On Monday October 26th,a Nigerian Doctor in the UK alleged that Nigerian actor and politician Desmond Elliot is working on a bill to regulate the use of social media.
Desmond Elliot who is a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Surulere constituency dropped a on all his social media handles to refute the claim but the Doctor did not back down...
According to him;
"My name is Desmond Elliot, I just came out of a seating in the house of assembly, and before we finished one Dr Olufunmilayo tweeted that "a Lagos State House of assembly is developing a bill to regulate and control speech on social media. Desmond Elliot is one of those pushing this, so the plan is to deny lekki massacre and then start arresting anyone"
Please I beg everyone, this is not true, it's totally unfounded. Dr Olufunmilayo why don't you even verify, ain't we going through a lot already. It's not true, no State House of assembly,. Not even one has the jurisdiction to pass bill it's not possible. It simply lies on the executive list, it's from the federal level you can't. Yes every member has the right to say something but but you can't.
And the only thing I said towards social media was to the celebrities, social media influencers, motivational speaker. I said listen you have followers, we have followers cut down on the hate narratives please, everybody is going through a lot right now.
I think the country is going through so much as it is, we are going through so much as a people. Dr Olufunmilayo please you would have just verified and confirmed. When you post things like this it commands feeling and reaction"

THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MR ELLIOTT
Desmond has missed it. It seems politic messes up one's mind, body and system.
ReplyDeleteNawa, same Desmond that used to act love films and also as poor person in movies, now care-less of what's happening.
He is an actor. What you see him act on the screen is not the real Desmond.
DeleteThat wicked politician and godson of Tinubu you are seeing in house of Assembly is the real Desmond Elliott.
Kenneth Okonkwo is another actor on screen and wicked selfish soul in reality, but God shamed him.
No wonder he was trending on Twitter. Am really enjoying twitter. The laugh no get part 2
ReplyDeleteYes I stand with Desmond Elliot, social media regulation is important so everyone will be careful what they say, not like Burna boy that’ll and then apologize later, social media posts are powerful and influencers have a lot of people listening to them, these influencers were the ones saying no soldier can shoot anyone holding a flag, they even bought flags and shared, none of them bothered to read the flag laws or the laws on protests, on the day of the lekki shootings after curfew was imposed, they were the ones posting “we pin” by 4.40pm and cheering people on with their posts. Same way Nnamdi Kanu asked people to go and kill policemen and northerners, social media needs to be regulated biko, it’ll save a lot of lives and stress, if you want to soro soke, go to channels tv or wazobia fm so we can hold you accountable when something happens, not Nnamdi Kanu tweeting from London 🙄
ReplyDeleteOga why don't you close your mouth. See what you wrote. It is people like you that don't want youth to rise up.
DeleteOyibo we copy, have you seen people advocating media ban on them or government officials advocating that.
Shame on our toilet producer Desmond
Please nobody is asking you not to display your mental disabilities out here. But in whatever you do, Get the name Burna Boy off your mention.
DeleteIn your very tiny brain, you thought we wouldn't decode who you actually are??
Las las, na Nnamdi Kanu go be the end of you, Okpo!!
You are one of the problem of social media..see how you are accusing people wrongly, doing the exact things you are blaming people for.Undemocratic demon!
DeleteYou're super dumb..
DeleteYou definitely don't know the laws on protest in a democratic government and you have no idea on what's stated in the electoral reform law.. dont be stupid this morning OK..
I won't waste my time educating you cos you cos it's obvious you're one of those paid urchins.. if you had come with a name, I would have educated you just to shame you and make everyone know how stupid and ignorant you are.. I would so enjoy doing that but I won't get that feeling with an anon..
You can continue saying rubbish..
Anyway, for those who wants to learn,
#the curfew time (hours interval) was wrong in a democratic setting..
#the government was wrong to declare it cos the protest was against them,.
#The police not the military are the ones that have jurisdiction on curfew,.
#The police are even supposed to protect protesters, but that's by the way..
#The penalty for flouting a curfew is a fine or at most community service.. not shooting and killing..
So you see, they were wrong from the get go.. and they know this.. that's why they're doing their best to find away around the fuck up
But same government would come online and say mosquitos and wall gecko swallowed money and you wouldn’t doubt the credibility of the news yes? But when the news is against the government, it’s automatically a lie.
DeleteI hate that there are some people out there who are still blaming the masses for all that’s happening. I’m even more scared of people like you than the government.
Anonymous 09:16 Desmond Elliott, is like you want to be unfortunate in life abi?
DeleteRemove Nnamdi KANU from your dirty mouth and wicked soul.
Kitikpa lashapu GI anya there.
Irikata nsi ikpulu otule n'onu.
Ozu nwuru anwu.
