Why are we fussing ourselves on this man ish....? For cry out loud he is a politician, a deceiver and a smooth talker, I don't take politician seriously wen they speak, they mostly speak to impress not to express their main intents. Few days ago he posted made in aba foot wears and I smiled, knowing he probably bought the foot wears for his house help or less privilegem. We have loads of publishers here in Nigeria yet he tOok that money to the States. Shows he is just a sycophant and a sociopath who should not be counted serious. Abegi make we just bone him matter.......mchewwwww

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.

He has actually shown commitment to his campaign. You don't really expect him to get everything from Nigeria because of his campaign. He may have struck a better deal outside, or even signed a precontract agreement before starting his naira campaign.

Lets be open-minded pals, and stop accusing Murray based on the assumption that he know about the printing. Fine, he may know about it, and if so, he is a hypocrite. But as someone who works in one of the best publishing firms here in Nigeria with good foreign links, I can tell you that only a few printing press in Nigeria can give you the best in terms of printing. The likes of Afkar (owned by Bola Ahmed Tinubu but managed by a White man), Global Plus and Academy Press, all in Lagos, are among the few good printing presses in Nigeria that can rub shoulders with printing presses overseas, especially those in India, in terms of quality but not in prices - printing in India is cheaper. Therefore, publishing houses normally go outside the shores of the country to print. And in addition, the CHOICE OF WHERE TO PRINT belongs to the PUBLISHER NOT THE AUTHOR. Such things as where to print are hardly stated in Author-Publisher Contract, and the publisher, most often than not, do what seems best in terms of quality and price.

I know those in the business can ascertain this, and those who are willing to learn can research on this. Someone may be wondering why printing overseas is cheaper; they have got good machines which make work faster and the do not charge based on colour - a book with one colour is charged as a book with "four or full colours".

I havent read the book, so I do not know the context of the material and its targeted audience. If the principles within the bookl is meant for a macrocosmic audience, then the book needs a worldwide audience, so printing and especially distributorship by a Nigerian company will not capture that audience. You might want to argue that the context is Nigerian, but there are several millions of Nigerians in Diaspora.

Ben Bruce has been the ONLY voice of hope in this heat-permeating, electrically-inefficient, politically-myopic, economically-recessing contraption.

hypocrisy can not be hidden for too long.

What happened to Brilla Press grin grin grin
Naija ?

That Ben is just beefing up his credentials. His destination is Bayelsa Govt house / PDP Vice Presidential Candidate. Well, I see it differently. We certainly need to grow the Naira by consuming things/products manufactured in Nigeria. This is a fact! His message has found its roots in the hearts of right thinking Nigerians. Though, he didn't do well by printing his book in the U.S, assuming he did print it there, his message of growing the Naira is quite commendable. His likes should be in Politics. I fully subscribe to the Common sense Politics!

It will all be achieved with the common sense revolution. Thanks to the gullible masses who believed KIA Seoul was made in Nigeria.

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:

Your defence is annoying.

Even literary giants like Soyinka, JP Clark, Femi Osofisan have books published locally by University Press PlC, Ibadan and Spectrum.

An Orange Prize winner, Chimamanda Adichie's acclaimed novels, Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah were published by Farafina, a Nigerian publishing house.

Takadini was published by Literamed Publications Limited.

Hidden Star by the late South African literary genius, K. Sello Duiker was published by Cassava Republic.

Olusegun Obasanjo's My Watch was published by Farafina.

Go and check great and award winning books published by Krafts Books Limited based in Ibadan.

Well ..... first of all I doubt you are the reading type seeing as you cant even behave in a civil manner. Why the insults? I have not insulted you so please don't insult me. I am more than capable of raining down insults you probably have never thought about in your entire life.

Secondly, if you were an author you would care about the quality of your publishers work. After-all your aim for writing is to use your skills to do something creative and profit from it. I care about my book cover because it is what makes a first impression. If my book cover was shabby and poorly done I doubt you would ever take the time to even read the name of the book not to mention the content however good it might be.

I did not saying Nigerians are not capable.......my 2 books are with Nigerian publishers.
