Government that has free oil flowing from Niger Delta plus loans from all over the globe is owing and failing in many responsibilities, yet BEN BRUCE, an INVESTOR and ENTREPRENEUR that should be valued and caressed like a lover. A Ben Bruce who is keeping 1000 people and their family members, from starvation; a Ben Bruce that does not owe gate man a penny is the one the Federal Government feels they should sacrifice on the altar of politics.
Governments are giving bailout to businesses, but Ben Bruce must pay his debts even with the country in recession.
I no blame anybody
Name any business name you knew in the 70's that is still alive till now. Is it Leventis? Kingsway? Lennards? Bata? Silverbird is growing since the seventies and who is that that dares to question LEGACY?
Guy Na wa for you o,is Ben Bruce the only employer of labor in this country? We should stop being sentimental for once and always call a spade a spade,why should goverment caress him? He has defaulted and he is not complaining. |

obailala: We all have brains in our heads and it is imperative that we at least use it to navigate our left from the right. If you think there is nothing wrong with the reasoning of those alleging witch-hunt in this clear case of 'businessman vs bank,' why did you not also join the bandwagon of those claiming Buhari is responsible for this? Ideally, this should be seen as a debtor-creditor tussle, but with the way we play our politics, political maneuvers can't be completely ruled in this case Sitting govts in Nigeria from time immemorial had used anything to nail perceived enemies. Ben Bruce has been a torn in the flesh of the president. |

knightsTempler: Oga Ben Bruce has paid is dues, for business to last for 35 years no be moi moi thing, even people that can't manage a corner shop or barbers shop are always quick to criticising, this is a family business that has passed through the thick and thin of the economy of Nigeria, people that lived in Lagos in the 80's will know little or more about Silverbird, from Domino Supermarket, their father handed over to Ben Bruce and his siblings and he was able to expand the business and involve every members of the family, they later move to beauty pageant, I saw a 1983 document about Ben Bruce with Prof. Walter Ofonagoro when Ofonagoro was the DG of NT A when he was doing one of the beauty pageant show, u can see the zeal in Ben Bruce. There is hardly any businessman that is not owning, if you know the story Donald Trump how he was owning 99 banks in the early 90's to the middle 90's and how he bounced back. Ben Bruce produced Agbani Darego, he has been able to make people especially the youths, look at the rhythm unplugged they organise every year, he took some of our entertainers out of the street by giving them the platform to be seen and heard, see thousands of people he is employing they will feel their families, pay tax, pay school fees and they go to the market, you can see the multiplying effect to the economy. How many of our rulers do the youths sincerely respect. I call him father of entertainment in Africa. He will bounce back, this is a passing phase.
#copied. This thread or the issue at hand is not about BMB's achievements, but about loans and AMCON intervention. He has achieved a lot with his siblings and I admire him for that. But defaulting on loan payments/servicing is never in good taste. Let AMCON do what needs to be done to recover their monies within the tenets of the law. However, I opened the thread with so much enthusiasm with a view to learning more about the situation only to find a hogwash piece in which the poster couldnt even wait till the second or third paragraph to spew his bias. The piece was written to spite a certain people whom the op sees as unreasonable because they hold divergent views on issues. I wouldnt call this intervention a witch hunt. Nooooooo! Far from it. It is a normal AMCON procedure which has happened many times before even with much larger corporate entities, however if statements credited to AMCON lawyer today are anything to go by, I'd say there's some political undertones to it. He made some very unprofessional comments about the situation. Very unsavoury. On the other hand there is no smoke without fire or so the saying goes. I think p[eople have earned the right to be suspicious of anything the present govt does as it is usually cloaked in lies and deceit with little room for fairness. Its anti--corruption war is skewed to say the least and it has shown that it would not tolerate opposition whereas it is through opposition that it got to ppwer in the first place. Anyways, that is a topic for further discussion.

If this govt was sincere about the fight against corruption, most people would applaud them regardless of affiliations. But unfortunately that is not the case. PMB is more of a divisive factor in Nigeria than a unifying one. The gulf is enlarging and no hope of cementing it in sight. Like I said earlier after the polls, PMB should have towed the path of reconciliation after heating up the polity unneccesarily. He should have emulated Mandela of blessed memory who didnt go about jailing Piether Botha and co for his imprisonment and untold hardship on black south Africans. That would have been a costly mistake. Instead his actions endeared him to all eventually and helped put SA's economy on a pedestal. PMB has chosen the path of ignominy and avoidable distraction and it is gonna be difficult for him to retrace his steps. He is incapable of flexibility and that is not how to be a democrat.

Why did Buhari say from outside the country on May 29th say that he was gonna name people who returned loots, but suddenly developed cold feet due to legal bla bla bla, but chose to freeze the opposition's account (who is a sitting governor with supposed immunity) without condering the same legal balderdash.
2. How come apart from Saraki (who went against the wish of APC powers that be) no other APC politician's account has been "frozen" or has even been in EFCC custody even if its just for 2 hours![](/faces/huh.png)
3. How come every one who is being vigorously hunted by EFCC, DSS et al are either those who oppose his government, those who offended him in the past or those who are not in his party?

Would you call it Wizard-hunt?
So let's try to do some research before we support or come out to respond or post anything. That way no knew can dispute you and in the process you may learn something new. We shouldn't just take peoples word for it. I agree with your points. But the picture the partisan OP is trying to portray is that Buhari is on a "corruption crusade". If you also think the same way and don't think that it is merely a "vengeance" mission and an "opposition intimidating" vendetta, then I would like to question your thinking capability. Read my post again without sentiment and partisanship and try to get the message. Our country apart from being in a horrible economic nightmare is also more divided than ever along ethnic and religious lines. Buhari is destroying us with hate and disunity. We have never hated each other this much in the history of Nigeria. Note: I neither support the APC or PDP as these guys are the same and can switch sides at any instant just to get access to money and power. You should know this. I am only a law abiding and hardworking Nigerian who is interested in a peaceful and enabling economy to make a living and raise my offspring. |
