Smart Guy !

I gbadun this Desmond Elliot guy. To break into Nollywood, he downplayed his 'Yorubaness', not letting the Idumota movie bureaucrats know he has any affinity with the Yorubas. However, when the fine boy, no pimples, threw his hat into the ring and declared his intention to contest for Surulere 1 House of Rep, suddenly he's Desmond OLUSHOLA Elliot. Like seriously!
Well, that's politics. To play it well, you've got to learn how to use subtle strategy and outright treachery instead of coercion. You've got to learn how to seduce on a mass level and curry favours of known and established power brokers. The clumsy and the tactless have no place in politics, just the same way the wimpish cannot be enlisted in a nation's military. In short, to get a head-start and gain a foothold (in Politics), just be formless ! Yes... as formless as water !! By the way, that is the 48th law in the famous 48 Laws of Power: ASSUME FORMLESSNESS.
".....A military force has no constant formation water has no constant shape: The ability to gain victory by changing and adapting according to the opponent is called genius" ( Sun-tzu, fourth century B.C)
Oh, before i forget sef. Congratulations, Mr OLUSHOLA ELLIOT, on your victory at the primaries. Eko o ni baje !
