- A young Nigerian woman made an emotional U-turn, says she wrongly judged activist, VeryDarkMan
- In a viral clip, she admitted she used to dislike him for talking too much,” but now sees him as Nigeria’s voice
- Her apology came after VDM protested with unpaid FCT teachers and school pupils in Abuja
A Nigerian lady has posted a heartfelt video apologising to controversial activist and social media figure, VeryDarkMan (VDM). She admitted that her previous dislike for him was misplaced.
In the viral clip, the young woman revealed that she never liked VDM and often criticized him for being “too loud” and “talking about things that didn’t concern him.”
But after witnessing his recent activism, especially his participation in the protest by unpaid FCT primary school teachers and pupils in Abuja, she had a change of heart.

The woman, visibly emotional, said:
“I owe VeryDarkMan an apology. I never liked the guy. I asked myself why, and I came up with reasons like he talks too much, or that a man shouldn’t talk like that or get involved in things that don’t concern him. And I felt ashamed of myself.”
She continued:
“He is actually speaking about things that concern all of us. Things affecting us. When I saw him in that school uniform, protesting with those students and teachers because they haven’t been paid, I was touched.”
Her apology wasn’t just about VDM—it also turned into a passionate rant against the Nigerian government and misplaced priorities.
“I’m sure the salaries of those FCT teachers combined are not up to what these politicians spend on nonsense. A state gave a church N30m when hospitals are in terrible condition. Why? VDM is calling out these people. He’s doing what many of us are too scared to do. And there I was, criticising him when I should have been cheering him.”

VDM reacts to Pastor Amos Isah’s arrest
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that VeryDarkMan has reacted to Pastor Amos Isah’s arrest in Abuja.
Recall that the lead pastor of Prophetic Victory Voice of Fire Ministry in Gwagwalada, Abuja, was arrested for allegedly forcefully having carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old girl behind his church, and he’s being held by the Federal Criminal Investigation Department (FCID).
The online critic shared a video where he claimed that the 14-year-old girl that Pastor Amos allegedly molested opened up about having two boyfriends that she constantly slept with. VDM then expressed surprise that such a young person would be sleeping with two people at her age.
