Very proud that someone in authority can give this much publicity to our local industries at a time we need radical reforms not just in our economy but in the mentality that makes things happen and not happen. If this can be done by every political and government official, every captain of industry and every man and woman endowed with the power of financial choice, Nigeria can change.

so, advertising nigerian products is now a stunt. When he rode around in BMW cars, it was normal shey?

Buhari's wife flaunts a $50k cartier watch and it's "normal"...Ben flaunts Aba made and it's a "stunt"?

Slave mentality of an African man

THANK YOU DEAR. You just freaking made my day!!! Keep it coming please!

Senator Bruce, enough of this publicity stunt, I'm wondering when you became a stunt man. Your constituency need you to deliver, not buy shoes from Aba and show the internet.

How close you are to the senator from Bayelsa State to even insinuate what he intends to do with shoes? Or are you just running your loose mouth as usual?

I agree with you, but in a situation where I sourced for the materials and he sewed_ no need to put foreign tag for me again na.

I encouraged him to get his own tag, and he did that, after several months. To still show you how shallow some Nigerians are, they told him not to put his tag on their shirts.
That's it. Just put Turkey or Spanish tag, you would see the rush

Every popular designer brand have a branch in Aba they don't know of. Assuming the world was fair Louis Vuitton should be paying Aba people marketing fees.....we helped push D & G,Ralph Lauren and so many designer brand samples to every corner of naija and all we get is bashing grin grin....they just need rebranding and good fabrics and if possible organising a fashion show and pay world class fashion magazines and blogs to have their designs featured on their mags. We got mad skilled tailors in Aba who should be receiving accolades if only they will atleast add their name to the designs they put out instead of using fake zara or prada labels .
Y'know lots of them are not entirely learned. They don't really know the effect of promoting other brands above theirs, they need lots of orientation and publicity.

One thing about Ben is that he is trying to prove to pple that he is a saint. But I must tell u dis guy is a FAKE, he uses most of his precious time on social media trying to win the heart of the pple to himself. The only thing he sabi do na to go to the Senate and compose one fine speech once in a blue moon. He is right dere making senseless commonsense campaign.

lovely but we still need to pay attention to details to get a quality finish. Who is that manufacturere that will stand out to ensure quality and standard finishing that can be sustain over time to be a brand name on every Nigerian lip.

Its name is Standards organization of Nigeria (SON). I believe this is another issue the current government should pay increasing attention to.

The shoes look great but more work is needed on the quality assurance and finishing

Yes, but that will depend on whether we support them, cause qualitative improvement is as a result of quantitative improvement, vise-versa.

That is...the improvement in quality you're talking about cannot happen unless they produce more shoes and keep correcting known mistakes.

All you have to do is keep buying made in Nigeria products whether shoes or other things, and improvement in quality will happen on it's own. It's a natural progression.

Buhari's wife isnt an elected official but uses official presidential planes even senior senators can't use.
She isnt a public official but has personal aids paid for by money from public purse.

Even the so-called foreign made can undergo the same wear and tear. You could help the shoe makers in quality control by providing such evidence.

Too many eople would always condemn anything made in Nigeria period....no matter the quality of the product. The senator is trying to change the foreign is better mentality that is becoming a plague in the country. .. a plague helped spread by our so called celebrities and others in high position like himself. Yes there need to be improvement in the finishing. ...the presentation... and marketing of the footwear ... but we are moving in that direction. It is so funny to see people so proud to be boasting of paying an arm and a leg for Italian shoes.... shoes that are made for narrow footed Europeans... but yet we force our spade feet into them and wear them proudly.. but uncomfortably! If nothing else...Bruce is promoting Nigerian products which is good for the development of the industry and for Nigeria as a whole.

Yes sadly that's the way it is. Even president Obama's wife uses AirForce1 with her husband, and she isn't a public official but sadly, she has personal aids paid for by American tax payers

And yes, they way some guys reason at times is mind blowing.
