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.

Don't mind the "importation drunk" Nigerians we have here. In close contact, they would have thrown a tyre around Bruce's neck and burnt him alive without understanding the point he was making.
One needs to tread carefully in this country.

I'm Damilare by name and have married for 8yrs and I've never hit my wife before so get your facts right

I thought you were Damilare by height.
.
Thanks for clearing that up.

u guys are very backward...Enugu replaced its own ENTRACO Danfos since 2007 without making noise about it...u guys are making noice in 2018 because of common bus.

People say that fashola is great and all that...i just laugh...i know fashola would not transform Enugu the way sullivan did, given the money available

See how empty Enugu roads are. The big bus has no problem navigating such traffic.

Lizilicious:
At this rate, fear go gree me marry at all?

Go and court your future spouse. I think courting is more serious than dating. Please never get into sex before marriage.
Two of you do many things together. See how you both react to this naija situation. And don't form for each other. The person that starts looking for sex before marriage does not have self control. That person will get worse after marriage. Anger, impatience.

Babyforever:
Why are men becoming so aggressive lately ? I thought you guys are meant to be tolerant what's happening here

Well my theory for this is that everybody has an expectation of what this world is supposed to be like. How government should be like, how economy should be like. How children, citizens should be like.
The husband thinks that when he marries his wife, he and she would be living in an ideal home and everything around them will be exactly ideal and perfect.
When reality dawns on them, the women seem more tolerant to change than the men. A fast man will change and accept. A slow man will not change. Then blame everything on the closest person to him, the wife. Alas, we have domestic violence for one SMALL mistake the woman makes.
Oyibos do this as well. But since divorce always favours the woman (she collect the house and children plus all the money), their men rather go out and have extramarital affairs.
Black (nigger) guys go and have sex with many women and refer to them as "Bitch" (bitch = female dog).
Naija men won't like to divorce, or have extra marital affairs. They just beat up the woman as a show that they can CONTROL something in this jagajaga world.

This is my theory. Maybe I'm wrong.

african soil....a white man's land?

This this link is about your question. South Africa and White mans land.

So the gutter no get exit?

Lazy fućking cops. So they just gave up like that and decided to stay and pose for pictures?! What a shame!

Oga, please pray that you never get to a situation where you will ask police to arrest a criminal that attacked you. Because this is how their attitude will be. While you will be crying for justice.

lonelydora:
If i stand up from that floor, the kind of slap i will give that Pastor ehh. Last last we go fight

I pity people who attend this type of church

Better run from such kind of a church in the first place.
If you slap the pastor, other members will come and hold you down. Then give you a severe beating. They will say the evil spirit has not come out from you yet.

soberdrunk:
Maybe the man is possessed by a "stubborn demon" that needs to be 'FORCEFULLY" ejected.......

A spirit does not have material form
The pastor and the man are human beings in material form (matter, bone, flesh).

Devil will be so happy when one human being manages to injure or kill the other human being.
After that, whatever spirit you were talking about will go to posses another person.

Spatta:
Daddy Freeze now you are bending towards the Law to defend and show solidarity

If I heard your argument correctly, you were opposed to the law in the collection of tithe and sex before marriage is commended by you and you buttress your point with a passage in the law

You forgot the words of Jesus on this issue

Bros, we live in very confusing and conflicting times.
Christianity is about following Jesus Christ.
Not Moses, not Paul, not Elijah, not Isaiah.

When you read the Bible, read Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
Focus there. They are called the Gospel and contain the exact statement an teaching of Jesus Christ himself.

No one can enter heaven except through Jesus Christ. (I am The Way, The Truth and The Light, No One can come to the Father EXCEPT TROUGH ME).

People read and quote all parts of the Bible and forget to read about Jesus Christ.

millomaniac:
I think the misunderstanding or debate is on the meaning of marriage. To you marriage is when the couple tie the knot in a church or some other official ceremony. To freeze marriage has already happened when the woman or the man are intimately involved and dedicated to each other with genuine intentions to make it official. All the verses you quoted are all saying same thing.

