Why Davido Led Lampooning Of Desmond Elliot

Published

on

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Nollywood actor turne politician, Desmond Elliot, has again come under intense criticism on the social media, over his comments on the floor of the Lagos State House of Assembly, regarding what he viewed as the negative impacts of social media.

The lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency, during plenary session, bemoaned what he viewed as the negative impacts of social media in the wake of the violence that trailed the #EndSARS.

In the video clip that has appeared on the social media, Elliot said he was surprised to see how “Children” made use of the social media to throw curses and abuses on elders, noting that African culture is gone.

The 46-year-old lawmaker noted that the youth also have the effrontery to desecrate the Oba of Lagos palace and take away the staff of office.

“Mr Speaker, we need to address certain things, the Nigerian youth, the social media, the social influencer all of these are making the narrative that we are seeing today, except we are joking with ourselves. Social media, yet do good, has its negative impacts.

“Let me first thank you for condemning the wanton killings and carnage that happened at Lekki. When I went through the comments I couldn’t believe it, Mr Speaker, the curses, the abuses from children and I ask myself, is this Nigeria? What is going on?

“Children cursing, they even have the effrontery to enter into an Oba’s  palace, hold the Staff of Office, culture is gone. Mr Speaker, in the next five years, there will be no Nigeria, if we do not start now. The youth is not only those who do the peaceful protest, those who have looted and destroyed lives are youths as well.”

Elliot further asked social media influencers and celebrities to stop the hate narrative and understand that Nigeria belongs to everyone.

“I put it to all these celebrities out there, all the motivational speakers, this is the only country, we have, the wealthy will go. When anything happens, what is our common saying “we die here”. Please celebrities and social media influencers, stop the hatred already.”

In recent days, many Nigerians, including celebrities have used the social media as a rallying point to lend their voices against police brutality and bad governance, a development that angered the political leaders, who were at the receiving ends.

Elliot’s comments sparked outrage, as many Nigerian youth are angry that the lawmaker referred to them as “children”.

@davido tweeted: “Desmond Elliot just destroyed all the precious childhood memories he gave us in movies ….”

@UnclePamilerin tweeted: “Desmond Elliot called us children ?? na surulere people I blame.”

@realsheddyking tweeted: “Desmond Elliot calling us children will forever be funny to me Even legends in Nollywood like Aki and pawpaw, Clem ohameze, Mr IBU, Pete Edochie, Sam Dede, Segun Arinze and the likes are yet to call us children True true, until you give a man power, you don’t know who he is.”

@gimbakakanda tweeted: “Please, who exactly was Desmond Elliot referring to as kids? We can take this disrespect from grandpas in power, not from some uninspiring actor in our age bracket.”

@ogujohnugo tweeted: “Desmond elliot wey be say Na only bucket of water he buy take use as hand sanitizer for him area during COVID wants to tell us how to use Social Media.”

@BiyiThePlug tweeted: “Desmond Elliot wey join politics yesterday dey call us children, just imagine.”

Evangelist Kesiena Esiri, a prominent figure in The Remnant Christian Network (RCN), has voiced concern over the mockery Christianity faces due to the antics of Pastor Chukwuemeka Odumeje, also known as the Abido Shaker, Indaboski Bahose, and Liquid Metal.

Esiri’s remarks stem from the widespread circulation of TikTok videos featuring Pastor Odumeje’s self-praise and unconventional preaching style, which many perceive as more comedic than doctrinally sound.

During a recent church event, Evangelist Kesiena expressed dismay over the portrayal of Christianity by Pastor Odumeje, whom he referred to as a “Clown.” He highlighted the large following attracted by the preacher and the virality of his videos.

Watch the video below;

Additionally, Evangelist Esiri criticized other pastors for their false teachings, citing instances where one labeled Jacob as a ‘Yahoo boy’ and another claimed that Satan was God’s favorite son.

GWG.ng reports that the remarks of Evangelist Esiri may be popular among some elements of the church in Nigeria many of who draw references from the bible passages that elucidate on how the love of Christ would fall in the last days. Additionally, the assertions of Evangelist Esiri would also resonate with those who draw reference to injunctions in 1 Timothy 4:1 of the multiplicity of false teachers in the last days.

Speaking in a candid interview with maverick singer, Charly Boy, Bobrisky said he didn’t envisage that crossdressing would lead him into becoming a transgender.

He said, “About nine years ago, I was at the University of Lagos studying Accounting. I also had a side hustle, I was selling unisex clothes. Most times I try the female wears on myself and I love the outfits.

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/28/why-google-blocked-5-5bn-adverts/

“From there, I moved to female hairstyles to makeup and more women were patronising my business. So I decided to keep crossdressing since it was lucrative.

“I wasn’t thinking I was going to do it for a very long time. Initially, it was just a marketing strategy but people were complimenting me that I look better as a woman than a man. That’s how I ended up being Bobrisky.”

