Nigerians have berated Nollywood star cum Politician, Desmond Olusola Elliott, who represents the people of Surulere constituency at the Lagos State House of Assembly, for commissioning a public toilet for his constituency.

Not too young to run, not too young to run
Boom!
The very young Desmond Elliot commissions this toilet as constituency project.
Lesson: Don't give positions of authority to people based on their age. Age, whether old or young, isn't one of the characteristics of a good leader. pic.twitter.com/hVrREyL5KD

People like Desmond Elliot is the big part of the reason we doubt these new generational not too young to run politicians. They are mostly younger versions of the old ones. Man is smiling and commissioning toilet.

Very toxic, horrid and vile people on Twitter. Quick to pull others down.
Desmond Elliot didn't build the toilet..It was donated to his constituency in conjunction with the Australian high commision.
Why the eagerness to pull the man down? pic.twitter.com/4K1BjRq451
