When I mean recycled, I mean that obansanjo since his military days still dictates who becomes president and all. It’s still the same class of 79’ that run things!

Obasanjo left power 79’ and has been active ever since till date.

No, he doesn’t....
He backed Atiku against Buhari and lost.

Meanwhile, the US keeps “recycling” the same families...
While the UK keeps “recycling” the same public school alumni.

The Irony of life is 99.9999% of the youths commenting dont understand her words..

She said "Nigeria Politics" is an Old men club where gentlemans agreement of rotation must be followed

The old men club only adjectifies the Gentle mens Agreement.. as in the 18thcentury where "Old Men Club" or fraternity lodge, freemasions and ogbonis are noted for thier gentle mans agreement and sealing deal with handshake

I think you mean “Old Boys’ Club”...

But that’s NOT what she’s saying...
Rather, she was being LITERAL and the bit about gentleman’s agreement is a second strand of thought.

Sadly, her drivel is the epitome of ‘parachute’ analysis...
Zoning in Nigeria is not a Chicago-style smoke room accord but rather loudly propagated in the plain view.

She did not say Nigeria"s politics is a club of old men b'cos she is projecting the youths as she never mentioned the youths in her statement but what she means is that it is a cabal of old men who are in power to protect and advance their interest,not having d interest of their country and it's citizens at heart.

A club of AGBAYAS"

She could ve also said it is club of youths in d same context.

And in case you are still in doubt...
Go back and look at the original article (as well as the OP’s post).

She clearly says, “[t]here is ALSO a gentleman’s agreement...” (emphasis added)...
In effect, she is saying that in ADDITION to being gerontocracy, there is ALSO this gentleman’s agreement.
