The school does not accept Naira, instead it accepts the currency below.

MaziOmenuko:
And his child is schooling at American College University of Port Harcourt.

...i guess the school accepts naira for school fees

Is there anyone who has put his money (or even govt money) where his mouth is on this issue like Mr. Bruce? They have neither put their own money (nor govt allocations) where their #buyNaija mouths are and yet it is Ben Murray-Bruce that attracts such dubious and fraudulent criticisms.

MaziOmenuko:


Please stop littering my mentions with ur incoherent spams! Your shallow input of a defense is plain garbage and doesn't justify a man that scolded even the youths for supporting manutd and arsenal thereby, according to him, strengthening the British pound.
I understand that it is impossible to have 100% made in Nigeria but for Bruce to publish his books outside the shores of this country leaves a lot to be desired.

Dora Akunyili started this campaign before Bruce, and all thru her stay in office, she was wearing Nigerian made Ankara...

Once again, leave me out of ur pathetic mentions!

jayloms:
First, I know him long enough and that should be okay for you.

Secondly, per the below quote, what makes you think other Nigerians are not #buyingnaija?? Is it because they're not into the showbusiness of displaying them on twitter like the senator.

This is a fact. The average Nigerian has in possession a larger percentage of made in Nigeria goods and have saved this country more money in FOREX, than the likes of BMB who now thinks he is the common sense messiah.

One thing you fail to realize, is his love for showbiz.

I make bold to say that folks found on this track are kantankerous souls not committed to any form of worthy ideal but are only driven by a dark heart against anything that seems to shine bright and good, which probably does not seem to be coming out of the political clique they wished it was coming out from.

Such a weak and Shameless attempt to derail people from the issue. Read through your totally childish comment (filled with fancy and unnecessary grammar) and tell me how you have explained the issue been discussed. You ask everyone to patronize Nigerian items yet something as simple as printing a book you jump on the plane and give it to an American company to do it. Tell me Mr Sabinus how isn't this hypocrisy

coolscott:

I see these folks going after Mr. Bruce do not know the shame they make of themselves doing this.
I know we are anonymous here on NL but even your NL moniker has a reputation and history, the equity of which
you shamelessly throw away.

The content has to be produced before it is shown in the cinemas. He is a pioneer of giving Nigerian movies premiers in cinemas (his cinemas). I don't think some of you folks deserve the dignity of a response

[size=1pt]Please, the majority of Nigerians use foreign products. Where do all our TVs come from? What about all our phones? In 2010 we imported =N=365 billion worth of rice. I hear it is now around 800bn
All those clothes in the boutiques where do you think they come from?
What about millions of cars littered on the road. All the flash drives we use and the memory cards,
where do you think they come from?
What about air conditioners and most fans?
The generators we use, where do you think they come from?
The bicycles driven all over Nigeria too.
The baby clothes and shoes, where do you think they come from?
Because you totally failed to address what I previously published, I choose to deliberately post it again here below.
The picture at the bottom is to shed light on the wisdom of attempting to make this a GEJ vs PMB issue when Mr. Bruce himself says the answer is not to blame PMB but to patronize naija[/size]

[size=1pt]The fact that his purchases are not 100% Nigerian does not take away credit from the idea that we must continue to shift our purchases towards Nigerian from non-Nigerian and does not erase everything done by him and others to encourage this trend.

:: Buying made in Aba shoes.
:: Creating space for made in Aba shoes to be sold in Silverbird malls nationwide
:: Public buying of Innoson Car. Good promotion for the Nigerian car maker.

It is foolishness to call a man that will invest his hard-earned money and not oil block money, into buying made in Naija and providing logistics for made in naija to thrive, a hypocrite, when he has put his money, and continues to put his money/resources, where his mouth is, simply because obviously not 100% of his purchases are currently Nigerian.

Is there anyone who has put his money (or even govt money) where his mouth is on this issue like Mr. Bruce? They have neither put their own money (nor govt allocations) where their #buyNaija mouths are and yet it is Ben Murray-Bruce that attracts such dubious and fraudulent criticisms.

Abegi, why are you trying so hard to cover for this hypocrite called Ben Bruce, he is a politician and like so many of them the world over , deceit and false representation is their game.

I've always suspected his shady character from his days at NTA

coolscott:

[size=13pt]You know there is a great difference between a wish and reality. And you know what they say about horses and wishes.

That you wish he is shady does not mean he is. That you want that from him will not necessarily produce that out of him

Sorry but you cannot wish a person into being a hypocrite simply because you do not like the nice rep he is building for himself.
It is called Kantankerousity. And only the bitter die (that is suffer) in that state.

It is stuff like this that makes me wonder when people say Nigerians are nice hospitable and welcoming people. When their hate for quality makes them rise against it because it kind of makes them feel inferior.

I believe it is largely an innate love for evil and a disgruntled hate for good that will cause a man, finding Mr. Bruce doing what we have always said our Nigerian politicians should be doing, to put him down summarising that the only reason he is promoting good ideas and living them out by example is that he is a hypocrite.

This reminds me of how when they wanted to kill a certain man of Galillee, looking for something to smear Him with, they said He said he would destroy the temple and build it back up in 3 days but failed to do so.

In Nigeria where the politicians have a deep history of stealing, and even the documents indicting them get circulated around the internet, when the crucifixion charge against a politician is a work he printed abroad, we all know where those minds are coming from - a place of unhappy and disgruntled ill will.[/size]

After all your long write up which manages in no small feat to digress failing to address the matter itself, TR fact remains by Ben Bruce is "evidently" an hypocrite.

He has failed to practice what he so passionately preaches and from historical evidence woth relation to current actions he has been the beneficiary of a form of common sense , but is actions speak otherwise.

The is however a politician and hypocrisy is their nature.
