Who is Genuine in Nigeria?

Senator Ben Murray Bruce turned 60 yesterday, he took the opportunity to launch his book "The Common Sense Revolution" but it's sad to see that the event in its totality portrays the average Nigerian Politician.

Usually, I hate to attend these so called "Big" events but it was Ben Bruce, the common sense guy, I jumped at the Opportunity to go with my department, department of Mass Communication, University of Lagos as we were invited with a letter and we were feeling all important. We didn't know it was an invitation to humiliation.

At the venue, we were told to go upstairs, we didn't mind, as they said that area was reserved for students. Getting there, I realized it was a perfect view to watch the "Elites" wine and dine. Still, we didn't care. We only began to care when the ceremony kept going on and all tables kept getting additional contents and we were just there, like Observers. Don't forget that we were invited, as I said earlier.

While all of that kept happening, I still didn't care because they said every guest will get a free copy of the book. I wanted the book so, I waited on. At the end, only the guests got the Book. I had to look at our invitation to be sure we were guests. Yes, we were guests but the stiff class stratification that Senator Bruce Criticizes came to play.

It's so sad to see that the actions of the Common Sense Guy justifies the "Common Sense is not so common" statement.

Since I know it's all fake, I'd like to give a professional PR advice. It's so bad, if you invite Nigerian Students, who will, to a large extent, determine your political success, to an event only for them to watch you and your rich friends dine. Their votes aren't even enough.

Writing a book about Common Sense doesn't actually make you have Common Sense. We aren't hungry people. We are Unilag Students and we are contented with what we have, we wouldn't go to shop 10 to sweet-talk anyone about common sense, just to get rice.

Happy Birthday, Senator Ben! Thanks for the deceit, segregation and above all, thanks so much for the Palm oil made Jollof Rice with a meat-like object.

I am Abidemi Adesokan, A concerned Nigerian Student who believes there is hope for Nigeria, but Bruce isn't just that guy.

assuming you reject the food. we for take you serious...but you collect food chop. clean mouth. come here dey rant how you 're not hungry.


sue him na.

ingrate.

yeye dey smell

iwuemma:
were you guys tagged special guest of honor?

i dont get the rant!

you want Ben Bruce to serve you personally? spoon feed you guys and hand you guys his book because you guys are guest and from Unilag?

will you say you havent been to a party and service was not carried out properly?
say you havent and you clean your mouth for lying.

event management is one problem , no matter the organizer.
those that managed the events mismanaged it , so holding it against Ben is crass stupidity.

must he be everywhere?

and you using this to cast aspersion on him because he didnt spoon feed you guys? very laughable..

and imagine the hate, you are taking pictures and snapped the food he served you guys?
his own money?

aint you an ingrates..
quite pathetic.

and if he didnt invite you, you would say he despise the student.

they sent you guys up for you to see all that happened.

instead to aspire to do greater things as a masscomm student you are casting aspersion and painting him on the bad light..


knowing fully well that your rant will dent his image as an opposition ..

you also forgot it was live program, so am yet to hear people confirm the humiliation at his birthday..

how many boook lunch have you attended and you got the book free , even to the point it reached everyone!?

probably they ran out of copies!
SO DOES THAT make him bad?


how much do people pay to attend shows by your favorite musicians?
you saw them free of charge and you dey complain?

are you okay?

I used common sense to derive the question i asked you.
not everyone will agree with me but you know they are true.

enjoy your teem drink man....

thank you Jare...expect anything from the janjaweedian camp. why he no reject the food.

LMAO...

Wat do u think

Abagworo:
Increased housing leading to joining of hitherto separate towns is normal but in some circumstances the later urbanised one allows itself to be part of the other. As at 1996 Nekede, Orji, Egbu, Ubomiri and Mbieri were quite distinct settlements from Owerri but today even Irette is urbanised.

The difference between the 2 cases is that Obosi can never accept being under Onitsha and vice versa while Orji and Egbu have accepted being part of Owerri who in fact is even their offshoot..

which nakede. nakede is a typical village. the only activity thr is d school thr. U people can glorify. tufiakwa.

LouisVanGaal:
Typical Nigerians, attacking the OP's personality without engaging him intellectually! I'm NO student of economics, but the OP might be right...EVERY great theory today was a BIG RISK @ the initial stage...

you don't need to be an economist to know dis dude is not making sense. if according to him the looted fund reserve is changed from dollar to naira in d black market...it will only mop up d money in circulation. besides thr is no way government will use the black market...



you don't expect us to engage a delusional theory. people don't just engage for engaging sake. this guy 've opened about 7 thread spewing dis same thrash. he refused to learn and take correction.

me I personally think he escaped from yaba left.

some think he is related to emperor musiwwa

.....can ₦airalanders change for once? instead of engange on consructive critics and counter views to your opinion they resulted in insulted you and you family, they never ralise that insult is a sign of weakness and cowardness! they can't face the truth and reality, their main aim is not how to put forwards a genuine idea on how to make their nation great, but how to pull her down, challenge any other idea with counter views instead of play the "card of known all " with dead theories, that unapplicable western education (dead theory) put on their head in school and higher institutions!
I've challege you several times on this platform but no one dare to face me with any tangible counter views to pull me on the wall! you were cowards!

here are some of my theory.....can you challenge me! no offensive language!

