Above is an election campaign poster of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo during the highly heated presidential election in Nigeria last year, 2015. The poster promises a 24-hour supply of electricity which has been a historical challenge in Nigeria since the adoption of democracy in the year 1999. Although this wasn't stated on the All Progressives Congress's party manifesto in a verbatim form, Nigerians are currently licking their wounds as a result of reduced power supply and a 45% increment in electricity tariffs. The power generation in the country currently stands at 1,400 Megawatts which is a far cry from the minimum of 25,000MW needed to illuminate the 36 states in Nigeria with a population of over 170 million.
A top commenter on social media has this to say:

Rome is not built in a day. A year of miracle and promising governance in comparison with 16 years of massive embezzlement and fantastical corruption, uhhhhhh, keeping our fingers crossed.

Nigerians are either blindly ignorant or characterly mischievous. Electoral promises are what they are: Promises, and they are meant to be fulfilled if the parameters are achievable, and present. The most ignorant person will know that some of these electoral promises are achievable, based on the resources potential of this Country. Before the exit of President Jonathan, all the resources were there, if not, you will not be witnessing the spectacle of Sambo Dasuki playing 'kalokalo' with our commonwealth to all sorts of political vermins. We all know how stupendously rich Diezani Alison Madueke is, a woman with no visible signs of any Business. It is doubtful if President Jonathan ever handed over our financial profile to Buhari. Pray, where do you expect Buhari to get the resources to satisfy our growing financial needs. Unless you want the man to sell his personal Ranch to solve our problems, and that would go no where. We now have Nigerian devils that are blowing up every infrastructure that should help achieve the electoral promises. With the damage done to our resources by the former Government, it is a great achievement that that Buhari is still able to pay the salaries of government workers and pensioners.

that was well written from an intelligent mind, even if i disagree with some of your content, maybe we will need you to teach some of those who write comments here how to write sensible comments rather than useless,boring and immature repetitions.