So all the people in Sodom and Gomorah were happily married abi?

Of all human virtues, when it comes to this thing called CHASTITY, you will hear all manner of excuses and debate to commit (permit the language) fuckery.

Great men have collapsed because of this fuckination.
People have turned bible inside out and upside down to commit fuckination.

Everyone forgets that the Lord Almighty, scattered the entire Sodom and Gomorah because of just only this sin.

Marry first.

hardwerk:
Shut your dirty mouth ..... always promoting mediocrity

China has had a nasty history of killing, dictatorship, communism, one child policy.. All manner or hunger and suffering. They have learnt their lesson over all these years.

We are still at the stage of fighting and cursing each other. We haven't learnt our lesson yet.
You can see your insult above. We curse and attack each other at the slightest provocation.

ashjay001:
That we run to SA, doesn't make it a giant! Is d UK a giant in Europe?

Any English that anybody in this world is speaking is from which country?

xreal:
God knows how many spanner will ' get lost' during the construction.

They usully tie a rope to all their tools before doing this type of work. Because anything falling from up there can kill someone on the ground and that will be a serious court case for the construction company.

HoodBillionaire:
africa is cursed

Africa has many tribal people
We were humbly minding our business in our different tribes until Oyibos came to bundle us together and forced us to form nations.

Now Nigeria has up to 600 languages and dialects. How can it work?

If I force British (English), French, German, Dutch (only 4 languages) to form one country, can it work?

Ordinary EU, Britain is running out with their English because they don't want to learn another persons language.

The whole of China has maybe only 2 languages. Finish

So understand what Africa is before you feel bad.

Follygunners:
When the constitution is re-written to take tough/hard-line against corruption.

When the constitution is re-written to dis-allow high-ranking Gov't officials and political figures from sending their families abroad to enjoy quality infrastructures they deny the Nigerian citizens.

When majority of Nigerians start reasoning with common sense...

When we stop adulating mediocrity and stupidity... like worshiping the worldly and mundane frivolities we can't even produce..

When there's equitable distribution of wealth..

When we start killing the politicians that embezzle our resources for personal gains

When we start realizing that Tinubu and other major political figures are the cause of stalled progression in our society et al....

When you allow foreign goods into your country, does common sense not tell you that local producers will be out of business?

When GNLD, affiliate marketing tell you to register with N10,000 (or more) to SELL A FOREIGN PRODUCT, does common sense not tell you that something is wrong?

When pastors are walking about with expensive dressing and possessions and the church members are still poor, does common sense not tell you that this man seems to be using our money for his own PERSONAL benefit? Why can't he dress moderately? Why such a WIDE gap between him and his followers?
(The people are suffering from "Almost There Syndrome)

Jackossky:
Chaiiii
When will Nigeria get here?

China is a nation of people that has existed for 3000 years. As per, one leader system over all of them. They were never democratic.

Nigeria as a Nation with ONE leader over all our different cultural groups has existed for 100 years. 50 before Independence, 50 after.
-
All developed nations have existed for longer. 400, 500, 5000 years.

So we are still learning work.

Lagosians always in a hurry

It is a pity. The roads are not enough for the number of cars.
And each time new roads are built, even more people pack into Lagos and add more cars to the roads. So the roads are still not enough And traffic remains.
The unbearable traffic puts one in a state of haste. Hence, people are always in a hurry.

omotuntun:
This is commendable, one thing we should know is the whites are brainwashed from the start to think they are superior than the black, while reverse is the case, but to hide this they bring in racism , but this white dude the next time he see any black man he will laylow and hide his face because till he die he will now believes all black will beat him if he Bleep up.


I don't give a damm about those white dudes, you ain't better than me..


But most blacks especially in Europe which has over 70% of black illiterate who just jump on water and come, they can kick the ass of a white man, and even tell them to call him or her idiot just to get €1.

