First of all Oga barca, where do u belong sef cuz i no understand u again oooo. Support Buhari yday, attack him today.

And ur earlier assertion finally came to past, its not peculiar to Buhari and APC to make a promise and after elaborate deliberation and careful analysis you discover its not attainable, do you foolishly go ahead and keep that promise cuz you don't want to be criticized or you face the reality and declare that its no more attainable. There's nothing wrong with that.

I can't say much about other people, but I as a person, that's what i voted for in Buhari, sincerity and straightforwardness. Facing the reality instead of telling lies, looking for cover ups and giving excuses which is known with PDP.

As earlier stated, its not peculiar to the APC and Buhari, its always part of us. To make projections and plan based on that projection and later suspend/modify or totally do away with such plan are all part of every Organisation and Establishments.

Thank God he didn't deny that such promise was made, he wasn't trying to give cover ups and as well he wasn't giving excuses, he went straight to the point. So there's no problem with that at all.

We've analysed things, so many people criticized the viability of the policy and what resultant improvement it'll bring to the entire social economic system, my only support for the program was based only on the fact that it has been promised. If not for that 1.5trn will go a long way in fixing our dilapidated infrastructure, is it road, power, rail or even security etc.

You are correct, you had deeper thought, kudos to you, but still it doesn't in anyway deduct from the confidence reserve we have for this administration and Buhari himself

oduastates:
Ideas floated during a campaign does not necessarily mean policy.
It gives you a window into the campaign's priorities and gauge their engagement.
While some are realistic, others are not . A direct welfare program is destined to fail because we simply lack the mechanism and institutions to make them succeed. Starting from a database of who is unemployed to ghost recipients . Even Countries with advanced institutions have welfare policies that are plagued by fraud.


Also in a country with so many people with a sense of entitlement and very few taxpayers, you can expect civil disobedience if the government ever became incapable of paying the money after starting the program.

TonyeBarcanista:
My Thought On Recent Development
I sympathise with millions of Nigerians that thumb-printed for President Buhari at the March 28 Presidential poll because of the prospect of "free" N5,000 monthly. And I believe that both Muhammadu Buhari and the APC owe these disappointed voters apology if they have any shred of honour in them.

Though I've never wished nor prayed for the failure of APC and Buhari, it has always been my position that this APC government has positioned itself on the path of failure. It is a shame that the party and government would deliberately play on the psyche of gullible Nigerians just because of power.


... To The "Blame Oil Price Fall Crew"
The price of crude oil started falling in June 2014 when Buhari was yet to even pick APC Nomination form. As at December 2014, the price of crude oil had dropped from $100 to $65 per barrel. As at March 28, 2015, the dollar had fallen further to $60 per barrel. So the oil price fall did not start in Fabruary 2016. It will be illogical and inappropriate to blame oil price for this. In fact, even when oil was at $120pb, Nigeria still borrow to fund some budgetary obligation.







May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

Spybradd:

DMerciful:
To be sincere, a state where the populace have basic electoral knowledge, it will be difficult to scam them with frivolous and unrealistic promises like these but in Nigeria the masses lack basic electoral knowledge! Else they would have vehemently asked how these promises will be fulfilled but instead they even accepted nepabill as certificate. Enjoy your change but painfully I was dragged along

lolzz. our comments must have pained u seriously. take heart... Nigeria go better my brother

So anyone who is engaged in democratic discourse and shares his opinion on how things should get better is receiving egunje from a political party, right?
Yet, you complain about corruption that the politicians use to pay such egunje, nor be so?
You obviously do not know what you are talking about and its wide implications.

Looking At Buhari's Proposal
With Buhari's proposed N1.89tr Social program, it
invariably means an additional N1.89trn will be
added to the projected deficit of N1.29 trn ie
N3.187trn if he is to go ahead with paying of
N5000 to 25 million unemployed annually, from
where will he be able to make up the HUGE
deficit?.

THE SO CALLED BARCANISTA IS A BIG JOKER.
any reasonable JSS3 student will not find it difficult to understand that the deficit of 2015 and 2016, aside the social program can never be of the same. any reasonable Nigerian who is not alien to d recent developments would have understand that even if 2015 and 2016 budgets are as stated by barcanista, the budget deficit will not be 3.187trn considering the various sources of revenue by the new administration eg, the TSA which brings about 2trn into the new yr budget, the stamp duty, the increase custom revenue report etc. barcanista has just put up organized pieces of rubbish for the gullibles.

further more, teacher barcanista don't even understand that the social security program is not the function of 2015 budget but 2016 budget and until the budget is passed, one cannot clearly say that the president has failed in his promise.

funlord:





Nigerians did not vote for buhari because of N5000k! They voted for him because they were sick and tired of the 16 years of directionless, corruption laden, recycle based and incompetent leadership provided by your sorry party the pdp! The last administrations gigantic flaws helped to accelerate the process thanks to ebele and his _moronic pals!



