Thank you chief. This was exactly what you did when you publicly tore pęrępęręly your membership card of PDP. I hope these politicians will accept this piece of advice.

Tafa Balewa was 56 when Kaduna Nzeogwu Obasanjo's friend a 29 years old Military youth and his killer squad killed the then Old men to take over Nigeria

The excuse youth of Obasanjo 27, Gowon 30, Murtala 29, Babangida 22, Abacha 22, Abdulsalam 22, Ojuckwu 31 ,generation gave was that they were better than Awolowo 59, Tafa Balewa 56, Azikwe 61, Akintola 58, Sarduna. 60,

The youth of Obasanjo's era brought, Destruction of Agricultural based florishing economy, they destroyed education, caused civil war, devalued Naira by 1000% , increased Poverty , unemployment and mortality rate, stole blindly, borrowed and threw us in debt without any infrastructure, destroyed power sector and sold it, privatised every of Nigerian asset

Saraki was 39 when he became Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu 39, Yahaya Bello was 40,
Dino melaye was 37 when he joined National Assembly, Anyim Pius Anyim 39, Ekweremadu 41, Ahmed Lawan 41... What did they all achieve as a youth

@the bold
Check your facts right,most of the young military officers then that you mentioned above were not part of the coup that killled those leaders you mentioned back then 1966.the coup was master minded by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna.

Rather those military officers you mentioned were at the center of the counter coup, which was majorly a retaliation by vast majority of young military officers from the north,infact it was master minded by Murtala Muhammed in which Aguiyi Ironsi (the then head of state) and Adekunle Fajuyi were the only casualties for not bringing to justice the Military officers that were part of the first 1966 coup.

I get where you're going but this your illustration is ridiculously ridiculous,cos first of all you altered what actually happened in history and secondly that scenario can't be used for the kind of narrative you're trying to draw here

Dude I like your comments. You respond quite intelligently. What has sincerity, accountability, efficiency, effectiveness, foresight and a host of other characteristics of great minds got to do with age? How old was this same Obasanjo when ruled Nigeria between 1999 and 2007? How old was Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, the man he brought to cover up his mess, when he foisted him on Nigerians? Now his arch rivals; Tinubu and Atiku are taking over the center stage in the next political battle and here he is jabbering about old politicians clearing the political scene.

So the past has to be the judge of the present?
There's nothing wrong in what he said, this country at this point needed visionaries not missionaries
Tinubu is only aspiring to be the president just to complete his political mission before he dies, that man has zero plans for Nigeria, he wants to go down in history as a past president of Nigeria, I'm a westerner and believe me I'll never root for Tinubu to be president, anyone rooting for Tinubu at this point only crave for what is going to fill thier pocket

I didn't know Obasanjo is quarrelling with Tinubu.


Like you mean baba shouldn't say what he said leaving the power for the young like you mean he should have supported tinubu and the rest of the old men, like you mean you will vote for Tinubu.

Any nigerian youth that voted for any of these our ancestors he is still in the dark age.

Unfortunately the old politicians have tormented the younger politicians and took a way their self-worth.
Imagine in 2021, of the vibrant young educated population in SW region non of them can challenge ancestor tinubu and other older people.
Nigerian youths are afraid to even criticise the older politicians , and demand their positions.

Obj is a greedy old man who believes no other Yoruba man is capable of attaining the highest office than himself. It was same greed that pushed him in working against the ambitions of Awolowo, MKO and in recent past, almost crippled the economy of Lagos save for the ingenuity of Tinubu who had to wave his magic wand to rescue Lagos. He believed he was better than everyone else until Buhari equalled his record as the only man who rose to become the head of state and twice as elected President.
It was for his narcissistic tendencies that Prof. Soyinka had a verbal running battle with him.
Did he ever think about the youths while he was President and ever scheming behind the scenes to perpetrate his third term agenda.
I have come to agree with Ashiwaju Tinubu who has come out to say to whoever cares to listen that no intimidation can stop his ambition.

Did MKO not work against Awo? OBJ and MKO issue might have to do with ITT money. MKO was a "civilian military'....made his money from bogus military contracts. He wasn't a good person self. It's like someone that stole from you and give you token to feed yourself just to buy goodwill. MKO mandate should be separated from MKO the person. Abacha and IBB were his friends until they fell out, he was part and parcel of the coup that brought IBB in. IBB made corruption official.

I don't believed in youth presidency,unless the youth is a strong politician and performed very well in any administrative/political post.. I support tinubu presidency..I pray,May God support him and help him to succeed.. Amin..

Indeed, it's time for young people to take over the mantle of leadership, not just in Nigeria but in the entire African continent. We need new ideas on how to move the African continent forward.

Coincidentally, I just wrote an article yesterday about the best books on leadership.

Here are the Top 80 books every leader must read. It's the ultimate compilation of the best books on leadership.

Read them to acquire knowledge from past leaders.

This your narrative is worse than horse sh*t
Re: Obasanjo Tells Old Politicians To Leave The Stage For Younger Ones by pacespot(m): 11:55am On Feb 22, 2022
Thiwalade:
Leadership sometimes isn't about age. An older man is more likely to be wiser, experienced, patient, emotionally mature and less spontaneous in reaction while a younger leader brings fresh ideas, possibly innovative thinking, modern trends, boundless energy, and quick wit.
You'll agree with me that employing a first class student as a manager of a multinational company could spell doom. Though, the young manager may bring fresh innovative ideas, the gap of experience, man management and emotional maturity could cause knee-Jack decisions which can impend whatever growth recorded. Nigeria as a multi-ethnic entity is far more complex to manage because any action taken can cause serious implication in any part of the country. A younger president who is less emotionally mature will more likely have killed a state offender which could lead to serious revolt and thus another round of bloodletting and bad blood between ethnic groups.

If I am to cast my vote for a youth, he/she must've displayed high level of tolerance, emotional maturity, must be looking to build a good legacy, and be ready to listen to wise counsel from elders with experience and most likely wisdom.

You are still cast in that dark shadow of age-old tradition that believes only by age can one gain an experience to lead? Forget it, the world is fast changing, even the experience of yesterday might not be that useful today. We are now in the era of digital information. If you tell people lie, they will know that you are lying, same thing if you tell them the truth, they know, even though it might not be immediate.

Do you think that all decisions taken by presidency came from Buhari alone? What are those special advisers, ministers and other arms of government doing? Today, you can learn a lot just by using your tablet and smartphone to guage people's reactions to issues. The world of leadership today is by who can learn quickly rather than those with experience.

Knowledge can be expended with bridging any gap of experience in my view. What experience are we even talking about in Nigerian government today Is it the experience of stealing money or playing partisan politics? We don't even have any templates that we follow as a country rather than those that will serve the interests of some individuals. Nigerian youths are far better placed to change this status quo due to their willingness to learn new things and adapt the changes to their lifestyles, which portend great potentials for our country.
