SIRTee15:
Nike is not under any obligation to produce its jerseys in nigeria....
Even American flags n jersey are produced in China.....
Nike has no factory rather it outsource her merchandise to tested n trusted textile manufacturers......
What have nigerian tailors n the textile industry done to market their skills n convince global designers to outsource their products to nigeria....
Nothing....
Sitting down n expecting manna will fall from heaven.....
We are in the era of globalisation, nobody owes u anything...
It's either u are competitive or u are cut out....
Nothing like entitlement mentality, Nigerians better wake up to the reality....
We must work hard for every single job we want to bring into this country....
Asians are mean, they want everything for themselves.....
And senator Ben should be ashamed of himself.....
What effort has he made to help nigerian textile industries become competitive in the globalised textile industry....
We are tired of words, what we need is action.....

Mynd44:
It is bad that Ben does not understand economics.

He does not understand that the hype around the jersey was sponsored by Nike. The only raise the jersey is getting huge ratings is because of the advertisements and not the jersey it self.

And then Ben Bruce is misinformed as Nike have come out to say that the 3 million preorders is actually not true

plaetton:
All these dummys castigating Ben Bruce seem to have comprehension problems.
It simply amazes me that all you guys all seem to think in one direction only.
I wonder why it appears so difficult to understand the very very important point that he is making or trying to get across.

The issue here is not about branding, but about the actual manufacture of the jerseys. After , Nike Does NOT manufacture anything. Nike contracts the manufacturer of all their products to sweatshops in Third World (shithole) countries in Guatemala, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc. A lot of Nike's products have been found to be made by child labor in slave like conditions in these countries.

The point the Ben Bruce is asking is that why shouldn't Nigerian labour, ABA manufacturing prowess to be specific, not have been considered for the manufacturer of Nigeria's official Jerseys, an enterprise that would have created jobs and $100m into our national coffers ?
Isn't such that one of the functions of a government ? To woo and encourage foreign investments , especially in an area in which we have local talent has been proven to be abundant ?
Are ABA manufacturing prowess not ripe or good enough for international manufacturing contracts from the likes of Nike and other sports wear brands ?

Isn't this where a responsible government that wants to create jobs come in and play a role ?

Ben Bruce is not criticizing Nike's branding or marketing rights. He is criticizing all of us, all Nigerians , our small mentality, our inability to think beyond the periphery.

soberdrunk:
Hahahahahaha!!! Sai Buhari!!! The only president that makes politicians be claiming "AKAWO"!!."....

omonla10:
Can't we just be loyal to the constituted authority. What's the {vibraniun} hidden agenda behind this Biafra of a thing.. Any mention of this name or flag display should be declared as treason.

Cant we just focus on making this country great as one happy family..


Biafra ko, wakanda ni..

Nb.. Just saw black panther today.. E still dey shack me

BabaRamota1980:
@bold, please admit you are joking

OhiOfIhima:
[s]I knw where ur Anger is coming from.. Pls sorry OK... I still insist d blame should go all d way from d beginning of the Shit call democracy... If not from d independent.

I think u should resort for brain check because hatred has beclouded ur sense of reason.

OhiOfIhima:
Oga Stop hating, dis is not jus for Buhari alone. All the entire Government we have had till Buba era.

Thermodynamics:
"Hold a 1st class or 2nd class upper" even for scholarship, they should just program universities such that the lowest grade would be "B", thus anyone who graduates from a university must be a 1st class or 2nd class upper degree holder.

What is it, what do they want those with 2.2 and 3rd class to do when they are rejected everywhere, burn their certificate? or just commit suicide?

I still de talk am, all these oyibo for nor colonize us, civilization has made like more difficult for the third world countries in those days, life is more peaceful and simple, you go to the farm, you work eat, f.uc.k, sleep and live up to 120years old and die.

but now, young people in Nigeria die anyhow, only a few get to their 70s.

Education is bullshit, you spend your most productive years going to skl, only to graduate and become jobless.

pryme:
Then what's the need for the long epistle, this thread is about the fraud Nigerians committed, the UK are not responsible for these crimes committed by Nigerians and Nigerians have no excuse - you have no excuse, it's simply appalling.

Don't think it's only in the UK Nigeria is notorious for fraud. It's was so bad that the former NAFDAC Chairman and Minister Mrs Dora Akunyili was restricted for opening a bank account when she visited the UNITED STATES, she simply told they dont open accounts for Nigerians.

Pls leave sentiments we brought this on ourselves.

Xisnin:
The problem with Nigerians are ignorant people like you who cannot stick to a topic.
How can such a confused mind ever solve its problem?
It is even worrisome that you got so many likes. This is about internet fraud not colonialism.

erico2k2:
MayB we should start teaching our young ones about how the British stole from Nigeria and the rest of west Africa.

Moorish:
That one Dey bro...

But


Is the killing of twins okay?

Are human sacrifices okay?

If you answered no to both questions..

Then appreciate Great Britain for civilizing our fore parents

Our people have had issues since day 1

kimbraa:
Nothing justifies crime.

DonBenny77:
What's your point, you made no sense did they teach us scam?

If you know the huge number of Nigerians both youths and and matured family men scattered around the world doing scam you will hide your face in shame unless you are one of them

pedrilo:
this first family is a burden to this country

HeyCorleone:
The problem of Nigeria, like every other state before a revolution, is the elite. They don't identify with the masses at all and only focus on things that would give them more power or influence. The last thing they'd do is speak for the average man.

So I'm not surprised billionaire is saying this.

If things completely deteriorate in the country he has the means to relocate and settle abroad.
