Social commentator and activist VeryDarkMan has called out billionaire’s son Kiddwaya for asking the public to donate funds for victims of the recent attack in Yelwata, Benue State.
Kiddwaya had earlier posted on X (formerly Twitter), urging Nigerians to contribute to relief efforts for the affected community—a move that drew heavy criticism and led him to delete the post.
Reacting in a video shared on X, VeryDarkMan highlighted the irony of Kiddwaya, known for showcasing his wealth, turning to everyday Nigerians for donations.
He questioned Kiddwaya’s sincerity, suggesting that if his concern were genuine, he should have personally financed the support.
He said, “The first thing you could do, you just quickly do one write up next thing you go drop account number. How would you know what the Benue people need when you never go there. You just dey wherever you dey, write one nonsense letter come drop account.
“I’m happy Nigerians rebuked you to the point wey you go delete am, e sweet my body. Because you na guy man wey like dey brag about your wealth. Every time you rub your wealth on people’s face, show say na you better pass every Nigerian.”
VeryDarkMan further weighed in on NGOs, warning them against exploiting the crisis in Benue State by soliciting donations for food items, as the real problem is insecurity.
The activist proposed that he will only share his NGO’s account if community leaders set up defense groups and get approval for arms from the Inspector General of Police.
He said, “To every NGO in the country that might want to take advantage of the happenings in benue state, the people of Benue are not hungry. You will collect money from government say una wan bring relief material una go bring rice beans garri, the people of Benue are not starving, food is not their problem, insecurity is.
“If the community leaders of its local government can come out, set up a vigilante, write to the inspector general of police that they need arms, if the inspector general of police approves of arms, we go put account number online tell every Nigerian even if na 5 Naira contribute.
“This isn’t the time to talk and keep quiet it is beyond that, everybody needs to play their part.”
