That a youth who took his time to get "quality" education would wake up one morning, and after reflecting on the struggle of employment, think and conclude that "all way na way — I should be like Dino" (who probably has had no lucrative job prior to politics), who in eight years could boast of this much wealth. If being an 'Hushpuppi' makes you susceptible to the law enforcement agencies, being a 'Hushdino' (in the coinage of Azu Ishiekwene) or 'Dinospuppi' under the ruling party, affords you not just 'immunity' from these agencies, but more interestingly you have them as your escorts and protectors of yourself and your loot.
