Adeyanju Warns VeryDarkMan Against Taking Unnecessary Risks

Deji Adeyanju, lawyer to outspoken social media critic VeryDarkMan, has sparked public debate with a blunt warning to his client about the dangers of taking needless risks.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Adeyanju said he frequently advises VeryDarkMan to be more cautious, but the warnings often go unheeded.

“I call VDM every time to be careful and stop taking unnecessary risks, but he doesn’t listen most of the time,” Adeyanju wrote. “If anything happens to you today, everyone has moved on by tomorrow. We only overrate ourselves. Nigerians don’t rate anybody.”

The post has stirred mixed reactions online, with some praising Adeyanju for his honesty, while others criticized him for airing private concerns publicly.

Adeyanju’s comments come amid recent controversies surrounding VeryDarkMan, including an ongoing money laundering allegation involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which the critic has publicly addressed.

The warning also underscores the growing tension between public figures and the risks associated with online activism and criticism in Nigeria’s heated social and political climate.
