Nigeria will never be the same again with Buhari's system of governance built on unconscionable arbitrariness and full-blown despotism.


While those clapping at the perpetration of tyranny and emasculation of dissension and opposition are having a laugh, they should do well to remember that power is transient.

Buhari or the APC will not be in power forever.

We are watching.

Thank you.

Buhari is a worse dictator than Idi Amin. No wonder Abacha was his favorite president

I don't blame them. The useless banks will never invest in the real sector. Only oil and gas with their short term returns. AIT and Silverbird. Now some governor claims they funded his campaign. Invest in the real sector na lie. Invest in long term capital projects that will encourage import substitution na lie. There are 41 banned items from forex. Give loans to build factories to manufacture them na lie.

Nigerian banks are the bane of our economic development.

You are right my brother, it is because GEJ is also a thief and an ineffectual buffoon - that is why it will never happen
For now, we need to appreciate that what GEJ does not have the capacity to do, PMB is doing - recovering our commonwealth
Just like Tinubu laid the foundation for a modern Lagos, PMB is laying a foundation for a corruption-free Nigeria. Nigeria belongs to us, NOT to few corrupt politician. We either allow the few looters to end our country or put a stop to it NOW
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria
Long live APC

Hmmmm! By the time he finishes the foundation, and revovering the so-called LOOT, every Nigerian will become jobless and unemployed, including YOU!!!

11 billion Naira is a loan of 5 million Naira to 2200 separate businesses.

At interests of 10% maximum you achieve your goal of making profit whilst boosting the economy.

Banks should wise up.

Bro eh... .. You need to go back in time to Ben Bruce time as the DG of NTA and what happened to all the money allocated for the purported digitization of NTA during that time. It will interest you to realize that Silver bird t.v was founded and made to be up and running with upto date technology at about that same time but unfortunately, NTA digitization is still an unrealized dream up til this moment despite the huge millions of tax payer money expended back then. Do the math sir. Mr Common sense happens to be part of the problem.

[b]am really worried about this country
everything is just irritating
from governors to senators to state house of rep to local government chairmen
judiciary is rubbish fake lawyers up and down and they all carry(SAN) i wonder which cases they have been winning
cause there isnt a single person since tafa balogun that has gone to jail for years now
its really sad honestly
you will be held for an offense and you will be saying "how abt peter"what abt him (stupid sentiments)
everything is just somehow
prayer wont work
what we need is some serious action

buhari cant do much cause the thieves around him wont allow much happen
then even if he ignores them, senate wont allow his plan work
stealing and financial mismanagement will never stop lets just accept that and face life like that
if ure lucky to enter a position steal, if not stay poor

i have on good authority!!!!
that a certain business man was owing a bank billions in debt
wen the bank wanted to fight him for the money, he used a governor to threatened the bank
that if he is disgraced the state funds will be taken away from the bank
the bank had to let go of the debt or as they will say fooling themselves (non-performing loans)
and that's how the man walked away with billions and never paid #true story
but lapo will be disgracing some market woman because of 6000
thats life for you ooooo
na heaven win am my people [/b]

Who is stopping the vulture dictator from working? Who is around him except paid sycophants?

Buhari that proudly proclamed he has never worked before is not somebody anyone pledges allegiance to or works for -

This is a sign of progress in Nigeria, a sign of transparency.....If any of the previous governments (the old Nigeria, business as usual style) was in charge, stuff like this would have been covered up with stolen money or another unredeemable loan.

This is the type of Nigeria we want; where the system works.
Re: AMCON: Bruce Brothers Sign Court Order As AMCON Takes Over Silverbird by Nobody: 4:05am On Jun 24, 2016
I am very sad at the turn of events in the Bruce family business. Cannot the government intervene to protect a thriving business endeavour. If this business dies many people will add to the teeming army of unemployed. Government can bail them out. The private sector is extremely important and must be protected by any means necessary.
Re: AMCON: Bruce Brothers Sign Court Order As AMCON Takes Over Silverbird by MielBaker(m): 5:18am On Jun 24, 2016
Few days back, I'm certain the Bruce brothers didn't see this coming. Hopefully it will be sorted soon. This kind of predicament require more than common sense and twitter.

Can't forget aslan.. the lion, bought a rug with a lion on it... shortly afterwards.


Up till the recent xmen!.. whoops... but this time around at the Ikeja City Mall.

For the love of entertainment, I pray you over come this, Nigeria is damn too stressful, I repeat damn too stressful for me not to have a cinema experience...

Another reason..

How much was the ticket?

That's when the cinema began to die.

This is 21st century and lagosians are still living like cave men...The worst that could happen to a nation is the emergence of a man like Buhari as the President....the economy is in shambles, there is no job,no plan,naira lost its value, businesses are folding up....Fulani guys are killing and there is word from Buhari other than the fulanis are not from Nigeria....Bro, I only pity the youths still praising Buhari....Let's pray what happened the last time he was in power does not repeat itself...

I don't care what flying Buharia does,but for the Bruce family I pray they come out of these case. Most of us yabbing/insult his common sense,how many of us can boast of employing people like they did,just chill till ur sibling or loved ones tell you they have been laid of silverbird be it T.V,Radio,Cinema,Beauty agencies and the ones we don't know then we will come to appreciate the effort of others. We insult Fayose but who would have voiced for us what Buhari and his incompetent ministers wanted to do with the Yuan loan deal? Who would have made us appreciate our country Naija and her blessings we have buy appreciating our local products and ideas by boosting the morals of those people that want to make an impact or being their voice in growing Naira. How can a president be cleaning with opppsitions who decided not to join his party, why didn't Jonathan do so to other political members while he was on seat. Lastly ask your self who have you helped by job creation,who have u helped by spreading their works to customers who might need them and what have you done for Naija....

This is what change of govt can bring if Gej was there, it can't happen.
This fixation on GEJ is getting too much haba. Even if Gej had won the election he will be there for just 4years. Silverbird Gallera in VI was built before GEJ presidency and company hv been business 36 years. GEJ obviously wasn't president for this period.

I doubt that the Murray Bruce family can be accused of being too wasteful or elitist to the point of wrecking themselves financially.

Yes they will enjoy their wealth and not live like paupers, but i doubt any of them own a private jet or have kids schooling at Eton or any of the expensive universities. Everything known to the public about their lives seem to be achievable by any very comfortable middle class family in Nigeria, despite their own very wealthy status.

I however like that they have reacted to this episode in their lives as a business oriented and sane individual would.

Business can always go bad when a lot is staked on an unstable investment that goes south, but also give huge returns when the score is right.


all business have up and downs...with Nigeria's economy, most business are going down...banks are making collosal provisions and even foreign ones are closing shop...emirates...british airways etc...its not cos the Bruce guys have not done well...they are recruiters of Labour...they should be supported not crucified...

Though there is impunity in this country by the rich, the high lending rates is killing businesses. I am sure this enterprise would not have this problem if interest rates were in single digits.


Nigerians have no business borrowing in double digits in s country where an expansionary budget is not more than a budget deficit of 3% of GDP.
Until the naira substituition policy ends, double digit lending rates will continue to kill promising busonesses
God bless you interest rate in Nigeria is not helping business tycoon at all.

Here what I think :
He took the loan to finance his election bid and the reelection of GEJ with the hope of repaying it when he wins...(they do that a lot).

This one loan wasn't about business.

But since 2011? I dunno what to even think again sef
