Popular Nigerian social media activist and critic, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as Verydarkman, has set the internet abuzz with a romantic revelation and grand wedding plans. The controversial figure shared intimate moments with a mystery lover, igniting widespread speculation and excitement among his followers.
Romantic Revelation Sparks Online Frenzy
On January 5, 2026, Verydarkman took to his Instagram platform to post cosy photographs and a video featuring a light-skinned woman. The content captured tender moments, including an embrace and a kiss, though the woman's face was carefully obscured. This post immediately triggered a flood of reactions from fans and social media users, many expressing surprise and curiosity about the identity of his new love interest.
The online speculation was further fueled by a subsequent video where Verydarkman appeared with socialite Isaac Fayose. During their conversation, the activist dropped significant hints about his future plans, shifting the discussion from who the woman is to when the wedding will be.
Grand Wedding Plans: A Stadium Celebration for All
In his characteristic bold style, Verydarkman outlined his vision for a potential wedding, promising an event of monumental scale. He emphatically stated that if he gets married, the celebration will be held in Nigeria, dismissing any notion of a foreign ceremony.
He described his envisioned wedding in grandiose terms, comparing it to a pilgrimage site. "It will be like Mecca… People will be there… In Abuja stadium… I will tell them to give me a stadium… Three entrances… Everybody needs to be there… There is no invitation," he declared. This statement suggests his intention to host a massive, high-profile, and inclusive event open to family, friends, and the public alike.
History of Mystery and Fan Reactions
This is not the first time Verydarkman has sparked romance-related conversations online. Legit.ng had previously reported that the activist stirred fresh discussions in 2025 with romantic moments from a trip to Turkey. He had travelled there to celebrate his friend, footballer Victor Osimhen's triumph at Galatasaray, reportedly in the company of the same woman.
Furthermore, a clip from a TikTok live session showed VDM sharing a passionate kiss with the woman, though he remained conscious about hiding her full identity. These past incidents have built a narrative of a secretive romance that has now culminated in talk of marriage.
The latest developments have generated a wave of humorous and excited reactions from netizens:
- @dkokopee joked about the guest list, while @halaalofficial referenced fellow activist Harrison Gwamnishu handling the wedding funds.
- @the_real_tobe_official volunteered to be in charge of food service.
- @djinee offered heartfelt congratulations, writing, "I’m humbled. I wish you all the happiness on your new journey. You deserve it bro."
- Others like @chichi1beke already began planning for the "asoebi" (uniform attire) and refreshments.
The online chatter also revisited a previous moment when another influencer, JojoofLele, was humorously introduced as 'VeryDarkMan's wife' at a 'Free VDM' protest venue in Abuja, adding another layer to the ongoing saga of his perceived relationships.
As the news spreads, fans are left eagerly awaiting two major revelations: the identity of the mystery lover and the official date for the proposed grand stadium wedding in the nation's capital. Verydarkman has successfully turned his personal life into the next major topic of public discussion in Nigeria's vibrant online community.
