BluntCrazeMan:
Must the youths join a political group and then declare interest in ruling for presidency before they can vote in people of their choice??
See the nonsense you're typing here.

J2381:
you only need money when you're contesting for elected office.

Being active in party politics, getting political appointments and the likes doesn't involve money.

adioolayi:


The submission was made on the popular opinion of youths that the current politicians are not worthy of our votes.

Gandollar:
This country will not move forward as presently constituted even if Obama was president.

Wiseandtrue:
So no sir!, You don't have to be in politics to effect any change!

Dora Akunyili was not a politician when she touched lives!

Maduka, running for Anambra gubernatorial seat was not in politics before he effects changes that brought him to lime light!

Dr. Stella Adadevoh, saved the population of Lagos, from ebola, was she into politics

So what are you saying How can a professor of law just speak anyhow all for the sake of talking then when it comes to real talks, he's mute

If being what you (prof Osibanjo) are today is what being in politics is all about then I dare say politics cages one and makes one senseless!

adioolayi:


What's the way forward? What's the solution? It's not possible there won't be a way forward.

I think we should start focusing on solutions

Gandollar:
Getting political appointments doesn't involve money? Really?

When ordinary police posting requires you to have millions for bribe.

EmptyGarden:
And you can't join politics without becoming a criminal.

Gandollar:
The solution is true federalism. Restructure back to the regions. Into six Geoeconomic zones where every zone will grow at their own pace, while the centre is still rotational leadership but a weak centre.

Otherwise, nothing can halt the institutionalized over dependence on oil proceeds, the inequitable distribution of wealth, endemic corruption, religious and ethnic biases and suspicions, terrorism, rising insecurity that currently ravages the country.

Do you see any zone willing to back down for the other in their agitations?

The best is if we can't go our separate ways, then the country should be restructured along Geoeconomic lines now or be sorry.

Modified:

which of your politicians both past and present is as popular as these people I mentioned

Even Osibanjo's name will soon be forgotten as soon as he leaves the seat because there's nothing extraordinary about him! That's a fact!

Some said youths, what about Yahaya Bello Talk about Desmond Elliot, are they not in politics, what can they be remembered for

Even as a politician, your character will stand you out not because of politics or any party!

The actions of those we know today, stand them out!

I still maintain that you don't have to be a politician to effect a positive change!

That you can take to the bank!

Abohboy:


Yes you can we just don't vote in the right people into power to develop the country

EmptyGarden:

Yes we do, but power changes people... It deforms them.

SHOPPERS:
Like you're making abi? Sharing bara money upandan the whole country.

TheGoodJoe:


Prof. Osinbajo is very right. What else should he say?

You can make little changes with Civil actions but to make massive transformation is through politics.

If ENDSARS youths can come together to get involved in the selections and voting process of the country, they can directly achieve the change they want.

TheGoodJoe:


But that same person with power and influence can effect more on a wider scale.

Are Nigerian politicians making it

It is the impact too big to be seen or heard of

dangote is making massive change in cement and petroleum. Talk another one

adioolayi:


What's the first step towards achieving true federalism
Is the action not going to be championed by some leaders true constitutional reforms

We cannot achieve anything without proper legislative process....and it's those that have the belive of that ideology that will implement it.

Hence, we are back to the first conversation of getting involved in politics and identifying those that can bring these reforms and put them into power

J2381:
Yes getting political appointment doesn't involve money. Don't confuse influence with money.

Those police who brine their posting do so because they want to be posted to a place where there is money. So remember not all police bribe to get posted to juicy places. Beside, don't compare police posting to party politics.

Gandollar:
Ok. How much did political parties sell their interest forms in the last general elections?

J2381:
interest forms?

Gandollar:
Yes.

J2381:
You're not getting it. You don't have to contest for political office before you can make a change. That's what I'm saying.

Gandollar:
Don't drift away from your earlier stand. Well if you are in active politics to make a change to benefit a wider group of people, you will need a pedestal. A political office. And an exalted one at that.

My point is, our politics is very monetized. A viable youth with something to offer may not have the financial muscle to compete.

Why do you think women are still not in politics as is desired?

After spending so much to get elected, he only want to recoup his investment.

What I think led osubande to make this statement is because he is wary of the so called youth ranting on social media about the old brigade. So he was simply saying, don't just stand there and talk, get involved and see how sweet/bitter it gets on this side.

We all can't be in active politics. Let those to whom it's given govern well.
