Controversial Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has taken aim at the mother of embattled social media personality VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse), criticizing her for making a video call to singer Davido instead of publicly pleading with authorities for her son’s release.
VeryDarkMan, known for his outspoken activism and online commentaries, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on May 2, following multiple petitions alleging cyberstalking and related offenses. Since his arrest, he has remained in custody, sparking nationwide calls for his release.
🎥 Video Call to Davido Sparks Backlash
A video surfaced online showing VeryDarkMan’s mother speaking with Afrobeats superstar Davido via video call. The moment quickly caught attention online, not for support, but for the seeming lack of urgency regarding her son’s legal troubles.
Reacting to the clip, Uche Maduagwu took to social media to mock the woman’s actions, questioning why she could initiate a video call with a celebrity, but couldn’t post a video publicly pleading with the EFCC or government officials to free her son.
🗣️ Uche Maduagwu’s Criticism
In his usual blunt style, Uche stated:
“Na mama be this one? Mama wey fit do video call with Davido wey dem no arrest, mama wey no fit do video to beg government or EFCC say make dem release VDM. Na mama be this one?”
In his caption, he added:
“DM Mama can do a Video Call with Davido but she can’t do a video for #FreeVdm 🙄… Mama VDM, this is so BAD. So you want other people’s children to protest while you can’t even do a 1-minute video from your house? Which kain mama be this?”
💬 Mixed Reactions from Social Media
The post sparked heated responses from Nigerians online. While some agreed with Uche’s sentiments, others felt he was out of line for publicly criticizing a mother dealing with her son’s detention.
One user wrote:
“Social media has given weird people a platform. And they’re being amplified consistently by blogs.”
Another added:
“If you insult my mother publicly, I will go to jail. Period.”
🤔 Final Thoughts
Uche Maduagwu’s comments have once again stirred debate online—should a mother be shamed for not speaking out publicly, or is it unfair pressure during a stressful time?
Meanwhile, fans of VeryDarkMan continue to demand his release, with hashtags like #FreeVDM gaining traction on Nigerian social media.
