It appears some Nigerians still haven’t moved past Desmond Elliot’s controversial remarks during the End SARS protests.
The Nollywood actor-turned-politician recently shared stylish new photos of himself in a green traditional outfit on Instagram. While many fans praised his look, one user, @iam_valasor, used the opportunity to express lingering frustration.
“I really don’t know why… But ever since that year you went and spoke against us Nigerian youths, seeing your post just dey vex vex me. No offense, but it is what it is,” the user wrote.
The comment quickly gained traction, with others echoing similar sentiments, highlighting that the pain from the End SARS period and Elliot’s infamous speech still resonates.
Desmond Elliot responded with a calm, lighthearted reply: “Ngwanu no vex. Na wa o.”
Despite his brief response, the exchange is yet another reminder of the lasting impact of public figures’ words—especially in emotionally charged times.
