Many Nigerians can’t eat, yet N40m budgeted for Aso Rock wildlife - Sen Ben Bruce source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/02/many-nigerians-cant-eat-yet-n40m.html Ben Bruce, senator representing Bayelsa east, says it’s heartbreaking that at a time many Nigerians can’t afford to eat, N40 million in the 2017 budget was designated for the feeding of wild animals in the presidential villa. In a couple of tweets on Thursday night, Bruce said at N510 to a dollar, it has reached a stage where buying made in Nigeria commodities is a necessity. “It breaks my heart that at a time when many Nigerians can’t eat we are budgeting N40 million to feed wildlife in Aso Rock Presidential Villa,” he tweeted. “At N510 to a dollar, #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira is no luxury, it is not even a necessity. Nigeria has reached the stage where it’s a necessity.” The senator has been openly critical of the 2017 budget proposal. “Recurrent expenditure is still 70 to 75 percent, that has not changed, Nigeria will not develop that way, [we should] reduce it by 50 percent so that we can put in capital projects,” Bruce had said during the debate on the 2017 appropriation bill. He also said the benchmark of N305 to a dollar was not realistic because at the “black market”, naira was about N500 to a dollar.

What wild life I hope we won't hear "Andrew Yakubu" about the money. They are there forming wild life while most Nigerians are looking for meat to grace their pot of soup. As for For-ex that's the biggest scam in Nigeria right now, a means to give the "alhajis" free money. |

That's to tell us that they value the lives of their presidential animals more than the lives of Nigerians! One day, one day, our mumu go stop for this country! We go become wise, e remain small! |

Ahmadgani:The problem i have with northerners that got education through quota system. They cannot condemn bad government policies because government is their only source of Livelihood. People are dying in the north out of hunger and a man from Bayelsa is telling you that wild animals has more value than you and your hungry almajiri but you end up criticizing him 18 Likes 3 Shares |

saw his post. Ben bruce is trying to appeal to appeal to our emotion. But people with emotional intelligence will understand that animals too need to be fed. they cant go hungry. there are zoo n wildlife park that are incare of FG. when visitors come to visit mr. president, most of them may want to visit the wildlife as tourists - you wouldnt want them to look be seeing hungry animals and recession infested Lion in a cage. Help me ask Ben Bruce how he feeds his Dogs and peacocks and cats in his compound? 40 milion naira is not that much. the fact is animals will eat. he should stop his biased comment as if he is not part of the problem. \ in between Ben Bruce should raise his voice in the floor of the senate to allow us to see their own budget and know how they share our money 2 Likes 2 Shares |

koladebrainiac:are you ok at all? Must we have a wild life zoo in the villa?that zoo should be closed down,all the animals should be in abuja public zoo,they should be fed with gate fees,besides keeping animals in a cage instead of their natural habitat is becoming archaic,no justification in building a house gate of 270 million for vp house if am not mistaking or 40million to feed wild animals,what the hell are they eating,humans? people working at the presidency,all the staffs from the cleaners to the SGF should be sacked,they are the real problem affecting successive govt. 1 Like |
