Ten Reasons Why Buhari Will Succeed by PassingShot(m): 8:18am On Apr 18, 2015
It is true that success draws more friends to you. It is also a truism that the same success gets you more enemies who will want you to fail. These two statements have been proved to be correct since emergence of General Buahri as the president-elect of Nigeria following the elections of March 28, 2015.

Ordinarily, a topic on whether Buhari will succeed or not is not what anyone should bother his brain about since very soon we will have the opportunity to judge how he will likely perform based on the first few policy statements and appointments. But since the enemies who always like to see the cup as half-empty will not be patient to wait for GMB to assume the mantle of leadership in about six weeks’ time, they have started to write on why Buhari Might not succeed https://www.nairaland.com/2261258/4-reasons-why-buhari-might

It is based on that article that I, on behalf of patriotic citizens who like to see the cup half-full, decided to give ten reasons why Buhari will succeed in his presidency. These ten reasons include the four reasons adduced by the TANoids/GEJites/PDPeegs for why GMB might fail; but we have to see them differently.

As egift stated in his post on that thread, those four reasons are indeed seen as strengths:
egift:
All the unbelievers will be disappointed. From day one you guys have promised and projected one disappointment or the other, but Buhari has always defeated your negativities.

One the points you mention, here is my take:

1. His party:
The APC is a party we all can see its origin and evolution. It grew from nothing and gradually/rapidly gain traction through deliberate efforts not accidents. The party was built from scratch. The PDP on the other hand was just put together in 1997 - 1998 and since then had never been tested. This is the time for PDP to start building their party for the very first time. Unlike APC, they don't have the will and enthusiasm. Just a quest to get power come 2019 (and if they fail, the rats will jump off the sinking boat faster than they came).

2. His leadership
Buhari has proven time without number to be a man who can hold he ground in the face of any change. And being surrounded by people who also understands leadership, he will achieve a lot. Buhari have all the experiences and lessons he needs to succeed. Also he is free from greed, which the biggest factor that destroys many Nigeria leaders.

3. His precedent
Before even taking this position as President, Buhari understands the problem facing Nigeria and the enormity of the challenges. Until Jonathan's 2015 New Year's message, GEJ did not consider Corruption a major problem. But Buhari since 2013 have insisted that if Nigeria will develop, Corruption must be tackled. While the expectations are very high, by running a transparent system of governance and making tangible delivery, Nigerians are very willing to be patient with him to deliver.

4. His popularity
Buhari is popular among the masses because he understands and fight for their interest. In fact Buhari could have been president before now if he pursued the interest of the corrupt elites. In the north, despite the follower-ship among the people, their elites always frustrate him out just to protect their loot. With the masses behind Buhari and by delivering solution to the problems facing Nigeria, Buhari will leave a solid legacy as both President, Commander-in-Chief and Father of Nigeria.

Summery:
The things you consider as setbacks for Buhari, is rather his driving force. I see a New and better Nigeria ahead. Sai Buhari. God bless Nigeria.

In addition:
His Party, APC
APC as a party has a clearly written manifesto which is available in the public domain and the manifesto addresses most of the challenges of Nigeria. It is also a common knowledge that APC-controlled states have outperformed majority of the PDP-controlled states. One only needs to take a look at achievements recorded in Lagos, Rivers, Osun, Kano, Imo and compare with states such as Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa and many other states they have led to backwardness since 1999. Finally, there is no party that does not have the good, the bad and the ugly of our politicians. All parties will have to manage different shades of persons and it is how these people are managed by each party’s leadership that determines their performance. Whereas APC has the welfare of the citizens at heart, PDP’s mentality is looting and stealing while giving crumbs to the led. Nothing more, nothing less!

His Leadership
One of the characteristics of a good leader is ability to delegate authority and give responsibilities to his/her subordinates. How then can a right-thinking person see this quality as a negative thing? Buhari had held leadership positions prior to becoming Head of State in 1983 and also after been overthrown by IBB. A sincere and unbiased mind only needs to take a look at how he led PTF to national and international commendations to appreciate that GMB is a good leader.

