Desmond Ellliot If the hint
within the reach of nfc is
anything to go by, fine
boy actor, Desmond Elliot
has landed in trouble over
his recent pronouncement
that video clubs should be
scrapped. The baby-faced
actor was among the
famous faces of the
English genre of Nigerian
movie industry, who
were feted recently by
Oronto Douglas, the
Senior Special Assistant to
President Jonathan on
Research and Strategy.
Although, the idea of the
informal dinner held at the
Sky Bar of Eko Hotel and
suites was planned to give
the screen gods and
goddesses the
opportunity to vent their
grouse about the dying
movie industry, some top
movie marketers and
video club owners have
vowed to deal with
Desmond for his
utterances. While
Desmond might have
spoken his mind, nfc
scooped that some
marketers, who also
double as video club
owners, have come
together to decide that
they will never sell or buy
any movie that has the
face of Desmond Elliot if
he refuses to apologise.
Pleading anonymity, one
of the top executives of
the Association of Video
Club Owners said, “For
Desmond to have made
that statement, it shows
that he does not know the
importance of video clubs
in the crisis ridden movie
industry. How many
people would like to waste
their money on a movie
with the same story lines
with many parts? Apart
from being a rent outlet
for movies, video clubs
also sell films.”
However, one of the star
actors, who confided in
nfc said that there is a
need to regulate the
activity of video clubs and
total scrap is not the
solution as argued by
Desmond because piracy
remains the bane of the
movie industry.
Moreover, a bird in the
know squealed that
Desmond’s utterances,
have set some of his
colleagues, who also has
video clubs against him.

Desmond made a very big mistake by saying that ,and he should apologise.[color=][/color]

Definitely Mond have to apologise, but i've known Elliot to be a prudent fellow and he might aswell have a reason for those utterance.
