The guy knows, no life outside politics for him.
The kind of money they made in politics cant be made as Nollywood male actors

Even female actors don't make much.

Only very very few actors and actresses make any tangible money from acting

Who says there is no news there? After thinking he could out maneuver his political godfather then he lost everything....you must not know anything about power.. if Gbaja takes him back politically then he's a fool..

I don’t understand why you guys make such a big issue out of an apology. If he has realized his mistake, acknowledged it, and apologized, then what more are you looking for? People make mistakes; what matters is being able to recognize them, take responsibility, and move forward.

You can never understand why because you are a woman and women don't think deep...you call his actions a mistake??
No wonder men can keep dating a woman for several years and still dump her undecided

The kind of rubbish democracy we practice in this country sickens me. When politicians feel the need to go and beg one political godfather somewhere for support then how can such a fellow be accountable to the people he purportedly represents?

Imagine lacking a sensible argument so badly that you had to drag an entire gender into the conversation.

Calling something a mistake has absolutely nothing to do with being a woman or a man. It has to do with being mature enough to understand that people can make poor decisions, recognize their mistakes, apologize, and learn from them.

And that desperate leap from the issue being discussed to “women don't think deep” and men dumping women is just intellectually lazy. If this is what you call “thinking deep,” then perhaps the problem isn't women’s depth after all it is the shallow end of your argument.

Next time, try addressing the point instead of attacking the gender of the person making it. It will make you sound considerably less confused.

It seems you just came across the word " foam". If your knowledge of comprehension is good, this wouldn't be your response. Work on that in addition to your knowledge of political history too.

Cheers.

Artful dodger is another word I just came across,thanks.

There is nothing like shaming here. ...he prostrate , knelt down to beg his political godfather. Desmond knew what he did . That's why he went all out to remedy it.

And take took his picture and video , that's somewhat a plus to him.....Do you know what Desmond is facing from some party members in Surulere, after he lost the primary and his statement.
several intimidations and they have politically ostracized him ....So Desmond doesn't care , as long as everything is resolved...

Eliot had an opportunity to build a good political career but he wasn't wise enough. You can't serve in Lagos and steal like a fool.

You need to have quality projects in your name even if you inflate cost, you'll will have enough portfolio for the next job

Lagos State House of Assembly member, Desmond Elliot, has apologised to Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, over his actions during the last All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Lagos.

Elliot is seen in a video circulating on social media, on his knees pleading with Gbajabiamila for forgiveness and seeking reintegration into the ruling party in Lagos.

I’m sorry, I have no excuse, I have nothing other than to say I’m deeply sorry and I am hoping to be cultured in the future,” Elliot said.

The development followed a disagreement between Elliot and the party leadership after the APC primary for the Surulere Constituency I seat in May.

Elliot had withdrawn from the exercise, alleging intimidation and political pressure against his supporters.

He subsequently rejected the outcome of the primary and said he would challenge the process through the party’s appeal mechanism.

Elliot eventually lost the APC ticket to Barakat Odunuga-Bakare, who was believed to enjoy the backing of Gbajabiamila.

Odunuga-Bakare polled 11,385 votes to defeat Elliot, who secured 270 votes in the primary.

Why do you sneer hypocritically now at the same event with different actors?

Aja pada si bi ebi e. A dog just swallowed it's vomit. This man that construct pako bridge, gave them 1000 liter water by Falolu. Our politicians can't stand on integrity, but depend solely on godfather.

It’s because Nigerian politics is so dysfunctional that a legislator is expected to execute developmental projects. We are all impliedly endorsing corruption because how else is a legislator supposed to lay his hand on project money.

The main job of a legislator is seemingly invisible. He is to make sure our laws are updated and fair and properly considered. There are too many outdated laws, too many gaps in the law and the judiciary which viciously is underfunded is focused into a law making role it was not designed for simply because legislators are building substandard bore holes about their communities.
