Achievers don't set great goals. They set SMART goals.

handsomeclouds:
This is a mere wish-list as they aren't completely quantified. Even if he has a century as his tenure, he can't achieve half of what's up there with all the kind people he pack for side.

neocortex:
I trust Baba he will have done more than that by 2019.

is it just me or are you being sarcastic ?

Dbestmax:
Very soon somebody is will cc lalasticlala. ..i dey wait

olalekan1:
May God guide him to the right path.

steppin:

Is that so?
Funny enough, you're the one that sounds so dumb, thinking that the contents of that manifesto can be achieved.

Obijulius:

4 days gone already...And Buhari has not achieved anything on that list.

What type of country is this? Why are we blessed with the wrong type of leaders?

ooshinibos:


Callmemike can you honestly say that the income generated in Nigeria cannot fulfill these goals , back in the 1980s when we earned less , these goals were achieved ..or do you prefer the Nigerian devils and evil doers to siphon the Nigerian money abroad like the previous government -poverty development party

it better to set goals ..it gives you a vision unlike our GEJ madness

emzila:

failures never believe that anything is achievable, not even a trek from Abuja to otuoke.

And great goals are not smart goals?

Pavarottii:
A lotta people have been deceived tho into believing in these promises.
I wish God give the will power and intelligence to achieve even if its 40% of this.
But let's not deceive ourselves Buhari can't achieve even 60% of these even in 8years. Cos of looters around him. And didn't see any promise about the subsidy and pricing of petroleum product.
Wish him well tho.
But if u believe he will achieve all these, then u just entered what is popularly known as "ONE CHANCE"!!!
Let the people and opposition not sleep to always remind him to put him on his toes. Like they did when they were in the opposition.

steppin:
APC manifesto is nothing but a pipe dream.
I pity their die-hard zombie fans.

cuteboy2:


It seems he is actually systematically breaking the promises.

Three promises broken so far:

1. Public declaration of assets
Buhari's Action: Buhari and Osibanjo declared their assets secretly, a classical move locking the barn front door while leaving the back door wide open for the horse to bolt anytime it feels like.

2. No Office of First Lady
Buhari's Action: Official portrait of Aisha Buhari released last week. Aisha actually assumed that office even before the husband was inaugurated on 29th May. She led Nigerian delegation to the Conference in Argentina as First-Lady Elect mid May 2015.

3. Trim Size of Government bureaucracy.
Buhari's Action: Buhari announced today, 1st June 2015 the appointment of 2 media aides (Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina, current Chief Editor of Sun newspaper) in one fell swoop!!! Why does the President need two media aides?

themilanway:


Over 15million Nigerians who voted APC aren't as dumb and stupid as you are

Kolade354:
83. Importing 1 new Brain from Canada to give to you.

From Intellectuals to Barbarians.

This reversed transmogrification eludes me. Sore losers I understand but these unintelligent and childish ones from GEJites and TANoids I just can't...
All those crying foul over assets declaration need to be re-schooled. The President together with his Vice have declared their assets already as promised. In due time it will be made public. Even Late Yar Adua declared publicly after a month into his administration. It's barely a day since these moronic detractors started hounding them. Why didn't you hound your "Hero" from Otuoke?
If you did not support or vote for Buhari sorry you lost your ethical and civil right to question his governance. All you can do is wait after 4 years to thank him or tell us "I told you so."
Until then just silently follow the news on the new administration and simply read it and weep.
This silliness has to stop!

Nellybii:


The truth is you are a very sore loser . YOU find it so difficult to get over the election results even GEJ has gotten over it..please get a life

calebo101:


Even an ediot can set great goals. Anyone can set great goals.

All those crying foul over assets declaration need to be re-schooled. .....

This silliness has to stop!

Callmemike:


I like your optimism. Really. However if you economically analuze our present state, will you find these goals realistic? If we really want accountability, Nigerians should hold the present government to the last letter of these promises. Talks like 'fulfill 70% and we are ok' will not help in the long run. I am neither a Tanoid nor a Buhari supporter.
