The senator and media mogul wrote an open letter to the youths of Nigeria. Read below..
Youths of Nigeria, I want to communicate with you today. I noticed that there are too many divisions amongst our youths and as a stakeholder in Nigeria and parent of Nigerian children, I believe I ought to intervene.
Youths, do not make the mistakes my generation made. Do not see yourselves through tribal and religious lens. My generation of Nigerians did that and look where it has led us. You must do better.
It is foolish for any youth to fight another youth over APC or PDP. Let me ask you, what is the difference between the APC and the PDP? Half of the members of the APC are former PDP members and vice versa.
Let me ask you youths a question: Do the APC and the PDP fight over you as you fight over them? How many ministers have they given you? How many ambassadors have they given you? How many heads of parastatals have they given you? That's right, the answer is ZERO!
So resist the desire of vested interests to control you and use you to fight other youths on social media and in real life.
What youths do not realize is that you are victims of divide and conquer. You make up 60% of the population yet account for 0% of the federal cabinet!
Your price should be more than a plate of rice and a handshake. Work together not against each other! Come on Nigerian youths, be smart!
If you think after you have been used to fight each other these vested interests will hand power to you, think again. Their kids who are abroad will do same to your kids!
It is time to end the hate and come together for Nigeria's good. Long after we are gone, you will be around. So learn to get along.
As I have said and I will keep saying, the youths are the leaders of today if only they will resist being used by vested interests.
How old is Trudeau, the Canadian PM. He was 43 when he became PM. You can be much more than a thug or Twitter overlord. You can be like Trudeau's.
My name is Ben Murray Bruce and I not only want to make commonsense, I also believe in the Nigerian youth.

I believe you sir
Hmmmm! And you are not part of the so called "they?"
Thank you so much sir
Same I said earlier when I saw the post on former PDP chairman Ahmadu Ali's birthday.
Even the politicians many are killing themselves for, are very good friends behind the camera.
That's why I don't count those who share socio-political views different from mine as enemies, I see them as misinformed brethren that need good enlightenment.

Oga mr common sense aka ominiknowest!
This blog has some youths with no common sense. they are STERN, Aboki da warri boy and free born Zinalima.
These guys are hopelessly hopeless, filled with so much hate, trial and religious sentiments. They dont mean well for this nation and mind bent in deceiving and misleading others. The are pessimists and see nothing good this govt does also they have no solutions either, they also lack capacity to see a better Nigeria, especially Stern. But i believe BUHARI will laugh last together with All Nigerians
Make sense
U knw sometimes you shld really calm instill wat u read
Enough of all this coming sense stuffs. You never answer where you printed your books and you are telling stories here
That was thoughtful of him .
Ben Bruce is dem right but den d opportunity we seek ain't der
#commonsense
Enough of this common sense and made in naija. You refused to answer where you printed your books
Hmmmmmmm, it's well all we pray for is God's intervention.....
I challenged you on twitter about some of your ideas and then you blocked me, a leader who doesn't accept criticism is not ready to learn and not fit to lead or speak. You bring up suggestions and expect everyone to agree with them, who do you think you are ? GOD? Well its a shame you say one thing and do another, you are just like every other politician and maybe because of your skin color you think you are different.
You call OBJ or mentor,hero,leader and God father, I want to believe you do not have records or you are blinded by your loyalty, you talk about Made in Nigeria which is a good idea, but you have never tackled govt on how they can improve on the system to encourage small businesses, you make it seem as if the problem is the youths, while you know fully well that the problem is bad leadership. You are correct when you say youths should not fight for APC or PDP, I think its time for the youths to fight our leaders.
I have lost my respect for you and your ideas, and even though you hide your aspiration, you will fail if you refuse to learn.
God bless Nigeria, God bless Africa.
Movement for actualization of youthful dream.

True talk Mr. Common Sense. Meanwhile, some youths with goat milk in their brain will always criticize without critical thinking on the discussion. On the other hand, Politicians and their families are feeding fat on the future of the Nigerian youth.

