Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has addressed the recent controversy surrounding the claim that N180 million went missing from his NGO account. In a video posted on social media, VDM revealed that no funds were actually missing and that the whole situation was part of a stunt.
The social activist explained that his goal was to send a message. He wanted to show that “80% of the people on social media are dumb” and easily believe misleading information. He assured his followers that the donations to his NGO are safe and still in place.
VDM’s stunt serves as a reminder about the dangers of misinformation online and how easily people can be deceived by social media claims. His message encourages people to be more cautious and critical of what they read and share on the internet.
’80% of the people that use social media are dumb and the whole thing that happened with the N180 million is a clear opportunity to show you. I deliberately did it to just show you people that you are stupid. No money is missing, my money is secured. The way people are so excited about bad is really sad. I told my website guy, shut the website, let us use this people catch cruise. Nobody bothered to ask for evidence. They just went with what is being said. I am so happy I did this.” he said
