In a recent online video, social media personality and anti-exploitation advocate Verydarkman clarified his role, countering the label of “activist” that many have used to describe him.
Dressed in a police-style uniform adorned with a custom “VDM” tag, he explained that his efforts are less about traditional activism and more akin to what he calls “online policing.”
His mission, he stated, is to address unfair practices, especially in the Nigerian business landscape, focusing on cases where vendors or individuals are accused of exploiting others.
Rather than championing causes in a generalized activist framework, Verydarkman emphasized his commitment to an evidence-driven approach, underscoring the importance of basing accusations solely on verified facts to ensure fairness and transparency.
Verydarkman, known for his bold online presence and confrontational style, has built a reputation as a watchdog of sorts on social media, gaining attention not only for his stance against alleged exploitation but also for past feuds with well-known Nigerian figures.
One of the most notable conflicts involved popular Nigerian socialite Bobrisky. Verydarkman and Bobrisky publicly clashed after he raised accusations about Bobrisky’s business practices, claiming they involved fraudulent activities and unfair treatment of clients.
This feud sparked a series of online exchanges that gained widespread attention, drawing lines between fans of the two personalities.
Their heated interactions highlighted the friction between Verydarkman’s mission to expose perceived misconduct and the often personal nature of his criticisms, especially when dealing with high-profile individuals.
Beyond his feud with Bobrisky, Verydarkman’s outspokenness has drawn both support and criticism from fans and other celebrities alike.
His direct approach has led to debates over his methods, with some hailing him as a necessary force to hold influencers accountable, while others question his authority or criticize his methods as overly confrontational.
Despite this polarized response, Verydarkman’s influence has grown, particularly among Nigerians seeking transparency in a digital age where online transactions and influencer marketing are increasingly prevalent.
In his recent post, he went further, encouraging his followers to support anti-corruption efforts and acknowledging the Nigeria Police Force’s work in this area.
Referring to himself as “CSP VDM of the online division,” he pledged to continue using his platform to shed light on instances of exploitation and urged the public to rally together for a fairer Nigeria.
