[News] People Never Believed I'm A Yoruba Man Because I Don't Act Yoruba Movies-Desmond Olushola Elliot

tutsdot.blogspot.com - Many never knew Desmond Elliot was a Yoruba man until he rolled out his campaign posters with the name Desmond Olushola Elliot which made his fans to criticize saying he is not a Yoruba man, he just included the name so that he could contest for the House of Assembly in Lagos State. The actor defended his name in a new interview with the city people Mag.



“I am from Lagos state. My father is from Olowogbowo in Lagos Island but my mother is from Delta state. I refer to myself as being a Pan-African. People don’t believe I am a Lagosian because I seldom act in Yoruba movies. And I didn’t include the Shola in my name. Then because my surname is also English, many
couldn’t differentiate which made people confused of where exactly I am from. I am very detribalised. People of my constituency know my story and know where I come from. I have always used Shola in my primary school days. I went to Air Force Primary School in Plateau and later attended St John’s College, both
in Jos. I proceeded to Lagos State University where I studied Economics and graduated in 2003″
