Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of Nigeria have advised the youth to democratically take leadership from the old politicians  since they are unwilling to quit the stage.

The ex – President, who has spoken on Saturday in Abeokuta, at the Youth Governance Dialogue organised to mark this year’s  International Youth Day,urged the youth to stop complaining, “moaning and agonising”.  He advised them to get ready to fit into  elective offices as there were moves now to lower the age for President, Governor and National Assembly.

”I joined politics from the top. The only position I contested for is President, but I had a track record of achievements, which led to that.
”Nobody will choose you; you have to choose yourself. Why should you have to become president at the age of 40? “Why can’t you become president at the age of 35? Why can’t you become president at the age of 30?
”General Gowon became Head of State at 33. I became Head of State at 39. And it is because of my track record, and thanks to Abacha (the late Gen. Sani Abacha)for putting me in jail.


”Those were the reasons why I had the opportunity to come back as elected President. The point is this -how are you prepared? Are you really prepared?”You should engage in things that will bring about unity and integration. You see yourselves as Nigerians and one family instead of pursuing things that could divide the country,” Obasanjo said.

Some former Heads of State are allegedly searching for President Buhari's replacement ahead of 2019 election. Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar are said to have considered 4 candidates and these

 candidates under consideration include a former governor of Kano and now a serving Senator, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso; current governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; former Cross River governor, Donald Duke and the immediate past governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole (65)They also agreed that the next Nigerian president must be below 70 years of age

The fireworks of 2019 general election have began. Political alignment and realignment are quietly ongoing and will gradually unfold to the shock, surprise, annoyance, joy of many Nigerians depending on affiliations.

Though Nigeria's ailing president, Muhammadu Buhari has not made his stand about running for the second time in office in 2019 or not early feelers, however, indicated that the country’s power brokers and kingmakers are already in search of his successor.

According to The Sun, President Buhari who has been in London for over 50 days on medical vacation may have lost interest in the second term in office and consequently has forced the power brokers out to shop for a new leader to succeed him.

The outcome of the meeting was not disclosed but it was believed then that they met to discuss matters affecting the country in the face of agitations and significantly, health of the president.

However, in a new development, the Sun is now reporting that the discussion of the meeting which was not made public was dominated by President Buhari's successor.

Consequently, the generals had agreed that the next Nigerian president must be below 70 in age but may come from any tribe or region.

A source close to the leaders told the Sun that: “It was agreed that the next president must be under 70, must be a pan-Nigeria personality from any part of the country. Ethnicity and religion must also not be a barrier.”

The source also claimed that "they considered some top politicians who have indicated interest, even though quietly, in the race and they zeroed in on a few they could identify on the spot, who also met their set criteria.
1. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (60)

A former governor of Kano and now a serving Senator. He is 60 years old.

2. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal (51)

The current governor of Sokoto state. He is 51 years old.

3. Donald Duke (55)

A former Cross River state governor. He is 55 years old.

4. Adams Oshiomhole (65)

A 12-year-old rape victim was told by the headmaster of a Christian school "to turn the other cheek" and that "everything in God's kingdom happens for a reason".

The school is being accused of covering up repeated sexual assaults against the boy, downplaying the attacks and refusing to report a rape in a lawsuit that is seeking at least $30m  in damages.



The mother of the boy, who attends Brentwood Academy, a prestigious private school in Williamson County in Tennessee, filed the lawsuit in which she also accuses four eight-grade students, then 14 and 15-years-old, of having repeatedly sexually abused her son when he was in the sixth grade in 2014/15.

In the court documents, the mother of the anonymous victim, named as John Doe, claims the older students would force their genitals in her son's face and mouth and sexually harass him in the school's locker room in front of other students.

One boy allegedly "would place his penis before plaintiff John Doe and forcibly penetrated it into the mouth of John Doe without consenting claiming 'eat it, eat it, eat it, open your mouth, accept it'", the lawsuit alleges.

The same student is also accused of having anally raped the then 12-year-old boy. He allegedly boasted to the basketball team that he "f***d that boy up the ass and stuck a Gatorade bottle in him".

Throughout the academic year, the four students repeatedly intimidated, harassed and bullied John Doe, the lawsuit claims.

When John Doe talked about the incident to the school headmaster Curtis H Masters, he allegedly told him he needed to "turn the other cheek and that "everything in God's kingdom happens for a reason".

He added that staff had been speaking about installing cameras in the locker room and that in the meantime he could change in his office.

When John Doe's mother approached school employee Chris Roberts, a member of Christian counselling ministry Daystar Counselling, he responded: "reporting this may not be the best thing to do.... this isn't how Christian institutions handle these things", the lawsuit claims.

She also met with the school headmaster Masters to report the incidents of bullying and sexual harassment against her son but the court documents claim he allegedly considered that this was a matter of "boys being boys and he could not investigate each of those and run a school".

“Our highest priority is the safety and protection of our students. We take any allegation involving our students very seriously,” Masters said in a statement to local paper The Tennessean.

“We responded immediately and fully cooperated with authorities when we became aware of concerns in 2015.”
