subject: Welcome, New Nigeria [print this page] So, I say again, younger Nigerians deserve a better chance. As the 2011 general elections in Nigeria draw closer, we can start by looking at the ages of the men who are coming to rule Nigeria. While not disregarding the wisdom that age and experience bring, there is also need to consider the vibrancy and agility of youth. Nigerians can indeed insist that no one above the age of 60 gets access to the presidency of this country. For God's sake, let these old tired bones go and rest. Where are the younger generation of Nigerians who are championing noble causes in every field in the present century? Let them be given the opportunity to contribute their quota in the governance of this country before they get too old to make any impact. This is a new Nigeria, and the future that the youths have always looked forward to is now.
