THINGS BEN BRUCE HAS NOT TALKED ABOUT

THINGS BEN BRUCE HAS NOT TALKED ABOUT 

After 2015 elections, we saw  Ben Bruce become active on social media and dishing out what he termed common sense. One begins to wonder whether he never owned or used smart phone prior to 2015 elections. Before now no one saw him on Twitter criticizing the past Government or giving them common sense advice. What Ben Bruce is doing in my own opinion especially in criticizing this present government is just sheer Hypocrisy. 

To prove that in a bit, here are National issues that Ben Bruce has not spoken about.

1. MASSIVE LOOTING AND CORRUPTION IN JONATHAN's GOVERNMENT: Since the fight against corruption started under this present administration and the discovery of massive looting and sheer mismanagement of our common wealth under the last Government, Ben Murray Bruce has not spoken either in condemnation or defence of it. One would have expected him to throw out lots of common sense articles, speeches and or even make a video telling us how corruption has destroyed the country but no its not a strong issue. Maybe his common sense articles and and speeches have restrictions. Mr. Ben Bruce what's your take on this issue?

2. NIGER DELTA AVENGERS: To the dismay of many Nigerians, a group came out of the blues calling themselves Niger Delta Avengers (Avenging what?) bombing our pipelines. If we have given Amnesty to militants, isn't it a crime to go back on that same thing that was forgiven of them?. Since their bombing started, Ben Bruce has not said anything about them. He has surprisingly kept mute. Maybe his battery is always low or dead when they attack.

3. SARAKI's TRIAL: Since Senate President, Bukola Saraki's corruption trial started, Ben Bruce has not said anything about it either in condemnation or support. You would have expected him in some of his numerous common sense tweets to condemn Bukola Saraki's continued stay as the Senate President while his case is still in court. He should have said something about Bukola Saraki's Asset declaration and subsequent trial. But Ben Bruce has not. Abi him dey fear Saraki ni?

4. SENATE RULES FORGERY: The media has been awashed with news of the senate standing rule forged by Senate President Bukola Saraki and Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu. You would have expected Common sense Senator to come up with series of tweets, speeches or articles affirming that the rules were forged or were not. After all he is a member of the Senate and should know what goes on there. But till date Ben Bruce has kept mute about this saga. Maybe him no want make dem beatam for Senate Chamber if he talk. 

5. PDP CRISIS: Senator Ben Bruce is a member of the PDP and his party is in a shameful mess and dirty water crisis. Two chairman, Two governorship candidate in Edo, Two governors in Abia State. In all this national embarrassment, Ben Bruce has said nothing. He has maintained hypocritical silence and act like he doesn't read the Newspapers. Had it been its about the present government he would 've found where he kept his phone, come to the internet to criticize their actions. Ben Bruce, are you for Makarfi or Sheriff! 

6.  NON PAYMENT OF WORKERS SALARIES IN EKITI AND BAYELSA: when it was reported that Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbeshola was owing workers in his State, Ben Bruce was one of those who condemned the governor and even insulted the people of the State by saying he would channel part of the controversial wardrobe allowance that ran into millions into paying workers salary in Osun State. He made so many mountain out of the Salary issue then in Osun state. Today as we speak, his State, Bayelsa state, is struggling to pay workers and so also is Ekiti. You would expect Ben Bruce to comment on this issue with the same approach he did with that of Osun or even offer to pay the workers with his earnings in the Senate but No. His smart phone has suddenly got missing or maybe him no want make Fayose remember him matter.

What ever we want to venture into in life, we must weigh the ups and down and be ready to come to equity with clean hands. Common sense will become common nonsense if its only targeted at a particular people or party.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT HEARD THEY WANT TO IMPEACH HIM

WHY CELEBRITY MARRIAGES FAIL

WHY CELEBRITY MARRIAGES FAIL 

--No matter who we are in life we must respect the tennets of Marriage-- Princewill Chimereze

celebrity marriages comes with lots of uneccessary nd irrelevat burden that makes it hit the rock most at the slightes misunderstanding. There are reasons that makes celebrity marriages fail but below are some of the reasons.

