Verydarkman Said He Was Invited To The Defense HQ By Major Gen M.E Onoja
VDM Is Revolutionizing Activism: From Media Noise to the Power Table.
I’ve been keeping up with the VDM events that took place today at the Abuja defense headquarters, and to be honest, this one is unique.
It’s not noise. This isn’t yelling for influence on the internet. This person knows how to bring social media issues to the table where decisions are actually made, as well as timing and influence.
VDM went there for more than just a conversation. He brought up legitimate concerns, including murders, insecurity, and—above all—the Justice Crack case. He didn’t avoid it. He didn’t dilute it. He expressed his opinions honestly and even openly questioned the system. That requires bravery, but it also requires common sense.
His approach is what most intrigues me. People have been identifying as activists for more than 36 years. constantly criticizing, protesting, and whining. What has actually changed, though? Without direction, noise will always be noise.
VDM is displaying an alternative. involvement. intentional pressure. criticism while being present. It’s not enough to simply state that the system is flawed; you also need to intervene, force discussions that many people are unable to have, and then offer solutions.
You can’t deny the intelligence behind his actions, even if you disagree with everything he does. Shouting outside the gate and being asked to speak inside are two very different things.
