In Nigeria, we are good at recycling our politicians.. Even those that have been there since 1960 are still making themselves relevant to the detriment of the younger generations. The retiring age in Civil Service is either 60 years or 35 years in service. But some of our politicians as old as 80 years don't deem it necessary to retire. A good example is what we are experiencing at the National Conference were the likes of Chief Edwin Clark, Richard Akinjide etc are members. Do you support the suggestion that we should fix an age limit for politicians to retire from politics in Nigeria..Yes Or No? In Nigeria, we are good at recycling our politicians..

Instead of all these old g grand papas bring in what they applied in the 1960s,70s,80s and 90s that wrkd then and expecting that it will still work with this generation.

ReplyDelete1985, IBB was the president of Nigeria and our teachers told us that Buhari was the former Head of state. Our teacher also called us "the leaders of tomorrow" 27 years later, IBB and Buhari are still contesting for Presidency.
ReplyDeleteIts either our teacher lied to us about being the leaders of tomorrow. Or tomorrow is yet to come. Who's fooling who?🙉
