Nigerian social media personality, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has unveiled a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) focused on community development and enhancing public schools.
On Saturday, VeryDarkMan took to his Instagram page, @verydarkblackman, to announce the launch of his NGO, accompanied by a video. He urged supporters to contribute to the cause, promising transparency and accountability.
In his post, he wrote: “@davido you don ask me 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.)”
VeryDarkMan assured his followers that every donation would be publicly disclosed and accounted for. “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.”
In an update on Sunday, VeryDarkMan revealed that he had received over N33 million in donations within 24 hours. He shared a screenshot of the total donations and expressed gratitude to his supporters.
“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,” he wrote.
VeryDarkMan noted that most donors contributed N500 or less, demonstrating their willingness to support despite financial constraints.
“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.”
