Good move. There is also need to make laws limiting cost of campaigns and purchasing of forms to create more opportunity for more people to participate comfortably in elections. The law should state an amount forms should be sold and an amount of money one must not exceed as campaign expenses. My thought stems from the fact that much of the reasons there is corruption in political offices is because people spend out themselves and even borrow to fund campaigns, and when they win they use the first two years to replace their expenses and repay loans and the remaining two years will be used in saving for second term. In the end, the person can not do anything for those that elected him. Again, it is the high cost of campaign that lead people to making campaigns a do or die affair, when you spend all your money contesting and remembers you have borrowed money and you see yourself loosing the election, of course, many would go as far as conceiving murdering their opponent. It is also the root cause of godfatherism. When you have spent all you have, and it takes you nowhere in your campaign, one rich capitalist will come and invest by sponsoring you, and when you win, he would reap his investment 20 times and in the end, the electorates get nothing for their votes. It is one thing reduce eligibility by age and another thing to limit expenses during elections.

No law or provision can go contrary to the constitution which provides for the ages per office mentioned.

then there is need to scrap that away from civic education in other not to mislead the future generations if at all our generation as been decieved ..

I support the newly recommended ages. 18 years is so young an age for one to be entrusted with so much responsibilities.

It will be much better to increase the educational qualification for a post from the abysmally low qualification of the SSCE to Bsc/HND with an addendum that the individual MUST aspire for further education. Most likely a PhD or an MBA.

The profile of the deputy prime minister of Singapore. PM Lee Hsien Loong went to Cambridge University and came out with a First Class in mathematical science and computer science. One of the few world leaders who can confidently code.

Our would be leaders need to be educated rationally, and a secular education at that.
One country that has such is Singapore where over 90% of its political office holders possess a higher degree other than their first degree and from Ivy league schools. Where is Singapore today?

Leadership does not really require extensive education. Good leadership itself is a very distinct trait without which very well educated people may still fail to lead adequately. All these restrictions are not necessary because at the end of the day if the people want an illiterate child to rule them then it means there is something special about that child.

The more reason Nigeria is the way it's.
Are you sure you didn't read through the link up there? His qualifications? Achievements? Milestones? Service to his nation? Ideas? Developmental projects?

the legend of Lagos being a no man's land has been confirmed.


check the name of the guy representing Lagos at abuja

IMHO this bill favours the elite and not the common man. Lower age means children of the powerful men will have easier access to leadership positions since they are the ones with the financial prowess and connections to seek whatever elective positions even at the age of 18.

A Welcome Development.

The next revolution in Nigeria will not be that of politicians,capitalists or the elites,it will be a youth revolution.
