20yr old Mhairi Black wins British Paliarment seat, youngest MP in 300 years

Mhairi Black, 20 years and 238 days old, has become Britain's youngest Member of Parliament since 1667 after defeating Labour's shadow foreign secretary, Douglas Alexander by 6,000 votes in yesterday's election. Mhairi is a University of Glasgow student studying Politics  and represented the Scottish Nationalist Party. Can this happen in Nigeria? 20 year old?

Even for the post of councillors in my areas they are killing one another let alone house of assembly. Nigeria we hail thee, the day all these old men die, that's d day our victory begins in Nigeira.

    Wow! That is great! The only thing our politicians know how to do is to use the youths who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow as political thugs. That is why Nigeria keeps recycling corrupt leaders because the same people are still in power, with different styles of corrupt practices.

    i weep for nigeria when the likes of buhari and other politician are still contesting at age 72, 66 and above. I asked myself when are we going to get to this stage and the only answer that came to my mind is that we youth need to rise up and take the leadership role by fighting for our right and making positive impact in our society. enough is enough. God bless Nigeria

They will bully her and take advantage of her youth... just watch and see. Oyinbo people are the most cunning and dangerous... if think I'm saying nonsense, go and watch Scandal.
