Businesswoman’s advice to Verydarkman’s fans
Chinenye, in a Facebook post, noted that Nigerians often fail to follow up their online loyalty with physical action and cited the ‘#ENDSARS’ protest as an example.
She lamented that Nigerians’ collective memory is short and their loyalty fades, adding that she had experienced this first hand.
The businesswoman urged people who truly love Verydarkman to show up physically at EFCC’s office to express their displeasure about his arrest. She expressed optimism that the online critic would overcome his current challenge. Her Facebook post read:
“Dear Ratels,
“If you truly love VDM, your anger should be directed at the EFCC. Forget social media noise, if you care, leave whatever you’re doing and show up physically at their office.
“Nigerians are loyal online until real action is needed. Then suddenly, silence.
“Let’s be honest, is Nigeria a country you dye for?
“Remember EndSARS? Remember DJ Switch?
“Exactly! Our collective memory is short, and our loyalty fades the moment trending topics change.
“I’ve lived it firsthand. Help people, fight their battles, go the extra mile for them but the day you’re dragged? The very ones you helped will lead the charge against you.
“You’ll be shocked to your bones.
“Even those you gave money to bury their dead will be the first to write trash about you.
“So again, if you truly love VDM, don’t just tweet. Move. Go to EFCC. Let your voice be heard where it counts.
“And honestly, considering the caliber of enemies that man has, we should be thankful it’s EFCC and not unknown gunnnmen.
“When you fight corruption in Nigeria, you don’t get warnings, you simply disappear without a trace.
“This time, there’s a trace. That means there’s a chance. A chance to fight back legally.
“VDM will rise. He’s built for this. And by God’s grace, he’ll survive this storm again.”
A businesswoman says people who really love Verydarkman should storm EFCC’s office.
