If Oil Can’t Save Venezuela, It Sure Can’t Save Nigeria Says Ben Murray by akelicious(m): 4:26am On Aug 14, 2017 |
When I proposed electric cars for Nigeria and started driving one, many laughed. Today, France, U.K. and Norway have banned petrol cars from between 2025-2040. • Murray-Bruce is the founder of the Silverbird Entertainment Group and the Senator representing Bayelsa East in the National Assembly https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/08/14/if-oil-cant-save-venezuela-it-sure-cant-save-nigeria/ 35 Likes 3 Shares

Talkative noise maker Why didn't you apply all this ur common sense in running ur business. Venezuela and Nigeria are not the same As at June 2017 oil revenues accounts for only 48% (Thou Ministry of finance put it at 40%) of our revenue unlike Venezuela were oil accounts for 99% of revenue. By 2019 oil revenue may account for less than 30% of our revenue 25 Likes 5 Shares |

hardywaltz: What he said is the truth, there will be economic anarchy in Nigeria in ten years time. The rate at which people are switching to electric cars in United States is alarming. Electric cars are far cheaper than gasoline cars. One Nigeria is in big trouble. 91 Likes 3 Shares |

vanunu: Have you forgotten that the United States has steady electricity to power these cars. Ben murray bruce also has the capacity to power such vehicles as a rich Nigerian law maker. It's time we start telling Ben Bruce to write all these open letters to his colleagues and not us cos him and his colleagues can atleast do something to change the situation by sponsoring some bills needed 33 Likes 3 Shares |

Makes sense to me, But then, those states he mentioned are just a tinny fraction of the whole world, it's not like the fossil fuel engine apocalypse, a lot of states would remain with these kind of engines for longer, but it doesn't mean we should completely ignore the hand writing on the wall So in the short term, we could do more of refining and selling of finished refined products and also still sell crude ..and in the long run plan for the electric and blah blah, I know those things would work in Nigeria Until this guy start using common sense to reason that the parliament we run is too expensive and needs a urgent budget downward review, and takes first action to start declining the unholy spoils they share, I'll still think he's a hypocrite 5 Likes 1 Share |

vanunu:He was not elected to come and tell us the truth but to make the truth he preaches a reality. Ben Muuray Bruce is just like all the thieves. If not what memaningful and progressive bills has he moved for motion on d floor of the senate? What has he done with his immediate constituency? Does he know that the national assembly of which he is a memeber gulps so much resources that leaves very little for capital projects which helps to create jobs? In addition, those he knows that in all advanced countries members of the legislature dont fund or finance projects as their sole duty is law making and related functions. Therefore, d constituency allowance is a huge drain on d limited resources of this doomed nation- a means to ensure d national assembly get their own share of d national cake. Financing projects is the duty of d executive. If the legislature gets constituency allowance then the judiciary too should get constituency allowance also so that all the arms of govt has a stake in financing or executing projects. Also if the national assembly now finances projects then is it not logical not to blame the executive alone for the decay in infrastructure but also the national assembly also as the legislooters are stakeholders? You hear the useless lawmakers blame Federal Government as if they are part of the FG thereby deflecting blame from themselves. All the constituency allowances they get can they justify that the value of the projects executed in their constituencies is commensurate with the monies they get? Can we not have a law to be enacted so that lawmakers can ve their projects audited to ensurr transparency. China has enacted string laws against corruption which is the death penalty. Other western nations which may not be death penalty has stronger laws like very long years in jail, ban from office, confiscation of properties among others while cant senseless Bruce with his empty common sense advocate for such. The laws in Nigeria for corrupt public office holders is just mere 2 years and d only person I recall that has served that sentence is Bode George after all the billions he stole. Those this useless Ben Bruce not know that the laws we ve pampers corruption cos I can risk the mere 2years if I can get billions afterall if I work legitimately and free I can never earn even half a billion. Sure, the national assmebly made up of ex governors like armed robber Saraki, theives like TA Orji, BA Ibrahim, D Goje among others that lioted their state treasuries can never attempt to make laws against looting when even some of their colleagues in the national assembly are aspiring to become future governors of their states to continue the looting where they stopped. The looting spree has come to stay as our lawmakers who are theives can never shoot themselves on the feet to make laws against stealing or corruption. What they wud be so quick to enact laws against is kodnapping, terrorism so as to make the environment not secure for the masses but for them to enjoy their loot. Ben Bruce is a big disapointment just like that so called human rights activists Shehu Sani who could donate camels and radios as his constituency projects as if there are no roads, schools or other critical infrastructure that requires attention waiting for "federal government". Then who is d federal government? Nigeria has no future and no hope not even an iota. The future of the Devil is far brighter than the future of Nigeria and the greatest enemies of the Nigerian state is the national assembly and the governors. These gang of robbers are worse than Boko Haram 41 Likes 6 Shares |

vanunu:That drift towards economic anarcy is being accelerated in no small measure by crooks like Bruce and his colleagues at the legislature from both APC and PDP whose insatiable appetite consume so much of what we should channel into securing ourselves a comfortable future. The day these criminals start serious consideration of cutting back on what it takes to maintain them would be the day i start believing their little lies about having our interest at heart. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Look at Venezuela. The proven oil reserves in Venezuela are recognised as the largest in the world, totaling 297 billion barrels, yet Venezuela, with less than 20 % of Nigeria’s population is facing economic ruin. If oil could save a country it would have saved Venezuela! Hmm.. Serious food for thought. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Yes o! But we can still make hay while the sun is still shinning. Factories and heating systems all over the world would still rely on fossil fuel, 'AfroAsian' Countries with poor electric generation would still rely on fuel for over 50 years. With influx of cheap vehicles moving into the continent very soon due to the policy. Good news, Nigeria can start the first African production plant for electric cars through foreign investments, the market is there in Africa. All we need now is good planning, restructuring and Investments in Industrial sector. We need leaders who can see Nigeria as one irrespective of their believe and 'accident of birth' called tribe. To periscope Nigeria's Future and not the next election like APC & PDP is doing now. Restructuring is the key! It answers our problems. North should see restructuring as a cost to the opportunities embedded in restructuring. Restructure!!!! (But Ben Bruce like talk than actions sha) 3 Likes |
