It is almost about the same price it sells in England, exorbitant You don't have to buy it,buy from a kiosk and take it to the movie if you must eat popcorn.

If popcorn in the UK sells for almost that amount then you must realize the minimum wage per hour in the UK is about 5-6 pounds per hour depending on the age grade.That means about 40 pounds( 12000naira)per 8 hr working day.Multiply 12000 naira by 20 days(assuming they don't work day in day out as per Naija) and you have 240,000 naira per month,deduct 50% tax (exaggerated self) and you have 120000 naira.Is Ben Bruce paying minimum wage of 120K per monthI know some people will say he uses generator etc but does Silverbird pay the kind of tax paid in the UK.The man should just shut up and not use the payment of minimum wage as an excuse for his greed.And in working out my numbers I have considered the socio economic factors in both countries and even with the analytical consentions I gave Silverbird his excuse holds no water,it's just exploitation.

Before these two, he was first a business man, and will always remain one. That is his primary constituency. Think before you type.

who Ben don help? An employer of labour? Keep typing without thinking. Who have you helped put food on the table, yet no one tells you how to talk. Get a life and stop hating and bitching. You no dey Ben class.

That young man is a big ediot.


Why don't we criticise all the big restaurants for selling common rice at N800+ when mama put sells for N150?

Ben is really trying his quota

DeKen:
hmm. How does that make him a hypocrite?

MY GOOD THINKING BROS. Pls Do Ask Them For Me OoohhhhH! !! !!!

The 'have nots' should learn to live within their means.

[quote author=Edusouls post=40566587]shut up poor rif raff do you know who are talking to? This is an employer of labour,he is too important to the economy and well being of nigeria..he pays people to earn a living.you animals in the zoo lacks what is called respect...[/quote

I won't insult back, kos right about now every one now knows you and Ben lacks the manner and not me? Show me a prove dat ben had helped any member of your family?

Hmmmmmmmmmm Anyway happy new month all

Benjoh:
He did not even think well before he replied, you pays more than minimum wage means you're taking from the "have not" giving to the "haves". Abeg you are not trying.
Go and tell your staff to do smth on the price, shi kena.

Did he force anyone to patronise his cinema? if the guy is not pleased with the price he should stay in his house. Shikena
Nigerians and their mentalities sha. Person no force you @ gunpoint to buy him market una dey complain

PappyMason:


Well tell your dogs to stop distracting him on how much he sells popcorn in his private cinema.

There is no popcorn subsidy, shey you know?

Am glad you did mention it as his private business. The moment he equated that 'private business' of his with the happenings in the public and minimum wage, he's made it public.

The moment he became a senator thereby bringing himself to limelight, it is public.

The moment that business of his employs a thousand people, it is public.

The moment that 'private business' of his is for public consumption and he makes profit from there that he pays his staffs with, it is public.

So, that guy that criticized him for selling popcorn @800 is a stakeholder and deserve some respect.

Reason: a customer is always king.

No to oppression of customers, Nigerians.

You must be a genius to stay in your room and analyze another man's business without seeing his financial records. Kindly apply to Arthur Anderson and Pricewaters for a position. Smh

"You cant take outside food inside the cinema" you must be Ajerbo.. Food or pop or pork or corn!! I must carry from outside, any way is a way in Naeto C voice

The production cost of each pop corn will determine the real hypocrites.

Left NTA dead? The man that made sure NTA stations were built in all states in Nigeria? D same man that consolidated Tony IREDIA's idea after Tony left NTA. U talk as if governance is easy, d same way dis present government talks of flushing bokoharam out within 2 months of d tenure. Don't talk anyhow again my brother. Start within ur house first. Silverbed started b4 he came into governance, all his investments are in Nigeria bro, he revolutionise our entertainment and bring cinemas back. Am sure ppl like u wuld ve gone to silverbird galleria at one time or d oda b4. Get life and be creative so that u can attain his status or surpass ben bruce.

aresa:



The same man Nigerians paid for 8 years as the DG of NTA and left NTA dead and rotten than even before his appointment all while his own silverbird grew with new cinemas and malls...

You mind listing his achievements at the NTA and what Nigerians benefited for 8 years of taxpayers money?

The twitter constituency clown remains remains part of the incompetent, corrupt and opportunists that mismanaged and rendered our institutions worthless while their own private enterprise shines and progresses..

HRich:
Maybe you don't understand it. He wasn't begging for a buyer.

That's what am saying

PappyMason:

So he should let you apc rabid dogs rip him apart?

Not everyone is myopic like u and not everyone is at d level of collecting one cup of rice like u. U ve ideas and yet u r here commenting abt ben Bruce. This guy started b4 he got into governance. He single handedly revolutionise the entertainment circle in Nigeria, he brought back d cinemas. U can criticise him no doubt but not to insult. Pray to reach his level in life, ode.

Karlovich:
Typical, that's all your brain could come up with, continue waiting for the answer. That's the kind of thinking that make u people completely foolish such that bags of rice can decide votes in nigeria, you better change the way you think for your own good cos I'm 100 percent certain u don't work at silverbird.
