Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has initiated a series of public criticisms targeting various Nigerian institutions. The controversy began with Otse criticizing Pastor Arome Osayi regarding the preacher’s relocation to the United States. Otse argued that Osayi’s emphasis on religious revival over technological or industrial advancement is “detrimental to the country’s progress,” claiming such rhetoric encourages youth to rely on prayer rather than innovation. He further highlighted a contradiction in the pastor relocating to a nation built on technology after previously downplaying such advancements. This activism has since expanded to include the political and legal sectors. Otse has criticized President Bola Tinubu, alleging “growing impunity among government officials,” and has challenged the Nigerian legal profession. Legal ~~experts~~ experts, including Senior Advocate of Nigeria Ibrahim Gamdeh Adamu, have noted that while his criticisms were “hurtful,” they contain truths that necessitate introspection and potential ~~reforms within~~ reforms, such as stricter accreditation for law faculties.

He also addressed the singer Davido, stating he feels no obligation to provide the artist special treatment, sparking debate regarding the accountability of influential families and the role of celebrities in Nigerian politics.
