Court Orders VeryDarkMan to Pay Falanas N500m

The Lagos State High Court has ordered controversial social media critic Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan to pay lawyer and human rights activist Femi Falana (SAN) and his son, Folarin N500m.
This is according to a report by Punch. The court also ordered him to immediately remove all defamatory videos against Falana and his son.
The report added that the court also ordered him to pay the substantial sum of N500 million to Femi Falana and his son, Folarin, as compensation for libel, as detailed in the pre-action bundle of the judgment.
This ruling comes as part of a legal response to the allegations made by Otse, which were deemed harmful to the reputations of both Falana and his son.
The judgement was delivered by Justice M. O. Dawodu in suit no: ID/8584/GCM/2024 on Tuesday
According to him, the publications made by VeryDarkMan on his social media accounts on September 24, 2024, linking Bobrisky to Falz and his father were defamatory and injurious to their public image.
Dawodu stated, “According to the applicants (Falz and Falana), the defendant (VeryDarkMan) knew these statements (Bobrisky’s claims) were false and untrue but proceeded to publish them to injure their reputation.
 
“Furthermore, the defamatory statements are still trending on the defendant (VeryDarkMan)’s several online platforms and the injury to their reputation continues as long as the publication remains online.”

VeryDarkMan Raises ₦21.6m In 24 Hours For His New NGO

VeryDarkMan, the Nigerian activist and social critic, has announced receiving ₦21,620,780 just 24 hours after launching his NGO.

In a video circulating on social media, the Nigerian activist provided a detailed statement, expressing gratitude for the swift response to his call for support.

Upon launching the NGO, VeryDarkMan encouraged Nigerians to contribute towards his goal of overhauling the public education system with innovative solutions.

Just a day after his appeal, he confirmed the receipt of ₦21,620,780, which will help kickstart his projects.

He emphasised his commitment to transparency, pledging to expose NGOs that misuse public funds for personal gain.

VeryDarkMan also criticised the lack of accountability within many Nigerian NGOs, stating that donations are often diverted for personal enrichment.

He vowed to stand apart by making all expenditures public, setting a new benchmark for integrity and transparency in NGO operations.

Part of his statement reads: “It’s barely 24 hours since I announced my NGO, and if I tell you how much is in that account now, you won’t believe it. First of all, shout out to everyone who sent money. I saw love and support from amounts like ₦72, ₦100, ₦22, ₦500. Most of the money was from small donations—₦500, ₦300, ₦200. Even people who didn’t have much still wanted to support.”

“The biggest amounts were ₦2 million and ₦1 million. But honestly, it’s the smaller amounts that make up the majority. I got one donation with a note saying ‘I love you because you’re crazy,’ and it was just ₦100. That’s love.”

“These contributions have opened my eyes to how many NGOs are scamming people in this country. Many of them are not using the money they receive for the right purposes. But with my NGO, I’ll make sure to expose them by being fully transparent. If I spend ₦10, I’ll let the public know. This will pressure other NGOs to start doing the same.”

VeryDarkMan emphasised that his project is focused on improving public education in Nigeria.

He pointed out that public schools lack young and innovative teachers, and that his plan is to bring in new teaching methods and resources, including technology like projectors, to enhance learning.

“The educational sector, especially in public schools, is failing. There’s nothing exciting about it anymore. We need to bring in young teachers who students can look up to, and we need to introduce modern teaching methods. Education should advance with the times,” he said.

He also highlighted the importance of equipping students with practical skills, saying, “Not everyone needs to follow the traditional academic route. We should introduce vocational training early so that students can start thinking about their future careers from primary school. We need to bring back cultural events and other activities that make education fun.”

The Real Distraction Is Not DNA, Its Sam Larry, Naira Marley – VeryDarkMan Revisits Mohbad’s Case

Vincent Otse, the popular Nigerian social media critic, who is also known as VeryDarkMan, has revisited the circumstances surrounding the death of the late singer Ileriouluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.

Recall that Mohbad died on September 12 2023 under questionable circumstances and was buried the following day.

Since his passing, numerous efforts by his family, authorities, and other stakeholders to uncover the truth about his death have been unsuccessful.

In a recent reevaluation of the case, VDM released a new video asserting that justice for Mohbad remains out of reach.

VDM had earlier demanded a DNA test to be conducted, alleging Mohad’s wife Wunmi has knowledge in circumstances surrounding her husband’s death.

However, in a u-turn, he now claimed that the late singer’s former employer, Naira Marley, and his associate, Sam Larry, have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death but have not acted accordingly.

He said, “Mohbad did not get justice at the end of the day, the truth is that the main distraction was not DNA, the distraction was Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

“They themselves knows what happened to the boy, I’m telling you the truth, all of them know. Up till now nobody has brought proof that Sam Larry or Naira Marley killed the boy, they know themselves, they know what happened that day.

“But they covered it up, they were trying to settle scores on whatever Naira Marley or Sam Larry did to them.”

VDM also pointed out that while Mohbad suffered various forms of mistreatment from them, only one incident was captured in a “cropped” video that circulated online.

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.”
