A Rejoinder to Dino Melaye: The Senate Lout and Thug In Switzerland by Ademola Olateju

This is a rejoinder from someone in National Assembly, who works closely with Saraki, to the post Dino Melaye: The Senate Lout and Thug In Switzerland by Ademola Olateju.
Thank you so much. Bamidele Ademola and his like should stop thinking they will change Nigeria by being armchair critics. Nigeria don't need anymore of this flock but people who want to actively do something about the ill they see by contesting elections or making sure that those they disagree with don't win elections. The foolishness I see among our elite is that they think there is something special about them because they can speak English. They profess so much love for Nigeria and Nigerians and know more than Einstein how to solve the problems we face but ask them to spare the country a pinch of their knowledge by standing for election and filling up the space that the so called never do wells have usurped they remember that politics in dangerous and wicked and they have a precious family and career to important for politics.

It smacks of the proverbial Chichi dodo that loves maggots but hates the excrement that produce it. Little wonder these politicians don't give them the slightest consideration because apart from talk they do nothing and the masses don't hear them.

Very strange. We have left politics for the F9 students in our classes yet we expect them to produce A1 laws and decisions that will shape our collective future. When the outcome of our decision come back at us we think postulating gives us escape.

But we want to compare them with those in the west who are the bests in the best schools in the world. God help us. He should bury his head in a sand like an ostrich as usual

Dino Melaye: The Senate Lout and Thug In Switzerland by Ademola Olateju

Saraki, Dino Melaye, Stella Oduah, Lasun, etc went to Switzerland for Inter Parliamentary Union meeting. As you will expect of thieving Nigerian public official, they stayed in Intercontinental Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in Geneva. For the avoidance of doubt, Geneva is among the top five most expensive cities in the world.

At about 7pm on Tuesday, my source; a young postgraduate student of Law who was in a reception in which the members of the national assembly addressed Nigerian professionals, started sending me pictures of the Senators as they arrived the cocktail dinner. She was beyond shocked at the appearance of a Nigeria senator and the quality of discourse. She told me it was banal and without substance. She said, only Saraki had something called a brain. Others wasted time with empty protocols as if they were addressing themselves in their usual bogus manner in the Senate chambers, with no real answers to serious questions. She described Lasun as the worst, the most uninspiring and dense Deputy Speaker ever! Followed by Gaya in lack of intellect.

Saraki entered the room with Dino as his body guard. She observed; "Dino's loyalty is to Saraki rather than Nigeria". The meeting was billed for 6:00pm to 8:00pm. Diaspora Nigerians from the nooks and crannies of Switzerland arrived early waiting for them. As usual, the legislators came late, arriving almost 7 pm. To her consternation, Dino introduced and described Saraki as the irremovable senate president among other accolades and praise singing titles.

For me, I wasn't surprised when I saw the picture of Dino as Saraki's bodyguard. That is what Dino is good at. He's been a bodyguard and thug all his life. I blame the system that throws up retards, thieves and bare chested idiots as leaders. What bothers me is the unfeeling nature of these people. The general lack of seriousness and comprehension about the state of the nation. The sense of we get paid whether we do something or nothing or whether Nigeria loses or wins.

I am past caring that Dino is a weapon of convenience for Saraki. He has tied his fate and that of his constituency to Saraki. It bothers me, that Nigerian professionals abroad came to dinner all well dressed, to see a Senator dressed in T-Shirt screaming you killing me... And with a bathroom slippers on with jeans! It is disrespectful! It is scornful and it is demeaning to the institution of the Senate. This braggart is unfit for the office he occupies. Instead of projecting his fatherland in the best possible way, he uploaded a video of himself in his usual self promoting way, dancing in his hotel room in Geneva. Shouting God and Jesus is what you do when run out of ideas on how to do anything for Nigeria, and deceive people that you are one with God.

We have a grave sociocultural problem in this country. I went to Dino's page and read the comments. Poor, jobless and oppressed youths were hailing him, calling this boorish lout their hero and role model. The opulence of his Geneva hotel got them. There are lots of professional hard working Nigerians who genuinely earn their own keep and stay in these hotels. No one celebrates them, no one wants to be like them. A society where the young looks up to Dino cannot prosper. May God save Nigeria from the evil of Nigerians.
