Hi People,

Mr common sense senator has been very vocal on social media about issues affecting the federal government.

I think that is great but he seems to be less vocal about the Senate where he was elected to represent his constituency. I find this to be quite hypocritical.

What new legislation has Mr. Common sense promoted to better the lives of Nigerians or his constituency? He was not elected to present his ideas on youtube.

Create legislation to promote your ideas.

Until Mr common sense starts to tackle his primary obligations, It is difficult to take him seriously.


How many times have you watched the Senate Proceedings?

True, but Bearing in mind this ideology he equally made us to understand that printing your book in US is better Than in Nigeria. ....[b]hypocrite [\b]



Nd has made Us understand that the senate bought SUVs from outside the country, then distributed them among themselvs..(I now knw wht they are like in th senate)...So ..He has helped...
In summary, he made us understand that he lost his common sense comment when his colleagues were lavishing our money


wht has Ur own senator done...?
My senator has not claimed Mr fixer of all the problems in 9ja. ......nor claimed to be the Mr common sense man senator. This isnt about about my senator, the earlier you realise this, the better for you

some Nigerians can be very funny..Ben Bruce is a champ on Twitter and a docile figure in the house,you ought to ask more salient questions cos his constituency does not pay him salary nor furniture allowance..it is from our collective common wealth that he get paided..His work and antecedent in the Chamber is what we need and not Twitter rants nor You tube videos...He might owe primary responsibility to his constituency but he is a Nigeran Senator and that means he owes a duty to Nigerians in general... Mr "Commonsense" actually needs commonsense himself!!!!!!
Couldn't have said it better

Bruce came on his own and started offering us solutions to national problem (who ask am?? ) ... Try to debate him on those solutions u get blocked

Ask anyone from BRASS his presence is not felt... If not for Jonathan and PDP Rigging..... SYLVA is for more popular than him in brass

The guy felt Nigerians are dummies that u just say anything to and they believe... . His theories are I'll thought out and non workable

Back to the question. .... What bills has he been able to sponsor for this Nigerians he so love

And if he feels only his constituency should ask him question then let him address his next tweet and videos to them
with this your comment you have proved to be far more intelligent than Ben Bruce and know him inside out.He fears people like you and would never engage in any debate with your likes.keep it up!

he rejected the said car, check his TL on Twitter,

He rejected car on what condition? For your information, he named his own brand which was innoson, which means if the Jeep presented to him was an innosson brand, he would have taken it.

Check the source where you get the information from and your eyes will be opened.

Mr Bruce 's Common sense series is one of the greatest service a senator of his kind have ever done.

Only Goats take his common sense series for granted.
I'll take Bruce to our senator remi tinubu
In fact, Mr Bruce is the senator that has affected most Nigerians positively than all other senator. You think national orientation is a joke. That man is a trail blazer jare..

If he runs for president, I'll vote for him. No sentiments here. People now use common sense because of his advocacy. So effective.

Lastly if Senator Bruce wasn't doing anything. @op, will not open this thread.

Why did he not open a thread for his senator.

Leave thrash for LAWMA naa... Just mention his contribution/achievements as a Senator.

Is it that you have comprehension problem or what? From the tweet above, it is crystal clear that he rejected the brand not the car. In other words, he is ready to accept the car so far it is made in Nigeria.

Get your fact right.

People always say that this senator or that senator doesn't speak in the Senate (popular victims are Ben Murray Bruce and Remi Tinubu), but I know that the truth is that these people do not follow events at the National Assembly.

The NTA has a show called "From The National Assembly". It's usually shown everyday from 11am (live) and 2am (repeat). They usually alternate between the Senate and the House Of Representatives. Anybody that watches that show will know that the claim that these senators do not speak in the Senate is false.

The Senate also has a Twitter handle @NGRSenate which live tweets the proceedings in the Senate.

Whatever may be your primitive assertion, the fact still stands that he didn't receive the car based on anti-corruption perspective, but in the perspective of the brand of the vehicle, which was not made in Nigeria because he made it clear that he will only receive made in Nigeria.

I am happy to know that you are making use of your deeper mental horizon now.

This is the problem with many many, a senator is like every other Nigerians, so he has a right to hear his views about political issues on social media. To me i see his outspokeness in social as an opportunity to engage him on some national issue on social media, and also let him know the plight and pains of the people. So he can convey such messages to his colleagues in senate. Which other senator is more social media friendly compared to him. We should be thinking along this direction rather than criticizing him.

No blame has been apportioned.

I am talking about legislative duties. What are his contributions?

Senators are not paid heavily to make YouTube videos.
What you need to know about Senator Ben Bruce, is that he's a social personality. He has every right to be on social media as every other persons. Ask your self this simple question, when last have you chat online with the senate representing ur constituency? Or is ur constituency perfect without complain, if not, then you have to call demand to order. Leave him alone for Bayelsans
