“Because of a mere N11 billion debt, AMCON/Buhari and APC want to take over Silverbird”
“Buhari is simply going after his political enemies to silence them”
“The takeover of Silverbird is purely political witch-hunt”
“Is Ben Bruce the only person who owes money in Nigeria?”
“Dangote owes N209 billion but Bruce owes only N11 billion, yet Dangote is walking free”
"In fact, Buhari is a tyrant, Buhari is a dictator, a Hilter, a devil, a destroyer, we want freedom, bla bla bla…."


These are the sort cringe inducing statements spewed into cyberspace since yesterday by ‘the usual suspects,’ most of whom are supposed to be the so called leaders of tomorrow. 99% of the people spewing these thing have no clue what it means to service a loan, neither do they have a clue how AMCON operates.

They have also intentionally turned a blind eye or are just plainly ignorant of the fact that Ben Bruce is not the first person to have his business possessed; a mere application of the Common Sense which Mr Bruce has been trying hard to impart on these folks should have told them that bad loans have nothing to do with Buhari or APC or PDP or religion or region.

Just last month, AMCON possessed the business of Alhaji Sani Dangote (Bulk Pack Services Ltd) for bad loans; Sani Dangote is the younger brother of Alhaji Aliko Dangote. We did not hear this senseless cry of Buhari Buhari Buhari!!

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/debt-recovery-amcon-takes-dangotes-bulk-pack-services-ltd/

Just 3-4 days ago, this same AMCON also repossessed properties of Mr Jimoh Ibrahim due to a defaulted N50 billion loan, they even went further to freeze his accounts. We also did not hear any shouts of Buhari!
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/n50bn-debt-amcon-takes-jimoh-ibrahims-firms-freezes-bank-accounts/

Many other takeovers have been undertaken by AMCON in recent times from Bacita Sugar to G. Cappa to Bi-Courtney to Aero to Arik etc, most of these bad loans were bought by AMCON when they took over failed banks. All these happened under Yaradua, GEJ and then Buhari and never for once have we ever heard of people accusing the president for these, but now we have the Buhari hate factor.

It is sad to note how the reasoning of Nigerian youths have been so degraded; everything these days is viewed as witch-hunt, assault, attack, oppression and marginalisation even when glaring evidence proves otherwise. A lot of our folks need to emancipate themselves from this mental slavery.

To be fair to the Bruce.


They never scream Witch Hunt.

Like i discussed with friends just last night, the outcome of the election has just proven we have more educated illiterates than actual educated, by their use of words, analyses, and comments. It's rather sad that with every step forward for some of us, it's looks more like many steps back into the stone age "mentally" for most of them

There is hardly any businessman that is not owning, if you know the story Donald Trump how he was owning 99 banks in the early 90's to the middle 90's and how he bounced back. Ben Bruce produced Agbani Darego, he has been able to make people especially the youths, look at the rhythm unplugged they organise every year, he took some of our entertainers out of the street by giving them the platform to be seen and heard, see thousands of people he is employing they will feel their families, pay tax, pay school fees and they go to the market, you can see the multiplying effect to the economy.

The parties (Senator Ben Bruce & his brothers) in question never grumble about AMCON possession of their properties knowing fully well of their default.

Ben Bruce is the dumbest mofo on Earth. I wouldn't even sign-up on twitter if I were owing banks 1Billion Naira, let alone, 11Billion.

Now, I guess he must have realized how vacuously s.tupid he & his common sense campaign have been.[/quote.

It's really sad how a lot of people, for the want of a political argument, have wilfully decided to throw their common senses to the dogs... It's truly a frightening development.


The president himself had sown the seed of sentiment and suspicion in his so-called anti-corruption crusade by overlooking the alleged corrupt acts of his party members, hence it's completely illogical to bash those people that see Bruce's travail as witch hunt. Let the anti corruption war be holistic and the hue about witch hunt would die naturally.

Of course Ben Bruce is not an ediot, he's a man with common sense and he knows how these things work; he also knows that by taking the right steps, he would be able to regain control of his companies in no time. But i can't say so much about the hordes of wailers who as can be seen from this thread and others, have reduced themselves to glorified imbeciles all because of politics. It's a shame!

Obailala, u and I see tins clearly insame light! I never knew Nigerians re this unintelligent! Little wonder Okonjo Iweala, addressing employment problem some years ago, declared that Nigerians re simply unemployable. Her reason was that most unemployed Nigerians can't deliver. In plain words majority of Nigerians are dull.
Its sooooo sad for a pple whose faculty is sooo low that they believe almost anything without putting their brains to task! If for example Fowl-ose, the president of ipod, 2moro comes out to say, 'APC or Buhari is responsible for infertility amongst men of SE,' don't be surprised that pple will believe him.
That's jus how low intelligence has sunk in Nigeria.
Sadly, these yoots re the so-called 'leaders of tomoro'.
Once again may God reward u for taking soooo much of ur time educating Nigerians on simple tins they shud know!
Lalasticlala this is a very educating, informing and enlightening thread pls help push this to front page so our pple can learn.

Such has already been said. If I'm correct the SW is responsible for insecurity in Niger delta
