Social media activist, VeryDarkMan, launched his Non-Governmental Organization on Saturday, and promised transparency and accountability.
Announcing the launching in a post alongside a video via his Instagram page, @verydarkblackman, he stated that the NGO will focus on community development and equipping public schools.
“@davido you don ask my for my account details before @cubana_chiefpriest you have told me to ask you for help anytime. Today is that time ((to those of you in my dms asking for my account details to support me, today is the day; to the ones when I help collect money wey been wan pay me, today is the day.)
“I will be very transparent. I will post the money that was contributed online for everyone to see, and I will carry everyone along. Every money will be well accounted for. If you believe this will bring change, please support it. No amount is too small; even 5 naira is welcomed. Like I said, any amount is welcome," he wrote in the post.
However, VeryDarkMan disclosed in another Instagram post on Sunday that within 24 hours of launching the NGO, he has received over N33 million in donations.
He wrote: “Barely 24 hours since I announced my NGO, if I tell you how much is in that account now, you would not believe it. First of all, shout out to all the people who have sent money, shout out to the people sending money. God will bless you.
“I saw the massive love and support when I started seeing amounts like N72, N100, N22, N50, N500. To be very honest, most of the money that was contributed was from N500 naira down. It means most of these people no get, but they want to support me. The love is massive.”
Sharing a screenshot of the total donations, he thanked donors, most of whom he said gave N500 or less, for their contributions despite financial constraints.
The activist had, in past weeks, been enmeshed in a controversy involving a popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, over allegations of bribery and corruption.
