What is Desmond Elliot’s Net Worth?

Desmond Elliot is a Nigerian director and politician who has a net worth of $10 million dollars. He was elected to serve the Surulere Constituency in the Lagos State House of Assembly on April 11, 2015, after winning an election in the national elections in Nigeria.

Childhood

Elliot was brought into the world to a Yoruba father from Olowogbowo in Lagos Island, Lagos, and an Illah native mother from Oshimili North, Delta State. His primary and secondary educations were completed at Jos’s Air Force Primary School and St. John’s College, respectively. At Lagos State University, he earned his economics degree in 2003.

Acting Career

As a specific style, he began to appear in soap operas such as Saints and Sinners, One Too Much, and Everyday People. He is one of the greatest actors in Nollywood and has starred in more than 200 movies such as Yahoo Millionaire, Atlanta, and Men Who Cheat.

His “Best Actor in a Supporting Role” portrayal in the film “Behind closed Doors” earned him consideration for an African Movie Academy Award in 2006. Three honors at the 2009 African Movie Academy Awards were given to Reloaded, which Elliot co-produced and co-directed in 2008.

He received Nigeria Entertainment Awards nominations for Best Actor in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Elliot also ran for a role as a proponent for the Face of Hope Project in 2010, where, if approved, he would work to alleviate “child illiteracy in Nigeria and Africa in general.”

A volunteer-based non-profit, apolitical, and non-religious organization, The Face of Hope Project was founded to offer hope to the despairing. He has been nominated for an African Movie Academy Award for “Best Actor in a Supporting Role” for his work in the 2014 movie “Finding Mercy” thanks to his portrayal of the character.

Political Career

In September 2014, Elliott declared that he would join the All Progressives Congress and seek the position of Lagos State House of Assembly representative. He ran for and received the Surulere Constituency in the national elections for Nigeria held on April 11, 2015.

In October 2020, during the End SARS march, Desmond faced criticism for allegedly supporting a Nigerian law that would have made using social networks a crime. When the charge initially appeared on social media, he had earlier refuted it.

In a video that has gained traction and is being circulated all over the internet, he is heard severely criticizing social media influencers and fans. Furthermore, he issued a warning that social media use could put Nigeria in danger if the government does not take action.

His comments were taken seriously by Nigerians on media platforms, which resulted in the corollary, the common pidgin slang expression “na Desmond Elliot cause am,” which corresponds to “It’s Desmond Elliot’s fault,” was coined.

Desmond Elliot is seeking re-election to a third term as the state lawmaker for Surulere Constituency 1. Although the party (APC) nominated him without resistance during his two terms in office, he will face intense competition in the national elections of 2023 as several candidates, including Honourable Barakat Bakare Akande, the current Council leader of Surulere Local Government, have proclaimed their intention to run for the ticket.

Relationship

Elliot has four kids in total with his wife. He is employed at the Globacom PR department. Desmond and Victoria Elliot celebrated their quintuple wedding anniversary on December 26, 2018.
