  • VeryDarkMan Kneels in Viral Video, Urges Nigerians to Reject APC, Tinubu in 2027 Election

    Controversial social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has stirred nationwide reactions after releasing a viral video in which he knelt to urge Nigerians not to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) or President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

    The video, which has continued to circulate widely on X (formerly Twitter), shows the activist in an emotional appeal where he denies allegations of being aligned with the ruling party and insists he is speaking from a position of criticism.

    VDM’s Emotional Appeal Goes Viral

    In the nearly four-minute video, VDM is seen kneeling as he addresses Nigerians directly, urging them to reconsider their political choices ahead of the next general election.

    “I’m sure all of you have seen posts or tweets where they said I’m working for APC, but now I’m coming to beg all Nigerians not to vote for Tinubu, don’t vote for my supposed employers,” he said.

    He further urged citizens to reject financial inducements during elections, warning that such decisions could worsen insecurity and hardship in the country.

    “They’ll come and give you 5k and bags of rice but when people get kidnapped, Boko Haram would not ask for 5k or bags of rice. Use your sense, DO NOT VOTE FOR APC,” he added.

    Call for PVC Participation and Electoral Awareness

    The activist also called on Nigerians, especially residents in rural communities, to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and actively participate in the electoral process.

    He argued that voting remains a stronger form of civic engagement than protests, urging citizens to take elections seriously as a tool for change.

    VDM maintained that continued support for the current administration would worsen insecurity, economic hardship, and governance challenges across the country.

    Mixed Reactions Trail Viral Video

    The video, posted by X user @dammiedammie35, has generated thousands of engagements, including likes, reposts, and comments within hours of circulation.

    While some Nigerians praised VDM for speaking boldly and expressing public frustration, others accused him of clout-chasing or questioned the intent behind his message. Supporters of the APC also dismissed his remarks.

    The development reflects growing political tension online as conversations around the 2027 elections intensify, alongside voter registration campaigns and national debates on governance.

    Ongoing Political Context

    VDM has been consistently vocal on issues of insecurity, economic hardship, and governance in Nigeria, often clashing with political figures and government representatives over his criticisms.

    As of the time of filing this report, neither the APC nor the Presidency has issued an official response to the video.

    The clip continues to trend across social media platforms amid broader discussions on Nigeria’s political direction ahead of 2027.

  • Verydarkman Slams Tinubu Over Insecurity Response, Calls for Urgent Action

    Social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity situation, following recent comments by the president on national security concerns.

    The activist expressed frustration in a video shared online, saying Nigerians expected clear answers and actionable solutions to rising cases of kidnappings, attacks, and violent crimes across the country.

    VeryDarkMan Questions Presidential Response

    VeryDarkMan argued that the president failed to directly address the severity of insecurity during his recent remarks, instead referencing religious narratives, which he said did not reflect the urgency of the situation.

    According to him, the government appears overwhelmed by the scale of insecurity affecting different parts of the country, especially communities impacted by banditry and abductions.

    He insisted that citizens were looking for concrete steps to restore safety rather than what he described as indirect messaging.

    Concerns Over Rising Insecurity

    The activist also warned about the growing threat posed by armed groups operating in various regions, stressing the need for stronger leadership and immediate intervention.

    He said insecurity has reached a level where schoolchildren, teachers and rural communities remain vulnerable to repeated attacks, raising concerns about public trust in government protection.

    Call for Stronger Government Action

    VeryDarkMan further called for urgent and decisive action from the federal government, arguing that national security should remain a top priority.

    He claimed that failure to respond effectively could worsen the situation if not properly addressed.

    His remarks have since sparked reactions online, with supporters agreeing with his concerns while critics argue that his tone was too extreme.

    The video continues to circulate across social media as discussions around insecurity and government response intensify.

  • VDM Fires Back At Bayo Onanuga Over Arrest Call, Alleges Plot To Silence Him

    Social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has reacted strongly after presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga allegedly called for legal action against him over a viral fake voice note linked to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

    The controversy followed a statement credited to Onanuga on Wednesday, where the presidential aide reportedly demanded that VDM face the law over the circulation of an alleged fake audio involving the president.

    VDM Alleges Attempt To “Cage” Him

    In a lengthy statement shared on social media, Verydarkman accused Onanuga of deliberately spreading false information against him in a bid to create grounds to silence him.

    According to the activist, the move was allegedly driven by personal hatred and frustration over his outspoken criticism of issues affecting the country.

