VeryDarkMan has replied his lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, after the latter warned him to stop taking “unnecessary risks,” adding that “if anything happens to you today, Nigerians will move on by tomorrow.”
In a passionate video response, VDM said he was disappointed in Adeyanju, especially because he expected better from a fellow comrade.
“If an ordinary Nigerian had said this, I’d understand. But coming from you, Deji, it’s disappointing,” he said.
He argued that the idea of people moving on after someone’s d3ath is not unique or profound.
“Is there anyone who’s died and the world didn’t move on? Jesus Christ died, the world moved on. The Pope d!ed, the world moved on. Even a Liverpool player, Jota, died and the world still moved on. So who exactly are you?”
VDM challenged the notion that avoiding risk guarantees safety, pointing out that many Nigerians die daily from causes beyond their control.
“Am I better than people who die of cancer? Am I better than villagers who die from malaria? People d!e in their homes every day without taking any risks.”
He defended his decision to visit volatile areas like Yelwata, explaining that he uses his platform to highlight the suffering of people in neglected and rural communities.
“When I went to Yelwata, no one knew how bad things were until I got there. The media in Nigeria is controlled—they won’t show you the real story. That’s why I go there.”
Responding to the claim that he is putting himself in danger needlessly, he said:
“I’m a young man with energy, a sense of purpose, and a voice. If you think what I’m doing is unnecessary, that’s your opinion. I know why I do it.”
VDM also criticized the widely used phrase, “If you die now, you lose,” calling it a cowardly mindset.
“That line was planted by politicians to scare people from speaking out. No one is more important than the next person. We all live, and we all die. The most important thing is what you do for others while you’re here.”
He concluded by encouraging Nigerians to stop overestimating their self-importance and instead focus on meaningful impact.
“Your life is not about how long you live or how much you make. It’s about how many lives you touch.”
