Where Is Desmond Elliot Really From?

I was watching a video recorded by Mr Adeyinka Grandson where he analysed the reason why Mr Desmond Elliot should not be regarded as a credible representative due to his alleged double standard. According to Mr Yinka, most people never knew Desmond to have come from a Yoruba parentage until now that he just added olusola to his name..(well, I did'nt know too).

What I know is Desmond has an Igbo mum and a Calabar (or Akwa Ibom) wife..He is more with the Igbos than yoruba but I wont say he is not entitle to contest. The question I have is where the hell did he keep 'Olusola' before now..

Read Yinka's Piece:


The Lagos State House of Assembly election for Surulere Constituency I, sounds like a good idea for Yoruba Youths to be able to respond to changing circumstances. Why? Take an example from the multiplier effect.

Desmond Elliott, after more than four decades of being Ibo man by consciousness and Yoruba by default, wants to represent the Yoruba people of Surulere Constituency I as Member, Lagos State House of Assembly.

He lives in Lekki, Victoria Island and aiming to contest in Surulere, which is against the Nigeria electoral law. He has an Ibo mother and married to Victoria Elliott, a non-Yoruba lady.

The trouble is, Desmond Elliott pretended to be Ibo for over four decades and for someone capable of lying about his true origin for many years has integrity issues and should not be trusted with something as big as a state representative. If he should mistakenly be elected to represent Surulere Constituency I, there is likely to be a doomed multiplier effect on the Yoruba households.

Every member of the Lagos State House of Assembly receives N10 million as salaries and allowances as well as N20 million constituency project allocation quarterly. In a year, the total income received by each ordinary member of the Lagos State House of Assembly comes to N120 million.

If Desmond Elliott is mistakenly elected to represent Surulere Constituency I, he will receive N40 million as salaries and allowances every year and for four years. He will also be entitled to another N80 million as constituency project allocation for a year and consecutively for four years.

An injection of extra N40 million income for Desmond Elliott every year as salaries will lead to more spending for his Ibo household, which will produce increased income for his mother who is Ibo and non-Yoruba in-law. The extra N40 million will afford him the power to purchase properties in choice places like Banana Island and Dubai. He will be able to afford the best school for his Ibo children and holiday anywhere in the world for his entire Ibo household.

Being an Ibo man by consciousness and Yoruba by default, his inner circle of friends would be mostly Ibo. The N80 million per year constituency project allocation would be used by most of his Ibo friends in contract allocations to themselves. The earnings made by his Ibo friends will also have multiplier effects on their various Ibo households's marginal propensity to spend. They also will be able to acquire properties in Banana Island or Dubai and be able to afford good schools for their Ibo children and holiday abroad.

Voting Desmond Elliott therefore will have 80% direct multiplier effect on Ibo households in Yorubaland and elsewhere, and 20% indirect effect on the Yoruba households within Surulere Constituency I.

However, a vote for the Yoruba PDP candidate, whose wife is also Yoruba, as well as his parents and in-law and the majority of his inner circle of friends being Yoruba will have 80% direct multiplier effect on the Yoruba households and the remaining 20% indirect effect on other Yoruba households within the Surulere Constituency I.

It will be the 'real' Yoruba PDP candidate who will have the wealth (N40 million per year) to acquire properties at Banana Island, send his Yoruba children to good schools, provide for his Yoruba wife, parents as well as his in-law and be able to travel for holidays abroad. Likewise, his Yoruba inner circle of friends will be responsible for the N80 million constituency project contracts and whatever profits they come to make will further go to increase the welfare of more Yoruba households.

If you use your vote wisely and vote the Yoruba PDP candidate instead of Ibo Desmond Elliott, you will help in no small measures to improve the living standards of several Yoruba households. The Ibos understand ethnic politics and the concept of multiplier effect, and that is the reason they will only vote for Desmond Elliott.

Let's forget about party politics. If we vote Desmond Elliott based on emotions, he will earn N40 million incomes more per year, be able to afford the best things in life, help his Ibo friends and family get by, all at the expense of other Yoruba citizens.

But if we vote a proper Yoruba citizen from the PDP as Member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Surulere Constituency I, he will earn N40 million more income per year, N160 million in four years and be able to improve his living standard, and help his family and friends and his constituency.

The English and White Americans do the same in their respective countries. Let us also ‪#‎ThinkYorubaFirst‬
