YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A BIG ISSUE - A SERIOUSLY DEEP ROOTED ISSUE. You guys were at such an event - you had the chance to enter the hall - yet had zero creative will to make anything good out of it, you know why? Because of your collective deep-rooted inferiority complex masqurading as silly sense of entitlement.

By the way, did anyone of you bother to find out who was the organizer? NO.

Did you make any effort to air your percieved anormalies to any of the said organizers while the event was on? NO.

Did any of the so called MC students seek out opportunity to talk with or interview any of the special guests? NO.

Did you even know BMB's Twitter handle or find out if there was any LIVE harshtag for the even? NO.

None of you probably thought of engaging REASONABLY and respectfully with the event , but here you are showcasing how dirty your mind is by ridiculing a Man that had honored you.

And i wonder how Ben bruce will know they were served food in plastics.

jerrybay:
Funny how you'd ask questions and answers them yourself. Why ask at all. I was present at the event and we did everything possible to make sure a note gets to Bruce and it got to him. We highlighted our pains and he just swerved. Nothing happened

Silverbirs Group Invited us. We sent a statement to Ben Bruce but he didn't look into it

rhymesmith:
Why do we people usually fail to practice what we preach? A person who claims to be an advocate of equality and general COMMON SENSE approach happened to have been the same person who treated the students of the departments of Mass communication and political science, University of Lagos, with so much segregation and disregard. So much for COMMON SENSE. At the 60th birthday and book launch of the Chairman, Silverbird group, Sen. Ben Murray Bruce, this was exactly the case. Besides the fact that our presence was hardly notice and not recognised, we were fed like we came to beg for food, The book, which was promised to the guests didn't even get to us(I'm guessing we weren't categorised as guests), and also, even after the President of the Mass communication department sent a letter to senator Ben to call his attention to the situation, he turned a blind eye. #NotSoCommonSense. The major reason why I attended was that I thought that it will provide me with the opportunity to meet the key players in Nigerian politics, entertainment, business and other fields. How wrong was I? I, Akinseye Oluwafemi of the department of Mass Communication, happened to have been present to witness the appalling and below human treatment given to us students. But we were invited here, I thought. Or did we gate crash? I refuse to be silent on this and I appeal to you also to forward this message until it gets to Sen. Ben, so that he can understand that his actions were #NotSoCommonSense after all.

Am sure he'll get back to you guys . Remember the event was just yesterday and you dont expect him to respond to your complaints almost immediately . Just give hm sometime and am sure he'll address this.

ronald4lif:
True. Mr Ben Bruce is no different from the rest of the political class. He's same greedy, cunning and plunderer of our common patrimony like them all.

He's just capitalising on his media experience and the credulity of the ignorance and penurious Nigerians to blazon his political ambition. He's trying to position himself to be next Bayelsa governor.

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....

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.

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.

missioner:
You guys should get a good lawyer (like Falano) sue him for misdemeanor and violation of Rights... tell the court to order him to apologize in the dailies and re-celebrate it for students only Or slam him 20 million naira fine.

Elliotwiz1:
I think your comment is fuelled from rage, maybe a bit of thinking would help ease your nerves. you forget that the program may be about him but he may not be directly involved with entertaining guests. he may not even be the one who invited you. people are paid for things like this so stop blaming the common sense man. maybe you guys were too many sef.

tboycares:
Anyone who attack the writer isn't just a fool but a dumb. How would you invite students and treat them like they never exist. I think he should apologise and practice what he preaches.

You had no business sending note to BEN. HE WAS NOT IN-CHARGE at that event. You should have engaged POSITIVELY - with ZERO sense of entitlement - with the folks that were in-charge.

Again, did any of you ever bother WHY Computer Science and Mass Communication depts. got invited and others were not? Did you ever stop to ask why you were located at a place that gave you awesome view of the event? What you are doing here is like looking at your neighbor's house through a dirty window, no matter how clean his house is, it will still appear dirty to you.

I was not at the event, and I do not know anyone who attended, but from your narrative, it is clear that you guys were expected to set The Social Media on fire with live feeds from that event - you had the chance - but you all missed it. And you all missed it because, in your funny way of thinking, you wanted to be SPECIALY recognized for doing NOTHING.

If you and your friend had been smart enough to do what was expected of you, you would have gotten some powerful contacts you may never be able to get going forward, you may have secured an internship at Silverbird group or other places. Ben may have hosted you guys to a special welldone and a little pat-on-the-back get together. But you guys missed it all. And now you are also trying to kill your chance of ever getting a job in the near future. Or do you think any employer will be in a hurry to hire someone like the OP having seen how poor his atitude is and how much of an uncreative ingrate he really is?

NobleAngell:
Hahahahaha. I can't stop laughing. ROTFL. Did she say palm oil rice and 'meat-like object'? Hahahahahahaha. Dis girl is rili hurt. Eyah sori. Its y I will NEVER waste my precious time attending such. Don't u c they're all pretenders? That invitation was just to make you feel like they have u at heart but trust me, u are on yr own. Sorry jawe. It is well.
