Some Nigerian celebrities have expressed their displeasure on the recent comments on social media bill by Desmond Elliot and they have expressed their annoyance on their Twitter feed.
The Lagos lawmaker, Desmond Elliot has been trending for days over his comment on social media which he denied but has received so much backlash after a video was revealed online showing his speaking for the bill and calling the Nigerian youths children which angered a lot of Nigerians online.
He has since apologized but many Nigerians on social media say the apology is not accepted. Reno Omokri said he was acting for his political fathers to see his loyalty.
The lawmaker has received a lot of backlash from Nigerians and celebrities like footballer John Ogu, OAP Toolz, singer Simi, Telno Dremo, Praiz, Don Jazzy, Skales, Nollywood stars like Uche Jombo, Lala Akindoju, Rita dominic and several others.

Cousin Desmond should have used the same energy to fight for us. Now he’s collecting money, we’re “children”. ????You can see it’s not about age. You can be 22 years old and wicked. “Celebrities yen yen”…they didn’t vote for celebs, they voted for you sir.

The Vilification of the Nigerian Youth – Ep.3. The Nigerian youth are so rotten, they’re cursing politicians online.?Let’s not focus on why they’re angry, but on how rude they are. ?
Like Bobrisky said ‘insort never killed anybody’. Fix up & do your job Uncle Desmond. #EndSARS— Toolz O.D (@ToolzO) October 29, 2020
You can be educated yet not enlightened. Majority of those we vote into office are obviously not the latter. Get your PVC out. Stop staying home during elections.
We must remove people who do not believe in the democratic process. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityInNigeria— Rita Dominic (@ritaUdominic) October 29, 2020
Honestly I’m more than disappointed in Desmond Elliot. I’m so shocked. Anyway, we have been praying that God should expose the real state of mind of our leaders. Now we know how he really processes things. I pray the people he looks forward to representing in 2023 remember today

The same social media they “USED” to package themselves into power.

The actor will be under a lot of pressure right now. As he has disabled his comments on his Instagram page.
I’m not surprised he gave such a speech, An adage in Yoruba states that, the sheep that flocks with dogs… https://t.co/SpQuyiOboc