He said he faced resistance from his parents initially but they eventually allowed him to be himself.

Published

on

In a leaked voice note conversation with controversial singer Portable, Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao offered a heartfelt apology for the uproar surrounding the ‘Best Dressed Female‘ award given to Bobrisky at the premiere of her movie.

Acknowledging the intentional nature of the act, Ajao admitted that the decision to award Bobrisky was made in a bid to generate buzz and promotion for her movie project.

Expressing remorse and nearly in tears, Ajao revealed the desperation behind her actions, citing an investment of over N200 million in her new film. She emphasized that the lack of support from other quarters led her to take such a controversial step.

“I am so sorry; the deed has been done. It was not a mistake because I am not a child. It was an intentional act; I have spent over N200M on the film. I know everybody is upset, it was because I just wanted people to talk about the movie because I was not getting help anywhere. The help I didn’t get was why I did it. I didn’t know it would escalate to this point,” she expressed.

List Of Countries With Highest Salaries In The World

Published

on

By

Max Bramwell, the founder of FounderPass, has revealed a list of countries with the highest and lowest average salaries in the world.

Bramwell named Nigeria, Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, among others as countries with the lowest average salaries globally.

Exploring the factors driving the disparities, Bramwell said: “How does your salary compare to the national average? How much could you be making if you moved to another country?

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/28/breaking-binance-executives-drag-nsa-efcc-to-court/

“From nations with some of the highest average salaries like Switzerland and Luxembourg to those with the lowest such as Tunisia and Bangladesh, examining income levels sheds light on how much a move could make you – or cost you.”

In an article, Bramwell also named the countries with the highest average salaries after-tax to include Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore, the United States, and Hong Kong.

Others include Qatar, Denmark, Australia, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, and Switzerland.

According to Bramwell: ‘Renowned for its high standard of living and strong economy, Switzerland tops the list with some of the highest average salaries globally.’ The country’s robust financial sector, advanced technology industry, and skilled workforce contribute to its prosperity and high-income levels for its citizens.

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/28/former-us-vice-presidential-nominee-joe-lieberman-is-dead/

Luxembourg
As one of the wealthiest countries in the world, Luxembourg boasts high average salaries driven by its thriving financial services sector, strategic location in Europe, and favourable tax policies. The country’s stable economy and high living standards make it an attractive destination for professionals seeking lucrative job opportunities.

Singapore
With its strategic location, efficient infrastructure, and business-friendly environment, Singapore ranks among the countries with the highest average salaries. Max explains, ‘The city-state’s diverse economy, strong emphasis on education and innovation, and well-developed financial services sector contribute to its economic success and high-income levels for its residents.’

United States
Despite wide income disparities and regional variations, the United States remains a global economic powerhouse with high average salaries in sectors such as technology, finance, and healthcare. The country’s entrepreneurial spirit, innovation culture, and diverse job market contribute to its economic prosperity and high standard of living.

Hong Kong
Max says, ‘Known for its bustling financial centre and vibrant economy, Hong Kong ranks among the top countries with high average salaries.’ The city’s strategic location, low taxes, and free-market policies attract multinational corporations and skilled professionals, driving its economic growth and high-income levels.

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/28/breaking-eniola-ajao-strips-bobrisky-of-best-dressed-female-award-names-two-females-as-winners/

He also named countries with the lowest salaries after tax to include: Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Bangladesh, Iran, Nepal

Others include: Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, is also marked by economic complexities. While the nation has made strides in economic development, issues such as poverty and unemployment persist, impacting the wages of many Sri Lankans. Despite efforts to foster growth, income disparities remain a challenge, particularly in rural areas where opportunities are limited.

Venezuela
Max explains, ‘In Venezuela, once considered one of Latin America’s wealthiest nations, political instability and hyperinflation have taken a heavy toll on the economy.’ The result has been a severe economic downturn, leading to diminished purchasing power for the workforce. As a consequence, the average salary in Venezuela has plummeted, exacerbating challenges for citizens trying to make ends meet.

Pakistan
Pakistan, with its vast potential and diverse population, faces a multitude of economic hurdles. Widespread poverty, limited job opportunities, and income inequality contribute to lower average salaries across the country. Despite efforts to spur economic growth, addressing these challenges remains a daunting task for policymakers and citizens alike.

Egypt
In Egypt, ongoing economic reforms aim to address long-standing issues of income inequality and poverty. However, despite progress in certain areas, disparities persist, particularly in rural regions. Income levels remain low for many Egyptians, highlighting the need for continued efforts to improve economic conditions and enhance livelihoods.

Nigeria
As Africa’s most populous nation and largest economy, Nigeria holds immense potential. However, economic challenges such as corruption, infrastructure deficits, and high unemployment rates hinder progress. Max explains, ‘These factors contribute to lower average salaries and living standards for many Nigerians, underscoring the need for comprehensive economic reforms and investment in human capital.’
