I know the man personally. He is from Oguta in Imo state.
Rochas did not nominate him. He was hand picked by PMB.

He was Appeal Court Judge and gave the minority report in favour of PMB when PMB ran against OBJ in 2003.

Justice Sylvanus Nsofor was approached by the then ANPP but he rebuffed all gifts saying he did what he felt was right. From then, PMB was awed by his sincerity and dedication to the truth.

Justice Nsofor is however older than the figure 82 tagged him but he is sound. I know this because he is my late Dad's age mate and were friends. He is as straight as a pole, is not swayed by money or power and values a good name.
Thanks for the information.
Cheers.

How do you mean?
What exactly do you want the youths to do?

The youth are to be blamed for the madness. Most of us are either chasing after women, or doing Yahoo or getting paid by the grandpas to defend their madness on social media.

Taking their rightful place in the scheme of things rather than being tools in the hands of corrupt politicians. It is just a wake up call

What is their "rightful place"?
What exactly do they have to do in order to take "their rightful place"?
Who is holding them back from "taking their rightful place"?
Why do you think that they are not already in "their rightful place" as full fledged "corrupt politicians" in their own right?

Is Ben Bruce the senator for YOUR own senatorial district?
Have you petitioned whoever is the senator representing you in the Red Chambers of our NASS to "see this one"?
If you have not, what/who are you waiting for to do so far you?

Na true you talk.
So what can we do about it?
Shall we redouble our efforts to identify, shame and call out the youths who demonstrate such attitude and behaviour that is inimical to the desire of "taking their rightful place" of sacking the corrupt politicians?

This is the kind of country we have, tell me what an 82 yrs. man is looking for again in life that he has not gotten.This another avenue to use him to actualize one selfish aim of his masters so where. When we have young men who are energetic and strong to do this work, yet we prefer to use man going closer to his grave. may be he is looking for a national burial. How can the young grow with this type of witch craft they are practicing.
Re: Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor: Senate Confirms 82-Year-Old Ambassadorial Nominee by ema2017: 11:38am On Jun 08, 2017
there are no more youth in the country that they have to confirm 82year old. this country is a failed state and nothing is working. until there is a strong revolution against this old politician this nonsense can never stop
Re: Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor: Senate Confirms 82-Year-Old Ambassadorial Nominee by dallyemmy: 11:42am On Jun 08, 2017
Who is holding their hands to vote during election?
Who told them the political offices are for the older people?
Who blindfolded them from knowing their rights?
Who blocked their mouths from speaking up?
Who is preventing them from coming together to form political party?

What have you done to make the "revolution against THESE old politicianS" happen?
Or are you waiting for someone else to make it happen while hoping that he will not collect his just rewards?

What are you looking for that you have not gotten?
What is this work, for which he has been nominated, that needs "energetic and strong young men"?
Thanks

The last time senate rejected this 82 year old was when they referred to his age and he retorted by referring to Mugabe's age
This is where I would have been impressed if the Igbo's here in naira land come out and condemn this appointment by Buhari unless there is no younger person actually qualified in Imo state, the truth is bitter guess no body is qualified from that state other than this my grandfathers age mate.
Even if he was my father's age mate I would have screamed blue murder but yet the Igbo's of Imo state in particular the youths fall my hand

You obviously don't understand that the same Mugabe was a "noise making freedom fighter" against British rule and the rule of "independent", racist and white minority government of Ian Smith in Rhodesia before they won true independence in 1980?
Redeem yourself from the sin of perishing for lack of knowledge, please.
Freedom fighters belong in the jungle. Not in leadership (mandela is the only exception). Everyone of them has lead african countries to misery. Everyone. So shove your knowledge up your own arse

another ibo man sent to an embassy where ibo drug dealers will start congregating to get passports and travel documents when in trouble!

Check what happened when they put some ibo diplomats in Thai embassy, the embassy became drugs hangout!

His been pious and straight should make him reject this kind of "Greek gift"

Faith and integrity doesn't only give one the ability to accept, it also gives us the power to say No... Learning to say no without explaining yourself

If he goes there and dies in active service, what becomes of his integrity?
