The likes of Desmond Elliot, Yahaya Bello and Elisha Abbo have so many times proven the fact that an average Nigerian youth is no different from the old men in the Government.

They've so many times proven that corruption in Nigeria isn't just about our aged politicians but a general thing.

We saw how our various SUG officials operated in school, how coursereps, lodge presidents and the rest operated. We all saw the corruption there. If you think this generation will politically do better than this current aged politicians, then you are clueless.

An average Nigerian is tribalistic, oppressive, selfish and corrupt. It's in almost all the sectors in this country and it'll take decades for this country to be free from the aforementioned.

Know this and know peace.

And just so you know; 98.485% of Nigerians condemning Desmond Elliot will do the same, they'll rather choose the interest of their political mentors and Godfathers who will politically help and connect them than the interest of the masses.







Don't get it twisted, don't expect any good to come from those who lick the asses of Godfathers. They are their for their selves and masters only. It shall be well when we vote someone with no luggages (criminal records, Godfather, owes nobody favour and has no connection with these rotten polithiefcian)

Desmond Elliot has apologized for addressing the youths as 'Children' while making his submission during plenary at the Lagos state House of Assembly last week, Igbere TV reports.

In a viral video that captured the Surulere lawmaker's submission on the Lagos carnage, he addressed the youths as children and opined that social media was used to fuel the carnage.

Igbere TV reports that Nigerians on social media have been dragging him since for his comment.

In a statement he released on his Twitter handle today, the actor apologized for his choice of words during the deliberation. According to him, he did not mean to be insensitive.

You Apology accepted. It is the only the USELESS FOOL will see the destruction of the innocent people not to be a crime. You are move by the emotion seeing your constituency been destroyed by the so called Children because they behave like a child with out common sense. God bless you. And to those who will not accept your apology I say may they not know peace until when they find a heart to accept you apology..

I'm on the contrary. Have you ever heard of Gbenga Abiola, that young LG Chairman in lagos a few years back? Please read about him and his achievement. It all depends on the composition of those in government who nominatedthem to contest any electoral position. Do you know who nominated desmond? How did he get there? The last time i checked, Senator Oluremi Tinubu played a great role in his nomination and candidature as lagos law maker representing surulere. She was able to personally fight for her before her husband and that was all.

The Elisha Abbo you cited, was he the preferred candidate in his constituency or was he preferred by the powers that be...? In Lagos, you cannot become anything without soiling your hands in dirty stuffs. You must belong to one association or the other, dine and wine in secret with bad influencers in the society. You can imagine of of the law makers saying he wanted to ahare the looted warehouse palliative at his upcoming birthday...wandering if it was a birthday pack, lol
The circumstances surrounding his emergence can never be transparent and clean You must be initiated to emerge party candidate in some circles and that'swhy they don't care when they get there. Now tell me, how would such a candidate who emerged without the will of the people behave well, regardless of age group he belongs?

If a youth is elected or nominated and screened in a transparent, honest and meritorious manner, there's no how he would misbehave. Our electoral process needs to be reformed such that, the mentality of "whether people vote or not, whoever is preferred would win" would be totally erased.

In lagos some years back, a guy called Aeroland won the assembly slot by wide margin. Tinubu went to meet him, promising him billions of naira to step down for his party candidate but he refused. He said the people wanted and voted him. They trusted he would deliver. After series of threats to his life and that of his family he had to drop succumbed and the result was upturned in favour of the guy who belongs to Tinubu's party.

Our youths are vibrant with good ideas but the bad ones always have their way because of there they belong.

Nigerian "pikin" abi na wetin that idiot called us again? has really made me proud for calling out this idiot and making him realise his bloody mistake but in saying this, I'm somehow disappointed that Nigerian "children" are saying that this idiot can still continue to hold his seat in the house of assembly till 2023. Can we "pikin" not ask this idiot to resign now (or is there no where in the constitution that allows for this?) for making that utterance, encouraging and trying to promote the regulation of social media which in my view amount to oppression and suppressing the voice of the people.

Pls note, there is reversible and irreversible efulefu. If the efulefu decides to acquire knowledge and evolve to better human being in spirit and in truth then we can say he is reversed. However, any efulefu that will come out in public and call his fellow youths children in the name of politics is a super efulefu.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

the solution is not replacing old politicians with youths but to create a system of accountability, where a politician that steals money can be prosecuted, where a senator doesnt earn more than 200 Nigerians combined, the narrative we need to change is the system

You've hit the nail unbiased and like I keep telling everyone it takes a whole lot of grace to handle an office and not mess up as low as 0.5% cos alot goes on at about the same time...and am sure Desmond in his closet had told himself the truth seeing all the tantrum's thrown and reactions even from those he called his own to realize how much damage a 2 or 3 minutes speech has caused him and such was humble enough to quickly come publicly to apologise but remember again this is Nigeria,Some are good are record keeping and such records be pulled out when needed to use to tackle even the very smallest situation...
