Poverty makes one older than his/her age. It will never be our portion again.

The solution to Nigeria's political situation is not about reducing of age but reducing of greed. How many young people would support a fellow youth with vision at the expense of running after policitians that have stolen enormous fortune. When the youths of Nigeria are ready the elders will know and give way. For now let's continue to be their house boys -aides.

Unfortunately,

With those qualifications, the nearest he can get to politics in Nigeria is being a Ballot box snatcher.

You know when people grow up in real hardship they tend to look older than their real age...you just take a look around u and compare a privileged kid with his/her underprivileged age-mate....you will see what worries and poverty can do to the human body.

Re: John Paul Mwirigi, Kenya’s Youngest Member Of Parliament by higgs: 10:30pm On Aug 10, 2017
He is too young to be a legislator. Experience still counts. I prefer having a minimum & maximum age bracket for elective positions,maybe 30-65 years.One of the reasons Nigeria had very poor leadership in the past is because some of the leaders were relatively young and inexperienced. National calamities like the Nigerian civil war may well have been avoided if Gowon and Ojukwu were older,wiser,less hot headed and understood the enormous consequences of their decisions/actions.

@23 he's already an active politician without funds to run campaigns but the reverse is the case in Naija. Everything in Naija is money! money! money! humiliation! humiliation! humiliation!

Even @35 the new constitutional age does not guarantee one for a political position in Naija. Everything is wrong with this country...!

Mwirigi is really courageous, ambitious.

The reverse isn't the case in Nigerian. We got what we deserved.

They simply applied what is currently being considered as the option for Kogi state. The Home Grown Solution (HGS) it's a political leadership Ideology that sees the people voting for their own resident youths who live with them and know their collective problems. That is the surest way to eliminate money politics, give opportunity to resident locals and develop a leadership nursery for the future of the state.

Dear all, We are going through a recession in Nigeria. This is
the time to help someone out! Things are rough for
a lot of people, even the ones one may think are
rich or doing well. If you can help someone please
do.
This is the time to help your gateman pay his children's school fees. This is the time to give him
some food items. This also goes for your maid, give
her some transport money if she/ he isn't a live-in.
Buy that colleague lunch. He or she is probably not
dieting, they just can't afford it. Give some
colleagues a lift even if to a certain point. Buy your friend petrol for their car and or
generator. He's not walking because he wants to
exercise.
Give that Uncle or Auntie N10k, they're probably in
dire circumstances hence they're ringing off your
phone. Patronise farmers if you can. It's cheaper to get
your goods from them. Eat more greens - they're
cheaper.
Don't go to people's houses expecting to be fed.
It's rude and times are hard. Be thankful if they feed
you, it's not easy for anyone. Give out you and your kids old clothes and shoes
to people who truly need them.
Pay an undergraduate's school fees. Recommend a
good graduate if you know of a job opening. That
may be the only way he or she can feed their
parents and siblings. Let neighbours fetch water from you if you have a
borehole.
Feed a homeless child or person. You never know
who you're helping. That might be the next
Einstein.
Pay someone's hospital bill, it could be life or death. You could literally be saving a life.
We all know how prices have doubled . Some
families may not have food on festival day, feed a
family. Invite them over. People won't tell you what
they're going through so be sensitive and see
through the facade. If you live abroad and can spare some change for
poorer family members please send it, it's no joke.
Folks can barely feed daily.
There are so many little things that can be done,
please search your heart and be creative to come
up with other ways you can give. Folks are hungry, angry and tired. Leave the government, we are the
welfare system in Nigeria.
None of these are compulsory please. It's just a way
to help each other out. Do what you can. If you're
already doing any of these and can afford to, then
well done, if you can do more please do. Keep being kind. We are a very religious lot, this is the
time to practice what we preach and the essence of
every religion - love! The law of giving never ever
fails, believe it or not!
Show love to someone today, tomorrow!
God bless you as you do

This is life changing. GOD BLESS YOU.

Nigeria has a unique problem...

They clamour for change and youthful energy in politics and governance but no one is bold enough to take a step

If a certain guy tries to make a move (like Kaycee and Co), they use hate speeches, insinuating, claiming an imaginary irresponsibility on every young man trying to swim and strive in this overwhelming political tide..

Instead of listening and encouraging one another, giving everyone a chance...

Just imagine that I come knocking on your door begging for your vote and support,

I sure say una go just laugh say dis guy no get handwork grin

Them go even use that "get da fvck outta here picture stoning me with that big bucket" grin
You are so right..our problem is so unique that we don't even know it.the same people shouting revolution will be the first to call you miscreant when u wanna start it...the same people asking for youth leadership will be the first to laugh and scorn at u....even your immediate family will call you useless... Sarah jubril contested for presidency as only got one vote during primary yet all women will be shouting for fair representation...I tell you naija problem have got no head or tail so its gonna be hard to solve it
