20-year-old Scottish Student Emerges As Britain Youngest Lawmaker

When I saw this news, the first thing that came to my mind was the thought of the 60 to 75 years old Nigerian politicians who have refused to either relinquish power or die to pave way for younger and fresher generations to rule the nation.

UK has a youth friendly parliament and constitution as well as old men who respect their old ages. That is why the 20-year-old Mhairi Black fought her way through as the British youngest lawmaker since 1667. 

Prior to his victory, the youngest lawmaker ever in the British parliament was Christopher Monck who assumed the office at a very young age of 13 in 1667.
He is a true leader of tomorrow.

Nigeria needs serious prayers and orientation to achieve such a great feat.


The just concluded British general elections also put smiles on the faces of Nigerians in the diaspora as four Nigerians won four Parliament seats.
