Nollywood actor, director and
producer, Desmond Elliot, who has joined the league of celebrities- cum politicians, is currently under fire.

When photos of Desmond
‘Oluwashola” Eliot’s campaign posters and details of his platform, under APC, the leading political party in Lagos State, found their way to the internet last night, some of his fans began mocking him for the sudden adoption of the name “Oluwashola”.

“Very sad. Like Jonna, who added Ebele to his name in other to full the Igbos, this one has also added Yoruba name to his name, just to get the votes of the ignorant people that will be carried away by his fame and vote”, one Blessing Efam wrote on twitter.

Another MzEloh on the actor’s
Instagram page wrote “and ‘olusola’ comes out. I thought he was from Delta state? Desmond choose one, actor, filmmaker or politician”.

While a certain Azeez Oluwaseun
wrote on facebook “Olusola…
Laughable! Well, let the best man win. If he has anything tangible to contribute, then he should be given a chance.The new name he added though, is laughable. Is that supposed to garner more votes for him or what? LOL! Are we Yorubas mediocres or are we short of intelligent Yorubas who can vote for office? Why the new name?”

Tobena on twitter also says “This is really funny, though, did he suddenly remember his ancestors are Yoruba, abi where did Olusola surface from, nawa oh…Olushola ko! Olushola ni! So all of a sudden he remembers he has a Yoruba name eh! Guy, contest if you want but don’t come up with any name thinking it’s gonna change
anything! I’m sure GEJ is your role model cos you’ve started towing his path of adding Ebele to his name to gain favour with the Igbos. Small time you go come dey tell us how you no get shoe and you dey trek the streets of Lagos! Who even knew this dude was Yoruba! He never identified as one and now all in the name of politricks, his name is Olushola…..Oga park well biko!”

Declaring support for the actor
however, a twitter user, Mimi said “I don’t have a problem with him going into politics, but the fact that he never proudly identified as a Yoruba man (used english names, never spoke yoruba or did anything to signify he was yoruba), but all of a sudden, because he’s running for office in yoruba land, whips out his yoruba name, tells a lot about his dodgy intentions. It’s such a cunning and manipulative behavior”.

Another Facebook user, Daniel
Emmanuel chose to sit on the fence saying “Nothing do you Desmond, carry on. I so much appreciate & love this current trend sweeping across the nation. Our youths are waking up from slumber to take over what belongs to them. Our political milieu at this point should be saturated with vibrant & God fearing youth who are willing & able to bring the needed development that has eluded us for years. Our political elites have failed us.
According to Pericle, in his address to the people of Athens said we alone regard a man who do not take interest in public affairs not as harmless but a useless character. At this juncture, I want to call on our youths to leave & quit watching Arsenal & Manchester FC & channel their energy to a more profitable venture which is joining politics & wrestle power with the current corrupt politicians who are only interested in feeding their stomach while our nation bleeds from all angle.”

Although Desmond Elliot is yet to react to the criticisms, his colleagues in the industry have publicly declared their supports for him by posting photos of the campaign posters on their social media pages.

Na wa o. Almost everybody in showbiz wants to go into politics. But really, where did Olusola come out from? He never identified himself as a Yoruba person.

Lolz.. I can't believe this..Desmond idiot has now turn yoruba...I thought the freak came from the east

I just hope his policies and governing will not be of the same standard as his singing

Olushola

Funny indeed

olushola or wetin? U are O.Y.O.......we need more youths,let's flush away all those old cargos.....#the youths are taking over.....#say no to gerontocrasy

Olushola indeed..i nva knew dude is yoruba!

He must have sworn a change of name affidavit... Egbon Shollay

Dis guy don miss road like cow wey no see him fulani, which yoruba family dey bear elliot 4 yorubaland?? Desmond elliot ko silas marner ni

In as much as I like desmond elliot I am his fan but I do not like his sudden adoption of olusola.i never even knew he was yoruba.niw he wanna contest and olusola comes out from nowhere.its indeed laughable.

Olusola Desmond Elliot- O.D.E .ODE would make a fanstastic political name

Its good to be ambitious... But this move makes me wonder the motives behind this is sheepishly looking smile and intentions for dabbling into something as dirty as politics... Someone needs to school him its is far more different and deeper than what is being portrayed in Nolly Wood.

desmond Idiot. I forgot Desmond Olusola Idiot.lol

For those of you who don't know,"olushola" is his baptismal name.

rucream: Lolz.. I can't believe this..Desmond idiot has now turn yoruba...I thought the freak came from the east

Lmao @freak

?oludapo nicholas
modafuqa!!

Well i just checked his profile on the net and it clearly says he's yoruba. Born to a yoruba father and igbo mother. But dat olushola.....hmmmm

Desmond idiot! Desmond idiot!! Desmond idiot!!! How many times I call you.... I beg carry that olusola commot

dis clown tinks he can fool Lagosians

Now that every one in the is going into politics, I am waiting for Terry G to contest too

Olushola nko Olufashola ni... Very soon Obi will add Olu to his name(Oluobi) in other to gather votes from us.we the yorubas are not fools, for christ's sake we are the most educated tribe in Nigeria.

Olusola Desmond Ediot...Lesson learnt: be proud of your heritage

Desmond Elliot was just trying to associate his fake name O-lu-SOLA to fa-SOLA if he had the opportunity he would have used Fa-SHOLA. who knows he probably might be acting and that may be the poster for his next movie. But on a more serious note, politics is the most lucrative business in Nigeria

I find this part very funny: "Olusola tiwa ni "

Actually the guy has a Yoruba father, he's a lagosian cos his father is from Badagry, but he was not brought up in lagos. He did not go abt this change of name the right way, I dnt knw if this people just take decisions without planning, if he knws wants to contest in 2015, he should have included this 'olushola' since around 2012 or '13 perhaps, without telling us its because of politics. He needs God and jagaban in this mata, cos Lagosians no go gbadun this common trick...

dominique: Na wa o. Almost everybody in showbiz wants to go into politics. But really, where did Olusola come out from? He never identified himself as a Yoruba person.

that's his new Imported name...

Oniranu jatijati




Olusola ko! Olufela ni

bullyman36: Now that every one in the is going into politics, I am waiting for Terry G to contest too

he will later adopt a Yoruba name and call himself Oluginger or AkinTerry....





Make I piss joor, awon alainikan kan se radarada

If he like make he answer oduduwa, i dont care
