“Tinubu, Dangote Group failed Phyna’s late sister” — Verydarkman

Nigerian activist and social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, has condemned individuals and institutions he believes failed Phyna’s sister, Ruth Otabor, who died weeks after an accident involving a Dangote truck.

Ruth’s death was confirmed on Sunday by Eko Solicitors & Advocates on behalf of the Otabor family. Her passing came after weeks of treatment for severe injuries sustained in a road accident involving Dangote’s truck near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State.

Reacting to the tragedy, Verydarkman faulted President Bola Tinubu, the Dangote Group, and Nigerians with social media influence, accusing them of failing to rally support when Ruth was still alive and in desperate need of advanced medical care.

In a strongly worded video, he said:
“Phyna’s sister has finally kpai, a lot of people are lending their voices to the RIP but when we needed those voices to pressure Dangote to do the right thing, 19 days was what she spent at the hospital but many refused to post because it won’t give them engagement. You bunch are hypocrites, may God forgive your souls. Nigeria has failed us. President Bola Tinubu, you have failed us all. And to Dangote Group, are you happy now? You had the time to take that girl abroad to treat her.”

His remarks came hours after the Dangote Group issued a condolence statement, expressing sadness over Ruth’s death and insisting that the company and its insurance partners had been covering all medical and financial costs since the accident.

The conglomerate further noted that arrangements had already been made to fly Ruth to India for advanced treatment, pending her doctors’ medical clearance. Unfortunately, she passed away before the process could be finalised.

BREAKING: BBNaija Star, Phyna’s Sister Ruth Otabor Who Was Hit By Dangote Truck, Has D!ed

Ruth Otabor, the sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna, has tragically d!ed.

She passed away following a tragic accident involving a Dangote truck near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State.

The incident occurred on August 13, 2025, just six days after Ruth graduated from the polytechnic, and resulted in the amputation of her leg.

According to eyewitnesses, the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before it was eventually stopped by a bystander.

Phyna had been demanding justice for her sister, accusing the company of negligence and vowing not to let the matter be swept under the carpet.

Dangote Group had accepted responsibility for the incident, promising comprehensive medical care and appropriate compensation to Ruth’s family.

However, Phyna expressed outrage after the company’s staff posted photos of her injured sister online without permission.

Ruth’s passing has sparked an outpouring of emotions, with fans and fellow celebrities mourning her loss and calling for justice.

The family has requested privacy as they mourn and will communicate funeral arrangements in due course.

“The family is presently grieving and will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn the departed.

My Tears On BBNaija Not A Strategy, The Show Mentally Messes With You – Gigi Jasmine Says

Gigi Jasmine, a former BBNaija Season 10 housemate, has refuted claims that her frequent emotional outbursts in the house were part of a calculated game strategy.

The disc jockey, who was voted out alongside Victory last Sunday, explained in a post-eviction interview that her tears and reactions were entirely genuine and a direct reflection of her personality.

Gigi described the intense environment of the Big Brother house as a “pressure cooker” that takes a significant mental toll on its inhabitants.

She argued that this high-pressure situation naturally amplifies a person’s emotions, leading to more vulnerable moments.

“So it is definitely not a strategy, that is who I am. I am an emotional person, I could cry at the drop of a hat. For me, my family and friends always say that my heart is so big but like it is your greatest strength and weakness,”she said.

“For me, I got more emotional than usual in the house and the only reason was because that house is a pressure cooker. It mentally messes with you and you can be one of 29 but you still feel so lonely.

“And you are trying to make sure that you present yourself the best way forward. Even if you are trying your hardest to present yourself, you still want to be like you know what? I am human, I still have my moments. A lot of people also had their own moments in the house.”

The BBNaija season 10 edition kicked off with a two-day opening ceremony.

This year’s winner will take home a staggering N150 million — the highest grand prize in the show’s history since its debut in 2006.

You Have Been Reduced To A Misinformation Monster – Presidency Fires At Tunde Ednut

The Presidency has accused popular influencer Tunde Ednut of spreading false information about Nigeria’s security situation.

The Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, disagreed with a submission by Ednut that Nigeria is not safe.

The social media influencer had taken to his Instagram page to warn Nigerians against night movement, stating that the country is not safe. He added that claims by politicians that Nigeria is safe are nothing but lies.

However, reacting in a post via his 𝕏 account on Sunday, the presidential media aide accused Ednut of spreading fake news about the security situation in Nigeria.

Olusegun accused Ednut of posting a video from another country just to support his claim that Nigeria is not safe. The presidency cautioned that such acts are not patriotic but rather reek of desperation to get clicks and traffic to his social media page.

“Nigeria’s security apparatus is in no way close to perfection but the need to consistently chase clout while leveraging on the gullibility of an audience who rely on your page for information about the happenings around them has reduced Tunde Ednut to a misinformation monster that now needs to be checked.

“How desperate can one be to post a video from South Africa in a bid to prove to his audience that “Nigeria is not safe” when tomorrow, you will still tell the same audience that South Africa is safer than Nigeria?

“Acts like this are in no way close to the patriotism or good governance advocacy that you tend to promote, rather it reeks of desperation and need for clicks using negativity that quickly resonates with the majority of your audience,” the presidency submitted.

While noting that the fight against insecurity is an ongoing effort, the presidency highlighted some of the major achievements already recorded in the security sector, including the arrest of several high-profile terrorist leaders, the degradation of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) following the arrest of Simon Ekpa, as well as improved security on the nation’s highway.

“While no one is saying Nigeria is Eldorado as far as insecurity is concerned, we must lay bare the facts here to let Nigerians know that we are better than where we were coming from.

“Hundreds of top bandit leaders have been eliminated over the past two years while thousands of their members have been sent to their creator via the improved coordination between the military forces as now headed by NSA Ribadu.

“The dangerous Abuja-Kaduna highway has become a safer road, and no major insecurity report has been made over the past few months.

“The IPOB menace in the Southeast still exists but has reduced significantly following the arrest of commander Simon Ekpa.

“Again, this is not to say all is well but we are not where we used to be and using videos from South Africa to justify your claims of insecurity suggests that you are short of the negative content you so much desire for Nigeria to appease your sponsors,” the presidency added.

It concluded by urging Ednut and others to cease from spreading false and inciting messages, all in a bid to chase social media clout.

“Tunde Ednut needs to do better, and the truth must be pointed to him accordingly. This is all shades of wrong!” the statement concluded.
