Melaye is seen idly dragging a bag down a busy street full with stores and traffic in the now-viral video.
The former senator, who is well-known for his lavish lifestyle and his public persona, shocked many Nigerians by travelling through Dubai without any help or obvious protection. There have been a lot of reactions to the film on the internet, with views ranging from scepticism to enthusiasm. Melaye’s self-reliance and humility were commended by some, who described the incident as a welcome reminder that public servants are not beyond taking care of themselves.
Not everyone, though, saw the occasion favourably. Critics questioned if the scene was a planned public relations stunt meant to change his reputation. Dino Melaye has already attracted notice during his trips to Dubai. Previous videos of him visiting camel hospitals, posing with lion cubs, and contrasting luxuries abroad and at home have frequently sparked discussion regarding his message and goals. This most recent video was released shortly after he lost the Kogi governorship election, and it has been stated that he then spent some time in the United Arab Emirates.
Melaye has not yet made a public remark on the video, and the precise time and location of the film’s capture have not been confirmed. However, the picture of one of Nigeria’s most well-known politicians dragging his own bag through a foreign city still dominates online discussions, underscoring once more how even the most mundane events can have a significant impact on public opinion.
