The idǐot above me though: What is good about the greedy and selfish old fool getting nominated? A party that has candidates that has been loyal for several years! One Man just came out of the blues and he gets all the advantages JUST because he can BRIBE is way through

This old generation leaders are shameless, GREEDY and a failed generation with zero integrity. Later, they'll be saying children of this day blablabla... Yet, it's their generation that has ruined EVERYTHING!

In NIGERIA, WE HAVE ONLY ONE POLICAL PARTY!
Forget all these useless names:
PDP
APC
Apga etc.

One day Mr.A is in PDP, tomorrow he joins APC etc.

They are all the same with the same useless ideologies and always comes up to the same results = FAILURE!

Unfortunately, 95% of the youth population are also senseless fools.
The only thing an average Nigerian youth does concerning politics is to defend a particular political party out of greed, bigotry, selfishness and ignorance.
And this just to squabble for the leftovers and peanuts the old fool generation leaders throws at them. And when they commission any project after must inflations and stealing, the foolish youths will still be praising them as if they used their personal money to do the project.

It's a shame!
