Selling My Cars Won’t End Nigeria’s Recession, I’ve Ordered For More – Dino Melaye

• 

  Nigerian Senator, Dino Melaye has opened up on his source of wealth, his love life and love for cars. Checkout excerpts from an interview with Friday Olokor of Punch
  
  Why do you love cars?
  
  I love automobiles and everybody can be passionate about a particular thing. Some can be passionate about homosexuality. They can spend any amount of money to sleep with a man. Some are passionate about occultism. They can buy blood at any amount of money. Some are passionate about diamonds; you can ask Diezani (Alison-Madueke). My passion is automobiles and there is no crime in that and I am very proud of it. Once the automobiles are not products of crime and they are not got from any ill-gotten wealth, then a man should be proud about what he is passionate about. I love automobiles and I am waiting for the next collection.
  
  On odering for more cars despite some members of his constituency unable to feed, he said
  
  Yes, my cars cannot underwrite the recession problems of this country. Even if you sell my cars now, it will not make Nigeria to come out of recession.  Where is Mrs. Melaye and what can you say specifically about your marital life?
  
  I am single. I have three children. But I am not married. I won’t remain single forever. Very soon I will invite you (to my wedding) and I assure you (that the person I will marry) will be a Made-in-Nigeria woman.
  
  Why do you find it difficult to settle down with one woman?
  
  I have always been married to one woman and all my children are from one woman. I have only been married once. Whatever marriage I am going into now will be my second marriage. If you are anxious to know, I will invite you.
  
  Are you ruling out the possibility of reconciling with your wife?
  
  I don’t have a wife.
  
  Many believe that you are young and therefore they query the source of your stupendous wealth. How did you get your money?
  
  I don’t know about stupendous wealth. I don’t know about being wealthy, but I will say I am a comfortable Nigerian and I have never got any contract from the government contract in my life. I have also never taken.
