On Dino Melaye's Protest
By Pius Adesanmi.
I don't even know how I missed this one in all
the recent back and forth but I have only just
heard with one ear that the Senator
Representing Bukola Saraki in the Senate, His
Excellency Otunba Distinguished Senator Dino
Melaye, is calling for protest and offering to
lead it.
Senator Melaye's call for protest is welcome
on one count: we have had such a tough,
stressful week that a little dosage of comic
relief is in order. When the history of this past
week is written, you cannot say that Okun land
did not help Nigeria out by offering badly-
needed national comedy in the person of
Senator Dino Melaye.
A people's misery, a people's weakest
moment, is always a very fecund producer of
opportunistic aspirant heroes and sheroes
trying to embezzle such a people's legitimate
struggles and triumphs. These are often
prurient characters who sense an opportunity
to smuggle themselves and their rottenness
into nice positive corners in the people's
memory. They want to be seen and known as
liberators and freedom fighters.
Dino Melaye comes from the worst of this
tradition: a pro-corruption activist always
ready to freelance on the side of the people
whenever he senses an opportunity to
embezzle the people's misery and frustration.
You steal from the people all the time.
You impoverish the people all the time.
Even that poverty, you won't let them own it if
embezzling it can burnish your ego and
image. Original were ni Dino yi.
Our friend, FFK, also belongs in this category
of embezzlers. Whenever he is not eating at
the centre, he becomes a champion of the
people, especially on the ethnic front.
When he lost out at the centre, he became a
champion of Yoruba causes and very nearly
won some of my personal people over. He was
that good at fooling people. I told folks that
this champion of the Yoruba people was just
making noise to be noticed again at the centre
and he would abandon that cause as soon as
he was invited to Abuja.
Goodluck Jonathan invited him...
When Jonathan lost the election, he could not
return to Yoruba nationalism. There was no
way he would fool people twice on that front.
So, he became the Aare Ona Kakanfo
Gburugburu of Igbo land, fighting ethnic wars
on behalf of the Igbo, hoping that the Igbo
would forget slurs such as "the Bitter Truth
about the Igbo" and the fact that he was very
recently the shine-Congo-and-publicly-tell-in-
Chief of Igbo land.
But for the fact that FFK is currently
undergoing degoatification, he would have
taken a sabbatical leave from defending the
Igbo to join up with Dino Melaye in being the
liberators of the Nigerian people. And if the
Igbo don't take him back after that, he would
become the champion of Tiv nationalism.
Naija youth, beware of these characters.
Beware of cheap embezzlers of your legitimate
grief.
If you are an Okun youth especially, do not let
me hear that you have signed up for Dino's
protest o. He has no legitimacy. He is more
your immediate problem than Buhari at the
centre. He owes you explanations about his
unaccountable wealth. He owes you
explanations on the backwardness of Okun
land. He is everything you should never aspire
to be.
If you follow him like the fly which has no
advice and followed the corpse to the grave,
we shall identify your immediate family, your
idile, and your agbo ile and report you to
them. Okun land is not that big. |