So what are the Naija guys doing in SA?
After the Whites developed the place to resemble London, all Nigerians are running there now. Why didn't the blacks develop it like that?
We were all here shitting in our pant with useless NITEL land line till Oyibo South Africans came to give us MTN.
We were here marching potopoto in market, until Oyibo South Africans built Shoprite wey we blacks go enter and be flexing phone, watch and shoe, snapping pictures with open teeth. 24/7

Naijageak:
This beating is sweet and yummy like fried chicken n dodo... Dem de show demself too much. If I catch anyone here i go do the same. I go use nak am fall for am self

You can do whatever here in Nigeria, your land.
But tread lightly in another man's land
Small thing they will deport the Naija guys or do xenophobic killing again

bigiyaro:
african soil....a white man's land?

Bros, leave that topic O.
Those white South Africans will tell you, They TOO are Africans.
I don discuss this matter tire for other forums.
Dem no gree comot, untop say them no get tribe or village.
We are lucky they did not displace us in Nigeria from our land and villages as they did in SA. Na story we for dey tell like defeated puppies.

TheGreatJapan:
So they can't travel to South Africa or be in S.A?

NA TREES THEM BE?

Red Indians, the Native Americans, the REAL Americans hardly travel out of America. They stick to their culture and villages. Sometimes they don't even marry out of their tribe.
Oyibos don't like them. They don't sing American national anthem. Cos its just an invention of the Oyibos. They are the owners of the land. They hate passport or ID card. The land is theirs
You can't be registering them on their own land.

Chascop:
I just hope these Guys thread with caution and try not to touch any black South African because the end product would be hazardous..

The black South Africans are already home and dry. They are used to this type of insulting racism.
It is the Nigerians you should be worried about
We are not used to this type of face-to-face racism, and have now reacted by beating back the white man.
If the White man returns with guns to shoot them nko?

otobasin2323:
abeg who democracy help? Come forward

Well, all of us..
It was during Democracy that private companies were allowed to install mast for mobile phone.
With mobile phone came data and browsing.
Twitter, Facebook and Nairaland.

If you are old enough, there was a time about 20years ago when NOBODY WAS TALKING TO ANYBODY ABOUT GOVERNMENT. No phone, nothing.
-
So enjoy your browsing because it's like Na only browsing we go chop for this our democracy (with your own money of course)

MaNyEsq:
That was an inevitable accident. Thank GOD that no life was lost in the accident. Something that massive, dangerous and harmful to human health not just because of its shere size but as a result of radio-frequency emissions [a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR)], are not meant to be in close proximity to residential areas. Studies have shown that even at low levels of radiation emitted by these towers, there's sufficient evidence of damage to cell tissue and DNA, and it has been linked to brain tumors, cancer, suppressed immune function, depression, miscarriage, Alzheimer's disease, and numerous other serious illnesses.

Furthermore, according to Dr. W. Löscher of the Institute of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy of the Veterinary School of Hannover in Germany, dairy cows that were kept in close proximity to a TV and cell phone tower for two years had a reduction in milk production along with increased health problems and behavioral abnormalities. In an experiment, one cow with abnormal behavior was taken away from the antenna and the behavior subsided within five days. When the cow was brought back near the tower, the symptoms returned.

The question then becomes, despite all the health problems associated with cell phone towers, why would a community, school or other private property owners allow a cell phone tower to be placed on their grounds? The answer is very simple, Cell phone companies pay "rent" for their placement that can range anywhere from 50,000 to over 700,000 Naira a month. This can mean all the difference for an impoverished family or a community. I am of the opinion that these communities should till be skeptical that the incentives do not come close to matching the potential risk involved.

In a Nigeria this poor?
With integrity this lost...
Does anybody in this country refuse money?

It is not enough to walk away from an abusive relationship, you must also ensure the abuser is jailed for a lengthy period of time.

With 50k, it's either she pays the Police to ensure he spends a long time in jail, she pays boys to beat him up and break one leg or give SARS and let them teach him a painful lesson.

Her greatest foolishness is posting a SMILING picture.
If a crime is committed against you, post the crime picture.
