Ben Murray-Bruce: Nigeria Should Share Work Money Not Oil Money by sagewonders(op): 6:53am On Dec 01, 2015
I think he is right.

''Even America would collapse if her Govs depend on a monthly meeting in DC to share oil money. Nigeria should share work money not oil money.''

The cordial business relationship between private media enterprises and the government of the day is a totally different matter, from the dependency nature of the relationship between the state governments and the FG. The former is based on ethics, and is strictly business, while the latter is apolitical in nature and unacceptable

How can this nation move forward with people like you in it? No way. When shall we look beyond the messenger and focus on the truth?

Nigeria has two options. Either to continue deceiving itself by running a primitive parasitic system of government OR go back to true federalism/regionalism.

We've said it for years that running a unitary style of government in a multicultural society is a recipe for disaster and underdevelopment.

Insanity is doing the same things over and over while expecting different results.

Fifty five years are enough for any serious minded people to build a great nation for themselves but unfortunately our primitive leaders deluded themselves into the thought that leaving our problems unaddressed will let them go away.

Ben Bruce is attention seeker! why wont they depend on federal government when they dont have control over their resources,government should allow resources control then see if states will not be able to take care of themselves,he is talking about America where most states control their resources

If only people know any one close to this monster and his family just a little. Highly indebted man, who lavishes money on women globally. This guy imports babes from anywhere in the world while he and his son live the life on private yachts.
If he drops dead today....thats the end of Silver Bird cos the government which supports his bisiness to collect loans and contracts is no more.

Where was he when Jonathan was in power......he suddenly became an attack dog fighting for Nigeria cos his friends and allies are no longer in the scheme of things.

Smh

Some truth there, but trust me, as soon as he becomes a governor, his opinion would change.

But his comparison is flawed...

Every state in the US control their resources, police themselves, even make their own laws & statutes, so da fuq is he saying undecided...

Lily livered that he is, become dumb in the senate & go on twitter to form overlord.. Shebi hin be dey make mouth about making public NASS salary & sorts, abeg make e go siddon on top bed of barb wired nails jare !!

Devolve power, go back to regionalism & see how this country will take off like lighting....

This is off point. Even if his silverbird once depended on govs to survive, so it is for every biz to survive. He's offering them services, not that any gov is dashing him money; they patronize and pay him, he offers the services. No one is gifting any one money here.
I agree with Bruce here. Our mode of governance has to be reconsidered, govs can't continue to depend on ABJ to perform when they can leverage on their states' resources.

I don't agree sir. You and I know a single voice can't win in the senate. I think he's saying all these on twitter to re-awaken the youths and propel us to demand and act. If we can all demand, No Senators or Reps can easily stop it.

The Nation is on default and reset. if he is unable to convince the not upto a thousand lawmakers in the senate chamber he can not use twitter to convince over 200million Nigerians.
