Social critic and activist, VeryDarkMan, has taken a swipe at reality TV star and billionaire heir, Kiddwaya, over his recent call for public donations aimed at helping victims of the attack in Yelwata, Benue State.
Recall that Kiddwaya had posted an appeal on X, asking Nigerians to donate towards relief efforts for the affected community.
The post drew heavy backlash, forcing him to take it down.
Reacting via a video on X, VeryDarkMan called out the contradiction in Kiddwaya’s message, questioning why someone who constantly shows off wealth would suddenly need money from the public to help others.
He argued that Kiddwaya, if truly concerned, should have taken the lead by funding the initiative himself.
He said, “The first thing you could do, you just quickly do one write up next thing you go drop account number.
“How would you know what the Benue people need when you never go there. You just dey wherever you dey, write one nonsense letter come drop account.
“I’m happy Nigerians rebuked you to the point wey you go delete am, e sweet my body. Because you na guy man wey like dey brag about your wealth. Every time you rub your wealth on people’s face, show say na you better pass every Nigerian.”
In the same video, VeryDarkMan extended his criticism to NGOs. He warned against exploiting the Benue crisis by asking for donations under the guise of providing food, when the root issue is insecurity, not hunger.

He said he would only make his NGO’s account public if community leaders in the affected areas form vigilante groups and receive official clearance from the Inspector General of Police to bear arms.
He said, “To every NGO in the country that might want to take advantage of the happenings in Benue State, the people of Benue are not hungry. You will collect money from the government, say una wan bring relief material una go bring rice beans garri, the people of Benue are not starving, food is not their problem, insecurity is.
“If the community leaders of its local government can come out, set up a vigilante, write to the inspector general of police that they need arms, if the inspector general of police approves of arms, we go put account number online tell every Nigerian even if na 5 Naira contribute.
“This isn’t the time to talk and keep quiet it is beyond that, everybody needs to play their part.”
