Why Do Nigerians Like Electing Old Men For Political Positions? by naijabetlee(m): 3:58pm On Apr 09, 2022
These people say the youths are the future. The youths are the leaders of tomorrow. The youths this, the young ones that. Yet, they're recycling themselves in power like it is their family right.

How many young people are in power or in a position of authority in the various levels of government?

When will it be our turn to be leaders? When we're 60? 70? 80?

2023 Elections are coming and the people who want to contest have questionable ages.

When will the youths eventually have a voice in the governing of the nation?

Because the youth embrace entertainment more than their future
That’s why they always talk about Davido and Wizkid

It's not a Nigerian thing. It's what happens almost everywhere in the world.

One thing required to sustain power is not just wealth but experience.

In the real sense, what has young people got to offer asides being ambitious, agile before power?.. We always end up a collosal failure because things aren't what it seems.

Zelensky is a typical example. I don't know about Macron

cool


When will America stop electing Old people for President, Biden 79 , Trump , 73

To answer you

Question 1 ;

These people say the youths are the future. The youths are the leaders of tomorrow. The youths this, the young ones that. Yet, they're recycling themselves in power like it is their family right.

Answer 1;

Who are these People?! Did anyone stops the youth from contesting and voting fellow youths

As a Youth have you purchased Political nomination form and got turned back for being a youth?!

Did anyone stop your aspiration or anyone refuse to vote for you


Question 2;

How many young people are in power or in a position of authority in the various levels of government?

Answer 2:

How many young people have spent their time and resources to seek power?!

How many young people have contested for power and authority?!

How many youths have trusted each others with power?!

Even to vote on election day is a problem to them





Question 3

When will it be our turn to be leaders? When we're 60? 70? 80?

Answer 3:

Whenever you are ready that's when it is your turn, so it's all in your hands to decide if you want to be a follower or a leader

Question 4;

2023 Elections are coming and the people who want to contest have questionable ages.

Answer 4;

What made their age questionable?!

Will you accept a teenager or 18 year old call you questionable for aspiring for a job you are qualified for just because he is younger than you

Question 5;

When will the youths eventually have a voice in the governing of the nation?

Who stops youth from voicing their opinions out?!

We have freedom of speech
