Speak for yourself, troll. Not everybody wants a life of denial.

bashydemy:
I am a strong supporter of PMB and i know most of those promises cannot be fulfil but i know PMB will be a great leader and will change this country for good.... ALso about those promises, Well from all the campaign i watch on TV i dint see anywhere PMB mention this things they are just on Campaign posters could be the handwork of the campaign management, All i hear PMB saying then was to fight corruption to the minimum level which baba is doing that already and also to fight and chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria and he is also tacking that already.. Also to stable the economy etc..

that is true my frnd.u know some ppl still blindly continue hate campaign.

lets watch and see....

CAMPAIGN PROMISES OF APC/PMB: HEALTHCARE

1..The APC/PMB promised to prioritize the reduction of infant mortality rate to 3% by 2019

This promise of the APC is in tandem with Millennium Development Goals (MDG) number 4, which is: To reduce child mortality by 2/3 (66%) between 1999 and 2015. Infant mortality rate is the number of children dying before they reach one year of age, per 1000 live births in a given year.

According to World Health Organization (WHO) Report 2014, the infant mortality rate in Nigeria was 120 per 1000 live births in 1990 which has reduced over the years to 89/1000 in 2010, 77/ 1000 in 2012 and 74/1000 live births in 2014. This implies a reduction by 38.3% between 1990 and 2014. By this figure it implies that just a little above 50% of this MDG goal has so far been achieved, after 25 years… hmmm.

I want to believe that the APC understood the implications of these promises. I also want to believe that those who drafted these promises for the APC clearly understood what infant mortality rate is all about as well as the current infant mortality rate in Nigeria, which is 74 per 1000 live births as at 2014.

In the past four years, the GEJ led government reduced infant mortality rate by 6.3%, from 79/1000 in 2011 to 74/1000 in 2014. If we extrapolate this to the next 24 years, the infant mortality rate would have been reduced by 37.8%, which will not be different from what the WHO had achieved in 25 years. And the APC told us they will prioritize the reduction of infant mortality rate to 3% (not by 3%) by 2019….. All things are possible!!

Now campaigns are over it is time to get to work. By this promise of prioritizing the reduction of infant mortality to 3% (not by 3%) by 2019, it means that all efforts must be on top gear to prioritize this reduction from the current 74/1000 live births to approximately 2 per 1000 live births in 2019…. Hmmm!!… I don’t believe in impossibilities, yes! Nigeria can become a world power in health; but things must be done the right way.

To achieve this, the PMB-led government must tackle the leading causes of infant mortality head-on which include but not limited to: malaria, diarrhoea, birth asphyxia, pneumonia, preterm (premature) birth complications, measles and malnutrition. Other contributing factors include: mother’s level of education, environmental conditions, and political and medical infrastructure. Improving sanitation and access to clean drinking (potable) water, immunization against child killer infectious diseases (such as tuberculosis, polio, hepatitis, pertusis, etc) will go a long way in improving on the infant mortality rate.

Between 2000 and 2008 the national immunization coverage was between 10% and 50%. Some of the challenges attributed to this included: poor funding of the Primary Health Care (PHC) system, low political will and commitment, poor Cold Chain system, shortage of vaccines, weak surveillance systems, missed opportunities, under-served and hard-to-reach communities and refusal to accept immunization.

To improve immunization coverage in Nigeria, the government of PMB should as a matter of priority do the following:
1..Provide adequate funding for the Primary Health Care (PHC) system
2..Strengthen the Cold Chain system by
Providing transport logistics,
Provision of Solar refrigerators
3...Disease surveillance
4...Building institutional capacity
5...Advocacy to political, traditional and religious leaders for ownership
6...Effective social and Community mobilization and sensitization through health education in social clubs, markets, schools, religious houses and health facilities

Another important cause of infant mortality, which is very common, is malaria. The MDG target for malaria was that by 2015, malaria would have been halted and its incidence will begin to be reversed, this target has been achieved globally and a lot of countries are making steady progress. The MDG report of 2014 stated that Nigeria and DR Congo accounted for 40% of malaria deaths globally. Children and pregnant women are particularly at risk. One of the ways of preventing malaria is through the use of insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs).

Of the 700 million ITNs distributed to countries in sub-Saharan Africa between 2004 and 2013, only about 36% were sleeping under an ITN in 2013. In 2012 less than 20% of children in Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger slept under ITN compared to 70% reported in Benin, Madagascar, Rwanda and Tanzania.
It is true people may not be forced to use these nets at home but the government should come up with a ONE HOUSE-ONE-NET POLICY and if possible introduce incentives to motivate the women, to ensure that their household, especially the children sleep under them (the ITNs).

By this singular act, the scourge of malaria would have been brought to its barest minimum and the attendant mortality associated with it will be drastically reduced even if we do not meet the set target of reducing the mortality rate to 3% of what it currently is, we would have set a standard in health care that will be the envy of all. The fight against malaria requires both political and financial commitment and the PMB government must brace themselves for this great task ahead. Nigeria can be better.
I wish PMB/APC luck!

Buhari and APC is a scam. They are strong but God strong pass them. Time shall tell

KEep on welldone keep on going, with out Baba will not progress i know you dont vote for chnge thats why you will never see it, we that vote for it we are seeing it, and we blieve Baba Buhari will do morethan that, and u remain as enemy until buhari finish his 8 year + Jega 8 years + El-Rufai 8 years + kwan-kwaso 8 years + Bello el-Rufai 8 years by then may by you woukd realise.

