Does speed nova's 4th mess up nekros desecrate? When i first started playing my first clan told me it does but people in my new clan says it dont. Pls clarify this for me. Ty

When cut in pieces, each limb counts as a corpse for Nekros' desecrate, butNova prevents corpses from being sliced with a slash weapon since ennemies explode when killed.

 

So if you're using Nekros' 3 with a slash weapon, then Nova's 4 is going to lower your loot.

On a side note: corpses that explode because they were killed under Nova's 4 remain desecrate-able for a few seconds even if you can't see them on screen.

From the wiki...

Know the timespan for a body to completely disintegrate:

• Grineer and Corpus corpses will disintegrate in 15 seconds.
• Infested corpses and Avalanched enemies will disintegrate in 5 seconds.
• Corpses from enemies affected with Molecular Prime or from Channeling kills will disintegrate in 3 seconds.
• Corpses from enemies affected with Miasma will disintegrate within a second.
• Enemies that do not leave bodies behind cannot be desecrated.

 

So under normal circumstances you have 15 seconds to desecrate a body but mprime reduces that to 3 seconds.  How much you think that matters is open to debate. 

EDIT - since you specifically called out ODD which is infested, the difference between the default 5 seconds and mprime's 3 seconds is not big.  In this scenario I would come down on the side of no it doesn't matter personally.
