The remarks made by social activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly called VeryDarkMan (VDM), on the death of reality star Phyna’s sister led to a sharp divide among Nigerians across social media platforms, with many condemning his comments while others defended his position.

In his video, VeryDarkMan accused Phyna of “greed” for demanding financial compensation of up to one billion naira instead of prioritising urgent medical care. He also declared that he would no longer pursue his earlier vow to hold Dangote accountable over the matter.

The reaction online has been swift and polarised.

For some, the activist’s words were deeply insensitive. User @Adukeadexoxo wrote: “So you’re blaming Phyna for her sister’s death? That’s wickedness! How dare you speak on someone’s pain like it’s gossip material?”

Another critic, @Cryptobuddiee, warned about the mental toll on Phyna: “She just lost a sister. Why not wait for her to recover from the shock and then say your side? Imagine she gets fed up and unalives herself.”

Others outrightly asked him to remain silent. @Venom tweeted: “VDM should just shut up. They are still mourning the deceased, you’re here spitting sh!t.”

Similarly, @OlayinkaAj77004 noted: “Must he talk? This is not necessary at all. He should allow her grief in peace.”

But not everyone condemned him. Some users defended his bluntness, insisting that VDM was exposing uncomfortable truths.

@Affiliate_write commented: “All he’s after is for the betterment of this country and the voice of the voiceless. Some of you saying bad words about him cannot do half of what he’s doing.”

@kelvin_akproko added: “If a Nigerian doesn’t like you, no amount of good you do will make him like you. And if you speak against someone he likes, he will dislike you for life.”

Others said Phyna was wrong to push financial demands at such a critical time. @Mr_DaveChigozie argued: “Phyna no allow her follow up her sister’s health seriously. She was after getting the one billion naira compensation. Life is worth more than money but human greed doesn’t think about life.”

Another supporter, @Symplyell, backed the activist: “He’s right. She was busy chasing one billion while her sister was on life support.”

However, critics accused VeryDarkMan of seeking clout. @theeayomikun wrote: “VDM turned this issue to a personal thing. Bro is just for himself at the end of the day.”

Some went further to link his intervention to political interests. @DayGenius alleged: “Dangote don bankroll this VDM. But Nigerians are blind to it. So you won’t fight for the dead just because her sister was moving the way you don’t like. Liar.”

Others, like @Doninlagos, said he was simply addicted to being in the spotlight: “All situations don’t revolve around you. You can’t always be at the center of every situation. Shut up for once and let the family grieve.”

The debate shows no sign of slowing, with VeryDarkMan’s critics branding him “heartless” while his supporters insist he remains one of the few who challenge powerful interests.

Davido has explained the reason behind his emotional tribute during his performance at the FIFA World Cup, saying he could not remain silent while children and teachers are still missing in Nigeria.

Speaking on the gesture, the Afrobeats star said many people avoid discussing the country’s security challenges because they want to protect Nigeria’s image, but insisted that there is no image to protect when innocent children are being abducted.

> “A lot of people don’t really want to talk about what is going on in our country. Simply because they want to protect the image. But there’s no image to protect if little kids are being kidnapped,” Davido said.

The singer noted that although he was honoured to perform at the World Cup, he believed it was important to use the global stage to draw attention to the plight of the abducted pupils and teachers from Oyo State.

According to him, everyone has a unique way of making an impact, and his platform is music and live performances.

> “My power is in music and performances. These students and teachers have been missing and still haven’t been found. So yeah, I used my platform to project what’s really going on,” he added.

Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has shared her views on the role of financial compatibility in relationships and marriage.

Speaking on a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa said she believes people should date within their income bracket, arguing that significant financial differences can create challenges in relationships.

She also claimed that many men pursue relationships with women whose lifestyles exceed their financial capacity, only to later complain that women are materialistic.

She said, “I am a big believer of date within your age and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch.

“You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have. Yet, some men will still want to cheat on her with a woman they can’t afford.

“Heaven forbid you end up with a guy who hasn’t blown. The day he blows that is when you will know his true personality.

“And that scares women. Money doesn’t change people, it just reveal who the person is. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly.”
