I would have taken this Bruce serious if he has been this vocal when his fellow country Otueke fisherman was running the affairs of this Nation like a Banana Republic.Asap everything was perfect to him when stealing is not a corruption was in the affairs of government.

The lady tweeting at the APC handle shows the senator has really gotten under their skin... so they have been looking for any means to rein him in... and this book aptly presented itself. Fair game.

was the book writing and publish before the Naira started sliding against the Dollar or after?
obiremy:
Vocal politician, Ben Murray-Bruce may just be the perfect example of popular saying ‘practice what you preach.’

Yesterday, Nigerians proved they were watching the politician closely when someone went on Twitter to ‘expose’ the Silverbird CEO for doing the exact opposite of what he has been advocating for weeks now: #BuyNaijatoGrowTheNaira.

At his 60th birthday party,which took place a few days ago in Abuja, Mr. Bruce launched his A CommonSense Revolution book and shared free copies to guests in attendance. One would naturally think the ‘common sense’ speaker would have published his book in Nigeria but it appears the Senator has more faith in the American printing press.

The observant Nigerians shared book on Twitter saying : So, #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira advocate made his book in the USA. Haba! Immediately Nigerians reacted and they took heavy shots at Mr.bruce calling him a ‘hypocrite’ and a ‘noise maker’. One person even went as far as calling him a ‘first class fool.’

See their reactions above:

Dem don come again oooo!!!

How many serious presses do you have in Nigeria?

2 of my books that I have been trying to publish with a supposedly reputable printing press (name withheld) for over 2 years now is not even close to seeing the light of day despite the fact that it has been approved by the company's editors. If I have this opportunity Ben Bruce has, I wont even think twice.

Abeg make all of una go siddon find something worthwhile to do jare


who cares if its sub-standard....what is writing in the book,is what we care about,not the beautiful,elegant superior,masterpiece book cover...

you want to tell me,we nigerians are not capable of printing readable books??,,,,,,are you mad!!!.... angry angry angry

Didn't want to join this discussion but I need to respond to this. There is nothing you want to print outside Nigeria that you can't print here, Nothing! The Print industry in Nigeria is very well developed, you will see inferior print, good enough and HIGHLY QUALITY PRINT, Pls look for another excuse.

And who is he printing his books for? People from the moon? Is it not for Nigerians, what quality will suffice?

Ben bruce brought this upon himself, in Nigeria when you play politics, you must ready for the long haul. The moment Ben bruce came into the political soccer field with his twitter rants especially with his attacks whether constructively or not, I knew it was only a matter of time before guys will find a loophole to try and even scores with him.

I support his 'buy made in naija' campaign but some of his previous twitter rants especially when the price of fuel was fixed at 86.5 naira per litre were a 'no no' for me. Ben bruce should play his political game more wisely cos he will meet more of this on his political journey

None of this block heads would figure that all this are propagandas,one thing wrong and everyone is against him already.so all the positive and push to make us reason well and do the right thing has been swept under the carpet.i would not criticize him becuz he has proved he means well for the growth of the Nigerian economy for nw until we hear from him it's really hard to jump into conclusion.atleast he has done wat many senators didn't use their common sense to do so far.

I guess you have not heard of Macmillian, Spectrum, Kachifo, Lantern, even University Press. These printing agencies publish books of high quality that can compete with Penguin, McGraw or Bantam.

I am responding to you because of the manner in which you replied. I agree my earlier argument was inferior because I actually know about publishing in Nigeria. That said, I feel he published with the company that offered him a better deal plus good marketing structure.

The publisher of a literary work goes a long way to affect the reach. A worldwide renowned publisher gives your book a worldwide reach. How many of such publishers do we have in Nigeria?
You don't need any special reach for a car or a shoe. I will only call him an hypocrite if his suits are made in Italy.

I have never and will never believe this Ben 'BRUISE" guy,
his common sense is so worthless and so common that it is
every where like pure water, thereby losing its value.
Talk of publishing his useless book in the US and still come back
to cajole both his paid and unpaid sorrowful followers to #buynaijagrowthenaira

After all,he is a social media senator.

It's a fact: you're a fool. The dictionary has a meaning for "fool" and the meaning is not "insult". Check it out

Then he shouldn't be the one to champion the #BuyMadeInNigeriaGoods Campaign if he can't find any good enough company in Nigeria as large as the Print Industry is and their quality level, he should just keep quiet because he doesn't believe in what he's saying.
