For years Nigerians always complain of bad leaders and govt,the issue isn't that there aren't better qualified candidates contesting for political positions, it boils down to 3 main issues
1.POOR EDUCATION SYSTEM:70% of Nigerians are illiterates,in the USA a high school graduate is better than a university graduate in nigeria, this means that majority of the masses are illiterates and they know nothing about politics and
Govt policies,hence they keep on voting in old and incompetent politicians to win over younger and qualified candidates and rule Nigeria
POVERTY:more than half of Nigerian electorates are poor and they know nothing about government policies they see that to be a competent aspirant you must have money to throw around wether the money is gotten through illegal means or looted the average Nigerian don't care all they care is that,the Oga dey spend ooo na im I go vote for,and poverty make it so bad that the masses worship the evil leaders and see them as Gods that can't be questioned they don't mind collecting selling their votes during elections as long as the candidate pays,this is due to mass poverty of Nigerians and wicked politicians use this to their advantage
TRIBALISM:lastly another major problem that will hinder the emergence of a competent Nigerian politician is tribalism,the average Nigerian see everything from a tribalistic angle and don't even mind voting for an incompetent leader due to tribalism this effect had lingered on in Nigeria for a long time and I don't see this effect going away soon
Due to this factors it would be difficult to for a young and qualified politician who haven't blended into Nigerian corrupt politics to contest and win an election

On point

Its not impossible

You are very right... and some of we the present generation of youths seem to be worse at that!

You forgot Religion

You wrote about illiteracy, but you're the biggest illiterate in this thread. You wrote without punctuation marks, paragraphs and you want to tell me that you are literate. Your tenses are very bad, too.

That said, the points you are trying to convey are valid to some extent.

Am aware u aren't ignorant that auto correct exists,either is this an English writing competition, but trying to draw attention to specific issues.
It would be hypocritical on your part,to attack me on my tenses.i never told you I had a PhD in English language.let the main points I stressed out get into your head.its people like you that hate to hear simple truth that had kept Nigeria in it's dillusional, unprogressive and a perpetual state of quagmire.
