Here are what Nigerians are talking about the trending video of Desmond Elliot

If I were privileged to ask Desmond Elliot, I would ask him the reason behind his sharing of perfume and not anything else. Sharing perfume seems to be the worst of things. Anyone who criticizes it has a valid point. POLITICIANS should do better and not treat people as peasants

There is a murder spree of traditional rulers but Desmond Elliot is sharing cheap perfumes to smelly Batidiots at an APC rally.

And the fools are scampering for it.
