No Comments on I’ll Cooperate To Fish Out Those Threatening You – VDM Tells Falana

Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse aka Verydarkman (VDM) has pledged to help Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana fish out individuals threatening to kill his daugher and burn down his office for threatening to sue the social activist.

In a video on Wednesday, VDM dissociated himself from the threat of harming the respected lawyer and his family.

”I want to say I am not aware and I don’t have knowledge of anyone sending threats to Femi Falana or any member of his family. Secondly, I will never be part of anybody sending any threatening messages to anyone in this country.

“What I will like to say is this: I am willing to cooperate and work with Uncle Femi to fish out whoever sent the message to him. Let the person come and answer why he or she would send something like that to him. Please, I don’t associate myself with things like that,” VDM said, adding that someone who wanted to worsen the relationship between him and Chief Falana must have been behind it.

He said he doubted if any of his genuine supporters would do such a thing and warned people to support any movement with wisdom.

He added: “I acknowledge one thing- Uncle Femi Falana is a legend for this game. It’s just unfortunate that this thing turns like this. E be like say na devil who just wan scatter scatter everything.”

He admonished his supporters to know that Femi Falana is a highly respected defender of the masses and good causes.

Chief Falana had threatened to sue VDM for defamation if he failed to publish a public apology in relevant media for which some individuals sent the threats to him and his daughter.

Falana also on Wednesday reacted to the threat in an interview with Channels by saying: “The only disturbing area in this scenario is a threat to me and one of my two daughters. Some of these guys who I believe are mentally deranged have dared me, saying if you go to court, we shall burn your office. They have also sent messages to one of my daughters that if your father goes to court we shall kill you! I beg your pardon, in this country! I just laughed and I told my girl, don’t worry I will take it up.”

No Comments on Tems Explains 2023 Oscar Outfit Choice

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi aka Tems has spoken about her choice of outfit for the 2023 Oscar Awards.

While appearing on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Jennifer asked her about the bold look and if it blocked the view of people sitting behind her.

Tems explained, “The stage was high, so it didn’t interfere with anyone’s sight.”

Tems shared that she originally planned to change her outfit once she got inside the hall.

However, her stylist couldn’t join her because she was “kidnapped” outside the venue.

With her phone dead and left on the bus, Tems had no choice but to wear the outfit into the hall.

During the show, she also performed ‘Love Me Jeje’, a song that the audience enjoyed.
