VeryDarkMan storms Auchi, blocks Dangote trucks over unpaid medical bills of accident victim

Social activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), on Monday led a protest in Auchi, Edo State, blocking Dangote trucks from plying the roads until the company takes responsibility for accident victims.

VDM, alongside students of Auchi Polytechnic, demanded justice for Ruth Otabor, sister of BBNaija winner Phyna, whose leg was amputated after she was crushed by a Dangote truck just days after her graduation.

In videos shared online, the activist was seen addressing a large crowd of students, insisting that Dangote must not only settle Ruth’s medical bills but also provide compensation for other victims of similar accidents.

The protest came on the heels of another tragic incident involving a Dangote truck.

Just a day earlier, three people lost their lives near Omega Fire Ministry, Auchi, when a Dangote truck and another vehicle rammed into a Mercedes Benz GLK.

Reacting to the incident, Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, condemned the tragedy, describing it as “an avoidable loss of lives caused by reckless driving.”

VDM, angered by the recurring crashes, vowed that Dangote trucks would not be allowed to ply Auchi roads until justice is served and adequate compensation is given to the victims.

Why I Took A Break From Acting – Bimbo Thomas

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Thomas, has revealed why she reduced her appearances in movies.

The Omo Ghetto The Saga star explained that she wanted to avoid being limited to a single type of character.

She said many producers were offering her similar roles repeatedly, which made her feel restricted.

626Blaze reports that the actress said that she is capable of playing different roles, ranging from polished characters to street-style performances, and should not be seen only in one way.

She also explained that while she can deliver lines in pidgin English, it is not her natural style of speaking since she did not grow up in that environment.

She said; “I felt they wanted to box me, they wanted to put me in a corner.

“One minute I’m speaking phonetically, the next I do ghetto and so on.

“I wasn’t born in the barracks, so pidgin isn’t my thing.”

In other news, Nollywood actress Lilian Esoro has urged people to value true friendship and avoid betrayal in the face of personal challenges or relationships.

In a post on her Instagram story, she stressed the importance of standing by friends, especially during difficult times, instead of abandoning them for selfish reasons.

626Blaze reports that she warned that while certain situations might seem comfortable at the moment, they do not always last.

Dangote Group Abandoned Student Crushed by Company’s Truck for 11 Months — VeryDarkMan

A popular social media activist and commentator, Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan has called out Dangote Group.
He alleged that Dangote group abandoned a 22-year-old lady in Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in Auchi, Edo State, after she was crushed by the company’s truck driver.
VeryDarkman stated this in a post on Instagram while sharing a video of the hospitalised victim at the hospital on Monday.
According to him, the victim, whose name was not disclosed, has been at the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital with hospital bills of over N5 million.
He noted that he joined the protest against the movement of Dangote’s truck in Auchi.
The activist demanded that all victims of Dangote’s truck should be taken care of by the firm’s management.
“On reaching the Irrua specialist teaching hospital in Auchi, Edo State, we met an abandoned victim of Dangote’s reckless unlicensed driver, a 22-year-old girl, whom was going for her project and was crushed. She has been in the hospital for 11 months with bills of over 5 million naira; Dangote has abandoned her.
 
“Let the world know that we will not be allowing any Dangote trucks today in Auchi if all victims of Dangote’s unlicensed truck drivers are not properly taken care of @dangotegroup. @aliko_dangotegcon, We can’t fight you; you are the richest man in Africa, and you command security agencies. We are only telling you to take responsibility,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Dangote Group is yet to respond to the allegation as of the time of filing this report.
This comes days after Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna Otabor called out Dangote Group after her sister, Ruth, was crushed by the company’s truck in the same Auchi area of Edo State.
But Dangote Group, three days ago in a statement, pledged to take care of all medical bills of Ruth Otabor.
The accidents involving Dangote Group’s trucks is coming at the time its refinery plans to deploy 4,000 brand-new compressed natural gas trucks for direct fuel distribution nationwide.
However, the scheme initially planned to begin on 15th August has yet to kick off.
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, has said that truck numbering is the reason Dangote Refinery failed to commence its fuel and diesel distribution scheme on Friday, August 15, 2025.
The report confirmed that Dangote Refinery had taken delivery of a number of shipments of the trucks.

Why I Transitioned From Music to Nollywood – JJC Skillz

Popular filmmaker and former musician JJC Skillz has revealed the reason why he transitioned from the music industry to Nollywood.
JJC Skillz spoke in an interview on Channels TV.
According to him, he considered that he wasn’t getting any younger and decided to transition to Nollywood.
Speaking further, he said that despite his success in the UK music scene with groups like Big Brovaz and JJC & the 419 Squad, he had to start anew in Nigeria and face gatekeeping in the film industry.
“As far back as I can remember, I have been shooting music videos for years. Even my ‘We Are Africans’ video, I shot that myself.
 
“But after doing African Gang in 2011, I realised I was getting too old for the young scene, so I knew it was time to evolve. I packed my bags and moved into Nollywood. I was very passionate about telling stories.
 
“I wouldn’t say normal life when you’re starting again. I was a JJC (newbie). I didn’t grow up with most of the filmmakers in Nigeria, so it was like, ‘You want to enter our space?’ Some doors were closed. There are gatekeepers at all levels”, he said.
JJC stated that notable individuals, such as actor Deyemi Okanlawon and filmmaker Funke Akindele, supported his journey and believed in his talent.
However, he laments the challenges of cinema ticketing in Nigeria, where filmmakers struggle to receive a fair revenue share.
He stated that the situation is dire, with cinemas taking a significant percentage of ticket sales and taxes further reducing filmmakers’ earnings.
 
“It’s a situation of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. We put in a lot of work. Sometimes, the cinemas take 70 per cent, other times 60 per cent, and after paying 22 per cent tax, we’re left with nothing. We have to make the film and also sell it because distribution companies aren’t out there selling. We are stuck in a horrible place,” he said.
The exit of streaming platforms from Nigeria has also left filmmakers uncertain about recouping their investments.
“The hope for a better day was with streaming companies, but they’ve left. So now we’re back to asking, ‘if we put our money into it, will we get it back?’ At the end of the day, it’s a business, and creativity is getting killed”, he added.
JJC Skillz emphasises the need for filmmakers to give audiences value for money and notes that the harsh business environment is stifling creativity.
 
“Nigerian filmmakers need to improve to give the people value. I’ve even had to market my film with a promise of refunds if viewers weren’t satisfied”, he said.
JJC Skillz has achieved success in Nollywood, directing notable projects like Industreet, Jenifa’s Diary, and Omo Ghetto: The Saga.
His latest film, Hakeem: Seeking Justice, features impressive action sequences and showcases his growth as a filmmaker.

#BBNaijaS10: Biggie crowns Zita new HOH, just a day after Doris’ reign

Big Brother Naija Season 10 has delivered another major twist as housemate Zita emerged as the new Head of House (HOH), just 24 hours after Doris was crowned.

The surprise move came during Monday’s HOH challenge, where Zita outperformed fellow contenders Ivatar, Denari, Isabella, and Doris to clinch the coveted position.

Following her victory, Biggie made the official announcement:
“Housemates, your new Head of House is Zita. Kindly select your house guest.”

As HOH, Zita now enjoys immunity from nominations, exclusive access to the HOH lounge, and the authority to shape house dynamics for the week. She also has the deputy privilege, giving her added influence over strategies and alliances in the House.

The twist, which saw Doris dethroned barely a day into her reign, is one of the unpredictable game-changers Big Brother has promised this season, keeping fans and housemates on edge.
