Seem 'SOMSEONE' is desperate to remain relevant
... Hmm

I keep saying this, this man talks too much........

Chai, Mr Ben Bruce just de fvck up anyhow

I don't know why we have unrealistic senators in Nigeria. " The employed should help Fed Gov pay the 5K" as if the employed were the one that made the promise.... PDP and APC making false promises since 1960

The senator brought up a good idea that will make us all our brothers' keepers by contributing a widow's mite out of our income. This is just an idea that needs to be looked into. It doesn't have to be 5%. It could be 1% or even less. However, the comments I have read here simply show that Nigerians are selfish and uncaring folks. As long as they are happy, others can go to hell.. People are insulting the senator here because this will mean a small reduction in their take-home. Yes. I support the senator. If the Federal Government is reluctant, we the people can do it. There is no need to delay.

We need to impeach this man ben. Bruce from twitter senate president on twitter the man own don too much here complain complain everytime when him brothere dey there him keep mute now him open him basket mouth dey talk trash here

Ben Bruce or whatever u called yourself; why can't u let APC to fulfill their campaign promises ? Why are u involving the youth What! What!! What!!!, use my hard earned money to pay the unemployed, am i Buhari and Associates

[size=15pt]Ben Murray Bruce is borrowing this tax idea from the comrade governor Adams Oshiomole of Edo state who has started land tax in GRA area of Benin city. Oshiomole as a visioner think that with the dwindling resources from oil it is necessary edo state start planning for other source of revenue.

Tinubu introduce similar tax while governor of Lagos state.

Plus or Minus, Government in Nigeria especially at the state level must find a way to address unemployment as it is a time bomb that has started exploding already with frequent bank robbery, kidnapping, etc

The Pdp administration of Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan worsen the economy of nigeria due to massive corruption.

I quite agree with Senator Ben Murray Bruce that the employed people (workers ) in Nigeria should be taxed to pay the N5,000.00 naira to the unemployed graduate or unemployed people. But I still think the government should also contribute their own part from the federation account as not all workers in Nigeria are gainfully employed. The government should also pay because their action contributed to the rot we have in our economy today.

It should be a joint project workers salary be deducted and government revenue be deducted to fully pay the N5,OOO.

In the phillippines and Germany, their nationals working overseas are taxed for the benefit of their home country.

Do you agree with him?

What happen to SINators collecting minimum wage or being paid on a part time basis.

He's gradually leaving obanikoro level to Doyin Okupe

u mean is demoting gradually

u are wicked!!

Wow, nice breakdown, there is absolutely no justification to even suggest something like that... BMB is becoming a part of the insensitive ones

Ghandi12:
BMB used to enjoy a sublime respect from many but all his stands since becoming a Nigeria Senator has depicted him a pettish and unreliable politician.

He has spoken vociferously (pre-nass-inauguration) on how he was going to be the voice for commoners in the Senate but he has not made a single meaningful contribution on the floor since the Senate was inaugurated 5 months ago.

Social palliative for underprivileged in our society is a serious issue that deserves serious attention from our leaders - but a vague,impulsive and illogical recommendation from a 'commoner hope' like this has again confirmed "they do not really care about us".

# How would an overpaid politician justify a call for further dip in the take-home of an average tax-payer to pay underprivileged?

# Has BMB considered how many N5000 is derivable from N150/ N120 Billion (the current first-charge budget of the 469-membered-NASS)?
N150 Billion = N5, 000 x 30,000,000 people

# Has BMB considered how much N5000 is derivable from N29,479,749 (the current monthly take-home of a Nigeria Senator)


https://cattembam./breakdown-of-nigerian-senator-earnings/

N29 Million = N5, 000 x 5,800 people. In other words BMB as a Senator is taking home what 5,800 Nigerians may survive on every month.
So if One BMB (as a public servant) is taking home an equivalent of 5,800 needy needs; on what moral ground is he calling on much-less-paid and hard-working tax-payers to part more from their take-home that can hardly, even, take them home.

BMB is either over-rated, deliberately insensitive (like others) or/and lazy.

[size=13pt]This man is short of sense sometimes. You want to tax the salary earners who barely get by?

Mr man you are not speaking for the people you are just running your mouth annoyingly like a nagging wife. Just shut up and do your work[/size]

Ben Bruce, sometimes you make sense, other times you just brain dey derail off track.... Salary earners wey never finnish to support themselves in this hard economy, you wan still reduce dia money on top?

Abeg advice your government to create more jobs for unemployed instead of putting people out of jobs daily and unemployment will not be an issue anymore. That is correct thinking.

This man is actually apoda of d highest order...5k from how much ah dey earn? Aye eleyi ti baje oo

Just to open their mouths and yan trash is what most youth on nairaland an in Nigeria are known for mtcheew

Daft idiots on this thread, everyone of them.

Nd how does your comment separate you from the so called 'daft ones'
your brilliance is impressive shaaa

[size=17pt]Come to Delta state, Rivers states, Akwa Ibom etc and see the money oil company workers are throwing away to their girl friend, harlots etc in hotel all for s e x you will realised that some category of Nigeria workers need to be tax to help the unemployed in Nigeria.

President Muhammadu Buhari should key into this idea of Ben Murray Bruce.

Shell workers wasting money for their girlfriends,

Chevron workers wasting their money for their girlfriends

NNPC workers wasting their money for their girlfriends.

What is N5,000 to an oil workers in Nigeria[/size]

Na ehn be say my Oga go start to pay me my salary Cash.


Na God go dent ben Murray Bruce yansh!


Already, I am grossly over taxed and he wants to add more. When minimum wage is still 20,000.






Which Constituency even vote this Mumu Man enter Senate sef?

We suppose carry them dash Cameroon as free gift wey follow Bakassi..

This attention seeking man.
You just don't spout anything that comes out of your mouth.
What are taxes for?
The tax we pay so far, has it been justified?
The problem is not a lack of money in the system, the issue is the siphoning of same by few barbarians. Until that is addressed no sane person will contribute more to the commonwealth. I pay almost 20% of my earning as tax yet i produce everything myself; light, water, security and the only thing i don't provide - roads are in a sorry state.
