common sense | Zikoko!

Nigerian businessman and senator Ben Bruce, is very motivational when he’s not carrying out his parliamentary duties.

1-I want Nigerian youths to believe in themselves. I want them to believe in Nigeria. You have a good heritage #BelieveInYourselfAndNigeria.

And blessing Nigerians with tweets like this:

And his oh-so-wonderful achievements.

My electric car is charged by solar. The sun is my energy. That's why I introduced it in Nigeria. With it, I'm not blackmailed by marketers!

His genuine and passionate love for his dear country Nigeria, led him to start the trend #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira

Nigeria has a population of 160 million. Imagine if we all buy made in Nigeria. In no time the Naira will appreciate #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira

In his opinion, buying locally made products is the quickest way to salvage the not-so-awesome Nigerian economic situation.

As part of his social activism, he recently launched his book “Common sense Revolution”.

This patriotic and loyal Nigerian had his book published and printed outside the country, in the USA.

Ehn Ehn?

Nigerians had this to say about this betrayal.

So Ben Bruce with all his advocacy for #MadeInNigeria products, printed his "Common Sense" book in USA . . Leadership by what?

Some wanted to unfollow him on Twitter.

When a book about buying locally made products is published overseas.

What about Evans Brothers, Kachifo and other Nigerian publishers?

In his defence.

In defence of Mr Ben Bruce, the "common sense" book was printed in the US and assembled in Nigeria. https://t.co/pGk94OKPWi
