All these "records" mean zilch.

At age 20, it's doubtful she can make any concrete contributions to the parliament.

25 years old, few years after first degree, maybe, but still not advisable.

30 - 40 years old is what i believe is the appropriate age for a youthful representative... tertiary education completed + some life experiences + young age (fresh perspectives)

The wisdom of ageism!
Let me tell you, dear sage, your notion that a 20-year-old cannot contribute meaningfully to parliament is a hilarious relic of a bygone era. Youth is not synonymous with ignorance. In fact, research suggests that younger brains are more adaptable, and more innovative. But hey, who needs science when we have your expertise, right?

You then went ahead with your nonsense assertion that a few years after a first degree, maybe, just maybe, someone might be worthy of a seat at the table is condescending, to say the least. Do you know what someone with a fresh perspective, unjaded by the cynicism of age, can bring to the table?

And please, spare me the "life experiences" talk. As if the only valid experiences are those accumulated by wrinkling one's face and graying one's hair. What about the experiences of a young adult, grappling with the challenges of their generation? Are those not valid or valuable enough?

This arbitrary age brackets are nothing more than a flimsy excuse to dismiss the potential of an entire generation. I'll have you know, some of the most impactful contributions to history were made by individuals in their 20s. Need I remind you of Alexander the Great, Mary Shelley, or Steve Jobs?

So, no, every sane person won't be swayed by your patronizing views on youth and leadership. The truth is, age is not a determinant of wisdom, and it's time you folk stopped perpetuating that myth.

South African blacks are super lucky


See how white South Africans built a working country with solid foundation for them?

Nigerians it is time we start a program to attract White people from Germany, Australia, Norway, etc into Nigeria to become citizens.


If we are able to get 5 million pure European whites to become naturalized Nigerians, believe me things will begin to turn around for Nigeria in few years to come.


We can amend our constitution to reserve some key positions for their best. Positions like:

Chief Justice of Nigeria
Inspector General of Police
INEC Chairman
President of Court of Appeals
Chief of Army Staff
Commissioner of Police
Chief of Justice of States
CBN Governor
Minister of Finance

NSNO:


Oga shift,

If you don't have anything to contribute, rest.

franchasofficia:
USA did it and it's one of the reasons they are the greatest country on earth.


Canada is doing it via Express Entry and other high skilled migrant programs.


Many great countries did it but here is a black man thinking foolishly that he can do all even when he knows his weakness

NSNO:

What about Japan or China? These countries are very homogeneous yet prosperous.

Oga you just feel inferior that's why you are like this.

I'd like you to read guns, germs and steel so you that you can cure your ignorance.

Thank you.

franchasofficia:
They learned from Europeans.

And these countries are not black skin people.


They have similarity with whites. You won't understand because you are still in basic human education of probably university degree or msc, when you study higher and do more research about humans you will understand our flaws as blacks without ego

NSNO:

First of all, which field of study gave you empirical evidence that Africans are inferior?

Please be as specific as possible.

CrossRhodes:

Your opinion.....

franchasofficia:
What is the meaning of "inferior"? Who said Africans are inferior? This is where you blacks get it wrong.

I never said Africans are inferior.

In life, every human have his area of competitive advantage.

Some humans are good in high jump while others in long jump, another in football, others in weight lifting. Some are expert in boxing, others are in singing. While some are amazing dancers, etc, etc, that is how this works.


Glaring everyday evidences abound all over the world to prove that black people are not as gifted in certain areas of life as the white folks.

Blacks lack leadership skills when compared to whites. Yes some blacks may have exceptional leadership skills like the whites but it's not common among blacks, so we are looking at the majority, the dominant factor.


Whites are more gifted in science, technology and innovation than blacks. Remember, some blacks are also gifted in this area but they are few and not the majority when compared to whites.


I can go on and on, but we all know the truth that without white people, this world would have been unliveable for us, let's try and be honest and appreciate the truth.

Accepting your weakness is not a weakness but a greater form of intelligence and the number one step towards finding a working solution.

Knowing your weakness and refusing to accept it is one of the greatest form of foolishness and arrogance which can also be classified as senseless egocentrism.


Are blacks inferior to whites or any other race? NO! But white people do have some enviable traits we blacks lack and that is why they have been the race championing global innovation and advancement in virtually all fields of life, I cherish white people a lot.



I know I may still end up having a mixed breed child with a pure Caucasian woman, maybe because I so much love to whites for their innovation and advancement

LegallyBlunt:
Absolute rubbish.

Elsueno:


Actually, I quite agree with MartinCorridon....A few young people have tried something similar abroad...but majority of them end up being a disaster. politics unlike other fields is more of cunningness & manipulation.. Unfortunately young people in the early 20s are the easier to manipulate. I believe the best YOUTHFUL presentation is from the late 20s to 40s.

mrvitalis:

People get PhD at 17 but you think it's mere parliamentary discussion that a 20 year old wont be able to do?

By 20 I was almost a graduate in my final year
