When you are done compiling the list of presidents who are over 70, you should hurry to compile the lists of presidents who don't have certificates, are senile, can't remember their deputy or electoral bodys names and a renowned for their bloody past. .

-Nelson Mandela did have a certificate
-Definitely senil ( if age is the diagnosis)
-Mis represented the DRC country abbreviation as Dutch Reformed Church
-Was once a revolutionary who blew up targeted Apartheid structures and was arrested while planning to do more
-He was sick as a fact with TB he had picked up as result of cold conditions in jail which later was the same
complications he died of.

Jacob Zuma is uneducated, has grade 2 but has performed better than GEJ if you would care to compare achievements.

People forget that a Presidential role is only of giving direction, confidence and command respect enough that those working with you would do what is required.

Come on Op.. This is Nigeria..
We are saying old men will no longer rule us..
My grandpa should be resting and not ruling, I will take care of him and my father will manage ruling instead.

Pure gold; takes some nerve to put booharis name in the same sentence with madibbas. . Meanwhile as you rightly said, in a normal setting, a presidential role should be about organising and directing especially when proven states infastructures are in place! Here, the job is more tasking physically, intellectually and mentally because those needed infastructures are missing. It is the presidents job to create them. This lanky mallam lacks the intellectual backbone to confront this role with any atom of ingenuity.

Yakubu gowon ruled at age of 34yrs, GMB 1st ruled at d age of 41yrs , tafawa balewa. Was prime minster at 48yrs and many more. Are you now sayin you can't rule Nigeria @ this ur age? Ever since 1960, only 2 graduates has ruled Nigeria (yardua and gej ), S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ you want to drag us back. Wen GMB was tryin to stop imports and rebalance finance, many pple lost their jobs and led to biz closure. GMB is not an economic manager. Use ur senses dt said GMB us the man........ Gej is still the best president produced S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ far...... I have nt clocked 30yrs and I believe I can rule this nation. •̸№ more old cargo , give youth chance also... Vote wise. GmB is not the messiah,

None of the above countries is Nigeria neither is our present turmoil close to theirs.

Even though age is just a number and even though GEJ is messing up, let him collect his own 2nd tenure just like every politician in either governorship or presidential seat have done before now.

Cos everyone is fighting for that seat just to get their own share of the national cake...that's what I believe.

No matter the amount of change you scream, anyone that enters that seat has a selfish purpose in mind whether you like it or not.
Selfless leaders are rare to find these days

The World has 195 recognized Sovereign States( Countries) and you just mentioned 32 that have 70 years and above President, that percentage is 16% ; logically 84% of countries of the world have below 70 year old president.

Why should Nigeria be amongst the 16% when we can be amongst the 84% of the world acceptable ratio of President below 70 years.

And Jonathan at 57 years old is young abi? U guys are unbelievable! Just yesterday u were shouting #bringbackourgirls now u ranting someone does not have certificate... Mind u he does and u know it. All dis ur shouts are just last kicks of a dying horse...

If Mandela was able to rule at is age successfully then age brings experience to leadership.

Being a leader of tomorrow doesn't necessarily translate to political office holder. How have you been fairing as a father/mother in your family? How good are you as an head of a team in your place of work? How much have you contributed to the development of your locality where you reside? What people are saying about you? What is your private and social interaction and how are they affecting people you meet everyday? Youths are leader of tomorrow is just a kind of wise saying. It doesn't translate to holding a political office. That some youths misunderstood the statement is evidence of a failed educational system in a failed society.

None of those presidents are illiterates that dont know the meaning of their electoral commission, dont know the name of their deputy aspirants, dont know the names of their parties and shy away from debates.

APC LIE LIAR MUHAMMAD


APC WITCHCRAFT BROOM CARRYING PARTY

The Schizophrenic demented sick Pa Buhari is a terrorist, deranged old brainless super clueless bastard
Apc is boko haram
Thiefnu.bu is a pedophile drug dealer and a cocain sniffer property seized in the usa for his drug deals.

Buhari can only be president in sambisa and shekau would hand over to him with his forged result.

Osinbajo is fake and a loafer

Amechi and Fashola are errand boys

Ambode new recruit errand boy


Buhari boko haram spiritual head

Atiku and Thiefnu.bu boko haram sponsor


BUHARI Abacha is not corrupt and did not steal .


Muslim brotherhood party APC is the Nigerian version of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Party? Check out this: 1. Party Leader - North: Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Muslim). 2. Party Leader - South: Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Muslim). 3. National Chairman: Abdulkareem Bisi Akande (Muslim). 4. Deputy National Chairman: Aminu Bello Masari (Muslim). 5. National Secretary: Tijjani Musa Tumsah (Muslim). 6. Deputy National Secretary: Nasir El-Rufai (Muslim). 7. National Publicity Secretary: Lai Muhammad (Muslim). 8. National Treasurer: Sadiya Umar Faruq (Muslim) 9. National Financial Secretary: Alhaji Shaibu Musa (Muslim). 10. National Youth Leader: Abubakar Lado (Muslim). 11. National Legal Adviser: Muiz Banie (Muslim). 12. National Deputy Auditor: Bala Jibrin (Muslim). 13. National Women Leader: Sharia Ikeazor (Muslim convert). 14. EX-officio Member: Muniru Muse (Muslim). 15. EX-officio Member: Alhaji Yemi Sanusi (Muslim). Yet, these people want us to believe they are PROGRESSIVES and that APC is a national party. I think APC has a hidden religious agenda..Be guided people!

I don't think age is a factor that sharpens leadership skill. It could build experience, but a bad leader will always be bad irrespective of how old he/she is.
GEJ could be given another chance, but Nigerians are tired of waiting for an absolution that may never come.
Hence GMB. Not because He's seemingly better, but because we are tired of unfulfilled promises
