By: Zagazola Makama
Popular Nigerian social media personality, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has stirred controversy following a viral video in which he allegedly called on youths in Plateau to “restrategise” and take up arms against perceived strangers in their communities.
In the video, which has since circulated widely across social media platforms, the influencer was heard making statements interpreted as inciting violence amid the tense security situation in parts of Plateau State.
“Anybody you see that is not from here, anybody that looks suspicious, before they get you down, get them down!” he said.
He further urged residents not to rely on government intervention, saying: “If you keep quiet and wait for the government… it won’t be the first time, it won’t be the second time… when does this stop? You promise us security, but nobody is secure!”
The content creator also appeared to call for a shift from passive reactions to active confrontation, stating: “No be only Boko Haram sabi kill, no be only bandit sabi kill. All of us fit kill… all of us na Killers, until you ready. No ever to say you no get the mind. You fit kill person. You can kill people. And for these people oh my God.
He added: “Please protect yourselves and don’t wait for the government.”
He further called on the “To the people of Rukuba Enough is Enough, Enough is Enough. Anybody wey you see wey cross your part, KILL AM
However, few hour’s after his dangerous rhetoric and emotional outbursts violence quickly began to spread in the Northern part of Plateau. The same night, some youths of Rukuba went on rampage and began targeted killings especially in the Muslim communities.
Residents of Plateau have called on security agencies to investigate and possibly prosecute all those who made inflammatory comments widely perceived as inciting violence in the state.

What an insulting comparison.

🚨 Iran just issued its most direct economic threat of this war:
“If you can tolerate oil at more than $200 per barrel — continue this game.”
Let’s put $200 oil in real terms:
Gas at the pump: $8-10/gallon.
Diesel: $12+/gallon.
Every product shipped by truck in America gets more expensive overnight.
Airlines grounded or tickets at $3,000 minimum.
Heating oil. Plastics. Fertilizer. Medicine.
Everything.
Oil is already at $110. Up from $65 one week ago. Qatar warning it hits $150 within days if Gulf exporters halt.
Iran isn’t bluffing. They control the Strait. They said they decide when it ends.
Trump told merchant sailors to “show some guts.”
Iran told Trump what guts will cost you.
$200 a barrel.
The five-deferment president started a war he has no idea how to end.
