🚨 Is Nigerian Politics Only for the Rich? | Can Young People Afford to Lead?

What does it really cost to run for office in Nigeria? From nomination forms worth millions to hidden campaign expenses, this episode of The Breakdown with PLAC Podcast exposes the harsh reality young Nigerians face in politics. In this thought-provoking conversation, PLAC interns supported by the European Union under the EU-SDGN II Programme break down the financial, structural, and cultural barriers preventing youth participation in governance. Key Questions Explored: Can an average young Nigerian truly afford to run for office? Is politics designed to exclude young people? Does money determine leadership in Nigeria? What reforms can reduce the cost of politics? Is it time for a “Not Too Broke To Run” policy? 💡 The conversation goes beyond money—highlighting poverty, societal expectations, political structures, and policy gaps that continue to limit youth inclusion. 📊 With comparisons to countries like Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa, this episode challenges Nigeria’s political system and calls for urgent reforms in party financing, electoral processes, and governance culture. ⚠️ Key Insight: If leadership remains expensive, Nigeria risks recycling the same political class leaving millions of capable young leaders behind. 📢 This is more than a podcast, it’s a call to action. 👉 Watch, share, and join the conversation on building a system where competence not wealth defines leadership. #PLACPodcast #YouthInPolitics #NigeriaDecides #GoodGovernance #ElectoralReform #Democracy #EUinNigeria #SDGN #PoliticsInNigeria #CivicEngagement #Leadership #AfricaRising
