Controversial social media personality, Verydarkman, has stirred intense debate online following a blunt and emotional message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the wake of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.
In a video posted on Instagram, Verydarkman did not hold back as he addressed the deep frustrations many Nigerians are currently battling under the Tinubu-led administration.
The video, which has since gone viral, captures a visibly disturbed Verydarkman reflecting on the socio-economic hardship plaguing the country.
According to him, the level of suffering in Nigeria has reached an unbearable point, such that many citizens have begun to utter disturbing sentiments—wishing it was Tinubu who had passed instead of Buhari.
He described this growing public resentment as a direct consequence of what he termed “harsh and anti-people policies” introduced by the Tinubu government since assuming office in 2023.
The social commentator emphasized that Buhari’s passing should serve as a warning to Tinubu, as the widespread backlash and lack of reverence for Buhari in death reveals how disappointed Nigerians were in his leadership. He urged Tinubu to learn from his predecessor’s perceived failures and take decisive steps to restore public trust before it’s too late.
Verydarkman called on the President to deeply reflect on the public sentiment currently boiling beneath the surface and consider implementing immediate changes that prioritize the needs of the masses. He advised Tinubu to become more empathetic, reform-minded, and people-driven in his leadership approach.

This public statement comes amid rising inflation, unemployment, and general discontent across the country. With subsidy removals, fuel hikes, and a depreciating naira compounding hardship for ordinary Nigerians, Tinubu’s popularity has been significantly affected.
As reactions to Verydarkman’s video continue to flood social media, many Nigerians echoed his sentiments, while others cautioned against the use of death comparisons
