I have never flown first class in my life” – Silverbird Boss Ben Murray Bruce says

Chairman of Silverbird Group and Senator-Elect Mr. Ben Murray Bruce has revealed that he has never flown in first class before despite his wealth.

Speaking at the Man of the Year Award in Lagos last night, May 3, 2015, the Silverbird boss also said he has not stayed at an hotel over $300 per night. "I have never flown first class in my life. Our leaders must be accountable, I have never stayed in a hotel that’s more than 300 dollars a night, it doesn’t make sense to lodge in a 4000 dollar hotel, not because I can’t afford it, but because if I think of the masses" he said.

"I run a company and at the end of the month I have to make payroll, so I can’t justify it, our politicians must imbibe this attitude as well. Nigeria is too poor for our leaders to act like multi-billionaires, and Nigeria is too rich for our people to be poor" he further stated.

Good one sire.Looking forward to the day Dr.Eng.Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso takes over the helms of affair.

Ben Bruce, the man with audacity.

Can't wait to see him in the senate, advancing his ideas and point blank opinion.

this is a very worthy mentality and principle to b emulated by the Lawmakers.

But the problem now is for the man not to be infected by the 'if you can't beat them, join them' syndrome.

His children will read this and say, "Daddy, you can lie for Africaaaa..."

thank you. you are a man with human brain. at least your silverbird company provides employment for many people. not like these morons that take our money to Europe for the banks to use as loans for their citizens.

But he owns a black, white and yellow Range Rover sports.. Three different colours of same model.

I hope this is not initial gragra. He better put his mouth where his pocket is. I wouldn't trust Nigerian politicians as far as I can throw them.

Hmm...I need proof.

....das part of ur achievements o jare

..

I have flown 1st class loads of times, but I am accountable to me!!!!!
For hotel expenses, I think between 14 - 22k a night, is the maximum I can always stretch to.
It's only to sleep, wake up, shower, eat. If the bedroom and toilet facilities are of top class condition. Count me in!!!!

Really Sir?



Don't tell me that, I'm sure u get upgraded to Business class all the time and Sir that's what we call first class most of the time

The world loves a winner but that winner was once a loser who refused to quit . /p5sIGP-bm

igbo APC calls for cancellation of this thread https://www.nairaland.com/2293684/nigerian-crime-kingpin-jailed-australia or mods will be thrown into the lagooon

Kini big deal? Abeg swerve joor

I've started liking this man already.
If he truly practices what he preaches, then i wont mind him vying for presidency in the future. perharps to complete the south south second term.

its not true can he swear he has not flown in first class before..

This thief is trying to rewrite history. I know he is a crook. He stole NTA money and used it to set up Silverbird.

Crook.

Modified:

I wish i could add my sources but due to non-disclosure contracts, i cannot. But i know that most of the equipment he used to set up Silverbird were acquired in NTAs name and then they just disappeared.

Pdp+change

I won't believe until after 4 yrs as a senator

so what does he want ? a hug or something ?

Naija Politicians will always try to humble themselves
