Popular Nigerian social critic, VeryDarkMan, has reacted strongly to a viral protest video showing Ebonyi State youths giving Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni a 24-hour ultimatum to apologize to the Minister of Works, David Umahi, for alleged “media misconduct.”
Ebonyi Youths Demand Apology from Rufai Oseni
In the circulating footage, the youths accused the journalist of showing disrespect toward Minister Umahi during a recent Arise TV broadcast. They described his remarks as unprofessional and demanded a public apology within 24 hours, warning of consequences if he failed to comply.
The development quickly gained traction online, sparking mixed reactions from Nigerians who questioned whether such a demand undermines press freedom.
VeryDarkMan’s Bold Reaction
Reacting to the viral clip, VeryDarkMan did not mince words. In a video shared on social media, he declared:
“First of all, God PVni$h David Umahi.”
The outspoken influencer criticized both the youths and what he perceived as political intimidation of journalists. He argued that the energy directed at Rufai Oseni would be better spent demanding transparency and accountability from public officials.
Debate Over Media Freedom
The controversy has reignited debate over the role of the media and freedom of expression in Nigeria. While journalists are expected to maintain professionalism, many argue that public officials and their supporters must also tolerate critical reporting in a democracy.
