Controversial media personality, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has launched a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), raking in ₦33 million donations in less than 24 hours.
Posting a video on his Instagram page, @verydarkblackman, on Saturday, October 12, 2024, VDM wrote in the caption that the NGO will focus on community development and equipping public schools.
While rallying support for the initiative, the social activist pledged to maintain transparency and accountability in the management of the funds.
“@davido you don ask my for my account details before @cubana_chiefpriest you have told me to ask you for help anytime. Today is that time ((to those of you in my dms asking for my account details to support me, today is the day; to the ones when I help collect money wey been wan pay me, today is the day.)
“I will be very transparent. I will post the money that was contributed online for everyone to see, and I will carry everyone along. Every money will be well accounted for. If you believe this will bring change, please support it. No amount is too small; even 5 naira is welcomed. Like I said, any amount is welcome,” he captioned the post.
In a follow-up post on Sunday, the social media maestro announced that he had received over ₦33 million in donations within 24 hours.
He also shared a screenshot of the total donations and expressed gratitude to the donors for their kind gesture.
The activist disclosed that most individuals contributed ₦500 or less, which underscored their willingness to support the cause regardless of financial constraints.
“Barely 24 hours since I announced my NGO, if I tell you how much is in that account now, you would not believe it. First of all, shout out to all the people who have sent money, shout out to the people sending money. God will bless you.
“I saw the massive love and support when I started seeing amounts like N72, N100, N22, N50, N500. To be very honest, 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. The love is massive,” wrote VeryDarkMan.
In the past weeks, the social media personality has been in the spotlight over his exposé of the alleged bribery and corruption involving transgender crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky.
