This dude makes me so sick! Coming to social media to rant and gets nothing done in the Senate. I always want to puke when I hear words come out of his mouth. If we hear him make arguments like this during senate meetings then maybe one can take him serious!

this piece is for Mr common sense!
Wallaahi... This unknown writer just hit the nail on the head

STATE OF THE NATION..

I have been following closely the activities of this government and whenever I have the opportunity, I try to find out the opinions of people as regards the performance of this government. I just realized that the hardship faced by many Nigerians is simply as a result of the fact that almost everyone of us benefited from the cycle of corruption.
The bricklayer, plumber, laborers, tiler are all complaining because building construction has slowed down massively cause the thieves no longer have money to spend on real estate.
The car dealers are grumbling because their cars are begging for buyers. Thieves can no longer spend wastefully.
The private school owners are shouting because parents can no longer pay outrageous sums and are withdrawing their wards. I was shocked when I learn that in a popular private University in Abuja, parents are writing undertaking at the account section for their children to be allowed to write exams... and it goes on and on.
The fact is, a lot of people are returning to what someone referred to as ''default mode''.We mostly have been living above our REAL MEANS. We have been staying in houses that ordinarily our incomes can't afford. Our children going to schools we can't afford. Driving cars we ordinarily can't maintain.
We have been living a FAKE LIFE all along. Now the reality is before us and we don't want to accept it. This shows how morally bankrupt we are.

You can't eat your Cake and have it. TAKE NOTE........"GOD HELP AND BLESS NIGERIA"

You got billions from bank without collateral using your political influence. You put half into your business and spent the other half on exotic cars, jewelries' etc. Your business employs 100 people normally. You get illegal waivers and concessions to import raw materials at rock bottom prices, you get over-inflated contract to supply government some goods your company produce....in short your company is kept afloat by corruption.
Now the new Sherriff in town say no more ridiculous waivers, no more inflated contracts, no more bank loans without collateral, in fact its time you or your company pay off the billions of debt owed.....AMCON takes over your company, staff are laid off......And you go on air and say the new sheriff is killing business and causing unemployment..
The truth is....you and your company were never in business, you were only feeding off the system. Too many companies and banks are funded by corruption. Remove corruption from the system and they collapse.......and we end up blaming the person that removes corruption for the collapse of the corruptly run fake company.
Its like our system and corruption are so interwoven and inseparable that removing one will kill the other. Maybe we should tolerate and learn to live without corruption so that Nigeria can survive?

Selfish Ben Brice. How many common men fly? The population of Nigerians who fly is less than 5% these are the rich and middle class. How many common men fly international airlines? Zero. None of them travels abroad for vacation.

Gobernments focus should rather be on road and rail transport. Those should be safe, efficient and affordable. Leave air transport for private enterprises to handle.

Remember OBJ's bailout for the airline industry which Jimoh Ibrahim diverted to set up banks in Ghana and would up Virgin Nigeria??

Government should spend money on what benefits the majority of Nigerians and not the rich and upper middle class.

Loans SMH,when people like you can't even pay back loans they collected

Very selfish sets of leaders. You only talk on what directly benefits you. Out of 180 million Nigerians , not upto 10 million have neared the airports talklesd of entering a plane.
If you truly represent your people I think the hunger in the land,bad policies,bad roads and health care are things that should bother you.
I tell you if aircraft stop landing in Nigeria,majority of Nigerians will not be bothered. I don't blame you anyway that why your name is Ben Bruce and you are always known for talking nonsense.

Sen Ben Bruce, am sure you know that up to 80% of the masses if not more don't fly.l hope the government would see the benefit in the suggestion and not politicise it again.