1. UNCHANGED CHARACTER: This reason is not only peculiar to  celebrities but to everyone. Many ladies never work on their characters before venturing into marriage. Imagine a lady with lots of anger issues getting into marriage, she would less likely tolerate what she gets to see in the marriage. Some ladies are gossip freak to the extent that when they get married they wont even know when they will spread the dirty side of their marriage outside which if it gets to the notice of their husband will be suicidal. Some guys are chronic womanizers that even marriage can never change them. They chase after any babe that has got what they like forgeting they are married.

2. LIMELIGHT: fame, comes with lots of changes. What an ordinary person can endure and move on with in marriage, a celebrity might not  be able to do so cos of fame and limelight. A celebrity does not know what it is like to manage in marriage when the chips are down. The woman have to continue the lifestyle she has built for herself over the years. She wouldn't want to be seen as living a life that is not of her standard.  This can make her engage in extra marital affairs just to keep up the limelight.

3. MARRIAGE FOR CONVENIENCE: Many celebrities are in marraige for convinience or for the sake of it. And you expect such marraige to last? Some celebrities feel many of their celebrity friends are getting married therefore, they need to do so. Some are in it for what they would gain from their partner and when such goodies are no longer coming, they end up crashing the marriage. They know they don't love their potential husband but because of convenience and to sustain the kind of life they 've fashioned for themselves, they would just marry the person. A clear case is Funke Akindele, who married a man known to be a serial womanizer and has been married twice. The marriage ended via Facebook.  

4. MARRIAGE FOR WEALTH: This reason is similar to that of convenience. Most celebrities are poor if you take away their other crooked ways of income. That is why they look out for anyone who is rich to get married to so they can continue to get the latest shoe, clothes and other material things that they can't do without. Ini Edo go tell me say she no see fine, responsible and hardworking boys way full everywhere fall in love with and get married?  She did but wanted a rich man. Today they are divorced not only divorced but the man is asking for his Bride price back.        

5. LIES: Celebrities know how to lie. Some of them call it strategies to remain relevant because of the competition in showbiz but its unnecessary. Some will say they 've bought a house when actually they rented it. Some can be driving their sugar daddy and sugar mummy's car and claim its theirs. You would only know when they have problems with these people. When their partner gets to know about all these lies, the next thing is divorce because the marriage itself was built on lies.

6. FAKE LIFE: No one on earth lives a fake life more than celebrities. It would surprise you to know that what you see on the surface is just a cover for the dirt, pain, sorrow, woes, and regrets inside. Do you know that some celebrities borrow clothes to wear? They squat with friends and act like its their house? Do not be deceived by Instagram pictures all na wash. Some musicians have no hit single but act like they 've gotten everything in life. Some give you updates like; last night was awesome, he is the best man in the world, doesn't smoke, womanize or take alcohol when the man is actually a drunkard and drug addict. When they can't take it anymore, you know the rest.

7.  LACK OF RESPECT FOR MARRIAGE INSTITUTION: In my article about Tiwa Savage's Marriage, (found here: enlightennigeria.blogspot.com/2016/05/tiwa-savage-married-and-was-still.html?m=1). I pointed out some bad characters that made that marriage crash of which many of them boils down to lack of respect for the institution. How can a woman be married and still wants to act like she is still single. Cleavage barring, attending parties and getting drunk and tipsy, being on location for almost a week, getting so cosy on movie or music set, wearing skimpy dress and what have you and expect the marriage to be successful. Marriage comes with sacrifices and doing away with some of the things we were doing while we were yet to get married.

Marriage is not by force if one knows they can't cope with the stress and hassle that comes with it better remain single than get into it and divorce almost immediately. Marriage no be by Dubai wedding or 50 million Naira but by enduring and persevering to the End.
