VeryDarkMan NBA Conference Speech Sparks Mixed Reactions

VDM spoke at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, where he appeared as a panelist to discuss insecurity and share his experiences covering violent incidents across the country.

His invitation to speak at the conference sparked mixed reactions, with some questioning the decision to invite a social media activist to an event attended by senior lawyers, while others praised his presence and influence.

Speaking to lawyers at the conference, VDM, who described himself as an online police, said politics remains at the root of insecurity in Nigeria.

“I think the root of insecurity is politics. The people who benefit from it are the ones who cause it: the government, the police, the military men. The people are the sacrificial lamb, and they don’t benefit from anything.
