<\/div>\n<\/div>\nA Nigerian senator has been criticised for his appearance in a music video depicting his lavish lifestyle.<\/p>\n
The song Dino, named after Dino Melaye, features lyrics like \u201c100 cars in the parking lot like I\u2019m Dino\u201d.<\/p>\n
The video shows rapper Kach pretending to eat dollar bills, displaying expensive cars, a mansion, jewellery and shoes.<\/p>\n
Mr Melaye represents the Kogi West constituency, where many local civil servants are owed months of back-pay.<\/p>\n
And many people took to social media to criticise him.<\/p>\n
n the video, Mr Melaye is seen stepping out of a car, wearing a T-shirt labelled Legend.<\/p>\n
The senator is well known for his love of luxury cars, champagne and designer clothes, as his Instagram account shows.<\/p>\n
Other lyrics in the song include: \u201cPopping bottles in the club is nothing like I\u2019m Dino\u201d and \u201cDino Melaiye k\u2019oshi mi o raye\u201d, meaning \u201cGet out, I don\u2019t have time for this,\u201d followed by the chorus \u201cDino, Dino, Dino\u201d.<\/p>\n
Kach, the son of Nigeria\u2019s petroleum minister Ibe Kachikwu, has come to the defence of the senator, saying he has done nothing wrong.<\/p>\n
In the video, Mr Melaye also does his signature dance routine of pulling down his eye-lids and staring at the camera in defiance of his critics.<\/p>\n
Last year the senator released a video of himself dancing and singing what is now known as the \u201cajeku iya song\u201d- a Yoruba proverb which states that if you confront someone bigger than you, you are bound to be badly beaten up.<\/p>\n
In February, he published a book titled Antidotes for Corruption, which attracted mixed reviews.<\/p>\n
