Ben Murray Bruce Chairman of Silverbird Group is the Senator elect representing Bayelsa East and will assume of office for the first time come May 29th 2015. In a speech at the recent Silverbird man of the year awards, Senator elect Ben Bruce took to the podium and addressed the prevailing issues facing Nigeiris, economy and people. He was frank and direct and held nothing back in declaring is "Modus Operandi" when he assumes office.

Below is the transcript of his powerful speech, which has taken over the internet.

State governments have no money, outside i was talking to the Ekiti state governor, and he cannot pay salaries, forget about capital developments. and debts he inherited, most states in the country today, if they were a company, they would file for bankruptcy. and no company would loan them money, the federal government inclusive.

To say we are broke is and understatement, a few thing must happen, we must grow the economy
and we must shrink the way we spend money. The problem about Nigeria is not about the north and the south, Christianity and Islam, its not about APC versus PDP, the problem about Nigeria is right versus wrong.

Today i was interviewed by bloomberg magazine the other day, and they asked me about the problem in the North East versus the South South, and i said to him, the issues in the North East, is not about religion and the issue in the south is not about what you think it is, the issue is very simple.

We have a small minority of people, the leadership in Nigeria, consuming all the resources in our nation and leaving the rest of us in abject poverty, that cannot work. we must learn to be humble we must learn to conserve what we have, and we must learn to be kind enough on the rest of us to have enough food to eat, children to go to school, healthcare facilities for everyone, education, job, infrastructural development for our people. the population control policy, 170 million people, most us leave on 2$ a day, not enough money to survive.

Well its nothing new that some of us don't already know. Naija politician's average salaries are not a reflection of the per capital income at all. To put into context, the diagram below shows the average salaries of senior politicans in top counties.
