Why I want to go into politics —Desmond Elliot


And what do you think is the secret to keep a celebrity marriage going?Basically, it’s understanding. We must all understand that the make of a man is totally different from the make of a woman. A man must understand the priorities of a woman. Women love attention, they want to know that they are loved and there is security but for a man, all he is thinking about is money, while a woman knows that though you still need to provide for the family, she would still crave for attention. A man sees the question’ how are you as how are you’ but a woman sees how are you in three different ways. She begins to think, okay, why is he asking me how I am? At what time is he asking how are you? Did one word come before the other?
We learnt that you want to delve into politics. What experience have you to make a difference on the  state of the nation?The current situation is very pathetic. I feel God has helped me thus far  and I want to give back  through politics that  will be favourable to the youths. The worst part of our national life  is that the level of corruption has not allowed youths to understand what it means to live a meaningful life . Just because of lack of knowledge of what to do, we are being sidetracked. There are no jobs, and issues like these lead to frustration.
A whole lot needs to be done on agriculture, every state in Nigeria needs to see how it can contribute to nation building. There’s a lot that needs to be done.
What accessories can’t you do without?I think I can’t go out without a wristwatch
What’s your notion on tattoosI wouldn’t wear one, but I have no problems with anyone wearing one
In a few years , what do you want to be remembered for?It would be basically about giving back. I want to be known as a man who gave back to his society
There was this story about you dating two blood sisters, what was it about?I don’t know. It was baseless. The ladies in question are my wards and I take care of them.
Are you blood relation with them?Do I have to be related to them by blood?  We are family friends and we have been family friends for years. Their parents  are abroad  and whenever they are in Nigeria, they stay with me, so it was a baseless distraction and the person who did the article about me has since apologised.
There was also a death rumour about you last year, what happend?It was actually a movie I did, which would be released later this year. I had to get the person who did the story and asked for his reasons.
How  do you cope with negative press?I have come to understand that there is no way rumours won’t crop up. I have been in this field for the past 15years and there is no way one can be without one word or the other, people will definitely say things about you whether they are true or not.
After the hustle and bustle, how do you treat yourselfI just take a vacation and relax for a few days.
