[quote author=MissingBudget post=43198597]If you know anything about publishing, you will know that our publishing houses here are not up to standard. He wants the best for his book. Get over it. Maybe when he needs quality medical attention he should also go to Nigerian hospitals and die abi?





hello, I guess u should have heard about Macmillan, University press PLC, Evans brothers and lots more....these are publishing companies that are in Ibadan, the have published many award winning novels, they published novels by our profs that won Nobel prize, they have branches worldwide so I don't think if he wants worldwide sales he can't make it with them.....if can even sell more than Woke Soyinka or Chinua Achebe's novels......Even the Mighty Cyprian Ekwesi's ( I sure I didn't get the spelling right) books were published by these companies and are all over the world.....I have always seem him as an attention seeker and I don't blame pple that follow him....its their choice.....I'm just happy his yansh don blow open

Senator Ben Bruce is urging us all to patronise goods and services made in Nigeria and priced in Naira right? Is there anything wrong with that? I have been doing that whenever I get the opportunity, and that was why I was the first people to buy Glo line to encourage them to grow. SBB put his money where his mouth is by using HIS RESOURCES to buy made in Nigeria vehicles (INNOSON) and assembled in NIgeria car (KIA SOUL) and using his presence on social media to give free adverts and visibility to them; is there anything wrong with that?

This same SBB attended a made-in-Aba (NIGERIA) products exhibition in Abuja, ordered some items and gave them free publicity on his social media platform, as well as granting the producers free space in his malls to display and make their goods available to more people in the country, did he do bad? Is SBB delivering a repugnant message, or some people just dont like the fact that SBB is the one delivering that message, which if we all, especially the government, embrace will actually improve our economy, and enhance our pride as a people? I actually like the PROSUMER word that he coined -- consuming what we produce. We will always find fault in others if we look hard enough, but will that solve our problems?

I think the title of the book and the cover photo makes a lot of sense.
It is his common sense that needs revolution.

It beats my imagination that this mans albino skin and his falsly concocted name makes him feel a whole lot like a white man.

If this man wanted a classic printing press but couldn't find one in Nigeria, its a good reason to set up one, because I think he has the money.
But the truth is there are very many classic publishing companies in Nigeria. Ts simply lack of "common sense".

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:

If sense was common, every mad man would have had it, including the albino without a common sense.

Not forgeting propaganda preachers like GEJ worships, IPad/Biafra, and all those who opened 2nd nairaland account with fake names inn order to broadcast hate messages and propaganda.

Sense is not common. Receive it IJNN

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.



Ur diction makes U sound smart

EDITED: I agree to making an inferior case above, but I won't cower and delete it. And please stop quoting to insult me. It is my opinion, though faulty.

You are so dumb! Publishing firms such as Kachifo, Cassava Republic are damn good printers and their records are there. Obasanjo's "My Watch" is a testament to solid, quality, Nigeria-based publishers.

You have the right to worship Ben Bruce and anything PDP, but shut up and don't make comments on things you do not have any clue about! Daftie...

That Ben is just beefing up his credentials. His destination is Bayelsa Govt house / PDP Vice Presidential Candidate.

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

"My Name is Ben Bruce, I just want to make ConMan's sense to the gullible."

over to u Bruce


it cud be a typo error or maybe APC was trying to set him up or maybe he composed the book ova there in USA.
am sure he wld come up with a good defence.
After all,he is a social media senator.




bottom line-
believe any politician at ur own risk.

[size=13pt]The fact that his purchases are not 100% Nigerian does not take away credit from the idea that we must continue to shift our purchases towards Nigerian from non-Nigerian and does not erase everything done by him and others to encourage this trend.

:: Buying made in Aba shoes.
:: Creating space for made in Aba shoes to be sold in Silverbird malls nationwide
:: Public buying of Innoson Car. Good promotion for the Nigerian car maker.

It is foolishness to call a man that will invest his hard-earned money and not oil block money, into buying made in Naija and providing logistics for made in naija to thrive, a hypocrite, when he has put his money, and continues to put his money/resources, where his mouth is, simply because obviously not 100% of his purchases are currently Nigerian.

Is there anyone who has put his money (or even govt money) where his mouth is on this issue like Mr. Bruce? They have neither put their own money (nor govt allocations) where their #buyNaija mouths are and yet it is Ben Murray-Bruce that attracts such dubious and fraudulent criticisms.

It would seem to me, that folks found on this track are kantankerous souls not committed to any form of worthy ideal but are only driven by a dark heart against anything that seems to shine bright and good, which probably does not seem to be coming out of the political clique they wished it was coming out from.

If Ben Bruce feels Nigerian publishing houses are not up to standard, then he has no business promoting "made in Nigeria". Aba made shoes cannot compare with the standard of Italian made shoes. Even innoson cars cannot measure up to the standard European, US or Japanese cars, so why should anybody buy made in Nigeria.
