Nigerian financial commentator and social media personality, GehGeh, has thrown a fresh challenge at controversial online activist, VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM, questioning why the activist would allegedly focus his attention on him while prominent political figures remain subjects of public criticism.
GehGeh, who appeared displeased with VDM’s alleged threat to damage his reputation, maintained that the activist should channel his energy towards holding influential political leaders accountable instead of making him a target.
In a fiery response, the financial commentator specifically mentioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), challenging VDM to direct his activism towards issues involving the political establishment.
According to GehGeh, bringing attention to the activities of such powerful political figures would have a greater impact on Nigerians than attempting to bring down his reputation.
He reportedly questioned why VDM, who commands a significant following and has built a reputation for confronting public figures, would choose to focus on him when there were bigger political issues demanding attention.
GehGeh further argued that his work revolves around giving financial advice, stressing that people are free to accept or reject his recommendations but must take responsibility for their financial decisions.
He also maintained that VDM could only damage his reputation if he engaged in wrongdoing, while suggesting that he was equally capable of using his own platform to respond to the activist.
The exchange has added another twist to the growing tension between the two online personalities, with their disagreement drawing attention to the influence of social media figures and the role they play in demanding accountability from public officials.
The development has also stirred conversations among social media users over whether online activists should concentrate more on political accountability or extend their scrutiny to other public personalities.
