Beremx: same here o! I loathe the guy with passion. Very stupid somebody . And he succeeded in inciting his gullible followers to keep attacking Wunmi, calling her olosho and demanding for DNA. Curse be upon him and his followers
Only a mentally sock person will be VDM follower. I am not an advocate to of DNA because some times nurses and doctors swap people's babies at birth.
Even if DNA was to be demanded from Wunwi, it shouldn't have been at the moment she was mourning. More so, it shouldn't have been from VDM. He is not part of the family and has not contributed anything to the family. God punished him from shifting attention from the death of Mohbad to DNA.
richie240: You guys are not wise.....children in grown bodies u are.
The average women in their air-headedness will root for anything/any agenda so long as men oppose it or so long as they feel it hurts men not knowing it's for their own good.
See them in the west now, the once supportive females are already crying as trans are taking over their territories, shattering female records, winning awards meant for women.
It has already started here too. Was it not just 2/3 weeks ago that bobrisky won the award of 'best female dressed'. Is bobrisky female??
Una never see anything.
What concern female talk and VDM insulting David? Are you high on drugs or something?
Hmmm. My love for Davido increased the day he married my sister. My hatred for this very dirty man increased the day he dragged a young widow to go and do DNA.
In the latest social media saga gripping Nigerian cyberspace, activist Verydarkblackman has firmly asserted his independence in the wake of a publicized rift with music sensation Davido.
The online discourse erupted following revelations by controversial radio presenter Daddy Freeze, who disclosed Davido’s purported disassociation from Verydarkblackman due to the activist’s outspoken nature.
Verydarkblackman swiftly responded to Davido’s alleged comments, taking to his Instastory to declare his unwavering stance on autonomy over his social media presence.
“Davido cannot tell me what to post on my platform. He doesn’t feed me, he doesn’t clothe me, he doesn’t pay my rent,” asserted Verydarkblackman, signaling a refusal to be dictated to, regardless of any past associations.
The activist’s proclamation elicited a flurry of reactions from the online community, with some labeling him as ungrateful.
One fan penned, “After Davido don invite you come Lagos, house you for one full week in the best hotel, buy you the best clothes and food still come give you money and a car. You get mind say Davido no dey feed you. Mumu man.” Another chimed in, “Na dey same Davido you have been bragging that if you want money you go call David abi na another Davido?”
In a recent courtroom drama, the spotlight once again fell on the popular crossdresser, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, as he faced charges of naira mutilation and money laundering. Despite the anticipation surrounding the case, the outcome took a surprising turn when Okuneye pleaded guilty to the charge of naira mutilation.
Adding to the intrigue, Okuneye's lawyer, during a briefing with journalists, made waves by referring to the crossdresser as a female. In a bold statement, the lawyer declared, "SHE IS GUILTY," sparking debate and speculation among observers.
The unconventional use of pronouns not only raised eyebrows but also underscored the complexities surrounding gender identity and legal proceedings. The case is adjourned till 9th of April, 2024.
The Nigeria Police Force has successfully apprehended an impostor who masqueraded as a police officer along the bustling Idoro Road in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State. The suspect, posing as a member of law enforcement, perpetrated a fraudulent act, duping an unsuspecting market woman of a staggering sum of 500,000 naira.
This brazen deception unfolded as the purported fake policewoman exploited her guise to gain the trust of the market vendor, ultimately capitalizing on the situation to swindle her of a significant amount of money. Such deceit not only undermines the trust in law enforcement but also inflicts financial harm on innocent individuals striving to make a livelihood.
Dear men, if you won't take responsibility for your action use condom.
kaludestiny10: Women are the ones that rejects condom the most. They will tell you that they want it skin to skin.
That's like 1 out of every 100 women. And that one is a married woman. No single lady will say that knowing the implications.
DeepSight: This is weird. Not a word about the mother who threw the child away, but a stern warning to men?
That wasn't a warning but a piece of valuable advice. The woman did not pluck the child. A man impregnated her.
DeepSight: Do you realize in this instance, the father may not even know that any such child exists?
A Father not knowing he has a child? Hearing this for the first time.
Lemos14: Seun mynd44 nlfpmod fergie001 I think it's high time you ban people like this on this forum oo, this particular moniker and one other Jennifer girl are always instigating gender war on this forum, you still found a way to blame the man and left the woman are you okay?
Moderators should banned me because I said people should learn to take responsibility for their actions? Well, seun you can ban me if you want know. Nairaland did not make me and cannot break me. In my post I only told people to take responsibility for their actions so I don't know when taking responsibilities became a gender war.
Roger3D: Why do you women seriously hate this guy?
Any woman that follows this guy on social media isn't a woman. Before I liked him but I began to hate him the moment he started shifting from calling out fake brands to cloust chasing.

“Nigerian Celebrities Would Offer Their 12-Year-Old Sons To Men For S*x In Exchange For US Visa” VDM
Nigerian activist Martins Vincent, widely recognized as VeryDarkBlackMan (VDM), has raised criticism against Nigerian celebrities for their failure to publicly condemn h0m0s*xuality acts within the country. VDM pointedly highlighted the prevailing fear among celebrities of being denied a US visa as the primary reason for their silence, given that obtaining an American visa is considered the ultimate achievement for Nigerian celebrities.
In his remarks, VDM went on to allege that Nigerian celebrities would not hesitate to offer their 12-year-old sons to men for s*x in exchange for an American visa. These assertions shed light on the complexities surrounding societal norms, international aspirations, and moral values within Nigeria's entertainment industry.
In a recent session with Channels TV on "National Security," Nigeria's Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, made a significant clarification. Addressing the issue of crossdressing, Adejobi firmly stated that there is no law in Nigeria criminalizing crossdressing. This statement comes as a response to ongoing discussions and concerns surrounding the rights and freedoms of individuals in the country.
Adejobi's assertion sheds light on a previously ambiguous area of law and underscores the importance of clarity in legal matters. With his statement, he offers reassurance to individuals who engage in crossdressing, affirming their right to express themselves without fear of legal repercussions.
This clarification is likely to spark further dialogue on the intersection of individual rights, societal norms, and legal frameworks in Nigeria. It also signals a step towards greater understanding and acceptance of diverse forms of expression within the country.
As debates on personal freedoms continue to evolve, Adejobi's stance provides a crucial perspective from law enforcement, emphasizing the need for laws that respect and protect the rights of all citizens, regardless of their gender identity or expression.
Wunmi really tired to stay with such a person. I think Wunmi needs to sue that Mohbad father. Giving someone an infection is a criminal offense. It's treated as attempted murder.