Nigerians wanted to move in a new direction and at least attempt to save their country from all sorts of bandits and certain doom so stop trying to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it!

My dear, ease your frustration. There's no doubt you were among the zombies scammed during the campaign period.

Nigerians put PMB in office to do what's best for Nigeria regardless of your usual pointless and thoughtless #PDPhouseOfhunger gyration...

Nigerians kicked jona out of office and elected PMB because of institutionalized looting, stealing, corruption and incompetence, not because of your silly 5000 naira..

Stop boring us with your sociopathic worries..

caprini1:
But lordy.......just this week someone in the senate just blew over 300m to buy cars.....the looting hasn't stopped,has it?

tuale4u:
Those promises were made at $100 dollar oil. Not realistic at $30 dollar oil. Leadership must evaluate its decisions at every moments.
Kudos PMB. Yes it is a failed promise. But it is better to made d right decision even though it may lead to failed promises. Even though oil price have started falling during the election, it was still above $60 then which is twice what it is today.

This post is not to defend PMB. This post is to support him for making the right decision. I never agree to the 5000 naira stipend to unemployed graduate. It would have be a waste. But 5000 naira for the most vunerable 1million nigerians (Mostly widows and physically challenge) is welcome if we can fund it. 5k to unemployed graduate is a no no no.

PMB did not deny the promise was made despite the fact that he never personally made d promise. He is only saying on his scale of preference, that is not among top priority. PMB is a firm and sincere leader. He speak his mind straight up. No president in the world including United State of America, have ever succeeded in fulfilling all campaign promises.

At every point in time, a leader must evaluate what he consider most important to d nation and make a bold decision. Leadership is dynamic. It is better to be criticise for not achieving a campaign promise than implementing a promise that is unrealistic just to save face. Even if it means losing the next election,or losing popularity, a leader must put the country first.

The funny thing is dat those wailers who never supported the idea, who said it will promote laziness, will still be the one to condemn and criticise him for not prioritising it instead of commending him for doing d needful.

I am living in governance mode. I dont care about what campaign promise were. I only care about good governance. Any campaign promise that is not realistic today can go to hell. For those who cares so much about campaign promises, you can use ur PVC in 2019 and vote what u want.For those who claim Buhari won the election because of 5000 naira stipend for unemployed are not saying the truth. More than 99% of people who voted for Buhari voted for him because he was seen as much better to fight corruption and boko haram. Not because he promised 5000 naira. I am not even sure he got 100 votes because of the 5000 naira stipend promise.

For that primary reason of fighting corruption and Boko haram, he may not have done it perfectly, but he is clearly better than GEJ. And he was voted because he was considered better in fighting it than GEJ and not because he will be able to fight it perfectly. That is progress, Reduction of negative is positive. For that, he has fulfilled his top two campaign promises.

Leadership is about optimising available resources for the best of the country. Not wasting it on project in order to look good and save face

LieDetector:
This tonyebarcanista should f*ckin take several seats back. It's absurd how you hold yourself on the high when it comes to issues pertaining to national development. Need I remind you that you are a renowned wailer and only newbies on here would consider engaging you and your foolish articles whose aim is to malign and paint a bad light of every policy put forward by this government for the betterment of Nigerians at large. Your case is simply that of mind boggling idiocy.

Progressive01:
Speak truth to your conscience Barca. It is called politics. If APC played it better than PDP and reaped the rewards, don't get mad at them, refine your game. Simple.

What exactly is "sincerity" in "capturing power"?? Was Jo or PDP sincere in the way they kept power for 16years?? How many articles did you or any PDP supporters write about the second Niger bridge?? Has it been completed?? To what extent was work done before Jo's departure?? How many promises did he fulfil before he left? Why was he seeking re-election when he didn't accomplish any of the things he specifically promised he would between 2011-2015?? Where are the factories in each state?? Where are the refineries?? Where are the state of the art hospitals?? Where are the roads??

Haba, make we dey tell ourselves the truth sometimes.

We should be happy the N5000 stuff is being reviewed. Would have amounted to waste of epic proportions.
