Mr Desmond Elliot, Nigerian Nollywood actor and a politician said that godfatherism brought him to this level he is at the moment which is the truth. Such system should be discouraged completely because it has contributed to the reason children of the less privilege who may be very intelligent but have no godfathers to push them up would remain at the lowest level. Even if their intelligence would make an impact in the country (Nigeria) if given the opportunity to lead, still no one would listen to them or take them serious because of their background, hence such horrible system should be eradicated completely in Nigeria. Again, godfatherism has negatively affected almost every area of development in Nigeria, meaning that if you do not know or have someone at the top, all your dreams may not materialized no matter how good or intelligent you may be which is the truth. Look at Edo state today, it is that same godfatherism which governor Godwin Obaseki is trying to end that has put him in a tight corner at the moment. That is why we (Viewers Corner News team) shall continue to support him whether he wins the Edo state governorship election or not come 19 September 2020, but having the boldness to speak out against godfatherism, he has earned himself greatness in Edo state politics which is the truth, take it or leave it. Viewers Corner News team would plead with those godfathers in Nigeria to let go of this terrible system so that the children of the less privilege who have leadership capabilities can come up with their talents and work for the betterment of the country (Nigeria).
