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.

political and celebrity struggles can never be equal to lower class struggle. Hence where is the entitlement for all?

Those who speaks a lot of words do not put it into actions. My pastors called them hypocrite beware.

Moral lesson: No be every invitation you go houour. Shoe get size

Eya..take heart

I pity his ceiling fan

That's why I hate attending all those *High class events*The embarrassment is too much

You can download the book from his website, he said its for free. Get that to console yourself.

You should blame the organizers for that. Am kinda impressed with the man. I just wish he is more audible in the senate than on twitter

Glovicdaprince:
Rubbish.....Rubbish.....Rubbish...

What kinda hard and misleading title to the thread is that?? U were treated like animals...do u knw what it is to be treated like an animal?

A serving senator had a birthday and invited you...students...which first is a big big privilege....and shows how different and outstanding he is from the rest of his kind....

U arrive there....and u guys.....students.....were ushered in, arranged and at least attended to...but u guys were not freaking content..u wanted the places and services given to the class of people above you........or do u think there aren't classes in the society?? Are u the same with secondary school or primary school students.......u want the place and service meant for people above you........u must be a joker....

Theres only one or two things Sensible about ur write up.....U guys weren't given books...u being bitter about that is understandable....

Have u ever seen a birthday party in which the host or celebrant runs around handling logistics....u blame everything on Bruce...but common sense doesn't tell you....organisation and running of the program is left in the hands....of paid Event managing firms.....


U come here and u rant.....seeking to destroy Bruce....who gave u a rare opportunity to mix with the elite...a chance u may never ever get in ur life...u dint pay money...but u got dinner......U were treated like animals...?? Did u guys seat on the floor....where u served poop??

U better be freaking appreciative for rare chances and opportuinities that come in life......and work hard so ulld beocme a part of the elite...a distinguished member of the society.....when u get there..ulld understand......all the fingers are not equal.....and if u ever throw a party, invite students....put them in front and put the governors at the back of the hall.......Rubbish!!!

Guy u killed it!!!!! That's all
