Nigerians on Twitter were united in berating renowned news media mogul, CNN after they twitted an "offensive" headline about the age of the Nigerian presidential candidates in the upcoming elections..

Nigerians, always reacting. But CNN no lie na. Buhari and atiku are old men, aren't they? But the older of the two will be returning to daura on saturday.
For now, atiku is a goal.

Ur own Atiku Atikulooted will remain in Adamawa on Monday! Mind u all his hope of becoming no 1 man in nigeria will b totally dashed by 4pm on Saturday. By den he wud have seen where d pendulum swinging b4 d umpire announcement.

Calm down.... U guys on social media make so much noise, am sure u dont have PVC

Age is never the issue , but the capacity to deliver, which we have seen buhari can't.

For the first time, let's give this country to business men to handle and if after 4yrs there is no improvement, we kick them out as usual..

Stop tying ur support to incompetence, be flexible, thats the only way

I have nothing much to tell you since you could just conclude at the bold that I have no PVC. Hope you'll be bold enough to show us your own?

Uncouth and savage as it appears,this soundbite is apt hits the nail on the head and it's not farther from the truth.
Gerontocrats leading youth.It should be the other way round.But Nigerian youths are missing; they've surrendered their birth rights to accidents of history who are officiating the funerisation of this tragedy,even as vultures circles to feast on this carcass.
CNN is only reminding Nigerian youths of their rights, nudging them to wake up from their sleep.

Most of you guys are missing the crux of the post. The second part of the post "...Africa's youngest youth population" is the reason why it's an issue. US, UK and most other developed nations have a large elderly population with a good life expectancy, so even if an elderly man leads them, it's no big deal. In Nigeria on the other hand, majority of the population are young. It thus becomes awkward when an elderly man is leading a population of young people, in a nation with a very low life expectancy.

They are right actually but this is stupid interference.

Trump is a teenager right? See the west knows how to disrespect Africa but it's not their fault. How many African countries send election observers to Europe? This is because they can manage themselves and Africans are still feeling like .........

I appreciate CNN but this is overboard .


I'M ATIKULATED.
Let them come and see that our youth are not even ready. Go ask yahaya Bello and elrufia. They are the worst governors we have. Our youth will kukuma sell the country and put the money in their yahoo yahoo account. Youth ko. Young ni grin angry grin tongue

Some Nigerians would be reacting without using their brains.

Trump is an old man but he is not presiding over a country with one of the youngest youth populations in the world.

However, it is a shame that we have the youngest youth population in Africa and yet the two main contenders are old men.

Anyway, I remain for Buhari.

4+4 = 2023

So CNN called a couple of old men, old men and Nigerians are angry. Why?

Are they not old? Is it an insult to be called old?

And is the old age of our leaders not one of the issues most Nigerians complain about? So now that CNN is giving a voice to the complaint of the masses shouldn't you people be happy?

Hypocrites.

For many years many of you said Buhari was too old until you had to canvas for Atiku yourselves.

Fulani was your problem.

No, Northerners were your problem.

Then it became Muslims.

Now you are canvasing for the same.

Shameless people.

Thank you. PDP e-rats only stopped calling Buhari an old man when Atiku with his 70 something years of age emerged as their party candidate.
Fulani as a president is not their problem anymore.
Muslim president is not the issue again, no shouting of Islamisation agenda.
Northerner as a president is not the issue again, no more cry of "burn to rule"

You are a compound fool, they were right. Trump might be old but doesn't look it. We have an old president. That was the major reason for that insulting analogy. We have much younger alternatives but aren't moved in our gerontocracy complex.

Well, apples and oranges.
The largest demographic in Nigeria are youths, the largest demographic in America are senior citizens.

you dey mind these mumu people here?

over there in Nigeria, both the youths and the old fools are useless.

Look at yahaya bello, and other young ones elected into office (Bankole and all).
how different were they from the old cargoes?

The old cargoes we have today largely led Nigeria to ruin in their youth

So it's not really abt the age, those at the helm are just useless

CNN does not speak for Conservative America, they are a media organization creating fake news and victims every time to advance their liberal causes. CNN=FAKENEWS!!!!

America is NOT a conservative country in the real sense of it.

there are liberal states, as well as conservative states.

so don't call America a conservative country.
