Dino Melaye, the Senator representing Kogi West in the Senate, has revealed his amazement as he witnessed Ghana’s Independence Day celebration which had many cultural and national demonstration of love,unity and purpose.
Dino Melaye who is attending the celebration alongside President Buhari and many other politicians, further took a swipe at the Independence Day Celebration in Nigeria, which he said has been turned into a low key event in the Presidential Villa.
Here’s what he wrote;
I feel sad and ashamed this morning as I physically see the cultural and national demonstration of love,unity and purpose exhibited by Ghanaians here at the Black Star Square in Accra- Ghana as Ghana celebrate their 61st independence and 25 years of uninterrupted Democracy. It is sad that My President and eminent Nigerians watch this glamour and respect for heritage which Nigeria as Regional Champions lost years ago. We have stop celebrating anything in Nigeria. I.e Independece day,Democracy day and Children’s day.
Our Independence Day is now a low key event in the Presidential Villa. The Question is how did we get here and why did we get here! We are here president and citizens of Nigeria clapping for our’younger” brother Nation Ghana! What a shame. The reasons for the fear of National celebrations are the colossal injustices in the land. We as leaders at all levels must be fair and just to all. As long as we twist justice and flow in the gown of injustice and hypocrisy we will never openly celebrate like Ghana is doing today. We must decide to re-think and re-build. Altogether we have failed.
We must bring back our long lost reputation. As a child I always look forward to celebrations like this. What will my children and their generation look out for. God will ask us all,leaders of Nigeria our roles in getting to this abysmal level. Hope Mr President and all of us present in Accra today will learn a huge lesson from Ghana. Congratulations Ghana,Africa is proud of you. SDM

I commend Sen. Dino for the point of order he raised; I equly commend his fairness of not apportioning blame excluding himself & 3rdly for d well positioned rhetorical that actually demand action; not a mere answer. On Dino I stand!

Comment…Dino is always making noise. Is he not among the leaders of this country? What has he done to ameliorate the situation? For me to reason with someone like Dino, he must first and foremost go and cut down his monthly salary so that we the unemployed graduates of this country can gainfully employed.

Comment…Dino, If really your fight is for the betterment of all Nigerians, why not move a motion of cutting down the salary of the National assembly members so that Mr President can have money to finance peace Corps. I know you to have sponsored alot of bills, why not sponsor this one to gain more support. If you can’t do that, I advise you to keep silent.
