Self acclaimed social activist Very Dark Man has come out with another hot take about the ongoing protest in Nigeria, and he had a lot to get off his chest.
He started by stating that the rumors making rounds that protesters were sponsored weren’t true because the main sponsors of the event were hike in fuel prices and hunger.
Going forward, Very Dark Man explained the reason for calling out Minister Nyemson Wike’s name in one of his videos, and his reasons were quite interesting.
He said that when he went out to protest, a police officer called him aside and asked that he should leave the area, alongside the other protesters, and head to the National Stadium Abuja.
Very Dark Man said he asked him why, and the police man told him that they were just following orders, to which he insisted on verifying.
According to Very Dark Man, Minister Nyemson Wike had ordered the police and other security agencies to confine the protests for Abuja residents to the National Stadium.
Very Dark Man said that shortly after, the police started throwing tear gas at Abuja residents, and they had to run to the stadium, which in the process, he kept calling out Wike’s name.
Despite the fact that he was thrown tear gas by the police, Very Dark Man defended them, stating that they were only acting based on orders, and their hands were tied.
The controversial activist went on to analyze the price of the tear gas which the police was throwing at citizens, and he said that the least would cost about twenty-two thousand Naira.
Very Dark Man said that if only the government had invested the money used to purchase tear gas into bettering the country, citizens wouldn’t be protesting in the first place.
He said that he wasn’t happy about the way Minister Nyemson Wike treated them, citing that they aren’t animals, and they should’ve been treated with more respect.
Very Dark Man concluded his video with a message to the President, asking him to reduce the price of fuel.
He said that if the price of fuel is slashed by 50%, personally he wouldn’t go out to protest, and he would encourage others to stay home.
