Controversial social media celebrity VeryDarkMan has officially launched his Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), which will focus on community development and the betterment of public schools. In a video posted to his Instagram account @verydarkblackman on Saturday, the activist outlined his mission to equip schools and uplift local communities. He emphasized transparency, stating that he would ensure full accountability for every donation received.
“I will be very transparent. I will post the money that was contributed online for everyone to see, and I will carry everyone along,” he promised, urging people to support the cause regardless of the amount. He also called out high-profile individuals like Nigerian musician Davido and socialite Cubana Chief Priest, stating, “@davido you don ask my for my account details before… Today is that time.”
Within just 24 hours of announcing his NGO, VeryDarkMan reported receiving over N33 million in donations. Sharing the news in a follow-up post on Sunday, he thanked his supporters, many of whom contributed small amounts, demonstrating the widespread enthusiasm for his initiative. “Barely 24 hours since I announced my NGO, if I tell you how much is in that account now, you would not believe it,” he wrote. He also expressed gratitude for the generosity of his followers, explaining that many donations were as low as N500. “Most of the money that was contributed was from N500 naira down. It means most of these people no get, but they want to support me,” he added, noting the significance of the support despite financial hardships.
The rapid response to his fundraising campaign has both impressed and drawn skepticism from his audience. While many have praised his transparency and ambition, others are closely monitoring how the funds will be used, given VeryDarkMan’s controversial past. Recently, he was embroiled in a public dispute with popular crossdresser Bobrisky over allegations of bribery and corruption, further adding to his polarizing reputation. Despite the criticisms, the overwhelming support for his NGO’s launch has solidified his position as a notable figure in the Nigerian social media landscape.
VeryDarkMan’s launch of the NGO and the public’s response to his call for donations have put him at the center of the online conversation once again. As his campaign continues, many are keen to see how he manages the funds and whether his promise of transparency will hold up in the coming weeks.
