Desmond Elliot, filmmaker/politician, says Nigeria will be in a better shape if the citizens show interest in elections in the same manner as Big Brother Naija.
The lawmaker representing Surulere 1 in the Lagos house of assembly said this in reference to the overwhelming victory of Efe Ejeba in the Big Brother Naija reality show.
By receiving 57.61% of the total votes, Elliot noted that Nigerians obviously voted for the housemate of their choice.
He pointed out a few pointers to note from Efe’s victory.
“We are all different in thoughts, actions and behaviour but unique in many ways. Just as they tolerated one another we also should learn to do same,” Elliot wrote.
“If we put in half as much interest and energy that we did in #bigbrothernaija2017, into those we elect into public offices (including yours truly) Naija would be a much better place being governed by our people of choice.
“Nigerians are not as illiterate as we portray ourselves to be, obvious the masses vote for EFE, many flew out of the country to witness his “coronation ” and knew exactly what they wanted and they got it.
“It pays to always be yourself at all times, never let “them” turn you to who you’re not .. bottom line if you can’t influence them, don’t join them.”
