In Ghana, Dino Melaye Expresses Sadness At Nigeria’s Decline

Must read

Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West at the National Assembly has complained that Nigeria no longer marks important days.

He made this known on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in a post on Instagram. The lawmaker was reacting to the ongoing Ghana Independence celebration.

In attendance were President Muhammadu Buhari, Senate President, Bukola Saraki among others.

Dino Melaye posted a picture of the colourful event and 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 Independence 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 President and all of us present in Accra today will learn a huge lesson from Ghana. Congratulations Ghana, Africa is proud of you.”
