7 photos of top Nigerian politicians looking young back in the days
Legit.ng presents photos of a number of politicians when they were young. In these pictures, the political gurus we know can be seen to have gone through several phases while growing up and getting groomed for the future.
In Nigeria, politicians are usually deemed to be old and well stricken in years. But admittedly, these political giants were once young, spritely and energetic. In fact, while they pursued their dreams of freeing Nigeria and taking over its democratic reins, they lived their lives the way every young fellow would.
For one, dead political legends like Nnamdi Azikwe, Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo achieved great things as young studs. They played sports, accomplished some athletic feats and mingled.
Others also got married and rapported well with their wives. It is surprising that the same politicians we know today in Nigeria rocked their world during their younger years.
