Can you show only Nigerian movies in your Cinemas please, that is why the US dollar is so strong

maddock:
He should stop showing Hollywood movies in his cinemas and show only Nigerian movies.

ndcide:




Okija, You are an intelligent man. On this one it just didn't show. Politics and really reduced you. But I know you joke a lot.this must be a joke.

1. Yes he may have been elected, but for someone who is attacking the Presidency for picking aged cabinet members, he could have lived by his own standards by supporting a young member of his constituency to go for the position he currently occupies. But he didn't.

2. Buying one Innoson bus for his office when the rest of their fleet is all foreign is sheer hypocrisy. Innoson has been around doing this car thing for quite a few years now. Also Ben Murray Bruce's personal Cars are not Innoson. If that isn't hypocritical, I wonder what is.

3. Every time his cinema shows a foreign movie, Hollywood makes money. Every ticket he sells, puts money in the hands of foreign film makers. He has to pay for the license and rights to show those movies, that's forex going to foreign a nation. So he should live up to his own mantra and stop showing foreign movies and keep his cinemas 100% local content and also use his TV station to promote local football. As we speak, DSTV which is a South African media outfit contributes more to our local league than Ben Murray Bruce's Silverbird Tv. So isn't this hypocritical as well?

4. Kudos to his group for the pageantry. That's money in his hands which I have absolutely nothing against. But pageantry happens once in a while. Gov Duke put things in place to make Cross Rivers State a tourist destination that in turn increased the states tourism and local revenue. What has Bruce put in place in his Bayelsa that does that? Pagentry is an event, tourism is a destination thing. There is a difference. It's like saying because we host the World Cup, Nigeria is now a tourism destination.

To indict him even further, when he was the DG of NTA, what did he achieve to elevate NTA to a proper 21st century digital Satellite television station?

I maintain that Bruce is a hypocrite that does not live up to the standards he is setting for others.

He should focus on his constituents and start his campaign from there. If he works there, we will see it and he wouldn't need Twitter to blow his own horn. And donating his wardrobe allowance to Widows is a kind gesture, nothing developmental or sustainable about that so forgive me for not being impressed by such bullshit. Bayelsa as we speak faces issues of pollution, lack of clean water, poor access to good medical facilities, education, e.t.c.

For someone who supports the "common sense" senator, you seem not to see the hypocrisy in this. It's okay though, even Bruce does not seem to see it either.

I've never liked this epl of a thing. Our youths are the number one problem of this country and you'll still see them saying gibberish to justify their support for insane things.
America wasn't made with youths with such mentality (ever heard of policy of isolationism?). France wasn't made like this either.
Lemme stop here before they start with their annoying stuffs.

oga be sincere, as a businessman you sell what the people WANT (demand and supply, simple economics) the market is controlled by the consumers!!.......he cant be showing only nigerian movies when most nigerians wont watch it and he wont make profit, he is in business to make profit not loss! if he were showing only nigerian movies he wouldn't have been as popular as he is now. besides he does not have monopoly over that market, there are other cinemas around. you and i know that if he decides to only show nigerian movies, most nigerians wont patronize him!! #fact.............he will lose customers, they will rather not go to the cinemas or patronize other cinemas showing those movies......he will be making losses....its not feasible as a businessman.....how can u decide market for the end-users (consumers)...is just like you go to the market to buy salt and the woman gives you sugar, will you collect it ? ontop your own money? and u know what u want ? wont u rather check the next woman selling ? and if u dont see u leave ?.......my brother think!!.......he just wants to make common sense which he did........#forgetthemessengergrabthemsg

blazetitov:


Can you leave your office in the evening to go watch a Nigerian Movie for N1500 or N2000? I believe if there is demand for our own products, Silverbird will have no option but to show our own movies. We need to change our consumption culture/habit.

aresa:



Sadly for the thoughtless man, he's speaking today and every inconsistent and hypocritical rubbish he spews on twitter as a public official and not as a business man and the government policies he ignorantly criticizes everyday are official government policies and National issues, not business issues.

The fact that he also paid for and sent his own children to America to obtain the best education money can buy instead of Nigerian schools was done because he's business man?

Makes no sense...

FisifunKododada:
I don't even like this guy but he is absolutely right. Africans (especially Nigerians) have no shame. No white man would ever support an African team, no matter how great they are, they way we do. Africans are very low self esteem people. They have been colonially brainwashed and abused by their white overlords.

Okijajuju1:



Oga, our demand is dependent on quality. If the local movies had quality, we would patronize them. Many young directors are stepping up their game in this regard to be fair and that why people now go to see some of those few good Nigerian movies in the cinema.

Consumers would spend their hard earn funds only on things that give them good value for their money.

i ask again......... are we looking at the messenger or the message ?

christians say that God can use anybody even a hardened criminal to speak to man..............in african society, the gods have been said to use even mad men to speak to sane men and communities................. concentrate more on the message and not the messenger, two wrongs can't make right.

urahara:


If the African teams dey yapa. Africans would support them

ndcide:
1, His Cinema shows both Local and foreign movies.

2, He is on a crusade to make us think nigeria and buy nigeria. He just ordered Innoson vehicle
Is there anything wrong with that?

3, Let's stop looking at this from the narrow mindedness of politics.
4, Those questioning him are just being childish.

Wyttcat:
This man is trying hard to cover up something. Maybe he knows the Efcc may not be far away.

Rolings:


After waking up from a very deep slumber . So he is just knowing now that innoson manufacturer cars or that Aba made exists. Don't be fooled ,the man is just playing to the gallery .

lastpage:

Useless "Twitter Senator" who should be advocating "the slashing of the salary and wardrobe allowance of his equally useless NASS members.

ndcide:


Come on... Let him play to the gallery, but let the message be passed. he is a voice. Now that he is in the corridors of power he'll be more effective. Our president want's BMW.

If he did these things before now , you'll say the want's to seek elective office. Now he's there. let's support what is good.

mazizitonene:
he makes common sense only...................






to intelligent minds..............unfortunately such minds are very rare in youths of today



exactly what he's saying.......patronize made in nigeria products, if you patronize ONLY nigerian movies, they'l be forced to show ONLY nigeria movies.....he is a businessman so he must give people what they want for him to sell.........he cant be showing nigerian movies/matches when you "nigerians" are not interested in them.....abi u want make him company fold ?


if he shows only nigerian movies will you come and watch ?
thiis is business, you give the people what they want

DashMeYansh:
Ben Bruce is right. In the states, no matter what, you support the team in which city you grew up in or currently reside. I grew up in Maryland, and I am a proud Baltimore Ravens fan despite our shitty play this season(I wish we made it to the superbowl and showed Cam Newton how to DAB)

I would have probably disliked soccer if not for my Nigerian Household...Manchester United till I die...No one really watches the MLS and you expect Nigerians to develop their own brand. Fvcking joke of a man

1. Yesterday, you want Nigerian youths to participate and rule Nigeria.

2. Today, you are mocking the same Nigerian youths and blaming them for wrecking Nigeria even though they did not loot Nigeria or participated in formulating laws or policies like you and your looting and stealing PDP did for 16 years.

See mental confusion and common sense getting turned upside down by the not seo sensible twitter constituency brain-fart....
