- The London based man took the step of cutting VeryDarkMan out of an old photo they had together, citing his dissatisfaction with the activist’s recent social media behavior.
- He highlighted the distinction between constructive criticism and derogatory remarks.
A London-based Nigerian man, Obinna Aligwekwe, has publicly announced his decision to cut ties with activist VeryDarkMan due to a recent online controversy.
The controversy stems from VeryDarkMan’s statements, which Aligwekwe deemed as crossing the line from activism into unwarranted insults.
On Facebook, Obinna Aligwekwe highlighted the importance of constructive criticism and distinguished it from derogatory remarks, emphasizing that activism should not involve verbal attacks.
He explained that speaking the truth and insulting others are two different things, and sometimes the two can be mistaken for activism.
Accompanying his statement, Aligwekwe shared an edited photo featuring himself and VeryDarkMan, with VDM visibly removed.
This decision comes after VeryDarkMan’s controversial remarks following the Chivido wedding, targeting several individuals.
Reacting to this post, one Okeke Johnbosco Udo Bros said: “Those that took pics with huspuppy are still doing well tho… I don’t see taking pics with VDM as a thing to lament about.. Cos he is actually good in his own way!”
Jimmy Owo said: “But wetin the guy do all the people posting against him? “Abi, everyone just wants to cancel him? “Coz the bad mouthing he’s accused of, is against those who also do same to him. He only extends it to those who join to dragging him. “All these so-called celebrities are the same. Na just the case of having or “stanning” your fav.”
Nma Onyegide Nwaneri said: “U suppose use blue paint…Israel used blue on yellow background..if u use red on this black and grey background…e no go bad o.”
DeReal Observar said; “U too wan use VDM trend ????????????????.”
Òlù Fé Mí said: “It was the bloggers that caused it. “The day they addressed him as activist was the day he lost it. “Like, do you know who an activist is? How did he become an activist ? What’s even the correlation here? I felt the name activist was like Valencia in Manchester United wearing the jersey number 7.”
Okereke Vivian said: “Lol. “You don Isreal am .”
