Social media commentator Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan is facing scrutiny after claiming that ₦180 million was stolen from his NGO account in a hacking incident.
In an Instagram video shared on Friday, Otse claimed that ₦180 million had been transferred to an unknown account, leaving just ₦20 million remaining.
However, his explanation has raised doubts, with many questioning its credibility.
Expressing doubt, Dr J, tweeting as #truebenny001, asked, “Was the money in the website or the bank?”
Basito, tweeting as #Itzbasito, remarked, “VeryDarkMan said ₦180m is missing from the ₦200m donation for his NGO. See scope o, like say we be primary school students.”
Mas Dinero, tweeting as #Mas_Dinero_, expressed disbelief, saying, “₦180 million don vanish just like that? Omo, hackers or no hackers, na who get mind dey this NGO? Because this story no clear o. Money wey no be yours dey waka anyhow? Better call EFCC; this drama don pass ordinary.”
Another user, Mikay (#stephen_mikay), added, “Lol. It is not possible! Banks set limits to certain transactions. ₦180m cannot go out of a bank account at once without verbal confirmation from the signatories!”
Some critics highlighted Otse’s history of scrutinising others.
Star Girl (#lil_maamiiii) tweeted, “If it were someone else sharing this VeryDarkMan story, by now he would have set his ring light, with his dirty sachet water and black singlet, analysing God knows what. Lmaooo.”
Datoyo (#heyitzpearl) echoed the sentiment, saying, “Lol. If it were someone else, he would’ve worn a singlet, carried sachet water, set his phone, and pressed record.”
Adding humour, God, anonymously tweeting as #BRILLIANT_ARIN, said, “VeryDarkMan said they hacked and stole ₦180m from his NGO website lmao. That’s a familiar method: set camera, blow up, then begin to use foolish scope for the fools who are their stan/audience.”
In the face of backlash, some users highlighted the importance of cybersecurity.
Vincent The Therapist (#mrhighfoster) noted, “This is why cybersecurity should be taken seriously in Nigeria. When you know you have a public account receiving a large amount of money, you should enforce its security.
“Now you see why cybersecurity is in high demand all over the world. It’s to prevent issues like this from happening. It’s a very valuable skill to learn for 2025.”
The controversy continues as netizens demand further clarification on the incident, with many questioning the veracity of Otse’s account.
The Nigerian entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following reports that popular juju artist Saint Janet has passed away.
Although details surrounding the circumstances of the artist’s death remain limited at the time of filing this report, news of the passing has begun circulating on social media, with fans, colleagues, and well-wishers expressing shock and paying tribute to the late musician.
Saint Janet was widely recognized for contributions to the juju music genre and earned a loyal fan base through energetic performances and a unique musical style.
Family members and close associates have yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of death or funeral arrangements.
This is a developing story, and more details will be provided as they become available.
Nigerian musician David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said he doesn’t any of his children to pursue a career in music.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Vibe podcast, the father of six explained that the reason he won’t encourage any of his children to do music is because of his own experience.
He revealed that his second daughter, Hailey Veronica Adeleke, is already leaning towards music and has good voice but he’s skeptical about supporting her.
“I don’t want any of my children to pursue music. My second daughter [Hailey] is already leaning towards music. She is the life of the party. She behaves just like me. She actually has a good voice.
“But I know what I went through. Can you go through what I go through? Knowing what I have been through, I’m skeptical about encouraging any of my children to do music,” he said.
Davido, however, added, “But because my parents and my family eventually allowed me chase me dreams, I would never want to block any of my children from chasing their dreams. And if they are good, why not?
Nollywood star Charles Okocha and street-pop singer Portable are scheduled to face each other in a celebrity boxing rematch on Friday at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The contest, tagged “Unfinished Business,” follows their earlier bout, which Okocha claimed was unfairly decided in Portable’s favour.
The pair have intensified their rivalry in the build-up to the fight, exchanging words during several face-offs, including the final weigh-in held earlier this week.
After multiple face-offs, including the final weigh-in held this week, both fighters traded fresh words ahead of the contest, with tempers flaring on both sides.
“I will be going against Portable, and it is going to be chaos. I promise, kill or be killed in that fight. It is not by noise and posturing. We will see in the ring,” Okocha said.
He added that he had gone into training camp not solely because of Portable, saying, “I do not need to train to meet Portable, but I went to train to prepare for some fights ahead of me as well because Portable is removable.”
Portable, known for his theatrics, lived up to his reputation at the events, knocking over a table as he taunted Okocha and repeated the boasts he had made ahead of his previous bouts.
“You that I have beaten before, I will break your bones. Fight is coming,” Portable said, insisting he remained the better fighter and would prove it once again inside the ring.
The build-up to the fight, according to the organisers, has generated more than two billion video views and 4.2 billion digital impressions across previous editions of the franchise, helping to raise the profile of Nigerian boxing.
The promoter of the event, Dr Ezekiel Adamu, described the fight as unfinished business between the pair, noting that Okocha had activated his rematch clause after feeling he was previously denied a fair platform and that Portable had accepted the challenge.
Adamu said the card would also feature an influencer bout between Mr Real and Idowest, who have long disputed ownership of the term “Legbègbe” on social media, as well as a professional clash between Yusuf Adeniji and Rilwan Lawal.
Adeniji, who said he had spent more than three months in camp, warned Lawal to prepare for a difficult night, while Lawal dismissed the threat and insisted he would emerge victorious.
Adamu said EV Automobiles had committed two brand-new electric vehicles as winners’ prizes, one each for the Portable-Okocha and Mr Real-Idowest bouts, while Bet9ja had joined as one of the event’s headline sponsors alongside EV Automobiles.
