Social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has announced that he will be stepping away from all social media platforms for a while.
He said the decision comes amid claims that his content has been diverting the attention of Nigerian youths from holding the government accountable.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, VDM explained that his temporary exit is intended to give young Nigerians the space to focus more on protests and their civic responsibilities.
“Because of the allegations and accusations that it is my posts that have been distracting the Nigerian youths from holding the government accountable, I have decided to not post again on social media during this period,” he said.
HVDM challenged other influencers, celebrities, and activists to take over the space during his absence, adding, “I would expect all influencers and celebrities and activists to use this opportunity to take over let’s watch and see.”
Explaining further in Pidgin, he stressed that he would completely step back from all platforms.
“I’ve made my decision that from today I am not going to be making any post on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube everywhere.
“I am going to leave you people, I am going to give you people time. That’s why I am not going to be posting.
“All the protest you want to do, everything that you want to do to hold the government accountable, VeryDarkMan is going to be taking a back stage,” he added.
