Content creator Oyemykke (Olukoya Abisoye Michael) offering advice to social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), ahead of his anticipated release from EFCC custody. Oyemykke addresses VeryDarkMan, who has been in EFCC custody since his arrest on May 5, 2025, at a Guarantee Trust Bank (GTBank) branch in Abuja. Oyemykke, a content creator known for his outspoken commentary, appears to be offering strategic advice to VDM, possibly drawing from his own experiences with controversies.

The timing of the video aligns with growing public support for VDM’s release, as evidenced by the #FreeVDM protests in Abuja. Oyemykke’s past interactions with VDM, Oyemykke’s criticism of VDM over a hacked N180 million NGO fund, where he accused VDM of misusing the money to buy a car. This history suggests Oyemykke’s advice may stem from a place of skepticism about VDM’s actions.

Some users dismissed Oyemykke’s advice outright. @real_POK criticized Oyemykke’s approach, stating, “He’s quoting 48 laws of power and using it out of context. A proper coward!”. Others, like @4Kraya, were indifferent, simply commenting, “We don’t care,” while @MrSpace0011 told Oyemykke to “Abeg Get out.”
Several users pointed out Oyemykke’s absence from Nigeria as a reason to discredit his advice. @Tohsyne__ remarked, “You no Dey naija now, na why advice full your mouth. 😒,” and @STANFITS added, “Nigeria good na why you Dey outside… hold your advice Abeg.” @BLVCKID humorously suggested, “Send this advice to my opay,” implying the advice was irrelevant to their daily struggles. @AYENZY called Oyemykke’s advice “dull,” stating, “This guy dull. His advice Dey ayra star.”
However, not all reactions were negative. @OkoroMaryj66348 supported Oyemykke, saying, “But to be honest, he is making sense,” suggesting that some found value in his perspective. Technical issues also surfaced, with @eugeneebuks noting, “Who mute this video I no dey hear anything,” indicating potential audio problems with the post.

VeryDarkMan’s arrest by the EFCC on allegations of financial crimes and cyberstalking has been a major talking point in Nigeria. BBC News Pidgin reported that VDM was detained while addressing an issue at GTBank, prompting protests in Abuja under the #FreeVDM banner. Public figures like Peter Obi and Davido have called for his release, while the EFCC insists the arrest is lawful, as per their May 6, 2025, statement. Oyemykke, on the other hand, has a history of engaging with VDM’s controversies.
His December 2024 comments about VDM’s alleged misuse of NGO funds, positioned him as a critic of VDM’s financial transparency. Oyemykke’s advice in the recent video may reflect this ongoing tension, possibly urging VDM to be more cautious in his activism or financial dealings post-release.
