Ben Bruce shld practice what he preaches Ok!!! If he claims to be for the masses or feel their pains then he shld nt make every thing too much profit oriented. If he can not do these things then he shld stop preaching those his messages cos he is not any better than those he criticize. For those of us supporting him we are only jst selfish and full of worthless ego. There is nothing on this earth some one some where can nt afford but is this person the only one that shld be put into consideration if we truely want to be the voice of the people or one who claim to share in their pain? because for me that's what Ben Bruce is claiming. If he wants to do business let him concentrate on it as a typical capitalist and not pretending to be a voice for the common man. People work for u and u pay them can u do it alone ? Employers and employees are in a symbiotic relationship both are benefiting so none of the parties shld see it as a favour pls! U can't do it all alone if u can den u wld nt need dat person so because of that u have to pay something in return shikina! If u can not reduce the price of a common popcorn in ur cinema so that, that common man on the street can benefit and be happy like his fellow elite then I wonder how masses u can be. No body shld tell me is nt meant for every one cos u are not more human than any body. We are jst what we are by God's divine grace individually.

He did not even think well before he replied, you pays more than minimum wage means you're taking from the "have not" giving to the "haves". Abeg you are not trying.
Go and tell your staff to do smth on the price, shi kena.

Why do you Nigerian fuuktards always feel the need to talk without thinking first?

Moronic fuuktard, so someone going to a cinema in a highbrow area and paying more than $4 for only popcorn in a country where over 60% of the population live their entire livees on less than $2 a day is a "have not"?

And employees serving him/her are the "haves"?

And you are the same fuuktard accusing him of not thinking well before replying?

You are a pure cretinous fuuktard!

Product of a failed education system.

Many of you are so daft, you cannot do a simple thing such as using your brain before opening your daft gob.

You should be concerned about his TAXES being paid as & when due after complying with relevant laws on employment & safety of his operations.
I am almost certain he does meaningful philanthropic work in addition to the above LEGAL requirements.
Don't you think that is a more rational & productive way to look at things for the benefit of the society

The funny thing be say them reduce the size of the pack by 2inches.

I don't give a 4k! I go down to shoprite to buy my drink, if I really want popcorn I buy outside for 100naira or roast corn for 3(200N).

Even movies, left with me alone I enter for free or tip the ticket guys directly (half of the main cash).

Well to me it seems lyk he is leading by example and not being a leader who ignores the complaint of the masses just because he is a senator and someone rich and the complaints of a regular citizen means nothing to him

Yet you still join other Nigerians to shout and scream that leadership and corruption are the problems of our country, not so
Is that not HYPOCRISY?
How long do you think it will be for the cinema to fold up and close shop if everyone is as "sharp" as you are?
How many months, years or decades

We are out own WORST enemies.

I agree with you.Atleast let him make it affordable to the extent that even if it's once a year the so called common man can save to visit the place no problem.Or reasonable enough for the students from Ajekpako Community Primary School to afford an excursion to the place.We are not saying popcorn should go below 200 naira but paying minimum wage is a ridiculous excuse for popcorn at 800 naira for a man who professes to be a lover of the common man.He has been advocating for the 5K APC unemployment benefit but if he continues selling popcorn at 800naira how can a youth afford the serene dreamy environment of silverbird (at least to reduce youth anger/BP) even once a year.

It is almost about the same price it sells in England, exorbitant You don't have to buy it,buy from a kiosk and take it to the movie if you must eat popcorn.

They don't allow you bring from outside

Please leave Ben Murray Bruce alone. If you are angry that he sells pop corn for N800 then go and open your own cinema and give it out for free. This is his business. It is not compulsory that you must chew pop corn when you visit his cinema to watch films. You can also decide not to go there and watch films. After all there are CD's and cables in your home. I think you are the hypocrite.

Ben is only trying to make common sense to Nigerian populace without sense.

We should at least appreciate someone who was voted to do a job of making better things happen to us mentally and psychologically, let him do that. He revolutionarise entertainment in Nigeria with his cinemas, bringing back the gap we all yearn for years to fill. His actions are alien to some of us because we are not expose to the proper way,our legislators should behave. He is an employer of thousands,he should be commended not condemned. He is not perfect but, he is trying to change the negative perception we have had with our legislators. Just my opinion,anyway.

If he had not replied, am sure majority would have condemned him based on the commentator's observation.
These are hard times, an hungry man is an angry man they say. So many people are looking for who to lash out on and rightly so.
I really did not see anything wrong in what he has done.
