Imo-based activist Chinonso Uba has urged members of the Ratel movement to speak with their leader, VeryDarkMan, over what he believes is a growing distraction from the issues that originally made the activist popular.
Uba believes VeryDarkMan has an important role to play in holding people accountable and standing up for ordinary Nigerians, but says his recent attention to disagreements involving entertainers is taking him away from matters that deserve more of his energy.
According to the Imo-based activist, Nigeria is dealing with several serious challenges, and the country needs people who are willing to speak up, ask difficult questions and demand accountability from those in positions of authority.
With the 2027 general election drawing closer, Uba feels this is not the time for an activist with such a large following to spend much of his attention on exchanges involving celebrities.
He mentioned Zlatan and Davido among the entertainers whose names have come up in VeryDarkMan's recent disputes, questioning why the activist is getting caught up in such matters when there are bigger national issues that need attention.
Uba's concern appears to be less about VeryDarkMan's personality and more about the direction of his activism. He believes the public expects more from someone who has built a reputation around fighting for people who feel neglected or denied justice.
In his words:
"Ratel people, it's time to advise your leader, VeryDarkMan, because he's now behaving like a kid. We are facing serious problems in the country, and the 2027 election is just months away, but VeryDarkMan is focused on chasing shadows, from Zlatan to Davido and others. This isn't what we know VeryDarkMan for. This is no longer activism. However, I acknowledge his efforts in helping people get justice."
Despite his criticism, Uba did not dismiss everything VeryDarkMan has done. He specifically acknowledged the activist's efforts in helping people seek justice, suggesting that he still recognises the positive side of his work.
That acknowledgement is important because Uba's position is not that VeryDarkMan has contributed nothing to society. Rather, he believes the activist needs to return his attention to the issues that gave his activism meaning in the first place.
For someone who has attracted public attention through campaigns against injustice and the exposure of alleged wrongdoing, Uba believes there is still much to be done, particularly as Nigerians prepare for another election season.
His message is simply for Ratel members to encourage their leader to concentrate on issues affecting the country and avoid allowing celebrity disagreements to take centre stage in his activism.