They see u as d least uninformed too, so grow up....
When 2 dumb pple come together.... 1 + 1 becomes rocket science.
I dnt know how sound your ideas are, but how did you criticize him. I'm 99% sure you were insultive. People criticize him a lot on twitter and he doesn't block them all.
Silly girl, how will U get jack? Re-read it, get a dictionary for the big words, google them also for a more elementary understanding but by goodness make sure you understand it! Do not quit till u understand his point...iburo nwa Igbo cha cha!
You should let them give your seat to a youth. You are old too and no different from all those agbayas.
Well explained, so after them have rules us, so children in abroad we come to rules our children, ok, that is the plan.
D point is youths grow-up
You can be much more than a thug or Twitter overlord ...
Omojuwa in mind? Lol!
edojuju1@gmail.com

We must take his words serious and begin the process of iniating lasting change.👍@Bruce
Okay oooo...sir Murray we don hear....get to work
Swear, u no get sense
Go to sleep, tribalistic goat
Work ur way up there t make a difference.
I have to take the bull by the horn. No one will giv u the chance, u have t grab it
If you truely believed the youths are the leaders of today, then you shouldn't be in the Senate at 60.
Aboki 4 once grow up
Utang obong
Since he is a youth!
How many Senators are under 40? How old is Ben? Do his children live in Nigeria? Does his wife's store stock made n Nigeria items? Do the OAPs at his stations speak with Nigerian accents? Loads of questions begging for answers. A classic case of do as I say, not as I do!
You sound confused. Aboki shouldn't be on THIS list.
I hate u Freeborn! And I suspect u are also a member of BH. Bloody fool
Nobody will give you that chance.. you have to take it
I hope stern and that sad indeed fools will accept this into their empty skulls, dying over jonathan that neva know if you both exist on earth, both of u need common sense
Most beautiful gal on linda ikeji's blog
Finally...u made common sense!
Well digested, thanks for the piece of encouragement and enlightenment.Nigerian youths should wake up. 9ice one Senator Ben
True talk...Linda I dey here o
Good write up Mr. Common sense. If I may ask,do u tell ur fellow senators these common sense things when ever u guys are having deliberations? I heard that one of your so called senator bought an Olaf's abi na wetin for over #5million . How many youths have u empowered ever since you became a senator? Have you declare your assets or even tell us the youths how much you and your fellow senators earn as salaries when the youth can't even be paid #18,000 minimum wage. I even heard that all u do over there in the Senate chamber is to sidon look while u come out everyday day on your TV station to preach common sense to Nigerians which you hardly do to your fellow senators
If you must know Mr. Common sense, actions speak louder than words. I rest my case cos time shall definitely tell
This letter is well written but achieves nothing. We don't need talk in this country, we need do.
This letter no make sense, he should have written it during the campaign na
Is understanding English your problem? Olodo
well thanks 4 the advise. but u dey among them o.
Ur right
Since u cant sit.....wat are u doing bros??? Lying down I ges
Oga common sense.....u would have sponsored a youth to contest for the office u contested for if u truely believe in d youth of naija. Sweet mouth man stop winding us we no be Lister engine.
Yet at every opportunity you insult people on this blog.i wonder what you gain from it. If you doing it to be noticed too bad. One day u will look back and account for every word u have used in this blog...good or bad.
Lol... @gentle you re on point..
Seriously I lyk dis man. Linda observe!
Guy only one man can change d world or nigeria dat is Y he is trying to tell you to change and get off your ass and do something positive...du u think he needs ur money or help..the dude is set for life.
He doesn't want us to wait for dem to give..he wants us to take it...dats Y he said we're 60percent..we're majority..its our decisions dat matter.
@ youth alive.......i am sure you insulted him thats why he got you blocked.
