We might as well ask for the four years budgets to be included in the manifesto!

A manifesto is a statement of WHAT a person/party aims to achieve.

But it's good questions are being asked.

BTW, can we compare with the other party's?

u seem to lack any sense of reasoning in this regard. some of u guys on NL are obviously kids with nothing but davido and wizkid on ur minds. How else would corruption be eliminated if not by upholding the rule of lae anf ensuring the Judiciaru is truly independent. Judiciary will work while the federal government will ensure they uphold d law regardless of whose ox is gored

You couldn't even get a word spelt right and hold claim to intelligent reasoning.

You may need to practice reading , it does help

Very interesting observation from the Manifesto. It does not matter what party you affiliate yourself with, the fact is politicians always make promises they are unable to keep. I feel sorry for those that have been bought over by Buhari,s promises without a second thought.

The most important observation made here is the fact that Buhari plans to spend money on social programs but very vague or clueless on where the money will come from.

You either promote capitalism by creating policies that will enhance and facilitate growth through private enterprise or follow the path of social welfarism and pursue policies that will only benefit the poorest of the society in a futile attempt to close inequality gap.

In my opinion, the only social programs worth pursuing in a society like Nigeria are education and health. Nigerians are smart and hard working, therefore more than capable of achieving a without assistance of the government as long as the government provides other variables required.

appini:
The whole world knows that Buhari cannot operate in a democratic settings.

True talk!
Buhari can only function in a military setting!
GEJ has enabled democracy grow in Naija and put in place d freedom of speech act, dats y peeps can insult him d way they do and get away wit it.
WARNING: if u try dat under Buhari's regime, u'll bag 100 years

Sealeddeal:
That zone is actually a den of stomach infrastructure. They will lose nothing by dragging nigeria backward and thats why they are supporting Buhari so as to use nigeria money for partying and sallah

Well said.

buhari must also tell us if he will summon state governors every time a fulani mans cow is killed as he did in oyo state. Also he will tell us how many infidels an islamist and herdsman is allowed to kill before it is deemed a crime punishable by law, as the death of infidels by the hands of his kinsmen of whom he is the president general (miyati allah. fulani community) does not ruffle him one bit.

Although I am pro GEJ

GEJ should give in details

The quantity/price of each to bought

The number of staff/salaries per staff

The number of generators and the quantity of fuel they consume per hour

Etc



These are brilliant ways to expose waste and extravagant lifestyles


Thanks

APC: What manner of change?

A very close look at the APC shows they are not different from the PDP,

* Amaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP,

* Atiku - 8yrs Vice president under PDP,

* Akume -8yrs governor under PDP,

* Bukola Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator under PDP,

* Timipre Sylver -4yrs governor under PDP,

* Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP,

* Aminu Masari - 4yrs Reps speaker under PDP,

* Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP,

* Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor, 3yrs Defense minister under PDP,

* El-Rufai - 4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman under PDP,

* Oyinlola, 7 and half years governor under PDP,

* Segun Oni, 3 and half years governor under PDP,

And to cap it all they went to OBJ begging, a man who they claimed spent 8 of the disastrous 16 yrs as the maximum ruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescue mission. If Abacha was alive, APC would have gone to beg him to come nd assist dem.

It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people who created and perpetuated the "16 Disastrous years" are now dumped.

Please Nigerians what is the change in this APC?

bros where can see you so we drink together,dont mind useless old fools called them sefs APC.Jona for presdo

Obiagelli:
The most annoying comment i hear these days is how does he intend to fund his policy. Looks like cluelessness is creeping into the larger society.

Okay Obiagelli, let's consider this part of the article.

I also observed that Buhari seems to assume an unlimited supply of finances and he is not shy to spend. For instance, under “Economy”, he says he will “create a Social Welfare Programme of at least Five Thousand Naira (N5,000) that will cater to the 25 million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon the demonstration of children’s enrolment in school and evidence of immunisation to help promote family stability. (And) Provide allowances to the discharged but unemployed Youth Corps members for Twelve (12) months while in the skills and entrepreneurial development programmes.”

This is obviously an attempt at creating a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) scheme in Nigeria - more or less our own version of "Bolsa Familia". Now this is commendable, but let's look at the numbers involved. He says he will pay 25 million people a sum of N5,000 (let's assume monthly even though that is not explicitly stated). This amounts to N125 billion every month and N1.5 trillion per annum. Are you saying that we shouldn't ask where Buhari will find N1.5 trillion on an annual basis to fund such a programme?

I firmly believe that manifestos should outline HOW policy initiatives would be achieved. Why should I vote for Buhari if I cannot understand how he execute the promises made? After all GEJ also made all sorts of promises in 2011 without a clear blueprint, are we expected to repeat the mistakes made then?