The remaining six reasons:

5. Buhari’s Incorruptibility
His worst enemies, despite having accused him of many things, have not been able to accuse Buhari of corruption. GMB has been investigated on many occasions in the hope that remote evidences linking him to corruption will be unearthed yet nothing has been found. Even in their despicable documentary to demonize the amiable General during electioneering campaign, PDP could not claim that he was corrupt. This quality will surely help Buhari to achieve good result in his fight against corruption during his presidency.

6. Averseness to Material Wealth
It is a public knowledge that Muhammadu Buhari is defined by simplicity and contentment. Despite having held many positions which could have made him to own skyscrapers and private jets, Buhari remains an embodiment of modest living. To have better insight of this man, you may want to read this article here http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/daura-simplicity-contentment-redefined-in-buharis-abode/ Again, this attribute will help him to put many politicians with penchant for opulence in check.

7. His “can do” Spirit and Doggedness
This is demonstrated in his ability to contest for the highest office on four consecutive occasions starting from 2003. Except we want to deceive ourselves, only a few human beings can continue to remain undeterred having experienced failures on three consecutive occasions, some of the failures humiliating. This quality will surely come in handy in achieving success in many daunting tasks he will surely encounter as he pilots the affairs of Nigeria.

8. His belief in the Rule of Law
To demonstrate his belief in the rule of law and show his respect for the laws, GMB pursued all his previous election losses to the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court. I have no doubt in my mind that Buhari didn’t have absolute expectations that the courts will overturn those election outcomes but he nevertheless demonstrated that he trusted the courts even though many Nigerians knew that nothing would come out of those cases. With Buhari as our president, we will surely not see a case where 16 will be greater than 19 or where seven lawmakers will be able to impeach the speaker and sack nineteen of their colleagues. The era of impunity in this regard will be a thing of the past with Buhari’s presidency.

9. His Military Training
Not until recently, Nigerians have known the military institution to be a disciplined and professional institution. In the days when discipline and professionalism were the order of the day, Buhari was a GOC, a military governor of the NE, rose to become a Major general and also led the army as the Commander in Chief. His successes in all these military positions will surely come handy in providing direction to the NA as we fight to eliminate terrorism from our land. With Buhari at the helms of our affairs, Nigerians should expect a more disciplined and professional armed forces to defend the country.

10. Buhari Knows that Failure is Not an Option
Buhari is aware of the expectations of Nigerians and as such knows that he has to act differently. In a recent news report on how he intends to tackle Boko Haram, our amiable president-elect said:

"My administration, which will take office on May 29, will act differently – indeed it is the very reason we have been elected. This must begin with honesty as to whether the Chibok girls can be rescued. Currently their whereabouts remain unknown. We do not know the state of their health or welfare, or whether they are even still together or alive. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them: to do so would be to offer unfounded hope, only to compound the grief if, later, we find we cannot match such expectation. But I say to every parent, family member and friend of the children that my government will do everything in its power to bring them home".

Buhari has the political will to take decisive actions which are what is required in tackling many Nigeria’s problems. It is the lack of political will that made his predecessors to fail and it is my hope, as many others’ that GMB will succeed where they failed.

Long Live President-Elect Buhari
Long Live APC
Long Live FRN

Buhari is an "ekwu-eme", ie. he's a talk-and-do man. So I believe in everything he says he'll do including stabilizing global oil prices and bringing $1 to be equal to 1 naira.

Can't you see how he made the country ungovernable for GEJ through 4 years just as promised, soaking dogs and baboons in blood in the far north and South West via his Time Magazine "Man Of The Year," Abubakar Shekau?

Sire, just like GEJ, we can't wait for you to get started. We'll not only curse and spit on your certificateless face in every clueless move you make, we'll make sure you do not die of HBP so you can live to be haunted by the spirit of those innocent corpers you killed in 2011.

He must make 1naira= 1dollar

I've come to notice many Nigerians don't know the critical problems facing the country.

Which problem of Nigeria will Buhari succeed in solving?

Is it education?
Is it corruption?
Is it poor infrastructure?
Is it tribalism?
Is it unemployment?
Is it the unfair and inefficient federal system in Nigeria?
Is it security?

Oga, there's still 2million up for grabs on a thread (i'll provide you with the link). The simple task is just to provide "video proof" where Buhari said "I will make 1Naira equal to 1 dollar". The thread has been up for almost 2weeks. Till today, none of you fools have been able to do that yet you go around the forum spreading falsehood just to hide your pain grin
