■ It is one thing to blow the whistle on what you know is true, it is another thing to defame and ruin another person's reputation in the hope that some truths will come out.

Ogbeni, let him — VDM— handle his personal issue by himself while you instead focus on the major one that should concern you... the fact that crimes were committed and institutions in your country helped hide them.

badoh:
■ Why is VDM apologizing now or you shut your fucking mouth.

Watch the video to see why he tendered an apology at that point. He isn't sorry that he reiterated that Falana's name was mentioned in the recording. Rather, VDM stated that he apologized to Falana because his name was dragged as a result of his revealing the recording and pointing out the name. Falana is in no way absolved at all by this because his name — well, his son's — was mentioned. Also, Falz has in fact confirmed that Bobrisky had reason to mention his name, so dem go call them eventually to answer for any part they played in it all.

■ Wisdom is profitable to direct.... Thanks for engaging

Giving your recent vomit, I doubt you could recognize wisdom from even just a few inches from your face.

Again, all of you for Nigeria will eventually meet your end at some point. A good number will do so at the hands of the Nigerian situation. Yes, Corruption kills more people than would normally not have needed to die, and many of those who it does kill never get the chance to get their voices heard; many even believed that keeping quiet would keep them alive but unfortunately that rarely works out to be the case. Meaning that when it comes to Nigeria, silence IS NOT golden. So, what benefit was there for VDM to have gained from keeping silent on this issue?

Sapasenator:
■ You do have some underlying, unresolved issues my dear and I will advise you to kindly seek help from a professional.

Look who's talking for Pete's sake! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sapasenator:
■The topic is about VDM,
■are you having some attention deficit issues?

No, he ain't the topic here and he ain't the issue at all. He is merely a person who revealed an issue that many Nigerians were not even aware before now of.

2. Your hyperfocus on the character of VDM is instead the clear evidence for ADHD here.

Voltron007:
You talk too much. Shut up. 🫤

Shoo fly, don't bother me!

Sapasenator:
■ Someone who chasses clout 80% of the time for attention is to be taken seriously right?

↪ Did VDM ask you or anyone to take him seriously? NO!
↪ Did VDM doctor up the voice recording or something? NO, since the one who in fact recorded it has confirmed that he did give it to VDM.
↪ Did VDM partake in the crime that was revealed on the recording? NO!

So, why are you hyperfocused on VDM abeg! Na jealousy abi wetin we go call this one?

Julius1995:
Or maybe you are just naturally not serious. Fisayo Soyombo literally went undercover into prison for many days, and reported his findings in a detailed journalistic articles supported by very clear evidences, all that did not expose you to prison authority crimes and corruption, it is baseless cho cho cho that the clout-chaser had ended up apologising that is expising you to it.

What the heck are you on about?

I created a thread of Fisayo's report on Nairaland not long ago, and not many were moved by it. It took VDM's doing— his Chochocho — to get the Nation all riled up about the issue. Are you pissed that it took a cloutchaser's reveal and not a journalist's to get people finally focused on a problem that has been around for many decades? Do you somehow feel that VDM bringing attention to the issue somehow takes away attention from journalists? Is that it?

Even Fisayo who did the reveal is himself trying to use the opportunity to get people focused on the issue for longer. To him and to most of us all that matters is that attention has finally been brought to the issue which many have been trying for years to bring attention to. So what exactly is your particular issue here? Nonsense!

iwaeda:
■ A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has again lamented the outcome of the economic policies of the President Ahmed Bola Tinubu+led administration.
Daily Trust reports that this is the third time in weeks that Igbokwe, a Lagos- based south easterner, would criticise the economic interventions of the president.
In early September, the APC chieftain had ranted about the new electricity tariff in the country urging the president to intervene.
In the Facebook post, Igbokwe had pleaded with the president to “please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria.
“It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about 7 units of AC.
“We used to buy 300 plus units for N20,0000. Yesterday we bought N20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this”, he said.

Some of these people deserve to be slapped upside the head abeg! They don't regard the suffering of other Nigerians. Na only when e begin to pain their own pockets you go hear them talk! Nonsense!

Exceed15:
All these is because somebody should sho sho sho

So nobody should have spoken up is what you mean?

SWriter:
All this people are just chasing clout and you people are falling for it

Are you serious? Crimes were committed and have been verified but to you, that is chasing of clout? Una dey alright at all?

NgeneUkwenu:
You park the committee with bribe-taking- directors within your ministry and still term it an "Independent probe"?? Clueless people.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mugu

The sad reality is many who reason as you lot do end up roadkill in that same Nigeria where your tight-lipped existence never amounted to much. Una no go protest bad treatment, una no go speak out against injustice, and una no go even raise una voice against una oppressors, yet una go die like rat for instead the same country, all for what? A really pathetic way to live and die if you ask me.

DJInfluence:
Please ask him for us. Seeing evil and saying nothing makes you complacent. Instead of addressing the issue brought to light, some are attacking the messenger.

I am telling you... Nigerians are a whole different breed of human beings to be feared.

TinubuCriminal:
■ Consider all the laws that single act has broken.
1. What were you bullied with?
You're already incarcerated so was it death they bullied you with?
2. Who bullied you?
A prison official? And if no, he/she was admitted into the prison by an official. Mention names.
3. How did you pay in prison?
It means you had access to a phone or POS device and even if someone visited you and did it on your instruction, that person is now an accessory to the crime. Mention names.
4. How were you moved out of the prison to the private facility? You passed through prison gates and officials. Mention names. Point out faces.
5. You were returned to the prison at some point and you walked out of the gates on the day of your release. Mention names involved.

