Oo Nwoye

We have never advocated that it's the silver bullet to all of our problems. But for a youth-focused movement, it is one of the factors against quality youth participation in politics.

How on earth has it stopped youth participation? Is it until a child born in 1999 can run for President that youth participation will increase? Calculate your age in 2019. How has the current constitution stopped you from being active? I don't like distractions. This is one.

If I wanted to run for a legislative office in 2015, it would have stopped me. I was less than 30 then.

And except you could run for House of Representatives you would not be interested in participating in politics? Say working with someone running for that's office or Senate (your age bracket) and get first hand experience before coming of age?

Political participation doesn’t need any kind of legislation. Young people need to get involved in party activities RIGHT NOW. If you can’t, support someone who can.

Many already do that, and want to be able to run. No harm in allowing them run.

Last year, I bought 10 forms for young men and women in my state running for LGA positions, with a seed fund for campaigns. They all won. Young political hopefuls should learn to pi dj their ambitions too. Elections are like ventures, and most ventures are backed by investors.

Please... I am not hiding it. I want to run and I can start from LGA level and take it from there. I am young man. Who and what I am and stand for can be found here... http://www.eurekaposts.com .
