A Nigerian man has stepped into the ongoing public feud between social media activists Martin Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), and Harrison Gwamnishu, presenting what he claims is crucial financial evidence.
The Core of the Controversy
The drama escalated after VeryDarkMan recently claimed responsibility for the arrest of Harrison Gwamnishu. VDM alleged his action was based on a ransom diversion accusation made by the family of a kidnapped couple from Edo State. In the wake of this, some social media commentators suggested that VDM's motives were driven by jealousy of his fellow activist.
However, a man identified as Charles Obinwanne Don has challenged this narrative through a detailed Facebook post. He directly questioned the logic of those accusing VDM of envy, turning the spotlight onto the financial transparency of both activists' charitable organizations.
A Call for Transparency and a Revealing Screenshot
In his post dated December 7, 2025, Charles Obinwanne Don pointedly asked why public scrutiny seemed one-sided. "Only una claim say Verydarkman is jealous of Harrison Gwamnishu but since Harrison created his own NGO he never show una the balance," he wrote.
He further highlighted an instance where music executive Don Jazzy sent funds to Gwamnishu's initiative, which was described as an "undisclosed amount." Don contrasted this with VDM's approach, whom he praised for making his NGO's transactions "transparent for everyone to see."
To bolster his argument, Charles Obinwanne Don shared a screenshot purportedly showing the account balance of VeryDarkMan's NGO. The image indicated a balance of Ten Million Naira (N10,000,000).
He concluded his defense with a strong statement of support: "Can you guys now see it that you guys are the jealous ones here! 10million of you guys can't pull VDM Down especially when people like me are supporting him."
Mixed Reactions from the Online Community
The post sparked a variety of responses from other Facebook users, reflecting the divisive nature of the issue.
One user, Faith Jeci, suggested the activists should not be compared, stating simply, "their assignments are different." Another, Udeh Praise, questioned the evidence itself, arguing that "only a bank transaction history can tell us the income and expenditure of the NGO account," implying the screenshot was insufficient.
Other reactions were more critical of both parties. Quin Gabby dismissed the online supporters as "noise makers," asking how much they had personally donated. Meek Thomas offered a cynical view, commenting, "Catfish smart pass some of these folks. They can't even think outside the box."
This public clash continues to fuel debates about accountability, transparency, and rivalry within Nigeria's circle of social media activists, with financial integrity becoming a central point of contention.