@Dante please you need to be educating more people..My fellow youths please download and read the Nigerian constitution I am reading it right now and my eyes are clear..There is a lady on IG who will be educating the youths every Sunday for 4 weeks to know the constitution...Cos we cannot fight what we dunno...That constitution is fantastically flawed but we still need to know more so we can effect the change in our country
DeleteYou people should stop being emotional, Nnamdi Kanu is inciting people to kill via social media and you think it’s ok? Same with Burna boy saying how can Fulani herdsmen be in phc, there is need for a regulation whether you like it or not, argue all you want and quote whatever law you like, all I know is that people have been misled by celebrities and influencers via social media posts and they can’t be held accountable because there are no regulations, it should be regulated so people will think before they post. We know that the military is wrong for killing peaceful protesters but did the protesters think the military will shoot? No they didn’t because social media told them that if you are holding a flag, no soldier will shoot you
DeletePhoenix me too I have started reading it o.
DeleteIv has enough from these people.
Wow.. Anon 09:16 please i beg you in the name of whatever you honor, don't reprocreate. Damn, what am i even saying.. You still might be too lumpish to understand why. 😥
DeleteAnonymous 0.19 without social media I am sure you would have been watching black and white tv instead of commenting on this blog. Please hide your face. The reason why the government is being careful at the moment is because Hilary, CNN, and other powerful people got involved.
Delete09:16 and 10:54 (same Anon) HOW MANY OF YOUR GOVERNMENT LEADERS HAVE YOU REGULATED AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE❓
DeleteLEADERSHIP is BY EXAMPLE❗
Start the clean up and clean-out from the head.
Don’t be silly please, do you know the meaning of regulation? Your dumb head thinks regulation means social media should be shut down, those people you mentioned don’t give a damn and can’t even help Nigeria, the government is trying to avoid war and inciting posts because people don’t think with their brain, they follow and believe whatever they see on social media, if you have a working brain you should know that the regulation is important, the content of the law is what you should be concerned about if at all
DeleteDear Dante, now that you have stated this, kindly lead another protest and when you see the army with guns, bring out your constitution and quote the law for them, you think Falz that asked the protesters to go home doesn’t know the law? Stop sitting in the comfort of your homes and inciting war through social media, you and the likes of Nnamdi Kanu, do you know how many innocent citizens lost their lives because of that silly post from Nnamdi Kanu and you lot are defending him.
DeleteThis is what happens when you don't listen or read and end up being fed with video cuts and people being quoted out of context. Go and listen to Kanu. He told his people to protest peacefully, but to retaliate if they get shot at. Anything wrong with that? Ok so police should shoot and they should turn the other cheek abi? Wike placed a bounty on someones head, and Kanu replied with double bounty on Wike's head. Anything wrong with that? And yes i'm proudly Ekiti!
DeleteLeave Nnamdi alone. Its not by force to be in SM.
DeleteYou guys are the one making Nnamdi to talk, do the right thing and see whether Nnamdi will commend or not.
this particular doctor, most of his speculations are right.
ReplyDeleteAnyone that can commission a public toilet is a fool as far as I’m concerned. He thinks we have forgotten.
Very right
DeleteYou sure say d toilet neva full?
DeleteAlways lying.. trust these people at your own peril. People that can connive to hoard noodles that is not theirs nor do they need it, how low can they not go..
ReplyDeleteWhile at it, can he also deny his video interview when he was supporting god-fatherism in EDO state.. and the nonsense constituency project he did at SURULERE for covid 19..
Ladies and gentlemen, in everything you do, please stay away from Men Without Honour ............. especially the ones that have honourable attached to their names..
Blessings
Your last paragraph 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Delete@ Dante 🥂🥂 to the last paragraph....🥂
DeleteHe doesn't know that Edo no be Lagos
DeleteDANTE, bravo for comments 1 and 2! 👌✔️💯🔥
DeleteDeny all you want Sir, It still will not change the fact that you are a big time disappointment.
ReplyDeleteI love love this our fave online doctor ehh, God bless him❤️.
Me sef love the guy gannn
DeleteThis Dr is my new crush. Desmond , shame on you!!!
ReplyDeleteThis one that's only in the house to make the numbers. Always denying things.
ReplyDeleteDesmond Elliott is a disgrace and disappointment.
ReplyDeleteAnother moron and disgrace is Kenneth Okonkwo aka Andy... God shamed him at early stage.
I'm looking Banky W with side eyes.
Desmond, abeg no fall the small respect wey i still get for you
ReplyDeleteWe know that your dream is to be Lagos Governor one day, but you don't have to toll the path to attain it
Thank you
OAP ADA
ADA, you still have respect for that efulefu?
DeleteRemain small
Deletelolzzz
OAP ADA
These people and denying are like 5&6, they will even deny themselves one day....Are they related to Peter ?
ReplyDeleteWicked Nigerian leaders are SONS OF BELIAL. They are no relations of Peter - he repented and went on to do mighty works for Christ and the kingdom of God.
DeleteThe Doctor has asked for the video. House plenary sessions are not state security meetings. Desmond should publish the video to settle the matter once and for all.
