Obviously you forgot that Ben Bruce just became a senator in 2015 here; I can understand your seemingly strong aversions to the person of Ben, but I believe the issue is not whether ben bruce said it or lai mohammed said it. The issue is, is it true? Yes or No?

The fact that ben bruce or PDP said it, doesn't make it a lie. And if at all you are current, then you would have known that even Ben bruce has once queried the senate budget; so keep calm and recognise a man who does it right!!

CecyAdrian:
Ben Bruce is just a loud mouthed tout. Why can't he raise this issue when him and his camouflage thieves that call themselves law makers meet

byrron:


The video link below of ben bruce addressing some issues at the NHA will expunge your ignorance about him.

If a refined and accomplished personality like Bruce is your definition of the word "Tout" then you should aspire to be a tout like Bruce.

Standing5:
In bayelsa their budget is always in round figure because it is shared according to big men's interest n they av no time to be perfecting the fractional parts.
He should focus on Bayelsa with its backwardness affecting his people.

coolscott:
Is he a Bayelsa house of assembly member? Is he a Bayelsa state governor? What is his political office?
Answer these questions and decide for yourself whether your statement has been dumb or not

wirinet:
Ben Bruce is always looking for cheap popularity. Why not tweet about OBJ's letter to the national assembly? Why not address the bogus N4.6 billion him and his colleagues propose to buy just cars? Does the British parliament Spend such money on cars? Besides why did he not tweet when Jonathan and PDP were buying 10 jets just for the president, he did not tweet when Stella Oduah was buying 2 BMWs for over N600 million naira, and he is tweeting against Buhari who had no bought a single plane.

Senator Bruce we are waiting for you to tweet concerning OBJ's letter addressed directly to you.

coolscott:

Maybe Melaye is CecyAdrian 's idea of a gentleman, and Murray-Bruce, his idea of a tout

OAFMods:


When you are voted into leadership position the buck stops at your table n your opinion as already been noted which is the reason you are voted into power. How does Bruce intend to make his YES opinion count to the benefit of the masses or are we here just to nod yes to his aversion while he can only make noise on the floor or Twitter n Facebook ? Governance is not about yes or no like you inferred, you PDP supporter need to open your mind and learn to work with what you have instead of making noise and raising inimical point about the problems plaguing the nation.

I'm very sure that with this your comment, you dont have any tangible contribution but,to just comment and get 'likes or share' from the traffic of this platform. This man was just a common man like you and me during Jonathan's government. So, now that he his an opinion leader,try to grasp at least,common sense from his perception.

ehissi:


2 things I noticed here; either you are a very unhealthy bunch of contradictions or you are not quite sure about what you are talking about; let me broaden your understanding!!

For the record, I am not a PDP supporter or an APCrian - for crying out loud I have never voted in any election in this country - so technically I may be tagged as politically neutral!!

Also Ben Murray Bruce is a Senator; and in case you are confused about what his job description should be as a senator.

Senators represent the interests of their states’ citizens, write and support legislation and vote on bills. They ought to divide their time between their home states and F.C.T and spend considerable time meeting with constituents and fellow lawmakers and attending Senate sessions.

In this age and time when Social Media is revolutionizing how we communicate; what better way to communicate ideas, relate with constituencies than twitter and facebook, instagram etc.

Ben is a known advocate for issues that affect not just his constituency but the country at large.

From scrapping of the Presidential Jet System, to cutting down the Senate budget, condemning the move by FG to place a media blackout on Dasuki's trial via a closed trial, Certain points of the 2016 budget e.g. The high budgetary provision for the Villa health centre compared to teaching Universities etc.

Wasn't it the same Ben who raised a motion for the payment of #5,000 monthly stipend for the unemployed that was viciously opposed by APC senators?? To the extent that even Lai Mohammed denied that Buhari ever promised to pay that stipend!!

If what you say in the first fews lines of your commentary is true - which I doubt very greatly - then we can count Buhari to be the most irresponsible leader. Why??
He is now the president and leader of this country but till now - 8 months after swearing-in - he has continually passed the bulk for the state of the Nation to Jonathan and I guess we all know and have noted his opinions which is why folks like you may have voted him in. Right??

At least we all know that he promised to make the dollar equals to a Naira but we are still working with him naaah; even though the pound is #400 and the Dollar is #297, abi no be so?? He also promised to pay #5,000 monthly to Unemployed graduates nor be so!!?? He also promised Nigeria, in his address given at Chatham House in London, that nobody who is corrupt or has issues of corruption will serve in his government - I guess that excludes Amaechi - abi nor be so!!??

For the record, in the context of public opinion or human interaction, the definition of noise is relative. What one person will call noise made by a baby, another may call a cry for help or hunger.

The same applies, what a politician may call noise, a trial judge may call facts of a matter. This informs why opinion must be rated outside the realm of sentiments, so as to get a balanced perspective of issues as discussed.

Fact!! Ben Murray doesn't make noise. The fact that someone doesn't share your views/opinion on a matter doesn't make what they have to say noise!! That is actually the exact definition of someone who isn't open-minded.

Incase you are still not sure what noise means. See below: -

noise  (noiz)
n.
1.
a. Sound or a sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected, or undesired.

b. Sound or a sound of any kind: The only noise was the wind in the pines.

2. A loud outcry or commotion: the noise of the mob; a lot of noise over the new law.

3. Physics A disturbance, especially a random and persistent disturbance, that obscures or reduces the clarity of a signal.

