Do you guys remember when he said he doesnt fly first class.>
So senator ben bruce took to twitter to show us once again that he is proudly Nigeria.

But he might have slipped showing pictures of himself in what definately looks life a firstclass cabin

Nigerians came for him and he tried to defend it by saying it is a business class.

what is the difference between business and firstclass

i would say he should just focus on the job at hand. rather than trying to prove to us

A liar has bad memory.

I have never believed a word from his mouth. Thank God he Nigerians are now knowing his true identity.

There's really no way of concluding if it is indeed a 1st class cabin.

So I will keep my opinions to myself rather than look stupid - an advice other opinionated minds should heed.

Murray Bruce should however learn from the Aisha Buhari wristwatch saga. Pictures can destroy you before the truth becomes revealed. Even when the truth is eventually revealed, many critics would hold on to the past information that serves their purpose better.

He will now learn to keep his pictures on his fone and away from the public internet.

I don't blame him , politics in Nigeria works on pretence.

whether first class or not , the man aint poor, so trying to sympathise with poor or average won't make him poor.

but nija politicians have realised playing or acting poor will make the masses feel like they have their nterest at heart.


politics of pity and pretence

Nigerians! They don't even know how a first class cabin looks like they're already blabbing. What a shame!

He only flies a flying saucer. Lol.

His flying preference wouldn't have been an issue if he didn't rant about it in a bid to appear home with the masses.

First or last class,same destination..

he can afford it. Why d beaf..

I think if he reali wanted to make a difference and help d ordinary people, he didn't reali need to av joined politics considering hw rich and influential he is, and moreso if he reali wants to make impact, he shouldn't b in d senate.

you have a point @shaddoww

I travel round the world with my leg like those guys did from abj to otueke

Ben Bruce says he had NEVER flown first class but flies Business class.

Ben Bruce says he his donating his wardrobe allowance of about N500,000 to offset over N110 billion being owned Osun workers.

Ben Bruce is obviously playing to the "Galleria"

darmys:
you have a point @shaddoww

I just hope he realizes dis in time

shaddoww:

I just hope he realizes dis in time

i hope so too
because on the long run, Nigerians do not care what he flies
as long that he is able to do his job and bring about tangible/sustainable development

THis is business class, not first class. They are clearly not the same things, but obviously, a lot of people have no idea.

1. When he made the pledge to donate his allowance to Osun workers, he was referring to the originally alleged amount of 24million naira.
2. Donating allowance doesnt mean offsetting the allowance of all Osun workers.
3. Business class and first class are very different things (although I agree the brag about "not flying 1st class" was unnecessary)

Cut the man some slack but if at least you want to criticise, do so with the right info.

So if he wanted to help the ordinary people, what should he have joined?... ogboni? or maybe open a church?

I travel by arik to support our own.......I always use there business class......which is like first class.....Ben Bruce is not lying......arik air does not even have first class.....

This is a business class... Ideally it should be. Let the man live hos life guys. He is not flying a private jet.

this dude is making the rounds lately.

This guy na scam jere

Talking too much is bad

What are you saying? You are just arguing over irrelevances. I know Ben Bruce personally and i can tell you that he is a very extravagant person. He had never identified or sympathized with the poor, he is ultra elitist.

Now where did you get the absurd idea that the wage bill of Osun civil servants is N24 million? Is the N24millon the wage bill for the 8 months being owed? N24 million would not even pay Osun worker per day. So you are saying Aregbesola does not have N24 million to pay his workers.

What effect would a measely N500,000 have on a debt of over N30billion? (sorry i mistakenly wrote N110 billion for Osun, the N110billion is the debt for all states in the federation). A simple search would reveal Osun monthly wage bill is N3.6 billion.

If Ben Bruce can fly Business class, why can he not fly first class. The difference between first class and business class is very small. I thought he was trying to insinuate that he identifies with the poor, so one would expect him to fly economy.

The 24million I mentioned was the alleged wardrobe allowance. When he was told on twitter that they would recieve that amount (24m), he said he wasnt aware of such obscene payment but promised that if paid, he would donate the cash (24m) to the workers of Osun state as relief, just like some others have been donated food items.

Donating the cash as relief is not the same as offsetting the wage bill of the state. He never said he was planning to pay off the salaries of all Osun workers and he was never referring to 500,000naira when he made the statement. I don't know where you are getting these weird ideas from.

I do not know why you have decided to hate this man so much as if he is the worst leader ever in Nigeria. It's really pathetic that Nigerians do not know who their real enemies are. Okay, the man has said he doesnt fly first class, so what is the big deal if he flies business?... Did he tell you or anyone that he doesnt fly business class?... Are you even slightly aware of the massive difference between first class and businness?

I do not usually hate or love people, i love or hate people's ideas. Ben Bruce has just been engaging in cheap publicity stunts since he had been elected senator. He has not introduced any revolutionary ideas on how he will make an impact using his legislative privileges. He has not told us on how he can sponsor a bill to prevent the Osun situation and employers owing employees for months (which is a huge problem in Nigeria). Instead he is playing to the "Galleria" about donating a wardrobe allowance to Osun workers or never flying first class by fly business class.

It is embarrassing for foriegners to open Nairaland and see what Nigerians and their public officers are arguing about.

I have always maintained that Bruce should not be playing to the gallery. First he said he will sponsor bill to move against legislators jumbo pay. After his inauguration he changed music to he will "receive the money" and give a certain percent to Osun workers, while the rest will go to Bayelsa widows. He once said he doesn't fly first class to give the impression that he isn't elitist or extravagant. Now he's posting pix of him on business class. I have no problem with his lifestyle but I will contunue to say that he should talk less and act more.

This reminds me of hon Farouk Lawan and APC Senator Dino Malaiye. Malaye is always at the forefront of every mass protest but he has never for one day moved any motion against jumbo pay when he was in the House of Reresentaive(and now Senate). He receives his monies, pocket them and even boasts of luxurious lifestyle. Farouk Lawan was the defacto Mr. Integrity in the House but he was caught receiving $600,000 bribe from Otedola. Our incumbent President always preach integrity but he's yet to declare his asset along with his political pastor VP.
