Some Nigerian business owners design their hůstle like fr@udst€rs are the target market. One polo 125k? Barbers charging 35k? How do I sůrv!ve if I can’t even afford basic needs? If it’s only for the rich, just say it. We blåme government a lot but some people are also ru1n!ng things from the bottom up.” - Guy shares opinion

When Accountability Becomes Selective
This isn't hate, it's observation. I've followed VDM for a while, and I'll be honest. There are moments he's right. There are times he speaks the truth, calls out nonsense, and says what many people are afraid to say. On some issues, we agree with him. But on this Wizkid and Auntie Seun matter? For me and many others who share the same view, it's a NO. Completely no. Because in this situation, Wizkid is clearly right.
Truth be told...We love VDM, but because we love him doesn't mean we love his wrongdoings too. Never!
Now let's talk about patterns....There was a time Don Jazzy gave Bobrisky money to support prisoners and VDM came online to insult Don Jazzy and try to spoil his name. Fast-forward to when Don Jazzy sent 100 million Naira to NGO account, suddenly it was silence, smiles, and pictures. No moral lectures. No outrage. Just friendliness.
WizKid once referred to Don Jazzy as an influencer. They later met when he came back to the country, hung out, and took pictures. In one of the videos about Wizkid released by VDM, he blasted Wizkid saying he was wrong for going to take pictures with Don Jazzy after insulting him. But here's the key difference. Wizkid didn't get a dime from Don Jazzy, but VDM did, and still went ahead to take pictures with him.
Then came the Burna Boy situation. VDM blasted Burna Boy online for spending his own money on expensive cars, lecturing him how he was supposed to use his money. Later, he went to Burna's birthday party at his place, took pictures, and after that, Burna started sending him dollars to help people. Again, same pattern.
Now to the Wizkid and Seun Kuti issue, when Auntie Seun was attacking Wizkid and his fans online for almost a whole week, VDM said nothing. When auntie Seun's elder sister went as far as insulting Wizkid's father and his late mother on the 10th of January, VDM still said nothing.
But the moment Wizkid reacted on the 20th, reacted like any normal and reasonable human being would, he suddenly became the bad person. VDM even went on camera to explain how Wizkid was "supposed" to react. So now reactions are being judged, but provocations are being ignored? Hypocrisy...
Same VDM who once cautioned people against fighting on planes and in airports. Same VDM who blasted Jaywon and that woman called Comfort over a plane incident. Yet the same VDM later fought Mr Jollof on a plane, doing the exact thing he preached against.
Believe me when I say at this point, it's no longer activism. It's selective morality. Let me be clear, we may agree with VDM on some issues. But on this particular Wizkid and Auntie Seun matter, Wizkid is 1000% clearly right.
And let's call the final thing what it is. This whole drama feels like attention-seeking besides sentiment. And unfortunately for him, Wizkid's attention is too expensive for him to afford.
You don't attack someone repeatedly hoping they notice you like Auntie Seun and call it activism. Truth doesn't bend for money, friendships, or photo-ops. And consistency is the real test of integrity.
End of session... The rest is yours to ponder.
