Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha, has berated actor-turned politician, Desmond Elliot over his criticism of social media.
Elliot has been subjected to heavy backlash from Nigerians after he referred to youths as children and condemned the use of social media during the plenary session of the Lagos State House of Assembly that took place on Thursday.
Joining the fray, Onuoha stated that she has lost the respect and love she had for him, adding that the politician has now lost his sense of belonging since he started eating from the “table of corruption.”
“Power does corrupt indeed. What are you talking @desmondelliot? You are not making a damn sense Shola? Because you now eat from the table of corruption, you’ve all of a sudden lost your sense of belonging?,” Georgina Onuoha asked.
“I’ve always believed that power corrupts, but I held hope high for you and could swear for your character as a man and as a person. Apparently, you are now at a place of convenience, you now think you have the audacity to talk down on the fingers that fed you and the people whose wings propelled you to where you are today?
“Not too long ago at Lagos State University, people like me were giving you transport money to catch a ride home. You forgot where you come from. Pele politician. Youths are waiting for you come next election. Oniranu jatijati.
“I expected this same level of passionate speech when the youths were being killed at Lekki tollgate. I’ve not seen your speech condemning the Nigerian Army or your Governor who lied about it!
“Just yesterday you were a nobody that everybody believed would make a change by advocating for the youths and less privileged because we all come/came from nothing to become who we are today but you’ve forgotten that.
“I’ve truly lost every atom of respect and love I have for you. What happened to you? I’m waiting for your passion regarding the untold hunger amongst Lagosians and the high unemployment amongst our youth?
“You feel differently now because you don’t know what it’s like again to go to bed hungry with zero hopes for tomorrow? Where is your outrage addressing Mr. Speaker in your parliament?? Have you forgotten Desmond?
“Don’t betray who you’re and your conscience. Power is momentary. Don’t lose your soul. You truly disappoint me.”
Georgina Onuoha didn’t stop there, in another post; she reminded the actor how his wife was the one feeding him when they just got married.
”You are not different from them Desmond. All of a sudden you have forgotten the fingers that fed you, you are biting it. You have forgotten the wing on whose wings propelled you to where you are today. Just yesterday, you and I were students. When I became a star, you were still a nobody walking about with your black handbag like a Jehovah’s witness begging for transport money at LASU gate Ojo to wherever you were going.
“It was your wife Vicky that was feeding you because a motherf**ker like you cannot put food on the table even though you were married to her,” she said.
“Now you think you have the effrontery and the audacity to say youths are like children with no respect; because they took the staff of office of the king.
“Where was your outrage when police were busy killing people at the tollgate? I want to see your anger Desmond.”