[b]1. ....there are very many commentary on depreciation of ₦ nowadays expecially in parallel market, although parallel or black market can be manipulated by the traders, they either do it on their self interest, so those who doesn't beleive in the prosperity of nigeria can harbour $ as they can on imported goods hereby cause hike!
But in my own point of view the depreciation of ₦ is a great success to this nation if well manage to nigeria situation today. the looted fund is in $ and it must be refunded back in $, so if $1 is ₦198 when the money is looted, then if the money is refund today at $1 to ₦350 the nation has gained ₦152!
imagine if $1=₦1000, the gain is ₦902!
So in conclusion if the government managed to refund the $trillion looted and the refunded money, change it in parallel market, this will reduce the pressure on ₦ and the scarcity of $ in parallel market so the ₦=$.

(take note all the money took out of CBN during jonathan regime were changed in parallel market before ditributed)

you have other opinion? [/b]

2. ...2017 budget will beat record... ₦1 quadrillion!, all the social sectors will be substantially finance to trillions ₦, poverty will be completely eradicated and by the end of year 2018 Nigeria will be declared a developed state and classify one of the first three country in the index of human .
I know you will argue on how this can happen with the economics situation of today, low foreign reserve, low oil price, with depreciation of ₦.
yes oil price is down, foreign reserve is dry but we still have foreign looted fund reserve at hand! when recovered and well managed, it won't be problem to have money for this budget!
we can only pray that a $ hit ₦1000 and all $1 trillion looted recovered!
I know for sure that with the determination of this government and the support of foreign nation to help recovered all $ trillion looted it will happen.....$1 trillion recovered and change to ₦ will give us ₦1 quadrillion needed to financ that budget!
year 2017 bye bye to poverty!

3. ....OIL AND LFR
[b] THE TWO MAIN MEANS OF INCOME FOR NIGERIA ECONOMY
.....with the determination of Nigeria president Buhari and the trust of of world leaders toward nigeria, from America, Eroupe, Asia and gulf nation the down price of oil and the rise in $ is not a corse to nigeria but a blessing.
Among the oil producing countries, and OPEC only nigeria have what other didn't, we have oil in common but nigeria have the looters as well, this opportunity raise nigeria above other oil nation and when all this country are frustrated with oil down price, nigeria have turn to her looted fund reserved to keep her economy running.
Nigeria is bless with oil and (LFR) looted fund reserve, when the oil price is down, the rise-up of dollar $ hike the value of our LFR, if government inject the LFR recovered on the economy, it will boot our economy!
at rate of $ to ₦ today if government managed to recovered $1 trillion LFR it will give us:

$1=₦400, $1trillion=₦400trillion!
I hereby challenge the Nigeria economists who insist that rising $ and downwards of oil price is a broke to nigeria economy to come-up for debate!
Note (LFR is looted fund reserve)[/b]

How do u expect one to engage u when it's obvious to everyone except you dat you 're daft....

Such a stup!d man! If Innocent Chukwuma had his mentality, wont have built Innoson at Nnewi, Or Barth Nnaji wont have built geometric at Aba, or Chikason wont have built kotec battries & tommy tommy noddles at Nnewi. I have not heard or seen any factory built by either Yorubas or Hausas in the East! Tommorow They will threaten him with genocide. Imagine the employment opportunities, revenue etc he is creating there while East is looking for such investors!!

chicason does not own kotec.

what I don't understand is if talking about aisha buhari s presence is more important than the factory. which is supposed to be d news here

Apart from Imo , mention another place u see Oba Yoruba. And i bet u whatever reverence he enjoys from d Yorubas is based on his personal leadership quality. And it can never b like the
way the Ibo are going abt dia Eze Ndigbo stuff. Almost getting to the level of agitating for autonomy in anothers man territory. Nobody, i say nobody can do that in Ibo land. Go to Ibo states and see if u can point to any reasonable number of people from other tribes who succeeds in business in Ibo land.

pls tell me how many Yoruba succed in business even in Ur so called lagos.

Rolings:
If dollar like make e be 1000 naira it will still come back down . Ordinary citizens don't have need for the dollars it's the elites like you that are shouting and it's the elites like you that caused it because when we were earning a lot of dollars you all didn't save for this rainy days ,the elites spoilt Nigerians with foreign goods instead of producing locally , some elites because they wanted to win elections were bribing people with dollars some economy minister was drawing salary in dollars . Now we don't earn as much dollars as we should so we need to save dollars for raw materials for industries and critical machineries and equipment. We don't need to give people dollars to import toothpick, tomato paste, whisky, and other luxury items and anybody that insist on bringing in those things should source the dollars wherever they want we want our economy to grow. The pain of this dollar increase is temporary and with time Nigerians will be cured of the insane appetite for foreign goods and will consume Nigerian made products .

don't dabble in topics u kno nothing about. even Ur dog need dollars. Nigeria is a dollar based economy.
