Congrats To George Oppong Weah who was earlier today sworn in as Liberia's new President. Like George Weah, Can Nigerians Elect This Dude As Our President If He Contests? Can his popularity get him the votes?

No pls.
We don't want name but competency
Same way Nigeria voted buhari cos he had name and noise.

The Party won't let him nor Obama type.. If I am wrong, let any Party adopt Dangote/Iweala and see the Miracle.

George Weah was not elected because of popularity, he was elected because he had something to offer, was persistent and never gave up on his dreams and aspirations... if it was because of popularity, he would have beaten Ellen Johnson Sir-leaf

We will not know until he joins a political party, run for their primaries and ready to play politics.

I wouldn't vote Kanu just because of his superstar status.
He has to have something to offer.

If you look at George Weah's journey, you would see a man tenacious in his quest to excel and improve himself.
WAEC to Masters degree in just a few years.

If such a Figure were to contest in Nigeria, many Nigerians would be stupidly hung up on jejeune issues like his Tribe, Religion, etc. He might not even be noticed at all if he doesn't join one of the major parties.

Abi na...

A man that can't control his wife has no business with managing the affairs of Nigerians.
Dead on arrival.

Kanu suffers from low IQ just like Buhari so he should park well..We need a visionary

like george kanu was highly competent on the pitch o

only popularity can win election. Just that football popularity does not equal political popularity. Ppl aren't stupid

what if he forms his own party and share money?

Abraham Lincoln couldn't control his wife

The post implied his popularity as a former football player got him elected

No

MIKOLOWISKA:

You know it's not so easy in Nigeria to form a massive party.

It's achievable though.

I believe a young person outside of these vicious circles can make his presence felt with heavy publicity campaigns.


But sharing money? I laugh.
Those corrupt guys have endlessly deep pockets.
Imagine sharing thousands in every Ward of the federation!
It would be impossible to keep up with that.

People up there be talking about controlling the wife like she is linked to a remote control or something.

Weah and Kanu may have been good footballers but they are not the same politically. He should just concentrate on the heart foundation

President of Biafra republic.

He can't even win LGA chairman self

Dude will be worse than buhari.

MIKOLOWISKA:
name one competent person

I don't discuss politics. Let's see wat George weah tenure would bring to his country

Vote fire!!!! Someone that can’t even tame his talkative wife or manage his finances without going bankrupt. He will be worse than this dullard you people are trying to cope with!

Hell no. Kanu can't even speak simple and correct English. He is too dull. I prefer Sunday Oliseh

yet you boldly declared WE don't want NAME
when you know nothing about how elections are won.

Elxandre:

Everything is easy with money
If you're not ready to do difficult you're not fit for office

It's achievable though.

I believe a young person outside of these vicious circles can make his presence felt with heavy publicity campaigns.

and you think they will be frying beans while the non vicious person is depriving them of food

But sharing money? I laugh.
Those corrupt guys have endlessly deep pockets.
Imagine sharing thousands in every Ward of the federation!

If you're not ready to share you're not ready for office
And money is not cash only by the way
Only a committed person will do the needful

It would be impossible to keep up with that.

that's what you think (inside the box)
Very easy to challenge them if you have the conviction

Mariangeles:
The post implied his popularity as a former football player got him elected

no, you inferred that
Why didn't he win first time with only football popularity?
Many factors needed to win elections besides name recognition

What kind of joker are you?

Use Barack Obama as model for a leader.

What can a footballer do to progress Nigerian politics?

Our politics need a unique person with a blend of exposures and enlightenement. OP, please stop insulting intelligence here. We wish Weah and Liberia luck but no footballer president for Nigeria abeg.

You guys are mediocres!

Are you blind and deaf? Dont you see and hear whats going on in America? They elected a savvy businessman with ZERO political exposure. He has been experimenting with US since he got in.

I dont even think Dangote has serious business acumen. The guy has access to ennablers that removed competition and gave him market monopoly...thats how he topped the business executive class.

What does he know about politics?

Can Iweala govern a LG?


Let me get out of this irritating thread

Nigeria is a bigger and more complex nation,I don't see that happening
