The NGO founded by VeryDarkMan was introduced earlier this week and is primarily concerned with enhancing public education in Nigeria and community development.

In a video he uploaded earlier on Instagram, VeryDarkMan expressed worries about the huge amount that had been transferred into the NGO’s account.

He addressed Zenith Bank in a video asking for clarification: “Please investigate my NGO account, I don’t know what is going on, hope I’m not being set up….I AM NOT INTO MONEY LAUNDERING I DO NOT DO FRAUD (FOR THE RECORD). Nigerians bare me witness I don’t know what’s up with the account,” he stated.

The social media critic clarified that he noticed an unexpected rise in the account balance, from N70 million to over N170 million, which is why he grew suspicious.

“Guys, yesterday I posted that I received N100m in my account, I did not receive alert, I did not receive anything, I just saw that the money has moved from N70m to N170m plus,” he said. “I panicked because I didn’t expect anybody to just send me N100m like that, so I felt it was a glitch or maybe they wanted to set me up, because people were sending N50, N100, N200, N500 and all that, and it’s okay for me to panic.” he stated.

Eventually, in an updated video he released on Thursday, VeryDarkMan revealed that it was Don Jazzy who sent the money to the account as he read the message Don jazzy sent him; “Morning Bro, just saw your post. Na me send N100m to support. I believe in what you are doing and trust you to be transparent as you have always been. We really need that in our country. I wish you all the best in your project and more blessings on you. E no easy.” he read.

However, Don Jazzy expressed his support for VeryDarkMan’s goal and praised his dedication to openness and community building.

Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has shared her reasons for not dating other actors in the course of her career.

The veteran disclosed that she has never dated any actors in her profession as she sees them as her brothers in the industry.

“No, I never dated any actor at any point in my career; I don’t like you people. I’ve never been attracted to an actor so to speak. All of you are my brothers, straight. It’s not about the kind of men I’m attached to; I just wasn’t attracted to people in the workplace.” she said.

Akintola clarified that although some actors have asked her out, she has never been interested in dating her colleagues since she tries to keep her private and professional lives separate.

She asked, “My frame of mind when I come to work is the frame of work of an actor who wants to be professional, so I don’t see you as dateable people, all of you. I don’t see it. We have really handsome actors but I’ve never thought of dating any one of them…honestly. It doesn’t mean they didn’t toast me though.”

She was also questioned about how she avoided controversy during her career. In response, she disclosed that she had once been the subject of some false information.

“When I first started, there was a lot of controversy and all sorts of things written about me; horrible stuff. There was a part where people were saying I don’t wear underwear. I think what it is is that news like that flies and sells so you have more traction and more people on the blog and people buying the papers. People want to read about funny things like that, it’s even better now, back then they used to cook up stories, all sorts of stories” She explained.

A Lagos State high court in Ikeja has issued a court order on Tuesday ordering social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, to remove videos that defame human rights attorney Femi Falana, SAN.

Additionally, the court ruled that he should not speak about the Falanas in the future.

This comes after Falana stated he is restraining himself from bringing a criminal complaint against VeryDarkMan’s allegations of him helping cross-dresser Bobrisky get a pardon.

Recall that on September 24, 2024, VeryDarkMan released a voice call recording in which Bobrisky described how musician Falz reached out to him while he was serving a six-month sentence in prison.

While in response to the claims, the Falanas sent a letter requesting that VeryDarkMan issue an apology within the next day.

Nigerian rapper and content creator, Speed Darlington has been freed from detention after being detained by police for defaming Burna Boy.

The content creator criticized the Grammy Award-winning artist Burna Boy, emphasizing in a video that his relationship with the arrested American music tycoon Diddy allowed him to win the Grammy.

It was later then discovered that Speed Darlington was taken into custody by the authorities following the petition filed by Burna Boy regarding his defamatory remarks.

Meanwhile, Lawyer and human rights advocate Deji Adeyanju got involved and tried to get him out of jail.

According to recent news, Speed Darlington has been granted bail and released with lawyer Deji Adeyanju helping in securing his freedom.

Folakemi Falana, entertainment lawyer and sister of rapper Falz has commented on the ongoing conflict between the rapper and social media star Verydarkman.

Early on September 27, 2024, Folakemi took to Instagram to respond to the online celebrity for his slanderous remarks that have since sparked controversy.

Remember how Verydarkman said on September 24, 2024, that Falz and his father, Femi Falana, assisted Bobrisky in dropping the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) allegations against him for money laundering

Folakemi highlighted in her post that her family remains committed to justice and integrity even in the face of accusations and controversy.

“My parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians absolutely FREE way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016 and Slide 2 is from 2022. It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.”

Folakemi expressed her displeasure with those Nigerians she believes lack critical thinking skills.

“It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption and perversion of the course of Justice and you suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for. For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you actually believe it, is what is blowing my mind…” she added.

Bobrisky claimed in the widely shared audio clip that was made public by VeryDarkMan that some unidentified Economic and Financial Crimes Commission agents took N15 million from him in exchange for dropping the money laundering accusations against him.

But Bobrisky asserted in an Instagram post on Wednesday morning that he had served his jail sentence and that he did not pay any EFCC officer to drop the money laundering accusations against him.

He also emphasised that the allegation that he was never incarcerated was false and ought to be disregarded, branding the widely circulated voice tape as fake.

“My attention has been drawn to a fake voice recording circulating on the internet that I paid EFCC 15 million naira, and that I was never in prison… I didn’t pay any EFCC money, which is a very big lie. I served my term in full, and I came out. Discard any false information.” He wrote.
