Desmond Elliot Apologises For Addressing The Youths As Children by Priscy01(f): 8:20pm On Oct 29, 2020 |
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. His statement read; “I have read your honest feedback & suggestions & I sincerely apologize for addressing the youth as “Children” I did not mean to be insensitive with this, it was borne out of the magnitude of destruction & looting of businesses I witnessed when I went on a tour of my constituency https://twitter.com/DesmondOElliot/status/1321854865551839232?s=19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7o5XyZiDFE 7 Likes 1 Share

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. 987 Likes 105 Shares |

Dear Child, Ever since you displayed your loyalty to your drug master, I knew you would end up a monumental disgrace to your generation... I have always known you to be a cunning child and I have no doubt that this silly apology of yours was not straight from your heart. As for me and the God fearing "Children" of Nairaland, "We reject your stupid apology" To hell with you Desmond "Efulefu" Elliot. 706 Likes 52 Shares |

Unfortunately, the apology will even make the 'children' drag him the more. There's a reason they say ' think before you talk' Please Children, forgive Desmond. After all no one is infallible. 46 Likes 3 Shares |
