Nigerian senator Dino Melaye has ignited online discussions after a video of him purchasing black market fuel for his multi-million naira Ferrari went viral.

The now-viral video, posted by a group of men on social media, shows the well-known senator surrounded by black market fuel attendants by the roadside.

While some online users believe it is no big deal and see it as Melaye supporting roadside sellers, others speculate that he might be feeling the effects of the country’s economic hardship.
