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:



There can not be demand and you can not create demand until you eradicate foreign and imported alternative. Nigerians won't stop going to the cinema because they stopped showing American movies so why not stop showing imported movies to help the local movie industry just like the FG banned many imported products and items to help our local manufacturers.

Necessity is the mother of invention like they say.

Have he stopped shipping his money and children to America to get foreign education instead of OAU, UNN, UI and others in Nigeria?

Have the brainless twitter constituency hypocrite senator started any soccer team that Nigerian youths refused to patronize?

The man is nothing but a con man and bloody hypocrite who's always trying to have it both ways

And is this thoughtless twitter senator telling us that only young Nigerians supports foreign soccer clubs? Talk about ignorant generalization..

Dynamite02:
Don't mind them! Nigerians need thorough sensitization.....we are parasites to ourselves.
For that guy mind now he don give epic reply. Someone is telling you that your whole roof has blown off,you are busy pointing fingers back " what about your own roof that is leaking from a tiny rusted nail"?
Goat carry gold chain for neck the give you...you bone gold chain begin d look goat face

He who is free of sin should cast the first stone- Jesus Christ

Dynamite02:

That scripture comes in handy even when its not necessary.
When peter told Jesus "Be kind to yourself," he was only trying to be reasonable and empathetic ,yet Jesu chrisi rebuked him.
As for me and my household, made in Nigeria goods /services is our first choice.
Although they got low quality....with time they'll will improve esp. when we are ready to pay for good quality

godoluwa:
smh, i dnt think he meant you should stop watching foreign football match

tuniski:

Those downplaying the import of the common sense in the twit are actually the problem.

The average nigerian youth is screaming utd for life but, won't spare a moment on self improvement and innovation except Nairabet!!

redcliff:


Let me tell you how it makes the pound strong. You like their matches, you either watch it at a viewing center or have it at your house. You pay dstv for subscription or 100naira at the viewing centre. The viewing centre pays their subscription or dstv you pay subscription to pays for the righta to air the football match to sky sports in the uk. Those ones use the money to pay their workers who are not living in nigeria... so my friend thats how you are helping the epl and pound grow

Okijajuju1:


Nice retort..

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.

AZeD1:

I need to visit your shrine and drop some bottles of Orijin for Okija. I have no problem with his message but i have a problem with the messenger. What has stopped Ben from pushing through a bill that forces government agencies to buy made in Nigeria?

The senate and the presidency are about to spend billions purchasing cars, imagine what a buy naija bill would have done to the economy.

Common sense without the relevant laws backing them is noise making.

Winners do while losers tweet.

obynaDmob:

I wasnt referring to u sire..

AZeD1:

Erm, viewing centres are businesses run by Nigerians so we can confidently say the EPL has generated jobs in Nigeria.

What was your point again?

redcliff:


lol..where does the real money go? how does it make Nigeria richer? Do the Viewing centers pay their taxes? SMH?
