Should we close our eyes and jump into the deep blue see?.........U don't get my point........why these 2, are they all we have? I know we can do better- just hurts we aren't?

Yes we can do better......clearly. However those in power have made system so difficult that it is almost impossible for a young,vibrant and passionate person (the kind that u seek) to win an election in nigeria. See i participated actively in the electoral process and i can tell u boldly that it is not as black n white as u see it. If a fashola "manages" to win d APC primaries, he WILL NEVER defeat Jonathan...infact even if the situation in nig is worse than this,a Fashola will still lose an election against GEJ. Anybody in mainstream politics should know that. There are so many things that go on behind the scenes...those with power today are desperate,wicked and can do practically anything to retain it. Buhari stands a chance cuz he is virtually the only nigerian left that wld gather the largest followership based strictly on who he is. The kinda followership that could disregard the quest for personal gain and vote becuz u beliv that he can change the status quo. The powerful presently hold power.....it wld take only the powerful to cease it. If Buhari does win,i beliv deep down it would pave the way for the kinda people wish to have as leaders the opport to aspire for those positions and compete on a level playing field with others!

Recycling old ancestors. I ask again, out of 150 million Nigerians is Buhari and GEJ the best we can offer?

Like seriously? Does it mean we couldn't have come up with better candidates?

Old or young, it's just sad that Nigerians will have to choose between Buhari and GEJ! Both have nothing to offer.

Installed one idiot in power cause itz time for the South now we ar about to put another slowpoke cause itz time for the north abi.....how has zoning helped us as a nation(Economically I mean).

I DO NOT KNOW WHICH PART OF NIGERIA YOU CAME FROM,

YOU AS A PERSON MAY NOT MIND FASHOLA BEING THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

BUT, TRAVEL HOME THIS DECEMBER AND ASK FOR 10 PEOPLE'S OPINION ABOUT ANOTHER YORUBA MAN'S 2015 PRESIDENCY AND GET THEIR RESPONSE.

WE ARE AWARE OF THAT, LITTLE CHILDREN ARE NOT.

ALL THAT CHILDREN ARE CONCERNED WITH IS HOW FIDELITY BANK WILL HELP THEM LAUNCH THIER ROCKETS.

Every now and then people(especially politicians) talk about the youth being the future of this country, whilst reading from their carefully prepared speech, they make promises of empowering the youths, giving us opportunities to air our voices and participate in the affairs of this great country.........and we love to hear those sweet words!!!

But yesterday after the result of the APC presidential primaries election was announced and I saw Buhari(Major General) looking like one of those awoken mummies from an hollywood movie,(no offense meant-just what I thought when I saw him) I had to google his age.........I WAS STUNNED.....GMB as his loyal followers love to call him is 71 and will be 72 before the next election..............I don't have words to express my feelings but isn't a 71 year old man TOO OLD rule this country at this "computerized" era? Is this how our APC plan on empowering the youths? And effect change? What happened to the old giving way to new......(APC had won my heart in recent times when their 'change' campaign and the good works of some of their governors especially in each of their first 4 years in power) but this one they just did.........Broke my heart!!!!

If am not mistaking, workers in almost every sector of the economy get retired at age 60 or at most 70 so why should a man who clearly looks tired still be vying for presidency when we have thousands/millions of able and capable younger men who can fill the position and probably do a better job.....are we going forward or backward Is there really any hope for the youths of this great nation.......if we are 'future' when will this future come?

GMB will not be elected to be carrying bags of cement in Aso Rock! He is to spearhead a goverment that will usher in change that the younger generation can build on. GEJ is young but what has been his achievement since almost 6years now? He failed both as deputy governor and governonr yet nobody saw this.

Dont also forget that Late Nelson Mandela became South African President at 76 and his records are yet to be broken.

Finally someone is speaking the truth.....everything you gonna hear Buhari and Jonathan talk about in their campaign are things written for them by their media rep not like those two Zombies know a thing that the average Nigerian(you and me) need.......God help gullible Nigerian youths who still fall for these con artiste.
