Former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has sparked reactions on social media after a video surfaced showing him preparing breakfast for himself overseas.
The video is alleged to have been shot in Dubai and captures the flamboyant former senator in a kitchen setting, slicing vegetables and cooking beans unaided, a notable contrast to the public usual perception of his lifestyle.
In the clip, Melaye, who is known for his flashy cars and outspoken political style, playfully remarked that living overseas is a leveller with no domestic staff or family members around to assist.
The now viral video has generated a mix of admiration and amusement from Nigerians online. Many commended him for showcasing humility and the ability to care for himself, while others see it as a rare glimpse of vulnerability and simplicity from a man often seen in more opulent settings.
