Acidosis:
OP, you're a silly ediot with no iota of sense. Ben invited you folks over all other options, and you're here talking crap!

$illy Unilag student, you wan rub shoulders with Senators on top your cheap akara school fees.

Where are YABATECH students? Why are they not complaining? How about mass comm students from LASU? Again, the senator invited you over all other students in Lagos, you should be grateful!

You're a fcking mass comm student! Your job is to look and observe! Have you ever seen a journalist sitting and dining with Mr President? Have you ever seen a Photographer or photojournalist preaching on the stage?

F00ls everywhere; empty proud ediot from one of the most useless universities in the world.

I just hate it when these boys and girls from that school feels they are above every other person in the world. Why should you be given same treatment with Senators? Just give me one reason? Because you hail from unilag?

You're a fcking Nigerian student like every other person in Nigeria, be grateful that he invited you over LASU students and those from UNILAG, all in the same Lagos state.

your points are understood but few things to note:

1. If they were expected to be the social commenters at the event, that should have been expressly stated and understood by all parties involved. Besides, I dont think that's how these things work.

2. Why would their job chances be threatened simply because they voiced concerns? Be careful of such statements. If they dont work in their field, then they should be able to work in another field.

3. I dont know about the powerful contacts factor. A celebrity/VIP's time is not random like that although perhaps it might be occasionally but I seriously doubt it.

4. Ben Bruce can throw another party for the general public to celebrate with him.

5. Nigerians do not take class mixing lightly.

6. In any case, the organizers are the ones to be contacted over this.


my opinion.

LRNZH:
I am yet to be convinced by this common-sense Senator. We never heard from him until 2015. Did he just develop interest in Nigeria's affairs after PDP lost?

Sorry oh student. Nigerian politicians are like that.

a4hafoe:
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.


I am Abidemi Adesokan, A concerned Nigerian Student who believes there is hope for Nigeria, but Bruce isn't just that guy.

gentle007:


That you did not hear from or of him prior to now? bros na wah o. Abi you just de listen to wetin odas de talk? This guy has been very vocal ever since I knew him.

Glad it's your opinion but I beg to differ.

1. They do not NEED to be told to do the needful. If they are TRULY information based STUDENTS then where was there instinctive initiative and drive? Telling them CLEARLY to report the event would have made their report SOCIALLY UNAUTHENTIC.

2. The OP put his job chances at stake when he naively took to the social media to ATTACK and call for MASS HATE against a man that gave him an opportunity which he never EARNED. (4 out of 5 employers are likely to checkout your social online behavior prior to giving you a job). And I assume someone like you won't want someone like op in your company - unless he changes his attitude.

3. And who says that a smart communication student cannot sieze that rare opportunity to make a lasting impression on, say, one of the VIPs?

4. Of course, I'm talking about Ben finding time to party with this particular group of students if they had been smart enough to help him promote his book instead LEECHING for a royal treatment with ZERO value adding initiative.

5. You sure do not expect a student body to sit around the same table with senators and other VIPs in that kind of event, do you? Besides, to me, the sitting arrangement was very normal it's just wrong thinking that's giving it negative interpretation.

ronald4lif:


True. Mr Ben Bruce is no different from the rest of the political class. He's same greedy, cunning and plunderer of our common patrimony like them all.

He's just capitalising on his media experience and the credulity of the ignorance and penurious Nigerians to blazon his political ambition. He's trying to position himself to be next Bayelsa governor.

were you guys tagged special guest of honor?

i dont get the rant!

you want Ben Bruce to serve you personally? spoon feed you guys and hand you guys his book because you guys are guest and from Unilag?

will you say you havent been to a party and service was not carried out properly?
say you havent and you clean your mouth for lying.

event management is one problem , no matter the organizer.
those that managed the events mismanaged it , so holding it against Ben is crass stupidity.

must he be everywhere?

and you using this to cast aspersion on him because he didnt spoon feed you guys? very laughable..

and imagine the hate, you are taking pictures and snapped the food he served you guys?
his own money?

aint you an ingrates..
quite pathetic.

and if he didnt invite you, you would say he despise the student.

they sent you guys up for you to see all that happened.

instead to aspire to do greater things as a masscomm student you are casting aspersion and painting him on the bad light..


knowing fully well that your rant will dent his image as an opposition ..

you also forgot it was live program, so am yet to hear people confirm the humiliation at his birthday..

how many boook lunch have you attended and you got the book free , even to the point it reached everyone!?

probably they ran out of copies!
SO DOES THAT make him bad?


how much do people pay to attend shows by your favorite musicians?
you saw them free of charge and you dey complain?

are you okay?

I used common sense to derive the question i asked you.
not everyone will agree with me but you know they are true.

enjoy your teem drink man....

I normally don't respond to most posts on nairaland,I just read and move on.On dis issue,I will respond cos I am involved.What d OP said about d refreshments served at Ben Bruce bday n book presentation was d reality.I was dia and was d one who went to d eko hotels supervisor to complain DAT d guests at d gallery area were not been served n he said dey were asked to serve only d those at d VIP arena n I told him it doesn't make common sense,then I went an STV lady who said dia is nothing dey can do about it but when I insisted DAT dia action does not tally wit d gospel of Ben Bruce's common sense,she now instructed d security team of K2 to lift d barrier for d service team to go up to d gallery n serve d student guests dia including junior students from St Gregory,d alma mater of d common sense senator. d palm oil rice was not prepared by Eko hotels but by a caterer hired by d senator,s wife.I personally shared d food to d students n I can boldly say it was humiliating to be served such at an event where d lead man preaches common sense.pls Nigerian youths should follow d advice from Donald Duke dat Ben Bruce dat he knows can't give anything for free dat dia must be a catch somewhere. pls beware n use ur political common sense cos its all about 2019.thanks

Sigh!

Lack of intelligence tells on you sir.
If you do not understand the reason why the students see this as a despicable act, then I guess you never went through the University (and even if you did, you refused to gather the knowledge you were meant gather).

And btw, for your information, you have successfully painted Sen. Ben Murray Bruce in a worse light than these poor students have.

Go and learn how to be more creative instead of just looking for cheap publicity with your #NotSoCommonSense post.

Ghandi12:




Ben Murray Bruce since becoming a house-hold name has always appeared to be an elitist until he won election as a Senator. He is outspoken and people are matching his actions with his volume of rhetoric -