4. Computers Irrelevant or meaningless data.

5. Informal
a. A complaint or protest.
b. Rumor; talk.
c. noises Remarks or actions intended to convey a specific impression or to attract attention: "The U.S. is making appropriately friendly noises to the new Socialist Government" (Flora Lewis).
tr.v. noised, nois·ing, nois·es

So much ado about nothing, Mister you need to cut down on the long epistle. I care very little if you are apolitical or not. Bruce should stop patronising the citizens of this country, highlighting a problem he's part of does not absolve him of the blame. The reason I categorically stated his opinion are valid but he or any PDP politician have no right to even open their mouth to speak about it simply because his party ruled for 16 yrs without being able to make a difference. You my friend might drool at his Twits but many Nigerian are able to see beyond the smokescreen of his rhetorics

did you just say criminal? Pls delete that word. Its not befiting of bruice cuz he is one nigerian who has shown patrotism so far. He pays his staff above minimum wage. He has lifted many from where they were to a better place. He doesn't owe his staff n he works very hard for his money. So pls mind your comments. Bruise was already a self made millioNnair bf joining politics

ayindejimmy:


He's just being hypocritical with the truth. It's not like he is just in government. This man has been in government for years, now that his party lost out he became a prophet.

Did the current President buy any private jet?
Who bought those jets?
It's not going to be easy to discard a used jet within a year you know.
It's not like the current government had not complained about the outrageous number of jets in its fleet

Where most people failed is assuming Buhari is the answer to Nigeria's problem . Buhari is a politician too. He owes people favour and he follows party's principles.
Buhari is just the source to the answer. And with him we're on our way to getting it right.

From clean energy, to environmental pollution to the stella oduah scandal; Ben Murray bruce dey submit better parade Oooh, as far as balanced views and opinions on National issues is concerned.

Except you are a die hard fan of APC, in which case sorry..........keep dying hard!!

OAFMods:


My support for APC as never been in doubt even with my glaring discontent with some of the party policies n actions that's unlike biased satirist like yourself who labours effortlessly to disguise your sentimental PDP affiliation.

From the case you cited, which of what Bruce spoke up about as led to a successful prosecution of the culprit Or implementation ?

As Bruce tweets stopped the pillaging of the country resources by his party within the 16 yrs PDP reigned supreme ? Now what were your epistles about once again ?

What sort of a man repeat same mistake over n over again "Tweet" hoping for a different result if not the all knowing wailing senator you drool on sighting his tweets ?

Like I argue with friends finding a logical reason to defend the PDP with all the revelation going on is beyond me. How some of you are able to do it without remorse considering the amount of corruption loot n mis governance is unbelievable. Please continue masturbating on Bruce tweets i have no desire to share in such sentiment.

This is His latest facebook comment!! Superior arguments and practical steps and not sentiments will get us there

"Are Nigerians aware the British PM only gets an annual grant of £30,000 for upkeep of his official living quarters? #‎BudgetCommonsense‬
How does Nigeria looks when we seek to borrow from UK to fund 2016 budget yet our expenses are higher than theirs? #BudgetCommonsense
I said except the President, we should all use personal cars because we look like fools if we spend more than our creditors #BudgetCommonsense
If the 2016 budget is passed as is, we will borrow ₦5 Billion daily. It will be irresponsible to spend debt on luxuries #BudgetCommonsense
Isn't it embarrassing to fly a Presidential jet to a country we want to borrow from and whose own leaders have none? #BudgetCommonsense
I practice what I preach. In chambers and publicly, I call for reduction in pay. I share my allowance with my Constituents #BudgetCommonsense
My name is Ben Murray-Bruce and I just want to make Commonsense!"

Love him or hate him; the truth is bitter!!

OAFMods:



The truth his bitter did his party not meet, fly 9 presidential jet yet purchase a 10th one or did is party not fly the presidential jets ? What did he n his party men did to correct this anomaly? Instead of creating did they not worsen it ? Did his party not plunge Nigeria into debt ? I am sorry Bruce is making common sense but it is sad you are unable to.

ehissi:


And what did Buhari's party do in Osun, in Imo and in Ekiti??

Did Fayemi - former Ekiti governor - not borrow #3billion Naira to build government house at a time when he was already owing 3months salary!?? Did aregbesola not run Osun into so much debt till he couldn't pay salaries for over 9months and even after billions of Naira in bailout funds he is still owing 4months salary till dateb!?? What about Rochas Okorcha that has sacked over 2000 workers, a man who is touted to have said that salary is a priviledge and not a right!!??

Has all the talk of change Buhari has promised made any meaningful impact in the lives of These people?

Does that nullify automatically whatever truth that Buhari has to say in Abuja!!

U see why I called you an unhealthy bunch of contradictions!?

I hope you are not a teacher in any school anywhere Ooh!! And for the sake of a bright future, please do not teach your children wrongly!!

The truth even in the mouth of a fool is still the truth; and a lie in the mouth of a wiseman is still a lie!!

The Messenger is not the message!! Learn to understand/distinguish the message as well as the messenger!!

Please Take note

As for the alleged "Sentimental PDP affiliation", its nothing but a myth. I don't have an affiliation to any party because no party in Nigeria has core, clearly stated principles that are unwavering - be they Umbrella wielder or broom carriers, or pineapple holders.
