Senator Ben Murray-Bruce is known to always lend his voice in matters of grave importance to the Nigerian nation. His hard-hitting words have endeared him to many especially on social media.
Here are the 12 moments the Silverbird TV boss made common sense in 2015:
1. When he told us about his expense list
‘I have never flown first class in my life. Our leaders must be accountable, I have never stayed in a hotel that’s more that 300 dollars a night, it doesn’t make sense to lodge in a 4000 dollar hotel, not because I can’t afford it, but because if I think of the masses, I run a company and at the end of the month I have to make payroll, so I can’t justify it, our politicians must imbibe this attitude as well. Nigeria is too poor for our leaders to act like multi-billionaires, and Nigeria is to rich for our people to be poor’.
2. On Nigeria and her census
2000 years ago Rome knew how many people it had. Mary & Joseph were counted in Bethlehem. In 2015 does Nigeria know how many people she has? — Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) July 15, 2015
3. This tweet on free education
Almost 100% of Nigeria’s elite became what they are through free education, yet after climbing up we removed the ladder that got us there! — Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) July 10, 2015
4. Then he shared these words of wisdom
The more you attack your predecessor the higher the bar is set for you. Know how slippery a road is before knocking those who slipped on it. — Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) July 5, 2015
5. Speaking without fear or favour
Left to me, we must sell the Presidential fleet. Public servants, including President must only use made in Nigeria Peugeot as official car! — Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) May 9, 2015
6. When he spoke for the youths on #Our5k

3-With the details from the BVN, PVC and National ID card, it’s possible to identify unemployed graduates and pay them #5kispossible
7. Him and his electric and solar powered car
8. He didn’t hold back telling the President some truth
You can only blame your predecessor for your problems for so long. After 6 months, so long becomes too long!

The President @MBuhari admin is exactly 6 months old today. 1/8th of its 4 year tenure is up. Its time to focus on the future, not the past. — Ben Murray-Bruce (@benmurraybruce) November 29, 2015
