Unilag Students Treated Like Animals At Sen. Ben Murray Bruce's Birthday

Who is Genuine in Nigeria?
Senator Ben Murray Bruce turned 60 yesterday, he
took the opportunity to launch his book "The
Common Sense Revolution" but it's sad to see that
the event in its totality portrays the average Nigerian
Politician.
Usually, I hate to attend these so called "Big" events
but it was Ben Bruce, the common sense guy, I
jumped at the Opportunity to go with my
department, department of Mass Communication,
University of Lagos as we were invited with a letter
and we were feeling all important. We didn't know it
was an invitation to humiliation.
At the venue, we were told to go upstairs, we didn't
mind, as they said that area was reserved for
students. Getting there, I realized it was a perfect
view to watch the "Elites" wine and dine. Still, we
didn't care. We only began to care when the
ceremony kept going on and all tables kept getting
additional contents and we were just there, like
Observers. Don't forget that we were invited, as I
said earlier.
While all of that kept happening, I still didn't care
because they said every guest will get a free copy of
the book. I wanted the book so, I waited on. At the
end, only the guests got the Book. I had to look at
our invitation to be sure we were guests. Yes, we
were guests but the stiff class stratification that
Senator Bruce Criticizes came to play.
It's so sad to see that the actions of the Common
Sense Guy justifies the "Common Sense is not so
common" statement.
Since I know it's all fake, I'd like to give a
professional PR advice. It's so bad, if you invite
Nigerian Students, who will, to a large extent,
determine your political success, to an event only
for them to watch you and your rich friends dine.
Their votes aren't even enough.
Writing a book about Common Sense doesn't
actually make you have Common Sense. We aren't
hungry people. We are Unilag Students and we are
contented with what we have, we wouldn't go to
shop 10 to sweet-talk anyone about common sense,
just to get rice.
Happy Birthday, Senator Ben! Thanks for the deceit,
segregation and above all, thanks so much for the
Palm oil made Jollof Rice with a meat-like object.
