Oyetan.

This is a humourous Yoruba chieftancy title that means 'there are no more untaken titles'.

Oyetan. The flip side of this title implies the 'dearth of worthy 'character'' (mind the pun). There will always be leadership roles to be played but the austerity of quality individuals will always rubbish that position. This is the all-time tragedy of the Nigeria experience.

The biggest failure of leadership, like humanity, is the inability to reproduce replacements. Few Nigerian (political and economic) leaders, if any, mentor others. They come. They go. They put stooges because they prime loyalty against character and competence, and the orb goes in bits.

This is our nemesis. With over 70% of Africa's presidents above age 70, it goes to tell that we are too scared to brood change. And doomed we are!

I see young men and women on our streets and at work everyday. Smart, brilliant, cool- and like they say, upwardly mobile, but too afraid and too indifferent about political power. The future never looks bright that way! Younger people must aspire to political offices. Fellow young people MUST help support that ideology and drive it.

For now, for the Nigerian youths, the chieftancy well befitting is 'Oyetan'.

There may not be any election afterall.Nigeria is a sinking ship. The only possibility I see is Osibanjo sitting there in 8 years time.

Buhari's mortality is ticking real fast these days.

So as yours

Anything aside Osinbanjo, I am not part of it.

He always seems to be around all the time but never wins. Do you think the forces against him will still not prevail this time?

Not until OBJ dies, Atiku will never seat on the throne.

He is free to continue smelling it

If only Donald Duke will contest. i will vote for him 100%

inconsequential opinion

Speaking from someone with weird signature.

If Buhari dies, let his Ghost contest. Aso Rock na their property.

As much as I'm not a fan of Tinubu If he shows interest I'll vote for him. Though he stole in Lagos he still worked.

Stealing/corruption will take decades to leave Nigeria. So when choosing someone corrupt I'll rather one with a history of performance.

Else I'll be voting for KOWA.
The likes of Tambuwal, Saraki, El Rufai. A big NO

If

If Buhari doesn't run

So if he runs, people will still vote for him

A country with citizens born to suffer.

maclatunji:

The same was said of Buhari.

No one who has been involved in the FG over the past 18 years should run.

No one who has administered a state with more than 50% illiteracy should run.

Let Donald Duke and another run.

ATIKU IS ALREADY THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

WHO IS GOING TO STOP HIM? OBA OF LAGOS OR OBJ OR YORUBA AGBERO?

ATIKU IS NOT GEJ, HE IS AN HAUSAFULANI MAN FROM THE NORTH.

EVEN MORE DANGEROUS, THE OIL RICH REGION OF THE SS/SE SEEM TO LIKE HIM.

God! Invalids plenty for nairaland

If his health improves President Buhari will contest and win with less stress.
Within the first 2 years to his 2nd tenure, he will wage the fiercest battle against corruption and other people that are taken his silence for granted, after which he'll resign to allow the VP to continue.

Any party that decides to use Atiku for the next presidential aspirant will only fail woefully, a new young vibrant Northerner will make headlines.

They have used the broom to sweep their future not mine

Looking at the horizon, there is no formidable contender for 2019. What remains are tested and corruption-indicted politicians. Nigeria has no room for corrupt politicians again. We have all learnt our lesson.

PMB does not need to campaign for next election. We have all agreed to keep him in the presidency and God has honoured our collective agreement. Otherwise, we will import a president.

please show me how to do this cancelation cos is better to cancel some of their trashes like this. Thanks

Osibanjo/Ribadu or Peter Obi would make sense

This country should just break up for God's sake

The one wey dey our mouths we never chop am finished, to swallow am self na wahala, all the bitter pill wey dem pack give us still dey for table dey looks. for eye I beg make hear words, if we reach 2019 we go cross am

Its me.....MARKSULE

We need a foreign president to put things in order. More like having a foreign coach like Clemens westahof as super eagles coach.

Alhaji tekno.

So, apart from running mouth online that PMB will be defeated in 2019, it's even this tough naming just someone capable of winning an election even without him contesting!

Those mentioning Atiku should just forget that expensive play. If Atiku ever becomes president, the looting of JEG's era will be a child's play.

I pray My beloved country NIGERIA wake the F'up, when 2019 reach, we need a young intelligent and up to date candidate that can drive the country to the right direction and not no Atiku, or anyone from that set of class.... neutral candidate that have a good heart for the country, Naija people wake up and stop praise all this criminals that you people like to worship to much, when they come yankee i swear they all they humble expect for nigeria they tor with you guys, for real.

momentarylapse:
Yes I agree with you my bitter alobam Buhari is a terrorist
