I'm writing this to clear the air regarding a viral rumour which claims Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot prayed for Ini Edo to get pregnant.

The Facebook account which allegedly made the post was involved in a mix-up which I'm going to explain.
Details..
The celebrity Facebook fan page, 'Desmond Elliot' was created and impersonated by a blogger (whom I know).
The boy was using it to drive traffic to his blog and eventually grew the page to over one million likes before it was hijacked by another blogger who then made the pregnancy prayer post for Ini Edo, just to scoop comments, shares and page likes. The post racked over 100,000 comments with fans typing 'Amen' to seal the strange prayer.
The post reads:
“We all know actress, Ini Edo, has been married for a while now without any issue. Many of us have laughed at her, insulted her, judged her without knowing the pains she goes through indoors. She has entertained us, made us laugh and has inspired many of us. Today, let us come together and pray for her. Ini Edo, this year, 2014 will not pass you by, you will not only get pregnant, you will also give birth safe and sound. As you write AMEN to this, may God answer all your hidden prayers. Why not write amen? Your amen is so powerful, just type amen on her behalf. God bless you.”I, Kay, can confirm to you that the above post which was made on the 'now Desmond Elliot's Facebook fan page' was made by a blogger named MC Gani Rismas.
Meanwhile, actor Desmond Elliot had reported to the Facebook team about a fan page which was impersonating him.
He was then asked to provide necessary documents to prove he's the real Desmond Elliot, which he did. That was how the fan page became fully verified by Facebook's team and handed over to him.
RisMas made the above post on Facebook the morning after the Facebook Team handed the celebrity fan page to actor Desmond Elliot |
But unfortunately, the Ini Edo's post re-surfaced while he was cleaning up the messy updates made by his impersonators.
I was expecting Desmond Elliot to speak out regarding this but his silence means he doesn't know how to explain how it happened having it that he's now the verified owner of the page so I decided to help him out.
Mr Desmond, I hope you thank me later for clearing the air for you. #Lol
