Nigerians are bashing a former senator who represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the 8th assembly, Dino Melaye, on twitter for flaunting his wealth.
The senator took to twitter on Monday evening to post pictures of his well furnished mansion with an accompanying message: “Dont ask me how. Ask God who has made me his personal project. God you are great…Great is your name. Dino MELAYE is thanking you every day.”
Most of those who responded to his post were furious, calling on the anti-graft agencies in the country to investigate the source of his wealth.
One furious Nigerian said sarcastically, “Our money looks good on you sir. We can’t love you less.”
Here are some of the responses to his post:
Good question, imagine a law maker coming out here to brag about riches when he should be representing his people in the house, bringing about positive change & being a good example. It’s sad that we mistake riches for wealth & put the flashes things before the important ones.

The irony of it is that ALL THESE WILL VANISH ONE DAY.

Flaunt our money in our faces. People can die for all you care. With the poverty and deaths going on in the country, you show us your affluence and riches. Riches that you and your kind took from us.

See as you dey look 4 trouble? When a pauper suddenly becomes rich without no sweat, he shows off. Guy, there are better ways of appreciating God than flaunting ur house. How many genuine rich/healthy have u seen flaunting their riches? humility is a virtue, Accidental Rich Man!

If not in a godforsaken country like Naija where mediocres exhibits their mediocrity with fanfare & utmost finesse unchallenged, how can he come in the open to show his affluence when he does nothing like buying & selling, manufacturing etc but opportunistic politicking?

You don’t have any Company producing goods|services or created skilled employment. You don’t pay due taxes like other patriotic Nigerians. These were acquired from your Parasitic Opportunism in politics which has Ended. Worldly acquisitions cannot Mask your inherent insecurities.
