VeryDarkMan went to the site of the Yelewata massacre in Benue just one day after it happened.
Number of pastors, celebrities, and online critics of VDM (including myself) who have gone there? Zero.

This is why he matters in our social media space.
He goes where the rest of us — hiding behind our phones and hot takes — won’t dare to go.
Him face show, him shoe shine.

His presence on the ground brought real attention to how serious the situation is — something traditional media would have watered down with "reports reaching us" and vague headlines.

Yes, VDM get him own skoin-skoin sometimes, no lie.
But one thing you can’t take from him — the guy dey try.

And no, this doesn’t mean I won’t call him out tomorrow if he yarn dust. But credit must be given where it’s due — and this time, he deserves it.
