He is talking bulshit. Has he bought a suit made by Aba tailor before? Nonsense

dominique:
Nonsense tweet. So Nike that paid good money to sponsor the super eagle's kits should now allow aba tailors sew the jerseys? What will be Nike's gain then? Aba tailors should go and sponsor the Super Eagle naa. Someone that didn't publish his own book in his country is now calling out a foreign brand for doing their business in their country. Hypocrite senator

Thank you for beating me to this post.

The really sad thing is that this business man knows exactly what the deal is, but will rather play to an ignorant gallery.

How will polithiefian in charge benefit from it if they were made in aba ooo. I agree with bros Bruce but ABA tailor too need o up there game ooo to produce quality materials.

Shortly after the long awaited jersey arrived, the senator made the tweet below:

Allow the oyinbo to infuse money the way they want. Taylor is not the only way to go. Even if Aba Taylor sew it and collect $100m it will not reach the target(Nigeria). Let them infuse it through the usual bursary system for it to go round. Abi is taylor also financial intelligence agent now?

Mynd44:

It is bad that Ben does not understand economics.

He does not understand that the hype around the jersey was sponsored by Nike. The only raise the jersey is getting huge ratings is because of the advertisements and not the jersey it self.

And then Ben Bruce is misinformed as Nike have come out to say that the 3 million preorders is actually not true

I see you understand economics more than Ben Murray Bruce, every unknown Jack is an expert on nairaland

Did China become an economic powerhouse in the manner that you have described above?
Is this how we ensure that we don’t have a lot of our youths sitting around waiting for free oil money as our president said?

Dont mind that fake person of a senator. He likes to play to the gallery just for him to be noticed. Ask him how many times he has patronized those Aba tailors just for his own clothes and shoes, you will be surprised he does not even know the address of any of them. I wonder if the Aba tailors would have had the financial capacity to sponsor the team as Nike is doing. Bruce Common sense has long been common stupidity to me.

Chinese people were using their local low quality items instead of selling themselves cheap to oyinbo imports.
Are we superior to the Chinese

In Madam Tinubu’s time, we were forcefully captured and sold as slaves.
Today, we are voluntarily selling ourselves as slaves, mentally and physically.
Have you seen any scientific studies showing that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites

OkutaNla:


Abi? Ben Bruce is just playing to the gallery as usual. Will the Aba folks be serious enough to get the likes of Wizkid, Alex Iwobi and other big-name celebrities to endorse theirs? He is assuming that those jerseys are trending by mistake when in fact a whole lot of branding, planning and effort went into generating the hype that currently surrounds them. He's just a lazy senator that lacks common sense.

All these dummys castigating Ben Bruce seem to have comprehension problems.
It simply amazes me that all you guys all seem to think in one direction only.
I wonder why it appears so difficult to understand the very very important point that he is making or trying to get across.

The issue here is not about branding, but about the actual manufacture of the jerseys. After , Nike Does NOT manufacture anything. Nike contracts the manufacturer of all their products to sweatshops in Third World (shithole) countries in Guatemala, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc. A lot of Nike's products have been found to be made by child labor in slave like conditions in these countries.

The point the Ben Bruce is asking is that why shouldn't Nigerian labour, ABA manufacturing prowess to be specific, not have been considered for the manufacturer of Nigeria's official Jerseys, an enterprise that would have created jobs and $100m into our national coffers ?
Isn't such that one of the functions of a government ? To woo and encourage foreign investments , especially in an area in which we have local talent has been proven to be abundant ?
Are ABA manufacturing prowess not ripe or good enough for international manufacturing contracts from the likes of Nike and other sports wear brands ?

Isn't this where a responsible government that wants to create jobs come in and play a role ?

Ben Bruce is not criticizing Nike's branding or marketing rights. He is criticizing all of us, all Nigerians , our small mentality, our inability to think beyond the periphery.

Oga shut up,

The jerseys were still sewn by sweat shop tailors in Vietnam ...I think y'all are getting the senator all wrong, he is saying Nike should have used local Nigerian tailors to fulfil some the production quota of the jerseys ... Even though it's wishful at this stage it's not bad to explore such in the future because Nigeria's 180 million population is greatly being underutilized

This man just like publicity as if he is not among people making the d law for this country [color=#990000][/color]

Do we even have a made in naija car? I mean components made in naija?

Common sense will tell you that we are by design. Apart from agriculture and bamboo houses, what have we discovered again? There's an intelligence running the globe which can not be ignored even if we wanted to. What started in the middle east is settling in the west coast...

I said this earlier, they are talking about growing Naira but patronise foreign market, what if Dangote became official logo on our national kits while one locally made sport clothing ware in aba branded it with their logo why not market ourselves to the world... why not make something unique and different , Buhari is a compound fool he is not innovative

This Alabi yellow guy sef...

Tell that to the Aba firms who have refused to grow enough to compete with the likes of China, Bangladesh, India, and the likes up till today. These same set of Aba folks were trying to blackmail their own state governor when he tried to motivate them to better organize, upgrade and increase their capacity by bringing in Chinese investors who were willing to invest as much as a billion dollars in the state's shoe industry.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/06/aba-shoe-makers-jittery-chinese-shoe-magnets-investment-aba/

They simply lack the competitive edge because after all these years they have still refused to upgrade. Heck, they even still have to go to the same China that Nike patronizes in order to scale and meet really big orders.

Aba firms should consolidate and grow their capacity in order to attract the likes of Nike. #Fact.

Boy, we aren't all as unintelligent as you Jonathan sycophants! Bruce clearly said it should have been given to an Aba firm INSTEAD of Nike &, as usual, you unintelligent Jonathan sycophants are here to spin the story! Nawa!

Ben Bruce made huge sense with that post, but internet is populated with suffering masses who attack every point one makes, not because they know what they are saying, but because their ignorance has impregnated their stupidity, now their brain is an offspring of both.

Comprehension comprehension!
Gosh!!
This dummy is still talking about sponsorship.

Ben Bruce was referring to the actual contract manufacture of the Jerseys.
Reminding all we dummys in Nigeria, especially those in government, that ABA sweatshops ( who have proven their prowess) have the capacity to have contract-manufactured those Jerseys, an enterprise that would have created thousands of jobs and earned the country $100m .
Duuhh!!
