And some mumu are clamouring for one old sick man from Lagos to be our president. Mtcheeeeew!

Prettylima:
I wish this can happen In My country

Until the skewed and lopsided political structure created by Arewa through its military dictators is redone, it NEVER gonna happen that a youthful leader emerges in Nigeria.

Here we have ancestors as president. See the results now. We babysit him with Niger Delta resources whilst the economy continues to dwindle under his watch

When some 40 years old boys and girls in Nigeria here are glad to be Buhari's e-rats?

There is a need to say no to the book of evils called the 1999 Constitution. We didn't have that at the beginning. Let's go back to what makes everyone of us a human being.

Chile had a GDP growth rate of 10.2% in 2021.
wow.

I had to go check it because such political phenomenon are only found in countries experiencing rapid development.

Every country gets the leadership they deserve.

Nigeria when? All this old men have tried there best, let them retire. Let try a younger person. Maybe forties or early fifties...and if it sixties, let it be tecnocrats like Akinwumi Adesina, Okonjo Iweala, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

Totilopussylick:
In Africa Nigeria specially, we practice old age politics .

Any young contester is forbidden and regarded as a child in politics .

But Africa had military heads of state who were in the twenties and thirties. Some of them were in Nigeria. They were youths, namely: PMN, OBJ, Ojukwu, Gowon, T Danjuma, etc.

These days we have youths who have refused to be political active or place themselves on platforms leading to such positions. We have social media moaners, who prefer to die for former youths who have now become very old men still holding on to power.

lexy2014:


Being old isn't the problem & being young, isn't automatically a solution. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The most powerful ingredient a presidential candidate or anyone aspiring for political office should have is patriotism and passion for nigeria. that is what many Nigerians don't have irrespective of age

As they keep re-grouping themselves, it will take time for someone with all the qualities you mentioned above to come .

Golan007:


Leave story.

Even you, would go to the booth in 2023 and cast for someone above 50.

Because you know my mind abi? I'm not hungry

Power is not given, it is taken.

Most of the people shouting "tinubu, on your mandate we stand" are youths like you.

Why will tinubu or atiku now retire when some percentage of the youths want them?

Eriokanmi:

Not after of hunger.

When the time case, I'll see who you'll be promoting.

While some 36 years old in Nigeria still waiting for his parents to feed him……this life no balance.

Some 36 years are still in school full time pursing Bachelor degree here in Nigeria

They have Billions and Bullions

nobody is born with a bullion van,davido has 30b,why is he not contesting.

Where the geriatric fc supporters na?

Colostomy cartel!

IgweOfNnewi:
You didn't mention Peter Obi, Umahi and that sleeping former senate president, don't be mischievous

how old is Peter obi, how old is umahi?

Lanretoye:
did they stop anyone from contesting?

Must you fight for them??

And Tinubu said he is a youth

Even without juju, you would expect a 36 year old Gabriel Boric to be an effective president than an 84 year old buhari.

Even the reduction in health tourism abroad is a lot of savings for their country.

His age mates in say Lagos Nigeria are pledging loyalty to the service of MC Oluomu

who plenty pass between the old and young in Nigeria? Until we decide to stand up, the old will keep sitting on our heads.

But Okonjo Iweala is Igbo.

Okonjo Iweala should have become president of Nigeria who would have taken Nigeria away from its pitiable economic situation.
Mediocrity reigns in Nigeria.
If Nigeria is a progressive country, its political class should have been begging Iweala now to come over and take the mantle of leadership of Nigeria.

No head of state wants to leave office ... like this previous one. Protests got him out. Why are we sitting and complaining that the ancestors don't want to give the youths a chance. University students are usually in the frontline for change.... leading protests... strikes... civil unrest.... as in this case... that usually bring pressure on the government. What are our university students doing?... complaining .... planning to japa ...active joining cults ... and supporting one ancestors or the other. Youths need to get together. These candidates will take Nigeria back into the 1900's .

ginggerxy:

I guess between 25 and 36, they are younger than the sworn in president

Real mumu they are, all of them.

Tufiakwa, a country where antiquity is voted to govern over modernism!

illicit:
Tinubu and Camerounian Atiku

Una dey hear so

Please count Tinubu out.....he is a youth.

In Nigeria, the youths are as corrupt as their elders.

That is why I settled for the politics of competence than age.

Coincidentally, I wrote an article on my blog few days ago calling on African youths to take over leadership role in Africa. We must eject the old ruling class in Africa and usher in an age of young people as leaders in Africa.

But the question is: how well are you prepared as a youth to become the president of Nigeria?

You must get prepared first. And to help you in your journey I'll like to present you with top books on leadership that you need to read to gain knowledge. See Top 82 books on leadership to read if you want to become the President, Governor, Minister. Best books on leadership

I could only wish for this in my country, knowing fully this can't happen.

How can this happen in Africa especially Nigeria when most youths are into yahoo, militias/terrorism, can't think rationally without religious and tribal bigotry, BBN, curvy women...... et al. Our dear Old politicians carry on....

poor miserable bastards, so much in love with suffering and hardship and hell no go allow such. they prefer candidates with senile dementia, age related macula degeneration and poor neural coordination as presidents.

spits...
