Prominent social media commentator Chude has expressed frustration over the state of the Nigerian judiciary, criticizing its perceived lack of independence in addressing critical legal matters. Chude lamented the growing distrust in the country’s courts, suggesting that Nigerians and even foreign investors now prefer to seek justice through social media advocate rather than the judiciary.
He wrote: “People, including foreign investors, prefer to run to VeryDarkMan to help solve their problems instead of the Nigerian judiciary. What a time to be alive as a lawyer in this country.” Chude’s statement was in response to a viral video showing VeryDarkMan calling on the federal government to intervene in an alleged land-grabbing scandal in Abuja.
The controversy centers on claims that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, is reportedly allocating land to associates under questionable circumstances. Documents shared by the activist reportedly support these allegations.
According to documents presented by VeryDarkMan, the FCT Minister is allegedly reallocating land to his associates, sparking outrage among affected citizens and social media users. The activist’s campaign has garnered significant public attention, with many rallying behind his call for accountability. Chude, in his statement, highlighted the growing trend of people turning to figures like VeryDarkMan instead of relying on the judiciary.
“People, including foreign investors, prefer to run to VeryDarkMan to help solve their problems instead of the Nigerian judiciary,” he wrote.
VeryDarkMan has built a reputation for leveraging social media to spotlight injustices and mobilize public opinion. His growing influence reflects the frustrations of many Nigerians who feel disenfranchised by traditional institutions.
