Mariecakes:[size=14pt]Actually, his book is on Amazon. I am not aware that Nigerian publishers can get (or have been getting) their writers' books on Amazon. I see it is on US Amazon (www.amazon.com) as well as the French, Indian, German and Japanese Amazon. Every Nigerian publishing company has the opportunity to be able to have such reach as long as the owners are alive and not dead. Nobody "gives" anyone "the opportunity". No one also takes it from anyone. The opportunity lies with every healthy person that is alive. God putting you on this planet is the opportunity. How can you ask someone to give you the opportunity to pluck fruits from the general village mango tree - when everyone else that wants some just goes ahead and gets some for himself? Have you heard of the term, "Learned Helplessness"? It is actually a term and it actually exists. Just google it. [/size] |

Rossikk: [size=13pt]The fact that his purchases are not 100% Nigerian does not take away credit from the idea that we must continue to shift our purchases towards Nigerian from non-Nigerian and does not erase everything done by him and others to encourage this trend. :: Buying made in Aba shoes. :: Creating space for made in Aba shoes to be sold in Silverbird malls nationwide :: Public buying of Innoson Car. Good promotion for the Nigerian car maker. It is foolishness to call a man that will invest his hard-earned money and not oil block money, into buying made in Naija and providing logistics for made in naija to thrive, a hypocrite, when he has put his money, and continues to put his money/resources, where his mouth is, simply because obviously not 100% of his purchases are currently Nigerian. Is there anyone who has put his money (or even govt money) where his mouth is on this issue like Mr. Bruce? They have neither put their own money (nor govt allocations) where their #buyNaija mouths are and yet it is Ben Murray-Bruce that attracts such dubious and fraudulent criticisms. It make bold to say that folks found on this track are kantankerous souls not committed to any form of worthy ideal but are only driven by a dark heart against anything that seems to shine bright and good, which probably does not seem to be coming out of the political clique they wished it was coming out from.

I think we may not know who the best is but we sure do have a feeling about who is the worst, inspired by our current economic situation. |

[size=13pt]We complained some time ago that we didn't see the Buhari Administration doing well especially when a lot of time was wasted in getting ministers appointed and when long-awaited list of ministers was released. Many said it was too early to complain or judge. I personally thought it was too early but after the ministerial list had come out, I felt I had seen the inner workings of the mind(s) at the helm of affairs and what I saw was not impressive or promising at all to say the least. Now and almost a year into office are we still supposed to give the president (or the administration in general) time to galvanize his team in a definite and defined political direction? If we are to, how long are we supposed to wait? Almost 25% of this tenure is gone. The rest of the world will not say "The Nigerians are taking their time. Let us slow down for them". By marking time, we may actually be speeding backwards. Should we still give him this president time?[/size] |
kayfra:The attached verses of the Bible places the prerogative of replying certain persons in the hands of the individual.

kayfra:[size=13pt]I said, What makes it nonsense because she spoke it in 2014? If it was nonsense being said in 2014, then the same thing being said in 2012 was also nonesense We are in a crises in 2016. Sanusi said what he said in 2012. Okonjo said the same thing in 2014. I asked how can NOI's statement be nonsense and SLS's statement be bright if they both made the same statements on different dates before this crises we are in. Now look at what you replied me again. If the people you normally engage with find it profitable further honouring the nonsense you wrote with intellectual input from their part, I'm sorry to inform you that you will not enjoy that dignity from me.

sweetgala:[size=13pt]You know there is a great difference between a wish and reality. And you know what they say about horses and wishes. That you wish he is shady does not mean he is. That you want that from him will not necessarily produce that out of him Sorry but you cannot wish a person into being a hypocrite simply because you do not like the nice rep he is building for himself. It is called Kantankerousity. And only the bitter die (that is suffer) in that state. It is stuff like this that makes me wonder when people say Nigerians are nice hospitable and welcoming people. When their hate for quality makes them rise against it because it kind of makes them feel inferior. I believe it is largely an innate love for evil and a disgruntled hate for good that will cause a man, finding Mr. Bruce doing what we have always said our Nigerian politicians should be doing, to put him down summarising that the only reason he is promoting good ideas and living them out by example is that he is a hypocrite. This reminds me of how when they wanted to kill a certain man of Galillee, looking for something to smear Him with, they said He said he would destroy the temple and build it back up in 3 days but failed to do so. In Nigeria where the politicians have a deep history of stealing, and even the documents indicting them get circulated around the internet, when the crucifixion charge against a politician is a work he printed abroad, we all know where those minds are coming from - a place of unhappy and disgruntled ill will.[/size] |

jayloms:[size=13pt]So what is your grouse against him? That he has chosen to use his reach, resources and example to truly popularise this correct concept?

Stalwert:Please, the majority of Nigerians use foreign products. Where do all our TVs come from? What about all our phones? In 2010 we imported =N=365 billion worth of rice. I hear it is now around 800bn All those clothes in the boutiques where do you think they come from? What about millions of cars littered on the road. All the flash drives we use and the memory cards, where do you think they come from? What about air conditioners and most fans? The generators we use, where do you think they come from? The bicycles driven all over Nigeria too. The baby clothes and shoes, where do you think they come from? Because you totally failed to address what I previously published, I choose to deliberately post it again here below.
