Verydarkman reacts as NYSC corps member faces threats for criticizing govt, vows to help
Social media activist Martis Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, has come to the defense of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who recently faced backlash for speaking out against the Nigerian government.
The corps member, currently serving in Lagos, went viral after posting a video lamenting the rising cost of goods and criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Shortly after, she allegedly received calls from an NYSC official, instructing her to take down the video or face consequences.
In response, VDM took to social media to express his support, stating that the corps member had done nothing wrong.
He assured her that nothing would happen to her and offered to help her secure employment if she struggled to find a job due to potential blacklisting.
“I don’t even know why you are going for the NYSC. At the end of the day no work. Instead of you to spend that time working or learn a skill. Everything the girl said in the video was all true. We’ve all turned cowards. See the price of everything. They carried this country and scattered everything. This girl, they have blacklisted you like this, you won’t get a job. But don’t worry. If the going gets tough, and you try the private sector and they don’t employ you, come, we go find work give you,“ he said in part.
