Typical of an APC fanatic. He said the truth and you call it meaningless rubish, your inability to counter his claim with facts make your post the meaningless rubish.
[/s]


He also said the truth when he said the Nigerian youths should be allowed to run Nigeria instead of old and tired people like him, but the useless hypocrite is yet to step aside for Bayelsa youths to take over and go to abuja to represent Bayelsa instead of the twitter nuisance camped out on twitter.


The he turned around the next day to blame the same Nigerian youths for wrecking Nigeria because they support foreign soccer clubs instead of Nigerian clubs. Why blame the same Nigerian youths he just said we should allow to rule the country for wrecking Nigeria when in fact it was him and his looting and stealing PDP responsible.

Also where is the common sense asking Nigerians to buy Nigerian when he's yet to ban foreign films in his cinemas, he's yet to stop shiping his own children and money to America to get educated in American schools instead of OAU, UNN, UI and so on?

The fact that you gullible and meager thinking disciples are falling for the con man doesn't mean the rest of us should for for his cheap and crude theatrics..

Mr bruce is not speaking for himself but for you who allowed your future to be hijacked by old dying thiefing elites that have been ruling since indipedence.only for them to be calling you leaders of tomorow . If you don't like him for whatever reason, look beyond the messanger and make use of the message. He is simply sayng that, the youths should be included in governance as it is obtainable in developed countries around the world. What is wrong with his proposal? I can see you prefare defending APC and attacking PDP for the rest of your life while the corupt ruling class irrespective of party affiliation continue looting the nation dry. You hate Mr Ben Bruce just because he is not singing the praises of Buhari or APC.

very much the reason why the hypocrite should exclude himself and step aside for Young Nigerians to take over from him since he was and still part of the same old corrupt elites and he himself was part of the 16 years PDP administration that wrecked Nigeria, that stole and shared our money, that kept us in darkness by stealing our $20 billion power funds.


If his really honest and cares about Nigeria, should be speaking up against the evil perpetrated by him and his party against Nigerians.


Of what relevance is the mentally warped messenger who advocated for Nigerian youths to be allowed to rule Nigeria while refusing to step aside for youths in his own state to take over from him, but instead turned around and blame the Nigerian youths for wrecking Nigeria because they support foreign soccer teams.

The man is a nuisance and a first class lying hypocrite..

countinue the insult and name calling. Let a youth come out and defeat him at the polls now and see if he wont vacate the senate. Or expect him to hand over the senate seat to you? All he is saying is that the Goverment should consider the youths in terms of appoitments and you are beafing him.

BTW who stole $20billion power fund?shocked

Hmmm... so stealing started 16yrs ago. The general that stole more than any Nigerian and we are still recovering till today didn't steal Nigerians money, he was just keeping it till now but died in the process....

That money he supposedly kept didn't do the damage. We can keep saying 16yrs when the real damaged started during the second Republic and buhari was part of that era. Even in that 16 yrs, APC chief political navigator, [b]Agbaya OBJ [/b]did 8 and he continued where Abacha and Abdulsalam stopped so why blame a man for a over 16 years anomaly

Stealing did not start 16 years ago and so must continue? Obj was indeed an agbaya or how on earth did a drunken master like Jona became the president of the most populous black nation grin grin grin grin grin.

How GEJ became president is for God. It was meant to be and as far as am concerned, he did his best and by still remains the best president Nigeria ever produced. Whatever people say, I careless. If Nigeria is talking corruption, they should go back to when it all started and no blame a man who worked hard to keep Nigeria together.

Call me whatever, am not measured by that cos I know who I am and what I have and made of. I love Jonathan, and so....

He is far better than Bubu

Exactly how many Innosson he bought for the NTAwhen he was the director of the NTA? I mean the same NTA he wrecked while his own silverbird grew and opened cinemas and malls all over the place..

Many people and states have bought innoson cars so no biggie here, the twitter senator is all about crude, crass and odious noise and propaganda.

[size=13pt]Ben Bruce was credited with revamping the NTA at the time.
I was aware when he got in and everyone knows the good job he did there.
He was specifically called up (chosen) from outside the establishment to do the special job
The declarations by anonymous online individuals that he wrecked the Nta
are merely ill wishes that unfortunately cannot make their way into reality.

A few questions
1). Was innoson motors producing cars at the time he was at the NTA?
2). If they were, was he a national leader at that time?[/b]
3). Was the naira so low at the time?[/b]
4). Aren't you aware that Ben Bruce says that no one should attack the president on the exchange rate
and that if they want the naira to improve they should #buynaijatogrowthenaira?[/b]
5). Are you not aware that it is in furtherance of this (to buttress this point) that he has
gone out to support made in Aba and buy these things to lead by example?

