There is no senses in common sense any more.

repogirl:
Those who will succeed will still succeed sha, inspite of the govt.

thats true tho.

We are known for the hustling spirit

the common sense is getting feeble day by day



baby senator


after you and your colleagues turned Nigerian youths to media political fighter, you're still bent on embarking on a needless mission


no wonder people said u look like Obama but reason like obanikoro

YelloweWest:

Well guessed at. Honoring him will spread awareness of the wasting talent in Nigeria! Ben got it right this time!

awareness u mean?

They should start with athletes in d just concluded NUGA games nd Nigerians will take them serz.

sinaj:
All they knw ow to do is to spend money on irrelevant programs nd show celebrating dumbness.

They avnt seen anything yet.

Naija jxt know how to kill people talents. No encouragement.

Afonjas are regretting having lost this dude to Britain

While I don't despise the fact that the guy deserves a national recognition, but I think the senator's suggestion is motivated out of his unbridled lust for elite group in the society.

This guy had been in this country all this while and no one seemed to have been able to discover his talent because he was not rich. Now, I learnt he made about $20 million in that mega match alone, they suddenly think he is award worthy.

The money they will spend to host the guy and his ambassadorship will be better spent to groom another Anthony Joshua among our upcoming athletes.

It

Before inviting him, the occupants of aso Villa and the entire national assembly should ask themselves : why is it that most Nigerian only become successful outside Nigeria? Because our political, educational, economic and social environments do not support those aspiring to be successful. An average Nigerian youth is not asking for too much... Just create a conducive environment and see.

Meanwhile the same Joshua begged for an opportunity to represent Nigeria sometimes ago but was denied probably because he doesn't belong to the 95% or quota did was not on his side.... Only God knows. See where nepotism has taken us?

If you ever have an opportunity to relocate in pursuit of your dream in a better land please don't hesitate. Don't hinge your hopes of a great future on "e go better" cos Nigeria will take quite a while to get better.

Unfortunately YES. A very long time ago You can see how Nigeria is loosing talents due to our economic situation

What has the economic situation got to do with losing talents?

biafuro afonja lost him to Britain atleast the glory is still shinning on every Nigerian regardless...but ur own kindreds are counting hours to their death in china ...535 osus waiting to become manure in faraway chinko land..bro abeg go baff ur brain with with ariel..

Mr. Common sense that does not hv common sense

But wait oh! Why are these angry and hypocritic souls so animated?
What's wrong with Mr. Ben's suggestion, is it because it's coming from a politician?
Truth is; his is a welcomed call, no matter where it is coming from, because I know you guys wouldnt have raised an eyebrow if the call had come from an entertainment celebrity or another low-life out there.

Would you rather stay in a place where there is little or no opportunity against a greener pasture?

kolafolabi:
Sen. Ben Bruce is right though...if he tweets other way round, people will still lambast him...

Then he should keep kwayet

This same nigeria that treated its representatives as trash in the last olympics. This country is a disgrace, no willingness to invest in our youths that engage in sports talkless of those who engage in research. Shame

Abeg joshua u r british u are not nigerian please stay there dont come to this dump.
Afterall we dont appreciate gold nuggets until another person has processed it into clran gold

Greener pasture for an athlete is all about opportunity to compete against his equals or his betters. We lose athletes not because of the state of our economy but because of the state of our sports.

He made a lot of sense.

laribari:



I just wonder for all of una honestly and I'm so pissed. What is wrong with what Ben said? Mr Ben lived by example if you are talking about diaspora and he identified with Nigeria despite being affiliated abroad.

When Nigerians abroad do bad things they SAY HE IS NIGERIAN but if Na good thing THEN THEY SAY HE IS BRITISH.

Have you listened to what Anthony Joshua said? The young man even by himself identified with Nigeria and jokingly mentioned Eba, pounded yam and Egusi soup as the secret of his success. The dude even spoke little yoruba language so he is not lost as una dey suggest.

The young man said he will like to visit Nigeria and identify with his people. Na Ben Bruce talk that one? Anthony said........ I AM NIGERIAN BY BLOOD and Nigeria is dare to him. You can't erase blood o!

Pardon me, I tried download the video but couldn't. You can watch it on youtube. The guy is a proud Nigerian.

He identifies with his roots... Nigeria. And this is a good thing. But he is British born and bred. He represented Great Britain in the recent Olympics in Boxing. Not Nigeria.

No different than beyonce saying she identifies with her roots and would love to connect with her people (Maybe Nigeria or Ghana)

AJ's success has nothing to do with Nigeria. We shouldn't claim people just because they are successful.

Senator Bruce will find other successful Nigerian bred people that can be celebrated.

U for talk say make dem do all this one for Efe. That time nobody go attack you.

Bruce, in case of next time, you now know the kind of things the zoo won't encourage.

sarc.



But u sef.....why u wan reap whr u no sow?

The state of an economy transcend to sport sector as well, it's interwoven. Have u seen a stable economy with erratic sport activities?

Ben Bruce sniffs cocaine

I mean "Notin""""""""""""""""

yeah,so much for making common sense!!!!

leave joshya for uk i beg oooo

Joshua was in Nigeria once to connect with his roots and I think that was in 2007.
“He wanted a chance to compete for trials ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics qualifiers, but he was denied and not given a chance.
“Disappointed, he went back to England to represent Great Britain.
“He went on to win a gold that could have been a first for Nigeria at the Olympics.
“If only they had allowed him to compete for Nigeria, that gold would have been a Nigerian gold and not Great Britain’s
