Like someone rightly said, Ben Bruce should settle his issues and AMCON will have no right to still keep Silverbird on lock-down. We should try to take away sentiments and tribalism in our judgement of issues.

I passed in front of the place around 2pm and it was still locked with fierce looking mobile policemen roaming about.

Amcon has also put dirty inscriptions on the walls of the building all around indicating a takeover.

I just pity those who rented business outlets at the galleria. Their loss yesterday was not nice at all in view of the exorbitant amount they pay as rent.

If indeed Amcon reopened the place later yesterday, I'm sure its chiefly because of other business concerns using the place.

I suppose you didn't understand what happened.

Let me help you out.

Silverbird galleria was not on lockdown or will not be locked down. That's not how AMCON takeover works. It's not an osusu thing.

AMCON simply put up a new management for the company, hence they have re-opened for business today. Silverbird is now operating under a management supervised by AMCON for the purpose of recovering the debt owed.

That is what just happened.

Am amazed at the manner of some NL who jubilate over this company's predicament, even if u hate BMB wat about the lots of staffs he has, a frnd works with him, but feeds others from its pay.why hating? ?? wen u can't even manage ur recharge card selling shop.

One of the Silverbird Group properties sealed in a receivership action by Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON, has been re-opened.
Normal business activities resumed on Thursday afternoon at the Silverbird Galleria in Abuja following a takeover of the company’s properties in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in the morning.

AMCON announced on Thursday, June 23, 2016 that it had taken over the assets of three of SilverBird Group businesses: Silverbird Galleria Limited, Silverbird Promotions Limited, and Silverbird Showtime Limited.
The three companies are companies are co-owned by Mr. Murray-Bruce and his brothers, Guy Murray-Bruce, Michael Murray-Bruce, as well as his son, Jonathan Murray-Bruce.
The latest move by AMCON came two months after the agency, established in 2010 to manage delinquent loans of big firms and individuals, appointed Muiz Banire as the receiver/manager of the companies, following an alleged failure to meet up loan obligations with Union Bank of Nigeria.
Banire is also the legal adviser of the ruling political party in Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Hypocrisy is always a hilarious story of a 2 faced morooon who only succeeds in fooling his other face that is himself.

I don't think it is political. Capital Oil was taken over at a time PDP was in power. I hope the Murray-Bruce brothers sort out this issue. Silverbird has provided quality service to citizens.

Last month, the assets of Sani Dangote was seized... The brother of Aliko.

Jimoh Ibrahim was also seized a few days ago.

Are they also political opponents? If BMB paid his debt, there will be no issue. No one is persecuting him.

tonio2wo:

Very good! Then why is this case all over if its not to tarnish the common sense campaign. They dont ave anything against bruce so this is the best they can come up with.

tonio2wo:

And was it all over the news? Why make this case a big fuss?

tbaba1234:


Because of his popularity and the fact that he has been advising government on common sense economics but could not apply same to his firms.

mrvitalis:
Now Mr Bruce... watch as someone with real common sense manage and pay of ur dept
Withing a short time

But wait is Bruce this dumb that he borrowed 11bn since 2005 and could not pay 11 years after?? And he has common sense??

This is the real corruption in this country... And I blame the banks too

tonio2wo:

Actually I think he did! That why he went for d loan in d first place. You just said dangote, n his bro borrowed too, and am sure it was invested in thier business. Moreover dangote is far more popular than ben.

Go back to school for some common sense mr. A company is a separate entity. The company borrowed not BMB. Plus how is that corruption?
You gotta be smarter than your phone please.

tbaba1234:


Aliko Dangote's brother's assets were seized last month. Not Aliko himself. There is a difference.

Loans that he failed to service for more than a decade??

kaylivin:
please , who is the hypocrite ,, this is the dumb est response have seen on naira land , someone raised a good opinion and all u can do is accuse him of hypocrisy with ur dumb theory ..ur self esteem don dey low battery ..

And who is the chairman of that company? ?

Never knew silverbird was a public treaded company

OlowoB:
At least every businessman or woman in this country will sit up and know watssup. Majority of all this billionaires just collect loans and and don't pay back. That time is over and gone.

Tomorrow, something big is about to happen. Please check my signature.

Etinosajay:


Statement above is not a correct one.


AMCON will not close down any company until the debtor pays. That's now how the law empowers them to operate.

Yesterday was just the take over. In. Couple of days, the company will open for normal business, but under AMCON's management.
