Nollywood actor, Desmond Elliot is under serious attack after comments he made in parliament.
Basically, he shared with the Speaker of Parliament how culture has deteriorated in Nigeria.
Speaking on the recent #EndSARS protest, Desmond feels the violence that came with it was an indication that culture is falling apart.
He pointed to this as a negative impact of social media and it’s better the Government wakes up and put regulations in place or else things would go worse in the next 5 years.
In his submission, the much-loved actor called Nigerians partaking in the protest as children.
His comments have sparked outrage on social media.
A lot of people are of the view that he has every reason to share his opinion but the fact that he didn’t condemn how innocent protestors were shot and killed at Lekki Toll Booth shows that he’s in support of the Bad Governance that the Nigerian Youths are fighting against.
Below are some comments condemning him.
After watching Video of Desmond Elliot addressing the house, I have no other option but to conclude that corruption has taken over the man's life. He has lost every sense of dignity. Calling us Children. Can he ever give birth to some1 my age?.

I remember one movie I watched where Genevieve Nnaji refused to marry Desmond Elliot, I was pissed and sad.
Now I understand Genevieve, She knew he is wicked and an idiot.

When Patience Ozokwor poisoned Desmond Elliot for no reason in one movie I watched, I was angry, not anymore though.
Now I understand what happened, She knew him before us.