    “It’s been over 24 hours since the no brain Bayo Onanuga, who unfortunately is the spokesperson of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who also sadly is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, came out to spread false information about me in order to enable him have the opportunity to cage me,” he said.

    ‘Their Plan Failed’

    VDM further claimed that those allegedly behind the move believed they finally had an opportunity to bring him down, but insisted their plans failed.

    “As the ancestors will have it, their whole plan failed before their eyes,” he added.

    The activist argued that several major national issues have trended online without attracting reactions from government officials, yet attention was suddenly shifted toward him over the viral controversy.

    “When I read that tweet he made, it was obvious it came from hate. In his mind, he believes that this boy don enter hand. Time don reach,” he said.

    Controversy Over Viral Audio

    The development comes days after a manipulated audio clip allegedly linked to President Tinubu circulated widely on social media.

    Several online users had earlier claimed that the audio was AI-generated and superimposed on a previous VDM video by unknown individuals.

    The controversy has continued to generate heated reactions online, with supporters of the activist accusing government officials of targeting critics, while others insisted that fake and manipulated content should attract legal consequences.

    The incident has also renewed conversations around AI-generated misinformation, social media regulation, and political tension ahead of the 2027 general elections.

  • Deji Adeyanju Defends VDM, Faults Presidency Over Viral AI Audio Allegation

    Lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has reacted to calls by the Presidency for legal action against social critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, over a viral audio clip allegedly linked to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

    The reaction follows a statement on X by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who accused VDM of being the “conveyor and disseminator” of a fake audio recording and called for legal action.

    Onanuga Calls for Legal Action

    Onanuga described the circulation of the clip as an “egregious abuse of the social media platform,” insisting that VDM should be held accountable for spreading false content.

    The controversial footage reportedly shows an AI-generated audio layered over a video involving VDM, creating the impression of a presidential statement on the 2027 election and opposition figures, including Peter Obi.

    Adeyanju Speaks on VDM’s Behalf

    Reacting to the development, Adeyanju insisted that VDM neither created nor shared the alleged audio.

    He said verification of VDM’s official platforms would have shown he had no link to the content, adding that the accusations were made without proper fact-checking.

    Adeyanju faulted the Presidency’s reaction, describing it as premature and capable of misleading the public.

    Calls for Investigation

    The lawyer urged security agencies to investigate the origin of the manipulated audio and ensure those responsible are identified and prosecuted.

    He maintained that the incident highlights the growing threat of AI-generated misinformation in Nigeria’s digital space.

    As of press time, no formal charges have been filed against VDM.

  • VeryDarkMan Slams Bayo Onanuga Over Viral Audio Row, Says Focus Should Be on Insecurity

    Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has reacted angrily to the viral audio controversy allegedly linked to him, criticising presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga over his recent comments on the issue.

    In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan said he received multiple urgent calls during a business meeting alerting him to a post made by the presidential aide regarding the trending voice note.

    He described the reaction surrounding the audio as excessive, arguing that more urgent national issues such as insecurity and kidnappings were being ignored in the process.

    “Focus Should Be on Insecurity”

    The activist referenced recent abductions of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State, questioning the level of attention given to such incidents compared to the viral audio controversy.

    He also expressed frustration over the situation of the abducted victims, noting that their whereabouts remain unknown.

    According to him, national priorities have been misplaced amid the online controversy.

    “You Are Trying to Silence Me”

    VeryDarkMan further alleged that the backlash around the viral audio was being used as a deliberate attempt to silence him, insisting that he would not back down from speaking on national issues.

    “The amount of calls I received while in a business meeting… immediately I read the post, I clicked and listened to the video,” he said.

    He added that insecurity remains a far more serious concern than the trending audio controversy.

    He also questioned the silence of officials on the abduction of teachers and students, referencing the ongoing uncertainty surrounding their safety, particularly on Children’s Day.

    As of the time of this report, the Presidency has not issued a fresh response to VeryDarkMan’s latest remarks.

    The incident adds another layer to the ongoing debate around the viral audio, digital misinformation, and rising insecurity across parts of Nigeria.

  • Presidency Demands Legal Action Against VeryDarkMan Over Alleged AI-Generated Tinubu Audio

    The Presidency has called for legal action against social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), over an alleged AI-generated audio clip falsely linked to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

    The controversy followed the circulation of a manipulated video online containing a fake audio allegedly mimicking the President’s voice.

