuz there are a lot of evidence online that he is very innocent of those allegations

This nation has indeed gone to the dogs! Sometimes I wonder why God put me in this nation as I don't seem to "get" the way things are done. An 82 freaking year old man His grandchild would have been a better option...Like with all due respect, the man is absolutely shameless! Sad stuff!


There are many youths already SERVING the public in various capacities at the local, state and federal administration levels either in the executive or legislative arm.
So what are you talking about sir?
Meanwhile, how much money and time have YOU ever contributed to any politician's campaign or to the political process of any particular party?
If you have not done so personally, how many other youths do you know that have contributed their money, talents and time for any political process?
Can you define stealing except that it is reaping where one has NOT sown?

I know the man personally. He is from Oguta in Imo state.
Rochas did not nominate him. He was hand picked by PMB.

He was Appeal Court Judge and gave the minority report in favour of PMB when PMB ran against OBJ in 2003.

Justice Sylvanus Nsofor was approached by the then ANPP but he rebuffed all gifts saying he did what he felt was right. From then, PMB was awed by his sincerity and dedication to the truth.

Justice Nsofor is however older than the figure 82 tagged him but he is sound. I know this because he is my late Dad's age mate and were friends. He is as straight as a pole, is not swayed by money or power and values a good name.

You obviously don't understand that the same Mugabe was a "noise making freedom fighter" against British rule and the rule of "independent", racist and white minority government of Ian Smith in Rhodesia before they won true independence in 1980?
Redeem yourself from the sin of perishing for lack of knowledge, please.
