Lagos House Of Assembly Member, Hon. Desmond Elliot speaks on the recent EndSARS protests and Lekki Killingw.

Speaking in Lagos House of Assembly, the lawmaker said:

"Mr Speaker, we need to address certain things, the Nigerian youth, social media, social influencers, all of these are making the narratives that we are seeing today, except we are joking with ourselves. "

"Social Media, yes, though good, has its negative impact, let me first thank you for condemning the wanton killings and the carniage that happened at Lekki. When I Went through the comments I could not believe it Mr Speaker, the curses, the abuses from children, and I ask myself, is this Nigeria? What is going on? Children cursing? People having the effrontery to enter the Oba's Palace, hold the staff of office, culture is gone."

"Mr Speaker, in the next 5 years, there will be no Nigeria. If we don't start now, the youth is not only those who did the peaceful protest, those who have looted, who have destroyed lives, they are youths as well. Mr Speaker pregnant women, went into malls, picked things and went away. When shall we change this narrative? I put it to all the celebrities out there, all the motivational speakers, this is the only country we have. When things happen, what is our common saying? 'We die here'. Please celebrities, please social media influencers, stop the hatred already,
you have a means constitutionally to change the Governmet ..."

pastor no preaching today?

Spoken like a true sellout.

He’s benefiting from the same system oppressing the People he ought to fight for..

This here is what happens when you place monetary gain over moral poise

Another Rubbish Talk...

1...who ordered the shooting in Lakki?
2..why didn't you share the palliatives?

For me I'll really want those peddlers of fake news to get what they deserve.

He is actually making sense, but as expected, our emotional and dumb yooots will curse him

He made so much sense but the useless youth he's talking about will make a repeat of what he's complaining of and then shut him up....
Perhaps, he belongs to the APC, so it's expected.

However, I still think he's stupid for making reference to "lekki shooting ".. If anyone had indeed died by the hands of the army/police ( not thugs and stampede) , they are not better than those killed in other locations or states.

This is the reason I fear a youth leader. I don't even know what our problem is in this country. It obviously is not in the age of our leaders

Desmond Ediot....

He's a scam, another proof that looking good doesn't translate to functional brain.

Wetin dis wan they talk

I agree with Desmond.

Social media is a vast sea of uncharted territory and regardless of its benefits, it has been proven countless times to be deadly - a potential weapon of mass destruction - that lack any clear stringent regulatory laws to curtail its excesses.

And irrespective of what you and I may think now, let it be clear that a time will definitely come when the world will collectively agree that this hydra-headed monster called social media must be reigned in to mitigate against future man-made disasters.

these questions aren't suppose to be directed at Uncle Desmond. It's meant for Sanwo-Olu.

#saynotogodfatherism

He is partly right tho

... see dem mugu face dem

I'm shocked people are still expecting sense from this Desmond guy ...one major requirement for holding any political office is you have to be senseless and stupid ....
If you think it's a lie tell me one politician that has sense !!!

hmm

you know Nigerians can take down any celebrity and turn them to nonentity any time they want.

So I'll advice Desmond Elliott to trend carefully

See mouth
