Nigerian actor Desmond Elliot who is also a honorable member of the Lagos state house of assemble gives his reason why he does not celebrate valentine.
According to him, valentine celebration is as foreign to him as it is not in the customs and tradition of the Yoruba tribe.
He also stated that Eyo festival is not celebrated outside Nigeria that until it is celebrated, he cannot celebrate valentine.
In his own words he said;
I don’t see were people celebrate Eyo festival outside Nigeria, so me, am not into valentine. The day I see the white man celebrating Eyo festival, then me I will start.
He is simply trying to say he will never celebrate valentine because I don’t see the white’s celebrating this even in the next 50 years.
This will also be a campaign process so that the people of his constituent will vote him back saying he has love for their culture.