    Presidency Reacts To Viral AI Audio

    Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, condemned the incident in a post shared on X.

    According to him, the circulation of the clip amounted to a serious abuse of social media platforms.

    “This VDM needs to face the weight of the law for being the conveyor and disseminator of a fake audio of President Tinubu,” Onanuga wrote.

    The presidential aide accused the activist of spreading false content capable of misleading members of the public.

    How The Controversy Started

    Reports indicated that the manipulated clip originated from an earlier Instagram video shared by VDM on May 25, 2026.

    In the original video, the activist reportedly reacted to comments about his necklace while also playing an old campaign clip of President Tinubu discussing electricity issues.

    However, an unidentified individual later edited the footage and inserted an AI-generated voice designed to sound like the President.

    The doctored version falsely suggested that Tinubu made controversial political comments regarding the 2027 election, insecurity and opposition figures.

    Fact-Checkers Debunk Viral Audio

    Several media organisations and fact-checking platforms reportedly confirmed that the viral audio was manipulated using artificial intelligence tools.

    The reports stated that the controversial statements were absent from VDM’s original upload.

    The fake audio allegedly contained claims about Tinubu remaining in office beyond opposition efforts, references to insecurity in parts of the country and comments involving former presidential candidate Peter Obi.

    VDM’s Lawyers Deny Involvement

    VDM’s legal representatives, Deji Adeyanju & Partners, denied allegations linking their client to the fabricated audio.

    The legal team accused the Presidency of allegedly reacting without proper verification and maintained that the activist neither created nor distributed the manipulated version.

    The controversy has since triggered debates online about misinformation, political propaganda and the growing use of AI-generated deepfakes in Nigeria’s digital space ahead of the 2027 elections.

    As of Wednesday, no official criminal charge had been publicly filed against the activist.

  • King Mitchy Begs Tinubu to Tackle Insecurity, Fires Back at VeryDarkMan

    In a viral video shared online, King Mitchy emotionally called on the President to take stronger action against killings, kidnappings, and attacks affecting different parts of the country.

    King Mitchy Speaks on Insecurity

    Addressing President Tinubu directly, the influencer said she believed the President meant well for Nigerians but urged him to intensify efforts toward restoring security nationwide.

    “Even though I am afraid to say this, I need to speak honestly, sir. I truly believe you do not want bad for Nigerians,” she said.

    “You are an elderly man. I do not believe you look at this country and want to destroy it. But please, do something about the insecurity.”

    She referenced recent attacks and abductions reported in states including Oyo, Borno, and Kwara, stressing that ordinary Nigerians were living in fear.

    The video quickly circulated across social media platforms, with many users praising her for speaking openly on national issues.

    VeryDarkMan Reacts

    The situation later escalated after social media activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, reacted to the video with a mocking comment.

    VeryDarkMan reportedly wrote “Crack” under posts linked to the video, a comment many interpreted as dismissive.

    King Mitchy responded angrily during a TikTok live session, accusing the activist of trying to silence her voice and undermine her efforts.

    “Do you want to spoil my life? Do you want to be the only person speaking for Nigerians?” she reportedly said during the livestream.

    She also described VeryDarkMan as “mad” while defending her right to express concerns about the country.

    Longstanding Online Rivalry

    The latest confrontation adds to the ongoing feud between both influencers, which has continued for months over issues involving philanthropy, public donations, and alleged political affiliations.

    VeryDarkMan had previously criticised some of King Mitchy’s charity activities and questioned reported links between the influencer and Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

    Supporters of King Mitchy praised her calm but bold message to the government, while critics argued that her comments toward the President were too mild considering the country’s security situation.

    The exchange has continued trending online as Nigerians debate insecurity, activism, and the role of influencers in holding leaders accountable.

    Israel DMW Responds

    Reacting through a series of posts shared on Instagram, Israel DMW dismissed the allegations and insisted that his current childless status was a personal decision rather than a medical issue.

    “I just saw a post where Phyna said I wanted to sleep with her and she has chat evidence. I would like to see the evidence,” he said.

    “What if I told Phyna that I wanted to sleep with her, is there any problem with that? We are adults. Telling her means I am seeking consent. Thank God she is not underaged. We are both not married, so what is the problem? Even though I never told her that,” he added.

    VeryDarkMan also disclosed during the video that he had previously made advances toward reality TV personality Tolanibaj.