GMB should go back and do his homework. His manifesto is unconvincing.

deletrue:
The most unfortunate misfortune that has befallen this country is the coming of apc. This party and Buhari has just come into politics with the singular mind set that no other individual will ever rule this cointry. Not less than a quarter of Nigerians have planned to travel in mid January. Most workers has appealled to their bosses to allow them their annual leave towards the end of January for fear of being attacked or caught. As am sending this post, all three out of four of us who lived in an estate has appeal to me to take proper care of the estate, leaving me alone. What kind of life is this? You people want votes for your party,yet t you preach hell fire all the times. You threaten every Nigerians including the few of your supporters. Honestly, apc is evil. It is so painful to come across these Islams living in the same country with others. Very regretable.

God will bless you,bless Jonathan and bless Nigeria.APC don't have any to offer.all are evil

APC making promises on social programs and want which primarly would be funded by money gotten from the SS and u want to kick their man out of office. Coming from a yourba man. How does buhari plans to find alternative income for nigeria. How does he plan to stabilize oil prices. I see nigeria splitting up. If a buhari becomes president. Imagine with these low oil price the boys gets back to the creek. Even lai mohammed said to slove the problem of insurgency you must attack it from the grass root. That's why jonathan has not been able to make a head way. The northerners have not given him the chance. Same would happen if a buhari is president. Anybody mingling with a northerner would be seen as an outcast. Yardua succeded because jonathan was their own and there was money to spend. Now no money how to spend how would you appease the boys. Imagine the oil blocks been sold and the owners are now northerners and yorubas. These APC cohorts are deciving demslves. If the north is smart they shold wait for jonathan to finish his term. The nigeria two party system is not split into ideologies, but rteligous and ethich sentiments. Anyhow u look at it its a time bomb. I for one prefer nigeria splits than a buhari to be larded ova me. As soyinka puts it the buhari leadership was carried out as if the people of nigeria has no volition of their own. I can only judge buhari by his past because he has not shown me his future and dat past was dark. And dat includes his recent past.

In short you nailed the manifesto

Eziachi:
Buhari manifesto or APC manifesto? Junk journalism.

Apparently some people find it hard to understand that a candidate for primaries can have his manifesto, but it can never be superior to the manifesto of the party. Since Buhari won the primaries, his manifesto has been replaced by that of his party APC. The APC manifesto was produced after tough discussions involving leaders from all parts of the country, and it may have similarities with Buhari manifesto, but the party is supreme in this matter. Has the writer even seen the APC manifesto? Lazy lazy lazy journalism

barcanista:
Bros the writer's argument lacks substance. The manifesto is a document that tells WHAT and incoming government intend to achieve. It can't go into details to explain HOW" because you and I won't even have time to read it. The question is, are the items on the manifesto feasible or not?

That is the writers sentiment. The feasibility of the bogus claims in the manifesto considering the reality on ground as regard the totality of the nation's wealth.

This is not 1986, not even 2011. We are monoeconomic nation with limited income. So the big question still remains how buhari intends to achieve these lofty ideas with this limited resources. Because calculation shows that 5000 naira times 25 million people amount to 125 billion naira for the unemployed and less privilege for just one year.. Now we ve not talk about the finance for the trainings of these unemployed youth were promised to undergo. We really have to learn how to ask question from our politicians. The kind of promises these guys make is an insult to our intelligence.

I don't know when we will stop being sentimental and be realistic in our comments.
We all know the problem of this country which
I surely believe every individual is wishing a better Nigeria for all of us. Let's be sincere is Nigeria not among the richest country in the world? Still 75% of her citizen are suffering atleast if government can level some distance between the rich and the poor then what's N5,000 that government can't afford to 60% of its citizen in a month! Let's vote in Buhari and see the next step I believe in him

If Buhari thinks he will run a welfare system using ND oil wealth he is in rude and brute shock


ND wealth won't be shared again

Very well said. Optimism is good but realism is better. Nigeria is the way it is because of Nigerians and like he said they have not been taken along in that manifesto. Ultimately they will decide whether Nigeria changes not necessarily Buhari. If they have suffered enough to engage one another and leadership to change Nigeria, fine but my take is that Buhari will have to drag Nigerians kicking and screaming to the promised land....and knowing us....we will not go.

I thought one has to find out where a car or bus is heading to before they board it. And one can only do that by asking the driver in other to make an informed decision to check whether they are heading in the right direction.

thank you for this astute remark. Nobody is here hating on GMB, rather we are asking, Sir, with your visions for us, how do you intend to achieve them? And what sacrifice will you have to make and what sacrifice will we have to make? At what cost? These are salient points that must be answered.
