GOT THIS MESSAGE FROM A FRIEND IN DEPARTMENT OF MASS COMMUNICATION UNILAG.


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.

If common sense was common, Mr Ben should have celebrated 60yrs having Orphans as VVIPs.

Same way, giving school children lunch was a bad idea to him.

But Common Sense is not common.

Display of wealth, kissing mom, and romancing with rent seekers is common sense to Ben Bruce.

Happy Birthday Afin Roger!

Class stratification has always been, and will always be. No revolution can change that. I didn't expect less from him, afterall, he is a Nigerian.

And I was beginning to like the man

Finally, it is becoming obvious Ben Bruce is a fraud. How can you be silent through the 6 years of Jonathan's misrule and suddenly develop common sense within the last 10 months. And as for pedigree, I still think he failed a major test when he headed NTA.

So why is this an article and not a post on twitter? Whoever penned this article knows where to get a direct response. Why disturb my peace with an unverified account of events?

I fully agree with you.

the internet cant change that either.


but, what's going on with mbgn, how was it possible for one man to singlehandledly disrupt the whole thing like that, very weird.

just wondering.
