Nigerian social commentator Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has fired back at skit maker Adams Kehinde (Lege Miami) in a recent video, also addressing Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
This comes after their public clash in March, where Lege criticized VDM for accusing Seyi Tinubu of involvement in the controversial detention of Abubakar Isah, factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students.
VDM defended his unwavering advocacy for Isah’s release, calling out Lege for mocking his campaign efforts. He further revealed that his pressure is yielding results, disclosing that Seyi Tinubu personally reached out to Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti governor Ayodele Fayose, assuring that Isah’s detention would be reviewed.
VDM stated,
“Seyi Tinubu contacted Isaac Fayose and said the issue of Abubakar Isah will be looked into. Hopefully, he’ll be released soon.”
He further criticized the Yoruba actor for accusing him of chasing clout and seeking political connections, especially with the country’s first son.
“You said I’ve been looking for Seyi. Is he a girl? Why would I be looking for him? I don’t care about knowing politicians in this country. I’m not like you.”
VDM emphasized he doesn’t need connections to speak truth or fight for justice. Despite his online fame, he’s in debt and uninterested in wealth or material gains.
“What will Seyi Tinubu give me? A car? A house? I don’t need any of those things.”
Lastly, he strongly rebuked Lege Miami, questioning his maturity and values as a father.
“Once you clock 40, this your foolishness will be permanent — and you even have children.”
