Odogwu And Mr Integrity Combination: Burna Boy Donates ₦150M to VDM For Hospital And Prison Victims
Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has donated $100,000 (approximately ₦145–150 million) to social activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) for humanitarian efforts.
The funds are split equally: $50,000 to settle outstanding medical bills for indigent patients in public hospitals, and $50,000 to pay fines and secure the release of inmates detained solely for inability to afford minor court imposed penalties (often as low as ₦30,000–₦300,000).
In a widely shared video, VDM displayed the cash while sitting alongside Burna Boy. Later that day, the pair visited a prison facility in Lagos, taking $50,000 in an attempt to facilitate immediate releases.
However, they were unable to free any prisoners on the spot, as the warden informed them that proper protocols must be followed.
VDM announced plans to systematically collate data on eligible fined inmates across all 36 states (and the FCT) to ensure transparent and nationwide distribution of the funds. A similar process will be used for hospital bill settlements.
