"People Don't Believe I'm Lagosian Because I Don't Act Yoruba Movies" - Desmond by ashantemoore(f): 2:20pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
Recall that Nollywood actor, Desmond Elliot was criticized for trying to act Yoruba so he could contest for a seat in the House of Assembly, after the release of his campaign posters bearing a middle name "Olushola". While speaking with City People in a recent chat, the actor defended his name saying; “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.″ http://enquizzle..com/2014/10/people-dont-believe-im-lagosian-because.html

Wrong reason. It is because a yoruba name surfaced as soon as you started eyeing a seat in the house of Assembly. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ride on Desmond, don't mind tribalists. Its like saying Genevieve or Jim Iyke shouldn't contest in their state cos they don't act Igbo movies. |

ChristyG:So, what has he done wrong so far? And what do u think he should have done in the past? Also take into cognisance Kate Henshaw, that is contesting in Cross River, and accepted by her people. |
Re: "People Don't Believe I'm Lagosian Because I Don't Act Yoruba Movies" - Desmond by ChristyG(f): 6:52pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
zeelo2014:kate henshaw has always identified with her calabar peeps,eveybody knows she is from dere unlike desmond dat many did not know he is from lagos talkless of being yoruba,dis is not about acting in yoruba films.he comes across as a user and a confused fellow.in a country like nigeria,u can never be neutral.d fact his first name is shola but he never used it in nollywood,now he wants to go into politics,he now remember dat he is shola abi?he is not smart at all.2015 is almost here,let see how his plan works |

why should they? Even ur name don't sound like one |
Re: "People Don't Believe I'm Lagosian Because I Don't Act Yoruba Movies" - Desmond by zeelo2014: 8:26pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
ChristyG:ohhhk. The issue is that he just came out with his middle name? How about Kate Henshaw that brought out her first name for the first time ever, 'Offiong' and noone seems to care there or Tetula that we never knew his name is Olanrewaju. I just don't understand where this country is heading to. The earlier we eradicate state of origin the better for us. |
Re: "People Don't Believe I'm Lagosian Because I Don't Act Yoruba Movies" - Desmond by ChristyG(f): 10:16pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
zeelo2014:state of origin is here to stay,especially if nigeria still remains a country,dere is nothing like a detribalised nigerian,kate and tony always associated with their roots unlike desmond dat is forming detribalised.i ave always known tony is yoruba,so with kate, infact dere was a short film kate henshaw did for ebonylifetv dat was shot in calabar,she even visited d obong wife and dat was before she announced her political interest.so u cant compare dose ones with desmond case. |
