Opeyemi Aiyeola Kicks Against People Aligning With Political Views Of Celebrities
UK-based Nigerian actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola has admonished her fellow countrymen to be more pragmatic while making decisions ahead of the coming 2023 gubernatorial election.
In a video that surfaced on the social media account of the news platform, Gistlover, the actress stated that Nigerians should be careful with the information they receive from their favourite celebrities.
Speaking, Opeyemi Aiyeola mentioned that most renowned celebrities possess dual passports, meaning they have the propensity to leave Nigeria should things not go their way, meanwhile, the average Nigerian citizen probably has nowhere to go.
She had this to say, “Celebrities who tell citizens to come out and vote, and also do other things are citizens of other Western countries or are planning to be citizens of other countries”

Meanwhile, Nigerian actor and politician, Desmond Elliot has issues an apology to Nigerian youths.
The Lagos lawmaker representing the Surulere I constituency at the State legislature was dragged on social media after referring to Nigerian youths who reacted to the shootings at the Lekki Tollgate as children in 2020. He had pushed for the regulation of social media after the protest.
The lawmaker, during his recent interview on TVC’s ‘Your View’, offered clarity on the matter, insisting he wasn’t referring to all youths on social media as children but those who were cursing Lagos House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru.
He said:
What I can say is, I think forgiveness is divine. I mean, no one owns it all. Something can be your truth, and to another person, it might not be. I do not think going back to bring out those sensitive moments would do anything.
I think at the end of the day, I apologised, and I’m still apologising to those who must have misconstrued what I said. I said I was taken by emotions, but in the end, it still didn’t take away from the fact that the hatred was too much. The polity, the hatred is too much. We are all built on love. We can change things through love.
