It is no longer news that Nollywood actor and politician Desmond has indeed stepped on the toes of many Nigerians and not just celebrities, since the video of him accusing Nigerians celebrities and social media influencers, for igniting the massacre at the Lekki tollgate on October 2020.
Desmond Elliot sneaked into the House of Assembly to instigate hate against social media, against us here and against celebs like him.

He is more angry we have a voice than he is angry about the people massacred in Lekki.
Now the video is out:
That man is a complete disgrace.
You’ll recall that we reported that the actor and politician took down the video of him accusing social media influencers and celebrities from the Lagos State House of Assembly official website, which many dragged him out on social media.
We also told you that, Desmond after the sitting at the parliament, shared a video of himself addressing the said video which was said to have been taken down, saying he was misunderstood.
Well, the said video of Desmond Elliot calling out celebrities, has now surfaced on social media and has gotten lots of Nigerians talking, as they came after him for his reckless statement made.
In the video, Desmond addressed Nigerians as children and was more concerned about the culture of the country and state, than the lives that were lost at the protest ground on Tuesday 20th October 2020, that also got people talking as most celebrities couldn’t hold back their anger anymore, and has reacted to the video.
People are dying and Desmond Elliot is concerned about our culture and respect for elders.

In a tweet by popular Nigerian musician Davido, he wrote; Desmond Elliot just destroyed all the precious childhood memories he gave us in movies ….”

Of course Desmond Elliot spends more time condemning the response to the #LekkiMassacre than the massacre itself.
