VeryDarkMan launches NGO, raises N33 million in 24 hours
VeryDarkMan, a controversial social media personality, has founded a Non-Governmental Organisation.
On Saturday, VeryDarkMan announced the NGO’s mission in a post and video on his Instagram page, @verydarkblackman and said it will focus on community development and equipping public schools.
The social media activist called for support and vowed transparency and accountability.
He wrote, “@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.
In another Instagram post on Sunday, VeryDarkMan revealed that he had received more than N33 million in donations in just 24 hours.
He also posted a screenshot of the total donations and thanked everyone who contributed. According to the activist, most people donated N500 or less, proving their willingness to help despite 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,” he wrote.
In recent weeks, the activist had become embroiled in a controversy involving a well-known crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, over allegations of bribery and corruption.
