koruji: I don't know why he is wasting his time participating in these monuments of incompetence.
Of what use are NTA, FRCN and VON - other than propaganda mouth pieces?

Booty4me™:
SO?
i Should Start Dancing or what?

floriana:

Just retweeting.

naptu2: He said that he always wants to do something different, something new, and when he's through with it, he never goes back.

Since I first knew him in the early 1980s he's done

1) Concerts (early 80s): Shalamar, etc.

2) Beauty pageants (mid 80s-mid 90s): MBGN, Miss Intercontinental

3) Television syndication (80s & 90s): Cosby Shows, Cadbury's Breakfast Television, etc.

4) Private radio (mid 90s): Rhythm FM

5) Cinema: 2003 onwards

6) Public Television (99-2003): NTA

7) Malls (2003 onwards): Silverbird Galleria

And now

Public radio

(He also had plans to set up starbucks like coffee shops across West Africa).

wellmax:

Immediately he left NTA, he set up Silverbird TV and the rest is history.
when he's done with FRSC, who knows what the guy will be setting up again.
Smart business man.

Cunninlingus:

he was a glorified p1mp simple

naptu2: Only those who don't know Ben Murray-Bruce will believe that he only got wealthy after 2003. I remember, in the 1980s, his parade down Awolowo Road in the Silverbird Cadillac stretch limousine with the Miss Intercontinental contestants. The Rolls Royce he bought for his dad, even though his dad didn't want him to go into the entertainment business. The amount of money he paid to bring Evelyn King, Shalamar, The Whispers, etc to Nigeria. Many many more.

naptu2: In the 90s and 2000s he had sole distribution rights in Nigeria for the Cosby Shows, Different World, Universal Movies and a host of other movies/tv programmes. He also syndicated the popular Cadbury's Breakfast Television (a must watch at that time).

Cunninlingus:
What business interest and assest did he have other than a limo?
in the 80's there was Kingsways, Leventis and UTC stores. These were the main shops in Lagos and Nigeria at large. There was also the Adeniran Shopping mall. Why did he not open a grand mall then?
