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.

What can the remaining 1.515% do to increase their numbers until they are the majority?

Why do they feel obliged to choose the interest of their political mentors and godfathers instead of the interests of the masses?

You really know what’s up.
He got caught, datsall!
No regrets about the calling of people children. No regrets for that.
Instead of pushing for 100% enrolment of children in government schools, he is busy looting and giving crumbs to the people, like that bucket of water.

Our mistakes... We need to strengthen our system and and not the individuals operating them. Individuals in Nigeria are stronger than the system.

Jonathan spoke a lot about strong institutions over strong individuals. But creating such environment require foundation restructuring. the system we practice is designed for strong individuals over strong institutions.

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.

I 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. This is a great precise analysis of the Nigeria system as at the last second I checked. I agreed with 100%, except where you said 98.5% that figure should 100%.some year back I read an international article that said in Nigeria corruption is is wide spread but today it is simply a procedure.

They want to silence us with useless policies so they can continue with their atrocities.

Why can't they use the same energy to do good so that social media will spread the deeds.

It will never be well with all the wicked politicians that want to regulate social media.

Let all their salaries be cut in 3 first before thinking of how to silence us. Wicked thievery politicians!!

You have a point 100% but they'll do better. The corrupt youth with 21st Century mentality is better than the corrupt old men with 18th Century mentality. However, it lies on us the youths to hold them accountable for bad governance.

Desmond Eliot has always had that tendency to commit a faux pas in his overzealous attempt to please all sides. He must choose a side. Either he sides with the masses or with the oppressors.

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.

Why is Desmond apologising?!
These children are the result of unregulated foolishness.
Some of these children are children in adult body,yet they dont want to be called such.

Desmond should not be apologising .
These people want to always gag what people say in public simply because they are online and want everyone to conform to their ever erratic and contrived standards.

Nigeria elders home and abroad support this movement Nigerians Youths Democratic Party (NYDP) come 2023. Give the youth opportunity to rule this country for just 4 years, if not capable to bring positive changes in the nation within the 4 years with your support just as the youths have been supportive to you all these while.



As for the youths all over Nigeria home or abroad the time is now less join hands to say no to intimidation from the old folks, say no to expensive sales of expression of interest forms by these old political parties just to frustrate the, say no to expensive sales of forms for any post.





Nigeria election is in Nigeria we can afford it if not for greed of these old folks politicians.





#NYDP say no to #100, 000000 naira for presidential form, say no to#75,000000 naira for governorship form, say no to #70,000000 for senatorship form, say no to #50,000000 for federal house of representative form, say no to #35,000000 for state house of assembly form, say no to #25, 000000 for local government chairmanship form, say no to #15,000000 for local government councilor form.

All these are old ways the old folks use to push the a way using their dubious gotten money.



#Youth less join hands to redeem our country, the time is now!
