According to Bruce, because he is struggling to pay ensure that he pays his staff members their due salary, he could not afford to service his cars. He wrote:

‘14 million Nigerians lost jobs in the last 4 years. I am employee of labour, and I know how much I have struggled to ensure that I do not sack any of my 1058 staff. Sometimes, I can’t even service my cars. So don’t tell me you will create jobs when you spent 4 years losing jobs!”