Promises are made in anticipation of the right " conditions and environment" for its fulfillment. If a government inherits a contrary " condition and environment" for fulfillment of promises, it then behooves on the government to now analyze, strategize, prioritize in the interim and "CREATE" those " CONDITIONS and ENVIRONMENT" it requires to fulfill those promises made abinitio. So there is basically nothing unusual about how Mr Buhari is going. It's just about the international best practice. I am not even going to bother my head with the issue of time. He is not 2months yet and dis any of his promises have 1month+ time-line? Make una free the Bros make him work jare. 16yrs see where we dey trying to do a reconstructive surgery.

Buhari and APC scam.... easy to say. bit I just viewd some of his campaign clips. At no time was he carrying a gun and forcing anybody to accept his campaign promises. He campaigned and people were convinced and they voted for him on their own will. And it's just 1month+ abi na 1month vote una give am? I voted Buhari to me clean the mess and make Nigeria clean again. I ddnt vote Buhari to turn Nigeria to Dubai, I voted for him to kill corruption and give us a new formula for achieving development and growth. Everybody has their reasons for voting Mr Buhari. My own is not your own so we have no reason to quarrel. I want us to be put on the path of development and economic prosperity. If I get that in 4yrs I am ok. And that certainly does not come alone. It carries with it a lot of other good thins.

Wait till May 29th 2016 before expressing your pessimistic opinion known.

The level of hatred displaying by people that didn't even vote for PMB is just a clue to measure the amount of pain and torture most of them must have passed through when they declared PMB as the winner.

People that voted for the Man that are in the majority believe in what the man is doing so why can't you people just accept that you all 're in minority that your voice can only be heard while the voice of the majority will always have their ways.

The Man is barely two months in office, and I can clearly see an intelligent man trying to understand the cause of problems before profering solutions to them.Nothing really impossible to achieve in all that you have listed, if only your hero Gej can return trillions of naira he is stolen and beg his allies to return theirs too we will be living like Dubai (UAE) citizens now..lol

I wonder why people expect change in less than two month of governance, Buhari is NOT a magician,it will take a while 4 him to clean up the mess that's been caused over the years, negative bashing could make him lose focus,he needs to be encouraged and shown love. The dollar rise has been on during the time of GEJ he can't command it to fall rather proper planning and boosting the economy will get us there. Show some love!

SmooshCHN:
You see the problem with Sadist You never think positive. He doesn't have to do all those before Nigeria gets better. A better economy can solve all those.

Does a better economy implies that 1 dollar will equal over 235 naira as it stands today? This is the worst exchange of naira to dollar in the history of 9ja

Dannyset:
U and I know that u can't achieve or build all these promises on the dilapidated foundation PDP left this Country. All these promises need structures on ground. I am not saying they can achieve 100% of it, neither am I saying it's not possible. But with what PDP did to this Country, u can't start anything good without first cleaning their mess. They have done a lot of evil.
PMB will definitely come good, this I believe.

u sound dumb....why does he need to promise us heaven on earth when he knows PDP did something to de foundation.... see no room for excuses
....he should just deliver..
.

How will the country be better. Nigerians don't have hope themselves. Good Governance is a continuous thing so don't expect that to be done in 4 years but it would be put in place.

No room for excuses and excuses exist. So where do we put them? It's hard to convince anybody when it is clear your point of view is borne out out HATE and REGRET.

Leaving hate outta this
Its not today the issue of unrealistic promises started right from the time of politics inception the people suffereth promise and fail..
But Mr presidents promises where just too far-fetched unless he will purge the entire system which is not possible... That's like cleansing the whole nation which can only be achievable in the military system
But let's not judge the book by its cover he still got 3years and some months so let's watch in 5d

























Talking about chibok girls.. At a point in time I didn't believe that story again to me its just a facade..I think the people concerned are just using that story as a loop hole or something cause if you think it through we nevere got to know what happened to the authorities of the school iono if anybody counted the number of parents that cried out.. Iono if tis just me but some things didn't add up again about that story.. So if Mr president is releasing terrorist good
The end will justify the means

Thebachelor:
Damn all his promises. All I want is 24 hours power supply so I can watch corrupt politicians escorted to prisons. End to the insecurity in the Northeast so I can stop giving excuses not to travel there to see my malo babe. Employment opportunity so I can have some kobo in my pocket to blow. Is it too much to ask for?

Honestly, bro you need two bottles of Heineken for this post. You said it all!.

Fin!!!.

It not jst dat six he jst made empty promises like all ther others

From an individual's post, I can tell clearly if that was the person's original thoughts or he/she just heard people talk and he/she "Crammed" it now coming to NL to say what they heard ppl say. That's why its so hard for them to respond to your response on their own post. Bungalow Brains nothing upstairs.

Sunofgod:
Na only six- every ting the man talk na wayo!

make una dey patient nah.. una don dey judge d man..everythn is with gradual step..u knw d situation of the country nah..do u thnk he is thr enjoying.?

Oga baba alihaji bubu is chasing naija shadow

The 'Promises' shall be fulfilled in the #FullnessOfTime

I am Danm sure for every criticism I throw at PMB and the APC, I will come up immediately with a better way of achieving what I expect from them. But for now I don't have a problem with how things are going so I will pray and wish them well and be supportive of them. I can't see any gains all this drama will give us. GEJ lost and till this moment some Nikkas are still in shock. Move on folks.

Talk about been scammed! Enjoy the CHANGE while it last.

Where is fr Mbaka the advocate of change. Naij entered 1 chance when they did ask the kind of change APC have for Naij before voting them into power. BRINGBACKPGJ

oh, so he's supposed to do all that with an empty treasury abi...oponu rada rada

But come to think of it the Op and the Haters could be right o! Some of them will be so full of grief and may die of heart attack before these promises are fulfilled and in their death they may think the promises were never kept while we the Belivers and Optimists will be alive to see it. At least all those Chileans who died before last week and beyond to 99yrs ago died knowing Chile has never won the Copa America.

I see him fulfilling all these even more in 1 year.