Have you not wonder his sudden publicity tour & patronage to aba trade fair, innoson group etc that has been in operation for years all in the guise of making us to believe that he's a home product man.

[size=14pt]Isn't it even more important now for our leaders to publicly lead by example in patronizing Nigerian against the backdrop of the most unprecedented fall of the naira in Nigerian history?

The one Nigerian leader who comes out in extremely practical ways to not only preach buying Nigerian but to do it and support it by creating a space for made in Aba shoes in all Silverbird malls across the country, it pleases you to disparage in this manner.

If your reaction to his actions is good and you stand by it, may twice the same reactions confront similar practical steps employed to improve your life, that of your wife, your parents and kids, your education, your business and career.[/size]

[size=17pt]Do you agree with that?

The name Ben Bruce naturally generates a number of reactions in the minds of many Nigerians as a Fashionista, Celebrity and Entertainer. Nigerians are also familiar with household names created by the entertainment guru such as Silverbird’s Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Cinema and a radio and television station which has helped enrich the broadcast industry in Nigeria.

Bruce’s success in the entertainment industry is indeed what many would call an American Dream come true, and is a wakeup call to the Nigerian youth illustrating that from nothing, one can go on to build empires.

Therefore, it was with much gladness that I welcomed his entry into politics when in 2012; he sought the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party to become its guber candidate. While I knew that as the rookie that he was, he would have to contend with the powers that be for the ticket and that odds would be heavily stacked against him, I still saw his entry into politics as another leap forward for Nigeria, as ‘Clean Men’ like Bruce could then bring about the much needed change in our politics and help change the mindset of a number of youths that it was a dirty game. Unfortunately for Bruce, he was disqualified owing to issues bordering on his membership of the party then, but for us it was a good start.

In 2015, opportunity reared its head again and Bruce ran for Senate, under the Peoples Democratic Party and won, beating or should I say rigging out mercilessly a former Governor of the State, Timipriye Sylva, who polled a meager number of votes.

No sooner had he become a senator, Nigerians began to witness a new Bruce, who started proselytizing “The Common Sense Revolution” where he has been touting ideas after ideas on what is wrong with the country and how we can fix them. Using media platforms, Bruce has sought to identify the troubles with the Nigerian nation whilst at the same time proffering solutions to these challenges.

The trouble with Bruce’s Common Sense Revolution is that one cannot discern whether it is a publicity drive or a genuine cause to salvage Nigeria. For example, many have asked where has Bruce being all these years? Was he asleep when his party the PDP raped Nigeria from 1999 to 2015? Particularly, when his kinsman in former President Goodluck Jonathan held sway and nearly ran the nation aground. Surprisingly, Bruce saw no evil and thus tucked his commons sense revolution in his boxer shorts.

I was miffed when Bruce went on twitter to announce that he was donating half of his wardrobe allowance to the people of Osun State, following the failure of the Osun State Government to pay salaries for some months. For all its worth, I as many Nigerians felt that such philanthropy was puerile and unbecoming for a man like Bruce. First of all, one felt that Bruce should have as a Senator worked across the aisle in the Senate to perhaps sponsor a bill that would have sought relief or bailout packages for states like Osun. Again, one wonders whether a paltry sum of N253, 300.00 per annum would have been enough for over 30,000 civil servants in Osun, while his home state of Bayelsa owed pensioners and workers too. Many therefore wondered why Ben Bruce wanted to begin his own charity abroad.

Perhaps, like the village rascal, who is not fretful about the notoriety of his image, Bruce has not let up from playing to the gallery time and time again. One time, the senator advocated on twitter that he was wondering why Nigeria with 36 states had to have 36 ministers, whereas the United States of America with 50 states had 18 or thereabout ministers. I quickly retorted that the same United States had two senators per state and asked whether he was willing to give up his seat in order to make his common sense practical! Dear readers, Senator Bruce never responded and as at this point in time he still has his seat in the senate!

From his tweets urging Fashola not to use generator, to his referral to a minister in Buhari’s cabinet as a criminal unto his silence while the Senate in its profligacy wants to purchase cars amounting to N4.5bn, Senator Bruce has shown that hypocrisy is now becoming his favourite past time.

The trouble in his common sense revolution is that Bruce sounds like a socialist while he is a capitalist, a liberal while he is a pseudo liberal and a progressive whereas he is at heart pro establishment.

While I do not frown at his being vocal, I would only wish that Senator Bruce would channel his new found love for activism unto good bills, motions and resolutions on the floor of the senate, guided by truth and patriotism.

This way, he would not only make a good case for himself but also for millions of professionals considering politics as a means of service.
