7 Days or Else: VeryDarkMan Slammed with Ultimatum Over Explosive Akpabio Comments | WhatsNextNG
Here we go again. In Nigeria’s increasingly volatile socio-political space, it doesn’t take much to spark a wildfire and controversial activist and social critic, VeryDarkMan, just lit another one. According to the APC spokesperson.
Following his explosive comments aimed at Senate President Godswill Akpabio, a powerful coalition has issued a strict 7day ultimatum:
Apologize or face consequences.
But with VDM’s history of defiance and his army of loyal followers, the real question burning through the streets is:
Will VeryDarkMan bow to pressure, or is Nigeria headed for another social media war? well, we pray he comes out unharm following his reaction after receiving the ultimatum
What Exactly Did VeryDarkMan Say?
In a fiery Instagram Live session that quickly went viral, VeryDarkMan accused Akpabio of “betraying the Nigerian people,” labeling him as “a puppet of the old corrupt system.“ LOL that hurt !!!
He went further, alleging shady deals, power misuse, and betrayal of the youth movement all without mincing words.
While many Nigerians, frustrated by the political climate, cheered his boldness, Akpabio’s supporters were anything but amused.
The 7-Day Ultimatum: Serious or Empty Threat?
An influential group of Akpabio loyalists, backed by senior political figures and legal bodies, issued a formal statement:
“We demand an immediate and unreserved apology within seven (7) days. Failure to comply will attract legal actions and a coordinated campaign to expose the so-called activist for his lies and defamation.“
In simple English: sue him, shame him, and silence him if he doesn’t play ball.
But if history has taught us anything about VeryDarkMan, it’s that he doesn’t bend easily to intimidation.
The Internet Reacts: Nigeria Divided (Again)
Predictably, the ultimatum has torn social media apart:
- Team VeryDarkMan calls him “the voice of the voiceless” and “the last fearless critic standing”.
- Akpabio supporters label him “a reckless attention-seeker who must be taught a lesson”.
On X (formerly Twitter), hashtags like #IStandWithVDM and #ApologizeOrElse are trending, with millions of Nigerians weighing in.
One user tweeted:
“If they silence VeryDarkMan, who will they come for next?“
Another wrote:
“Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to insult respected leaders.“
👀 What Happens If VeryDarkMan Refuses?
If the past is any clue, VeryDarkMan might not only refuse to apologize — he might double down.
But this time, the stakes could be much higher:
- Lawsuits for defamation (which could bankrupt even outspoken activists)
- Possible arrest for “inciting public unrest”
- Major media blackouts to erase his platform
And let’s not pretend: Nigeria’s political elite plays rough.
If the legal system is weaponized — even subtly — VeryDarkMan could face battles far bigger than online dragging.
⚡ Final Thoughts: A Fight Bigger Than Apology
This isn’t just about one man and one insult.
At the core, it’s about freedom of speech versus the raw power of Nigerian politics.
It’s about whether Nigerians can still criticize leaders without fear of destruction.
And it’s about a generation that refuses to be silenced — even when the consequences are brutal.
The next 7 days will tell if VeryDarkMan stands his ground — or if power will once again remind us who really controls the narrative.
One thing is certain: Nigeria is watching. And so is WhatsNextNG.
