Precisely. The optimistic projection needs to be situated within some potent variables, that more often than not, have defined this country. You would be surprised, some would still rip this prognosis as defeatist and pessimistic, but like grief, governance comes with a reality check, quite long in the day, when time and emotions have already run counter, and are spoiling for confrontation at the ballot, or on the polity’s physique. Anyways, the incoming government, whatever the composition, would have to concede to unpopular and anti-welfare policies, contrary to abiding electoral promises, if it's to have some semblance of capacity for everyday administration, and it's at that juncture, Nigerians would be weaned of their delusions, and be forced again to return to the trenches, with the opposition milking the discontent. And, like I discussed earlier, the country is in for some hell of a ride, regardless.

P.S
Forgive the diction. I trust the message is clear.

This is a somewhat simplistic view in my opinion. I think what Buhari may do is to fast-track certain infrastructural projects as emergencies such as building of refineries and completion of power projects and transmission. As for roads, he should do more of rehabilitation till things improve. Blocking avenues of stealing especially in the NNPC will increase our revenue a bit but not by more than half a trillion. If he does this in the first two years, he may stand a chance of winning the hearts of Nigerians. As for ASUU and NMA etc, regular meetings with them to PREEMPT and PREVENT unnecessary strikes will be very useful. However he needs very strong and dedicated ministers, directors and permanent secretaries to do these. He also needs to find a way to avoid giving contracts to political cronies. I wish him luck in this troubled nation with so many problems begging for attention at the same time.

Buhari hasn't been sworn in and we are already analysing or is it overviewing what his tenure would look like.
Even though i am not one of his supporters, I am of the opinion that we should just wait and see what he has to offer Nigerians. Nothing is impossible....

Some people are just certified haters... E go shock una next elections Na kowa go carry second PDP will be so irrelevant... Awon oniranu...

tuniski:
why is it paining u? Better get set for real opposition not the type APC did with propaganda, insults and lies! PDP is coming back with a bang cos Buhari/APC is the biggest scam sold to nigerians since 1914 amalgamation!!! It is not wishing buhari failure it rather, stating the obvious nigerians will soon start cursing Buhari!

Let me tell you if you dont know, none of you here, who are PDP sorcerers, fortune tellers, marabaouts and doomsday prophets is God! You are not God! And come 2019, we will read this your voodoo analysis and enjoy a good laugh.

Thanks to all those who saw the truth in my analysis. Every discerning mind who reads this will know that this is how Nigeria works, except Buhari effects a drastic change in the constitution which is highly unlikely, everything I wrote in my post will come to pass.
I will not forget this thread and I will post a first reminder next year when things start to take shape.
Cheers.

ideykwum:
My dear, your argument is sound, but remember that all these must be done within the ambit of 4 years? What do you think is the average construction schedule for such infrastructure? When then would their impact be felt? What of political parity? Who gets what? How can such rapid changes be made without a constitutional overhaul?


You are correct about total overhaul but unfortunately the change-chanting Nigerians are not even ready for that. So, it will end up being the usual playing to the gallery by the political leaders. I still believe the incoming administration must focus on specific areas. Power projects have gone far. They must conclude them and decisively stop gas pipeline vandalism. A little improvement is what we really need. As for the refineries you and I know subsidy must go

Sweetguy25:
How naïve can Nigerians be?

It was so easy to predict Buhari's tenure. That's how disastrous he is

You got your predictions right save for the budgetary figures.

Can you predict his second tenure?