Remember, he was specially incarcerated. And so, if he could easily plead that the prison folks threatened to take his special status away from him if he did not pay up. The details will go towards corroborating this too since there is no way that special status came for free.

TinubuCriminal:
■ Would have worked if it was someone else alleging the bribe paid to serve time away from jail. He said it himself so he has implicated himself unless he can prove that the audio is fake which is a long story.

Not disputing that at all. But given that all this happened while he was in custody, he could claim he was bullied into asking for bribe money.

OnionBandit:
All these because of one useless Idris that should have been left to the mercy of some hard core homos

Idris is not responsible for the corruption of your government and the various institutions it pretends to run.

BigDawsNet:
Omo this series go long A whole correctional facility has no cctv

Balistic4:
A fantastically corrupt reps is questioning a super corrupt prison controller

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

InfoGuru118:
■ The House of Representatives Investigative Panel has interrogated Michael Anugwa, Deputy Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) at Kirikiri, Lagos, regarding allegations surrounding social media influencer, Bobrisky, brought forward by popular activist, VeryDarkMan.
The interrogation follows allegations made by VeryDarkMan, claiming Bobrisky had bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to drop money laundering charges and allegedly served his six-month jail term in a private apartment instead of Kirikiri Prison.
Michael Anugwa faced intense questioning from the panel as they sought clarification on the allegations concerning Bobrisky’s imprisonment and any potential misconduct by correctional officers.
The investigation continues as the panel seeks to uncover the truth behind these serious accusations of corruption within the EFCC and NCS.

Which kain yeye reporting be this abeg? Allegations made by VDM or allegations made in a released voice recording supposed be the voice of Bobrisky?

doncartel:
Nice one from Verydarkman. Baba Falana has long paid his dues fighting for the masses since the military days.
Vdm, you wan open Baba backside for outside? Baba is now being classified with bobrisky and portable.

Na Bobrisky open mouth mention the man name. Attack Bobrisky, not VDM.

TinubuCriminal:
2. Bribery is the fresh crime if proven true. Avoiding jail time too.

Well, he could argue that he was in custody and was bullied into paying up in order to have false charges removed and stuff.

Sapasenator:
■ They are elected officials whether we like them or not. Tell me again the profession and antecedents of VDM?

No be social media personalities una dey call them again? Are you suggesting that that line of business is not considered valid or something? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CJStarz:
■ But he don apologise to Falana. He go still apologise to the rest.
■ Make una no dey ginger this guy to his demise.

According to him, he apologized because he did not expect people to have to drag the man on social media by his reveal. Why would he need to apologize to the EFCC and the Prison commission who have publicly admitted that the crimes were committed?

Again, all of you for Nigeria will eventually meet your end at some point. A good number will do so at the hands of the Nigerian situation. Yes, Corruption kills more people than would normally not have needed to die, and many of those who it does kill never get the chance to get their voices heard; many even believed that keeping quiet would keep them alive but unfortunately that rarely works out to be the case. Meaning that when it comes to Nigeria, silence IS NOT golden. So, what benefit was there for VDM to have gained from keeping silent on this issue?

TinubuCriminal:
■ He won't. They will settle up before it gets there.
■ Worst case, Bobrisky the guttermouth will return to prison make everybody rest.

Well, he didn't threaten to release the tape only if a settlement was reached. He already blew the lid on the crimes in question so he might as well go all the way at this point.

2. Bobrisky already served his time... I see no reason why he should be made to serve time for the same crime again.

CJStarz:
■ See,Oga,dis is Naija. His cho cho cho no go change anything. He better soft pedal before d big toes wey he dey step on kpai am.....and nothing go still happen because dis is Naija

Nonsense talk! Na VDM cho-cho-cho be the thing wey blow the whistle on crimes committed both by EFCC and the Prison commission. We are finally made to face an issue that has been in existence for decades as a result of his chochocho.

What exactly has your particular sealed lips done for anyone? Your silence WILL NOT stop Nigeria from happening to you and your family so what benefits do you gain from it?

omoredia:
The worst people in our society are not bad people they are the so-called good people who will see bad things happening and will find it so convenient to keep quiet. Even bad leaders will see the need to address wrongdoings when it gets exposed. We must keep talking. Kudos to VDM

They make up the vast majority of Nigerians oo!

TinubuCriminal:
■ Why are they denying it then?

Na reason why I dey ask make that VDM release the second part of the tape make we all know everything once and for all.

vowiski:
■ Na today you start to see exposure for Nigeria? Be like you never reach 18 years.. Is this as worse as what happened in Oputa Panel? Or the Diezani Alison-Madueke exposure .. Has the oil sector improved ? Look for how to make enough money
■ VDM is only increasing his publicity CV , all for money too.

I don't follow your reasoning at all.

↪ Are you somehow insinuating that the onus should lie with whistleblowers as far as improving Nigeria?
↪ Or are you suggesting that the whistleblowers are to ignore the truth because no improvement is being seen by you in any sector?

2. Yes, VDM is a social media personality and his business does not make noise to make money. Why do you somehow have a problem with him revealing the truth regarding crimes being committed in Nigeria even at that?

Mrfixitt:
■ Mind your lane dude, VDM talks too much and that's my opinion. You can cheer him to high heaven and that's your business mumu

VDM talk na reason why the entire nation is awake to the plight of Nigerians in the hands of EFCC and Prison today. Wetin your own sealed mouth don accomplish pass him cho-cho-cho? Some of you are just too mentally impacted to even realize it.
