Desmond Elliot: “I Am From Lagos State. My Father Is A Yoruba Man by sammiestar: 3:22pm On Oct 27, 2014
In an Interview with City People , the
actor who a lot of people don't know
his yoruba defended his name.He
said:
“I am from Lagos state. My father is
from Olowogbowo in Lagos Island
but my mother is from Delta state. I
refer to myself as being a Pan-
African. People don’t believe I am a
Lagosian because I seldom act in
Yoruba movies. And I didn’t include
the Shola in my name. Then
because my surname is also
English, many couldn’t differentiate
which made people confused of
where exactly I am from. I am very
detribalised. People of my
constituency know my story and
know where I come from. I have
always used Shola in my primary
school days. I went to Air Force
Primary School in Plateau and later
attended St John’s College, both in
Jos. I proceeded to Lagos State
University where I studied
Economics and graduated in 2003″
