Ben Bruce Reveals “Smartest States” In Nigeria by BeeBeeOoh(m): 8:49am On Jun 21, 2016
– Senator Ben Bruce has revealed the smartest states in Nigeria

– Ben Bruce says Abia, Anambra, Rivers, Imo  and Edo states are the smartest

– He used their educational growth as yardstick for measurement

The social-media savvy senator has said that twenty years ago the southeast states lagged in education and had poor boy child school enrollment, today they lead in WASSCE results.


Ben Murray Bruce says he just wants to make common sense.

He noted that Abia, Anambra, Rivers and Imo state came first, second, fourth and fifth respectively. Ben Bruce also commend Edo for coming in at third.

Senator Bruce said the Federal Government and other states should study what these states have been doing right and replicate it nationally.

Disclosing this via his Facebook page, Ben Bruce said what has happened in the southeast is nothing short of a miracle.

He said: “They receive some of the lowest federal allocation, yet they have achieved such remarkable educational and economic growth.

There is something to be learned from them. Is it their policy? Is it their budgeting practice? Is it their sense of community? Whatever it is, it is working!”

Ben Bruce was recently prevented from greeting President Muhammadu Buhari by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have reportedly prevented Ben Murray-Bruce .

In a series of tweets posted on Monday, May 30, the senator representing Bayelsa East senatorial district, revealed that the incident happened at the Aso Rock presidential villa during a dinner organized to mark 2016 Democracy Day.

The dinner was hosted by Buhari, and had in attendance Bukola Saraki, the president of the Senate; Yakubu Dogara, the speaker of the House of Representatives; Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president; Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, among others.

Meanwhile, the Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Olusola Adeyeye has cleared the air on the allegations made by Senator Ben Bruce that he was blocked by DSS officials from greeting President Buhari.

According to Adeyeye, it was Senator Dino Melaye who first went to greet those seated at the president’s table including the president in what he described as a clear breach of protocol.

Adeyeye stated that after Senator Melaye’s action, other senators got up to do the same but the scene became clumsy and indecorous prompting the DSS officials to intervene.

He also informed that an All Progressives Congress (APC) senator, Barnabas Gemade was also turned back by the security operatives, dismissing the claims of Bruce who interpreted the DSS move as political.

Even in Edo and Rivers that are mentioned, you will find out that it's the factor that made those state to appear in the list.

Igbos in Rivers are in majority why we have a lot of igbos living in Edo.

It's a known fact that Almajiris_ don't have High IQs...doubt me?. Just take a look at the GCFR Dullard_...if you still doubt then you a pathological liar and living in self denial.

But Ben Bruce anyone can "Cram" high school material, take a look at The brain drain of Nigerian immigrants and you find most geniuses are from the south west then like 35% from the east...just a wild guess, not necessarily true.

A state doesn't have to be smart before you sit your business there. As long as you make good money there, it's all good. That's why it's called business.
