[size=15pt]Is it not funny that while the rest of the developed world look to younger people to lead them, Nigeria is still looking up to Septuagenarian to be their leader. One Naijeria!!!

One is not therefore too surprised at the pace of development though.[/size]

That's the difference between
I bought a new car and I bought
a car newly. So no surprise

So

How old are Obasanjo, Buhari, Babagida et al when they rule Nigeria during the military regime. I know age is a factor but I don't consider it major!
When we have a stable govt that's when, I think, we need young hands especially as President. At some point, USA also voted in 69yrs old as President.

USING OLD WINE BOTTLE TO HOLD NEW WINE ... B U R S T S!!!

The French Canadians have wrestled power from the English Canadians.

Nigeria could have voted for a fellow younger than their former president, if not for integrity issue.

Old wine tastes better

US's Democratic Party's Presidential aspirant and frontrunner:
Hillary Clinton is 68
Bernie Sanders is 74

US VP Joe Biden also expected to make his intention for running for president known soon, is 73

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is 69

age is just numbers dear OP

the young politicians too have disappointed us:
Dimeji Bankole
Salisu Ibrahim
Andy Uba
what are their stories between 1999 and 2007?

The old have refused to retire, denying the young from governance and most youths don't have the financial power necessary to scale through political hurdles in Nigeria.

This will pass too and the time for the young to govern beckons.

Which of Nigerian youth should we elect as leader ?
.Timaya?
the last young leader was a total failure

the stupid ojukwu that caused the death of 3million b iafrans and SSerns was how old

yakubu gowon was how old?? barely 29!!

Hilary Clinton, Donald trump, Joe Biden etc are how old mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww

This argument is about 4 months too late. Try again in 2023.

Perhaps that is also the reason why we have man marrying man, mothers sexing up with their daughters in such climes.

Age is important but not a major factor.

We had a youth at the helms of affairs in the last administration, but what do we get? A clueless one, massive plundering of national treasury which in itself is indicative of bad governance. So what gives?

Before you people start another one see the list of living Prime Ministers of the Same Canada

Kim Campbell 1993 10 March 1947 (age 68)

Jean Chrétien 1993–2003 11 January 1934 (age 81)

Paul Martin 2003–2006 28 August 1938 (age 77)

They have elected a capable youth today, it does not mean they will not elect a capable age tomorrow.

Thank u. Age is just but a factor among many other factors. It is highly senseless to use age as the sole factor in electing a president.

So?? Inferiority complex na him u dey suffer frm. We tried a youth, dat failed us badly. B4 going dat way.

Thank you my brother. The wailing wailers (chaii, this Femi Adesina sabi give people na sha) will not stop wailing until they breathe no more. We elected an averagely aged man called Jonathan Goatluck, see what he did, he gave all our money to fine fine light skinnned women, Deizaini Maduekwe, Arumah Oteh, Stella Oduah, Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla for cosmetics.
