A young guy on twitter gave an Epic response to Mr so called common sense.

Re: Epic Response To Ben Bruce On Super Eagles Jersey(photo) by SalamRushdie: 8:30am On Jun 02, 2018
So sad that many of the youths don't get his point or maybe it was the way he phrased it ?

So you that get his point accurately, can you paraphrase and break it down so that others can understand him?

The truth is that BMB lack the common sense he preaches and that is why young Nigerians find it so easy to roast him on TwitterNG

You can’t reap where you did not sow, that is the essence of the reply from that young man that replied him

What is epic about this response?? We Nigerians like to believe we are very smart and think highly of ourselves. But in truth we aren't! just look at our leaders and tell me how you can reconcile this absurdity that only daft, slowpokes, brutish and greedy politicians lead a population of "smarties".

All this witty comebacks or comments we post on social media don't change a damn thing about our sorry state. There is sense in what Ben Bruce said. Instead of criticizing every comment along the lines of political affiliation, think of what the average Nigerian would stand to benefit.

Oh...I forgot our current crop of leaders and even some of citizens don't have the capacity to reason above acquiring houses, cars, corruptly enriching themselves and other frivolities.

Get your PVCs people! Nothing short of a Total Reset is what we need in Nigeria.

Common sense is not always common, Nike is not a tailoring company, 50% of what contributed to the selling out of the jersey is the reputation of the company, sponsorship bidding is competitive, it is not like political appointment where the oga at the top selects mediocres.

Don't forget the beautiful design is a Nike concept, we might have ended up with aseobi looking jerseys if we opted for an Aba designer

So it’s so difficult for any one you to explain?

Who in Aba will be willing to guarantee to tie down $100M in inventory and build such brand and marketing
You all are making this noise because NIKE gamble turned out to pay off...what if their sales of the jersey flopped and they incurred losses! Would you all be writing this rubbish including BMB ?

Which epic response is that

People that just read two lines and jump to conclusions

What Bruce is saying is that, it could be manufactured in Nigeria, Aba to be precise

We have the man-power

It's not impossible, it a bargain that can be struck if the Federal government played their cards very well

Any government that is thinking of developing Nigeria's economy should know that!

It's common sense undecided


AZeD1:

Nike paid NFF for the rights to make the Jersey and the NFF has no say in were it is made.
Na him be say FG made money for themselves without thinking about the Nigerian economy

FG is not helping our economy at all

Is any thing wrong in having a sport company in Nigeria

What will it cost to have one in Aba

APART FROM the change that could have been made, imagine the EXPOSURE

Rubbish! Sport wears marketing is quite different from giving contracts like you are sounding!!

Nike paid the piper, and they can dictate the time!

Who in Aba can promote the jersey brand the way NIKE did internationally!

So much mediocre thinking

You don't have have to be insultive undecided

Do you know the meaning of bargain

We are talking about developing the Nigerian economy

Surely the bargain takes care of who get what even the percentages will be discussed

Everyone would be winners

Or how do you think the economy is developed

Is it not people coming to invest in your country

Please note that marketing and manufacturing are two different things

When goods are manufactured, you pay the manufacturers then marketing is another ball game entirely

Nobody is insultive

The Senator should go and sit somewhere.... He Published his book in USA. So he is telling us that there is no good publishing companies in the Country.... I believe the man is never serious with his buy Naija grow Naija campaign... He Employed an Indian as the GM of Silverbird meaning that no competent Nigerian to take the position...

lol Marketing And Manufacturing Are Birds Of Same Feather One Cannot Survive With Out The Other, U Cant Seperate The Two, And Just So U Know Nike Started Advertising,hyping And Creating A Market Audience Before They Started Manufacturing, Sponsoring Sport Kits Is The Work Of An Established Firm, Who Can Convince Stake Holders And Create A Wide Market Both Local And International, Not Aba Tailors

You're a lady, so I guess you know little or nothing about sport merchandise.
Even far developed countries either opt for Nike or Adidas, puma, unbro, Reebok or other well known sport designers. In the world of football wears, its Nike, Adidas and the rest.
No up coming companies can beat them in sponsorships. And in sporting world it's all about the money and not some primordial sentiments or lame analysis you're trying to put up.

Ben Bruce should learn to keep shut on issues that he lacks knowledge of.

Oga you misfiring.

NIKE , ADIDAS ,PUMA sports wears are made in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Burma... which of these countries are better than Nigeria?

There's a difference between domestication (local manufacturing) of product and sponsorship of a team.

Sports companies actually pay teams to make their kits, the sports company then makes it money by selling to the general public with the team also taking a small percentage.

So Nike paid the NFF to make the Nigerian Jersey.

The guys that responded to the senator do not seem to understand what the senator is saying.
Sponsorship has nothing to with where the shirts are made.
I can recall some years ago when Hummel wanted to kit the SEs. Part of their offer included setting up a factory in Nigeria to make the Nigerian jersies.
We should be concerned about what the Asians offer Nike that we cannot offer or better still negotiate better sponsorship deals that will ensure factories are built to make jersies in Nigeria.

The follow up was an after thought, after his intitial foolishness was pointed out, more like damage control

Encouraging NIKE is different from questioning the rationale for not giving the Aba Tailors the business of making the jerseys thus “the economy losing money” he put at #100 M

Lolzzz... Nike, Adidas etc. are business firms after profit making, they're not responsible for the development of Nigeria. who/where they contract the sewing and manufacturing of their sportwears to is solely their prerogative.
Sponsoring/kitting Nigeria doesn't compel them to contract their production to some Aba boys without a corporate tag or ISO certification.
Even Eyimba FC of ABA no dey use Aba designers... lol, they're being kitted by Umbro (England).
Your Arguments lack common sense.

You lack comprehensive reasoning.

Did Ben Bruce ask that NIKE be compelled?

and who says they can't make profit if they manufacture from Aba?

The biggest comparative advantage Nike has by setting up in Asia is cheap labor and don't they have cheap labor in Nigeria?
