I’m not a fan of VeryDarkMan. His delivery is often abrasive, his methods unconventional, and his tone sometimes overshadows the substance. But I’m a realist and realism demands that we look beyond personality and into the core of the message.

Truly, VeryDarkMan has carved a niche for himself as a digital watchdog, calling out perceived hypocrisy, exploitation, and deceit particularly in Nigeria’s social and entertainment space. His latest outburst, though chaotic and laced with provocation, touches on issues many are too afraid to voice: the silence of influencers when it truly matters, the double standards in public discourse, and the rise of performative activism that fades as soon as the spotlight shifts. Yet, no matter how valid the message may be, tone and delivery are everything. And when you speak truth in a way that alienates the very audience you seek to awaken, your message loses its power. This is where my discomfort lies, not in the truth, but in the noise surrounding it.

Activism, especially in Nigeria, requires more than passion. It demands wisdom, discretion, and a solid understanding of the law. You can’t claim to be a voice for the people while simultaneously playing into the hands of a system eager to silence dissent. At some point, VeryDarkMan needs to pause and reflect. Not to backtrack on the truths he stands for, but to re-evaluate how he fights for them. Being loud is not the same as being effective. The goal should not be to trend, but to transform. If VeryDarkMan truly wants to be a voice for the voiceless, then he must learn that activism isn’t just about exposing wrongs, it’s also about protecting oneself so you can continue the fight. He has passion, no doubt, but without structure, guidance, and restraint, even the most powerful voices can be drowned out—or worse, silenced permanently.
