Twitter is not senate. Ben Bruce should channel is energy toward making laws for the betterment of Nigeria, instead of always coming to twitter and be forming Mr common sense

kosplateau:

I know soon Nigeria and Nigerians will apologize to Ojukwu.

You did not get his message. He is not talking about seccession, but for the fact that Nigeria was more progressive when it was managed along a regional model rather than the current model that is not helping the growth of the country

One sided comment.

Why should FG be controlling all the resources in the country? That is the othe side of the coin!

My reply: 'you think America will not share oil money if she were Nigeria?'

dearpreye:


How can this nation move forward with people like you in it? No way. When shall we look beyond the messenger and focus on the truth?

he should tell/ say the truth to the public office holders. We have chosen them to lead. We don't need to be told the truth, we want to see results of the truth that's why we put them there. He should say all he comes to say online in the senate house not online.

bettercreature:
Ben Bruce is attention seeker! why wont they depend on federal government when they dont have control over their resources,government should allow resources control then see if states will not be able to take care of themselves,he is talking about America where most states control their resources

That is what he means.

what happens next?

silence silence & nothing..

modath:


But his comparison is flawed...

Every state in the US control their resources, police themselves, even make their own laws & statutes, so da fuq is he saying ...

Lily livered that he is, become dumb in the senate & go on twitter to form overlord.. Shebi hin be dey make mouth about making public NASS salary & sorts, abeg make e go siddon on top bed of barb wired nails jare !!

Devolve power, go back to regionalism & see how this country will take off like lighting....

The US government practices more of fiscal federalism rather than resource control.

enigma2007:

So why won't Nigeria go back to it? Why the delay? See, Nigerians see regionalism and resource control as a secessionist attempt. But who benefits as it is now, wouldn't want any form of accountability and sense of proportion.

People kicking against having few kids are getting their hopes from someone's wealth, if not, we don't have to debate on it.

Hunger doesn't pity anyone.

Meanwhile, I shld have a peaceful right to secession. Continuation of marriage must not be enforced.

dix bruce guy is dumb o,why won't the states b dependent when they are not allowed to control their resources you should be talking about true federalism dumb senators

Bugatie:

So your point is....?

The man is talking rubbish.

A man makes a valid point and people who claim to be graduate start bashing him. How then do you expect us to go beyond where we are?

Ben burce has been making valid points. Whether you call him and attack dog or not, you can't dispute his points.

Laboriously trying to make common sense

Don't know What to Really say. But Shebi you dey there too in Jonathan's regime ..Y you can't talk then. Naija politicians are very dangerous

this guy is an hypocrite and coward. always remain silent in the senate chambers but come to twitter to spew jargons and rubbish as if he can do better.

As painful as it is to you, Murray Bruce is saying the truth...Shiit will hit the fan someday and those tribes that reproduce kids like its competition will have to face their warrant.

see your mumuu comment. If am the owner of nairaland you will be ban for 15 years.

Then the federal govt shuld allow states exploit their resources and pay some percent to the fed govt. but we know some zones wuld never agree to that.

dearpreye:

Dis nation can't move forward with people like Bruce, u can only mk ur opinion known on twitter nd it ends dia, but he is a senator, he has the powers to sponsor bills to press the govt to adopt any or some of his reasonable opinions (if any) but no he won't say shit at the red chamber then comes to twitter to gain followers

atime when people post things they think the people they are posting them for is not rational.


At what point do STV solely depend on govt.....bros you just talk make we laugh abi now wetin.


If you are ashame when oil money is mention kukuma tell you govt make e nor collect.

..banned.... Urs is 25.

dearpreye:


Na their shameful way be that. They can't seem to stand the truth. Bruce simply made a statement that every sensible person in Nigeria already agrees to be true but some people who are used to free monthly handouts don't want to accept it.

As long as its Ben Bruce.Every statement he makes to you has no flaw.

I wonder why Ben Bruce is talking " common sense" all of a sudden,why d silence before d era of Buhari? God will definitely save us from this gullible leaders :
Unfortunately he wil be using 1 chap guy to get all his ideas,probably paying d guy peanut salary,yet presenting himself as Mr know it all,

neolboy:
Naija shall be great again

Has naija ever been great before? think of one great thing we don achieve?

Nairaland should have thumbs down button...too many silly people need to realize how silly their comment is

maupe:

The cordial business relationship between private media enterprises and the government of the day is a totally different matter, from the dependency nature of the relationship between the state governments and the FG. The former is based on ethics, and is strictly business, while the latter is apolitical in nature and unacceptable

I'm with u 100%
+ d latter has come about as a result of greed and selfishness that have wrecked the stability of the national treasury.

The other lazy people that join Abokis will not be enjoying this piece of info. They kicked against national confab and true federal. Smiling and suffering country. Leave oil and work oo.

koboko69:
If only people know any one close to this monster and his family just a little. Highly indebted man, who lavishes money on women globally. This guy imports babes from anywhere in the world while he and his son live the life on private yachts.
If he drops dead today....thats the end of Silver Bird cos the government which supports his bisiness to collect loans and contracts is no more.

Where was he when Jonathan was in power......he suddenly became an attack dog fighting for Nigeria cos his friends and allies are no longer in the scheme of things.

Smh

My friend stop the attack on personality pls attack the issue. Ure also part of the many problems of the country. How does your argument affects the numbers of meat you consume in your closet.

Buhari can say more on what Murray said.

No long thing!

Even if he was a "devil", Ben Bruce is simply speaking the truth!
It is even we the masses that are suffering that should be concurring, not antagonising him.
If ever commits any blunder at any point in time, we should still come out and say he is lieing.
