If the young and energetic men find it difficult to pilot the affairs of this great nation, let's give an elderly man of progressive mind (Buhari) the opportunity to steer the activities of this country. If the above listed president could manage their country effectively at their age, I believe Nigeria can't be an exceptional. Vote #GMB2015. 18 Likes 1 Share |

OREMUSSANCTUS: Is Jonathan a youth? Why are you guys deceiving yourselves? Misgovernance, nepotism and weak leadership does not have anything to do with being young or old? Infact older men have demonstrated wisdom and tact in handling issues than younger. Some wisdom keys are learnt through age-long experiences and not only through raw intellect. 3 Likes |

I don't understand why PDP goons are trying all they can to paint GMB's age as an hindrance to performing well. Imagine Fayose on national TV claiming that Buhari's official age is 73 as if he personally signed his birth certificate. It is obvious, we need a change in govt. We need new hands to manage the affairs of this country. We want to have people like Buhari, Osinbajo, Oby Ezekwesili, Fasola, Pat Utomi, Amaechi, etc pilot the affairs of this country. We are tired of Sambo, Dizeanni, Okonjo, Obanikoro, Okupe, Abati, etc they have tried their best. We have seen what they are capable of in the past 5 years we need change! GMB/PYO to the rescue! #Ihavedecided 4 Likes |

OREMUSSANCTUS: Being a leader of tomorrow doesn't necessarily translate to political office holder. How have you been fairing as a father/mother in your family? How good are you as an head of a team in your place of work? How much have you contributed to the development of your locality where you reside? What people are saying about you? What is your private and social interaction and how are they affecting people you meet everyday? Youths are leader of tomorrow is just a kind of wise saying. It doesn't translate to holding a political office. That some youths misunderstood the statement is evidence of a failed educational system in a failed society. 6 Likes 1 Share |

1. While you have listed ages here you didn't take into consideration the population of those countries. You have no idea what a complex task it is to run a large country like Nigeria. Countries like Cuba you listed there is just like one local government (LGA) in Nigeria. A good student randomly pulled from university of Nigeria Nsuka can rule Cuba successfully. 2. You never also tell us whether any of those presidents was an illiterate like Buhari. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Awolowo were highly educated people. Their educational qualification was their selling point unlike Buhari who have nothing to show academically. 1 Like 2 Shares |

optimusprimer: The World has 195 recognized Sovereign States( Countries) and you just mentioned 32 that have 70 years and above President, that percentage is 16% ; logically 84% of countries of the world have below 70 year old president. Why should Nigeria be amongst the 16% when we can be amongst the 84% of the world acceptable ratio of President below 70 years. 2 Likes |

How intelligent were those elders when they were young, intelligence diminishes as one gets older. Buhari was never intelligent, it takes more than saying, I am not corrupt to lead a nation. It takes wisdom, knowledge, strength and many more. Never a time I have heard APC campaigning on these qualities. In 1984, Buhari termed shagari regime as corrupt, which improvement did he bring? nothing. It takes a lot to be the president of a country, and Buhari is far from being the right person. President Jonathan is just beginning to find his rythm now and you want us to spend another 4 years experimenting again with Buhari. Buhari has lost touch of the reality and should stop this nonsense. If he is so good, let him start off an NGO and promote his corrupt free society, or better still, make himself available for the post of EFCC Boss and prove to us that he's got the strength and passion for our their country. 1 Like |
