VDM Calls Out President Tinubu Over Failed Scholarship Promises to Nigerian Students in Morocco Nigerian activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, over the deteriorating conditions some Nigerian students are reportedly facing in Morocco. The students, granted scholarships by the Nigerian government, were promised full support including a $500 monthly allowance, and were allegedly instructed not to work while studying. In a video shared online, VDM revealed that some students have suffered serious consequences due to the government’s alleged failure to deliver on these promises. He claimed that one student died while another sustained a broken leg after attempting to work secretly to survive. He also highlighted the poor state of their accommodation, where up to five students were crammed into rooms meant for one, lacking electricity and proper study facilities. VDM warned that if students continue to be neglected, they may resort to cybercrime, which could negatively impact Nigeria’s international image. He also alleged that attempts by students to reach out to influencers and media houses were met with demands for money before their stories could be shared. The activist called on the government to intervene urgently and suggested that funds meant for students may have been embezzled. VDM’s video has received praise from fans who expressed outrage at the government’s inaction and applauded his advocacy for the students’ rights. This incident underscores ongoing concerns about government accountability in managing scholarship programs and protecting Nigerian students abroad, and it adds to VDM’s history of activism, which includes previous solo protests addressing national insecurity issues.

American Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Turns Himself In to Begin Three-Month Prison Sentence for Supervised Release Violations Amid Social Media Livestream Frenzy American rapper Daniel Hernandez, professionally known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, surrendered on January 6, 2026, to begin serving a three-month federal prison sentence for multiple violations of his supervised release. The rapper reported to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, following a media-filled farewell, livestreamed by popular influencer Adin Ross, capturing his final moments as a free man. The latest sentence stems from Hernandez’s prior legal troubles, including a 2018 racketeering (RICO) conviction linked to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. In March 2025, authorities discovered cocaine and MDMA at his South Florida residence, leading to a guilty plea for drug possession. Additional violations, including an assault at a Palm Beach County mall, contributed to the prison term. This marks 6ix9ine’s second incarceration in just over a year for supervised release breaches, following a six-week prison sentence in November 2024 for unauthorized travel, missed drug tests, and positive methamphetamine tests. Ahead of surrender, 6ix9ine’s social media activity, including removing his court-ordered ankle monitor with the help of influencers, sparked widespread attention. The rapper expressed gratitude to fans, captioning his farewell post, “Thank you guys so much see you in 3 months,” as he began his roughly 90-day sentence.

Peter Obi: The Man Who Taxed Poverty in Anambra Dear Peter Obi, Thank you for your thoughts on the Tax Reform Act, which came into force yesterday, which was New Year's Day. However, it seems you have forgotten the following historical facts. While you were the Governor of Anambra, poverty increased in the state, yet you imposed new and heavy taxes on the people of Anambra. Please fact-check me: The poverty rate in Anambra was 41.4% in 2003, before you, Obi took office, and rose to 53.7% by 2009, during your governorship, a 29.7% increase. Yet, despite the rise in poverty under your watch as Governor, on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, you imposed new and heavy taxes on Anambra markets, prompting traders in the state to protest. And again, please fact-check me. When 600 traders from Eke Awka Market protested and filed an appeal against you, you insisted that they must pay your new, heavy taxes. At that, they led another protest to the Anambra State House of Assembly, barricaded it, and prevented legislative business from proceeding. And all this was happening while you, Peter, dishonestly hid your own money in tax havens, as shown in the Pandora Papers of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Therefore, I find it strange that you, who increased poverty in Anambra and also simultaneously increased taxes, are now accusing the Tinubu administration, which has added $57 billion to our economy, of taxing the poor. And just so you know, your allegations show that you haven't read the new tax laws, because in those legislations, Nigerians earning less than ₦800,000 will not be taxed. Meaning that under President Tinubu, those petty traders in Anambra that you taxed to near death would have a tax holiday. So, please, Peter, reread your post, and direct it at yourself, because it is all about you, the man who taxed poverty in Anambra! You were taxing poverty as Anambra Governor, but President Tinubu is tackling poverty as Nigeria's President. ~ Reno Omokri Gospeller.

“Nigerians Are Hypocrites” — Tacha doubles down, slams selective outrage over cyberbullying and arrests following content creator Lawrence Alabi' Reality TV star and media personality Tacha has reacted again following the online drama surrounding cyberbullying, arrests, and public humiliation, and she is not holding back. In a lengthy post on X, Tacha made it clear that she does not support bullying, cyberbullying, cyberstalking, or defamation in any form. She stressed that she has nothing against Lawrence Alabi or his wife, describing Alabi’s wife as “an amazing woman” who does not deserve daily trolling. However, Tacha turned the spotlight on what she described as Nigeria’s biggest problem online: hypocrisy. According to her, many Nigerians only call out oppression or corruption when it doesn’t benefit them or when the victim isn’t someone they like. She pointed out that she has personally taken people to court in the past without turning police stations into content factories or humiliating anyone online. “I did not make one video. I did not take one picture. Because I am not the law,” she said, explaining that she followed due process quietly. Tacha also questioned why Nigerians suddenly act shocked when popular figures use legal means, even though many influencers built their platforms off trolling, dragging, and pushing harmful agendas. She cited the backlash actress Toyin Abraham faced after arresting someone who allegedly trolled her family, noting how Nigerians quickly framed it as “oppression” simply because they don’t like her. Her final stance was clear and firm: Use the law if you must — but don’t add public humiliation to it. “You cannot do this in the UK, even with a billion pounds,” she said, urging Nigerians to be guided and consistent with their outrage. Once again, Tacha has reignited a bigger conversation about accountability, bullying culture, and selective morality on Nigerian social media.
