Nigerians have to realise that the basic fundamental key to transform their country is not whether they are detribalised or dereligionised,or the amount of entrepreneurship they practice.

What is missing in NIGERIA is a young leader- a capable young leader with less political baggage.an example of such a person who is known is adebayo of sdp.

People keep making reference to yahaya Bello, that is bullcrap.yahaya Bello had his fault quite alright but one reason kogi is not under the attacks of killers is because of the strategy yahaya Bello implemented both diplomatically and offensively, I will not go into details in that.but it went a long way in preventing attacks by the so called herders.

Nigeria needs a young person as a ruler, who can move around the country easily and freely and doesn't need all the political and cultural dressing and pageantry attached to the usual presidential visits and activities.This will enable proper approach to governance, not a ruler who leaves governance to his handlers and just enjoys the perks and status of a president- this was typical of BUHARI and now TINUBU rule.

Nigeria needs a young president that is hands on and in tune with the modern times.

As long as Nigerians keep electing frail old men as presidents,they'll keep getting frail leaders who rule by proxy and who constantly are tone deaf,no progress will be made

No b by voting a youth. Yahaya Bello was not an old man when he became the governor of Kogi state

Vote a younger leader like who...? 🎤


Pls suggest a name!

Adebayo of sdp,the man is quite young and sound. A person like him as what it takes

Stop using yahaya Bello as a reference all the time,He is not the only young leader,besides he did better than many governors if you must know

Never heard of him and don't know him.

Besides, being young (the sound I'd need to hear myself), is not the only criteria for being a good president, or I'd just vote for young seun who has also registered the population of some states on Nairaland.

It's not the only criteria but a very important criteria Nigerians overlook.it is extremely important for a fragile poor nation like Nigeria

No am not a Yoruba person,not a Yoruba person

Never heard of him though...

But being young shouldn't be the only criteria for voting people to government.

Besides the few younger people voted in power haven't proven beyond reasonable doubt that they have anything different to offer.

If anything it's the other way around.

In my mind what we need is a new breed of politicians... one might say this comes with a younger generation of people but not necessarily!

Lol...

Seems like I copied your comment. But I didn't.
I already posted my comment then saw how similar especially the first few lines were!

It's not the only criteria but a very important one which must be ticked for Nigeria to move forward

Well then the younger folks should get involved in politics...

By all means. But they have to be ready to start at the base. And prove themselves while gradually building themselves the way up.

With an impressive track record. They shouldn't expect to be handed power just because they are young.

Besides the older generation of politicians will eventually need to be replaced.

It's all about balance!

God bless you. Perhaps we can make Yahya Bello the next president.

I do agree Nigerians should elect a young leader. I'm just sad to find your thread was to promote one particular individual, who's only supposed redeemings are, "young and sound".

The young and sound must surely do more work than that, I'd think, if they want to elect not to talk of electing.

But hey. Since we are just nominating for now, Seun Osewa for president, please.

Second choice, Dangote. For saying "let there be locally produced petrol in Nigeria", and there is locally produced petrol in Nigeria. Unfortunately, he's on the oldish side.

Get this clearly! It's not about the person! It's about the system and the people. If a General gives clear orders and his subordinates misinterpret those orders, the results will not be as expected. Now factor that into Democracy where the rule of law is sacrosanct and the rule of law states that everyone is innocent until proven guilty! What do you expect one man to do?

Pls suggest a name!

A 39 year old professor of accord contested in d last election

Nobody voted him


I will prefer that Ibo professor
Sowore
Other younger dudes who can reason with the youths more n understand their plight than all these old men

I wonder if I can borrow brain.

By "breed of politicians", do you mean, a group of people who have joined together to follow and lead, for want of rephrasing?

It would involve organising groups, which even my supposed youthful Obi is failing at for now, dare I say.

What a formidable force a youthful breed of politicians would be if organised to work together instead of all of us wanting to lead.

Leadership goes beyond how old you’re o..

No be play matter o

Well, we shouldn't just vote people...

Because they are 39 years old.

I don't know the position he contested for.

But these young stars can also start by testing themselves at the lower levels like house of representatives, councilor etc when they prove themselves at that level then they can present themselves as candidates at the state and federal level.

They can't just present themselves for president for example when nobody knows them or don't have a track record that people are aware of.

If they do well at the lower levels it's the people that would even recommend and press them to contest!

That one na lie , Young people behave ruled Nigeria more than old people, , more than 70 percent of the leader where young men ...today a majority bof the national Assembly are young men ...you need credible leaders not young ...The average GenZ today is more corrupt and decadent than any other generation I know

I didn't get your question very clearly...

But by new breed of politicians I meant not necessarily a group. But individuals with a different mindset from the norm of what is available with the present crop.

Maybe older generation or younger but with a different orientation for national development not just to acquire power and keep doing the same things all over again.

I do not also consider obi youthful at 63 years. He is just one of the youngest among the major contestants. Also he has tasted power and I don't see anything different he would be bringing to the table. He is part of the Older breed.

A new breed comes with a whole new and different orientation.

Everybody can not lead!

I agree with you...

The younger generation are more corrupt. And most also lack the necessary knowledge required!

A young ruler will make the difference, because he will be hands on,try it and see and stop giving excuses for these old men

yahaya Bello will be far better than buhari and tinubu

Nigeria needs a young ruler asap,it's not about gradual build up

Pls why do you say so...?

Do you know yahaya and his track record as governor in kogi state?

Or his case with the efcc?

Pls confirm before you make this statement boss!

We do but they can't fall from the sky...


Only if they have a credible and reliable track record!

Which young people have ruled Nigeria more than old people? During military era,the young rulers did far better than what we have now,despite the fact that they were dictators and not elected so there were constraints on their intentions from the get go,unlike an elected ruler who will articulate his agenda for the nation before being elected in an ideal system

Which credible and reliable track record did folks like buhari have before they were elected? You people keep giving the young ones impossible standards to meet but give these old men a free pass

Do you know what buhari as stolen? Is it because he is untouchable by efcc?These old men are chronically inept and corrupt
