On this point Obj is right,but my problem is can youths of today engage in such act hmmm,time will tell.
My point is since all our generation seems not to understand that is not only in the government we need to change but all the system.
As long as your daddy in the lord and Imam is right,so his the people in the government.
But religious leaders and people in government needing get rid off.

Gowon, Muritala, Obasanjo, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha ruled this country as youths. Not mentioning some military Governors who ruled in their 20's. Our problem is not about youth being in charge but total emacipation from mental, phisical and spiritual slavery!

Somehow, I think yhu are right but can yhu compare the youths then with ours.


Back then, the guys yhu mentioned were focused and understood leadership. They were not seen hanging their trousers behind their waist and forming malian around.

They weren't carried away with BBN and only making noise on SM, no, they got involved in the system. In fact, most of them fought their way through to get there.

Amotolongbo:
Did you read the last part where he talked about the party structure which will work in favor of the youth?

These present old generation leaders were youth when they took over, and they don’t wanna leave. The same way these youth will be when they seize power from them.

Another problem we have in Nigeria is that after these youths have successfully taken the power from the old generation, they will also end up seating tight and prevent the next youth generation from taking over by manipulating and reviewing the same constitution that brought them in, to their favor and against the next generation.

Selfishness is everyone’s watchword in Nigeria

you for let the fool drown in his foolishness

when he was there he didn't want anyone to talk at all not to talk of advising people to wrestle power from himself,shiooor.
Believe the politicians at your own peril,when things don't go their way,they tend to destroy.

This is the deep and true.

Given the kind of responses to this post here by the youth, am not confident they will do better

But that must be after the YOUTHS have PRESSURIZED BUHARI TO GRANT APREC-AUTONOMOUS POLICING RESOURCING AND ELECTIONEERING CONTROL TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES.

nairaland YOUTH? mba!

Baawaa:
After you spoiled everything

Can u just focus on the message and leave the messenger?

We can't move with such mindset. Una just dey make things tire person.

Let's face what we have at hand ... Same thing APC is doing, keep blaming PDP, measuring acheivement with PDP

Can we ever live pass this

The man is close to dying so don't be surprised to see him advising such

Agbaya, could they try that with you when you were there. Wouldn't you have ordered their total massacre. God gave you all the opportunities to make things right by creating your fear in people's heart hence opportunity to make things right but you blew it up. Agbaya

Collect the message and leave the messenger. Obasanjo said well.

They never busy finish with online social media ranting

Which youths is he talking about?? The truth is we have very very FEW responsible youths. So it’s not enough to say youths bt also mention the types of youths Ure are talking about or referring too.

There are youths who can take this country to worse places than Buhari or Jonathan so pls let’s me more specific when we talk about youths pls.


This country and politics shud be run by smart and credible individuals not necessarily youths.

Individuals can be old or young. That is my stand on true development. It doesn’t have to be a youth bt youths must demand credible leadership from our leaders whether such leaders are elders or youths.

Sadly what some youths are busy doing is selling their loyalty and mortgaging their future to dirty politicians so which youths are we really talking about and hoping on.

OBJ's hypocrisy is unprecedented. It stinks.

ipobarecriminals:
wic 8 yrs wasted?

Google it now.

Who is this man

This man makes point but amongst leaders that cripple Nigeria.but his idea is genuine,we the youth must agreed in one voice to disengage or exist old leaders from office.As there exists the Npowers who majority voted for them during their promises of permanency if we voted for them in 2019.but today the story change.Telling the youth there are nothing,can't occupied any public positions. enough is enough.in Nigeria evey youth supposed to be given the same benefits the president child or governor son or daughter received.

I must also immediately add as much as I like obasanjo he is being abit hypocritical even tho to his credit I think he did try to bring in youths and youthful minds to active positions in his administration than many other talking of the EFCC boss, FFK, NOI, CBN Governor soludo and a few others bt then yet very few were below their 40’s Probably cos many youths below this age range are yet to prove their capacity or Smtn due to the Nigerian structure and system which sets youths backwards unlike it used to be in those days.

Bt telling youths to kick out the old generation just like that is obj saying what he himself cannot take or implement if given the opportunity. Only Saraki backed up his words with actions in supporting the youths for politics.

OBJ will have to do more than Mere “TALKING” which we have been hearing for decades anyways

The call is never too late, though the messenger may be one of the assailants but we should all embrace the message and act on it.

COVID-19 is doing that already but on a more serious note, we should also be weary of this new generation because, they have learnt a lot of appalling things and megalomania from the older folks.
Don't think the youths, once they are voted in will usher in a Utopia that is filled with milk and honey.

The ugly fu...cker didnt say this when he was relevant.

Useless old man!

We the Nigerian youths can't do shiit.

We're too weak and fragile

Comments here shows how backward some youths are. They've messed up. Okay. What next?

What about you? Where you young when you were president? Obasanjo and others please leave the country alone.

look at this old man that marched soldiers to udi and zaki biam . who gave you the moral compass to talk to the youths

The problems of this generation are the youths. The problems of the youths are the youths themselves. Just read some of their comments. It is true that Obasanjo falls short of our expectations in some areas but should we now be referring to that when we are supposed to do things that will move us forward. Can we go back to the past to correct those things? No! We need to move forward.
