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.

VDM Reacts To Viral Photo Linking Him To Actress Nkechi Blessing’s Alleged Pregnancy.

Controversial social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has dismissed a viral AI-made picture linking him to Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, amid speculations surrounding her alleged pregnancy.

In a post shared via his Facebook handle on Sunday, VDM described the viral photo as fake and AI-generated, insisting that it was made to tarnish his image as he has never met the actress in person.

“I will like to address this picture going viral. Fellow Nigerians, I am not the man responsible for her pregnancy if she is. I have never met her in my life, and I am sure I won’t be willing to meet her ever. Please disregard this picture because it is a fake picture to tarnish my reputation. I am certain this is AI,” he wrote.

Going further, he took a swipe at weight-loss brands, suggesting that Nkechi Blessing’s visible belly in the photo might be due to excessive use of slimming products rather than pregnancy.

“In my humble opinion, I think it is the combination of different slimming products that is in that belle,” he added.

VDM also used the opportunity to caution against misinformation and cyberbullying, calling on Nigerians to be more vigilant against false advertisement and character defamation.

“Thank you all, have a lovely Sunday and say no to false advertising in Nigeria. Protect one another. Say no to bullying too,” he concluded.

The viral photo featured VDM, a critic of the actress, wrapping his hand around Nkechi Blessing’s protruding belly.

It stirred mixed reactions online, with some metizens speculating about VDM’s relationship with the actress.

If you like, abuse me…” – Davido hits back after Verydarkman denied receiving financial support, he responds.

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has finally reacted to claims made by controversial activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), who publicly denied ever receiving any financial help from the singer.

The exchange comes on the heels of a recent online video where VDM firmly stated that contrary to popular belief, Davido never paid for his hotel or flight during their much-publicized linkup in Lagos.

This narrative Verydarkman claimed has often been used by critics to shut him down whenever he comments on matters involving the “Unavailable” crooner.

Amid the buzz, Davido, currently still on his global “5Alive Tour,” dropped a subtle yet direct now-deleted comment on Instagram under a post referencing the situation.

“VDM if u like abuse my whole life I no fit fight u,” he wrote, drawing mixed reactions online — some taking it as sarcastic, others calling it graceful restraint.

Responding swiftly, VeryDarkMan quoted the singer:

“@davido SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT. If you see am as insult, the aluta continua. Love always from my end (I no be anybody boy still)!”

Despite the online friction, VDM maintained that his intentions weren’t driven by hate, but clarity.

The back-and-forth has since stirred intense reactions across social media, with fans praising Davido’s maturity and others commending Verydarkman’s transparency.

The controversy stems from widespread assumptions that Davido funded Verydarkman’s trip to Lagos at the peak of his social media relevance in 2023.

During that period, VDM was widely seen defending Davido during his online feud with associates of Wizkid and others, fueling speculation that his loyalty may have been incentivized.
