Popular activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has sounded a serious warning to controversial social commentator VeryDarkMan (VDM), urging him to tread carefully and avoid taking unnecessary risks in his quest for truth and justice.
“I Call VDM All the Time…”
In a Facebook post that’s currently going viral, Deji expressed concern for VDM’s safety, saying he frequently calls him to advise caution—reaches out to him in private:
"I call VDM every time to be careful and stop taking unnecessary risk but he doesn’t listen most of the time.
Deji’s post highlights the dangers of activism and how quickly public sentiment fades, even for those once celebrated.
If anything happens to you today, everyone has moved on by tomorrow. We only overrate ourselves, Nigerians don’t rate anybody."
His statement paints a brutally honest picture of how Nigerian society tends to move on quickly after tragedy — a warning not just to VDM but to anyone who constantly puts themselves at risk for public causes, later depending on mass support for protection.
VDM is widely known for his raw, fearless takes on social injustice, celebrity scandals, and political misconduct. His bold approach has earned him both loyal fans, popular figure in media space but targeted by powerful enemies.
But as Adeyanju warns, the same people who cheer today may go silent tomorrow when things go wrong. His words are a reminder that clout fades fast, and personal safety should never be taken for granted.
In his own words, “Nigerians don’t rate anybody” — and that might just be the most sobering truth of all.
Whether you're an activist, celebrity, or outspoken voice, loyalty in the digital age is fleeting. Deji’s words remind us that personal safety and longevity matter more than short-term clout or applause.
The realms beyond are not always what we’ve been told…