Ben Bruce, you are wicked, heartless, and a callous. You don't deserve to live at all. Your usekess advive is attached to some selfish interest and will be revealed soon. How dare you advice Nigerian Youths without applying common sense? Do you think we can be used or bought so cheap? Ben Bruce respect yourself and hold your peace. Don't attempt this again okay. Reserve such advice for your family members. You steal and loot funds meant to better lives and you still attempt to advice us. I know you don't have fear of GOD at all. Imagine the salary paid to senators and allowances allocated to you guys, yet, people are suffering and dying of hunger. The Senate President just bought official vehicles worth #330Million or even more aren't you aware of it? What about the ambiguous amount allocated to the senators for purchase of official Vehicles? Aren't you in support of that too? The Rivers State Governor recently purchased two mobile office that woeths #330million or even more, arent you aware of that too? He stopped awarding scholarship to his indigens and you dare advice us. Guy Ben Bruce, have you built hospital and declare free medical treatment? Have you built a secondary school oe even University and made it free for all? You rather steal and collect unreasonable funds and make yourself and family wealthy and you dare advice us. Ben Bruce, "YOU CAN NOT BEAT A CHILD AND TAKE AWAY HIS TEARS AT THE SAME TIME". "YOU CAN ONLY WALK AROUND THE PEPPER TREE, YOU CAN NOT CLIMB IT, THE RIVER NEVER FLOWS BACK". Justice , equity, and rule of law must prevail above any other selfish interest of this useless Buhari administration.
Social media man
Read it again ! He made sense
Read it again ! He made sense
Okay. More Instagram followers for you.
Do you actually have a brain. Do you even understand what he's talking about #olodo
i love you bruce
U no get sense. Digest his long write and trash ur stupid comment
Mr. Charles, why are you troubling yourself over a retard who doesn't know his left from right. Awarded idiot called warri goat.
Busy Fingers.
have you had any opportunity to get closer to this man? if no, it then means you'll continue to be fooled by what he calls 'common sense'.
Well spoken, but if only the older ones will see it the way you have said it. ''Remember a goat doesn't give birth to a lion''
Brother Bruce this is the only meaningful statement i can pick from all your utterances so far, the rest of your statement since your inception as senator are all sentimental you just make sense now. but i cant choose you as presidential option in future until you practice what you have been preaching words are not enough action speak better.
Well said Sir. I hope to think deeply about this.
I hav never wrote any comment on this blog before even as I am always punctual in reading updates on this blog but this has really prompted me to comment, some of the youths in nigeria are so gullible that they can sell thier rights nd dignity to this so called old politicians, often times they say we are the leader of 2moro bt today we still see old men govering d affairs of this country. .so my question is when really is the 2moro,it's time for us to stand up and fight for our right as youths.
He is always making sense. Nice one#Lindangwanu#
So many idiots here commenting
having presidential ambition
nice one!
Interesting read
unfortunately for us the youths, the likes of you still want to remain in governance, deceiving and using us, what chances have you given us, what initiatives to you have to build youth capacity, oga put your money where your mouth is.
I just hope you are a true carrier of what you seem to post here Sir!
If truly you are, Nigerians are lucky to have you & get ready for PRESIDENCY which you'll be contesting with our AMIABLE SENATOR, the Minority Leader; Sen. G.AKPABIO.
Oga Senator it is already too late, the youths have been corrupted even beyond what you can imagine.
Writing letters has little meaning, only practical solutions will help our youths.
Firstly, ban importation of all disgraceful imports like toothpicks, needles, pins,batteries, shoes, furniture, towels, diapers, fruits, beverages food, leather products, textiles etc.
Secondly, empower the youths to set up cottage industries and produce these products locally.
Sanction companies that employ foreigners for positions where qualified Nigerians are available, e.g. Accountants.
Fourthly, liaise with automobile manufacturers to have common automobile parts like brake-pads produced in Nigeria for local use and for export.,
All these together with other similar policies will create employment for our youths and give them focus and hope.
Why is he breeding contempt between youths in Nigeria & those in diaspora? What does he mean by their kids abroad will do the same to you?

FREEBORN ZINALIMA is a bastard and already a dead youth! May all the curses you rain on Nigeria and her people not escape you and your generations. Ode of the highest order! Earth reject!
if they will hear. he said the real thing but some people would still disagree with what he has said. the politician are using them but some will not realize till their old age. God bless u sir. I concur with what u said sir.
Nice one!
Nice one
