According to punch newspaper, Businessman and social commentator, Isaac Fayose, has called on Nigerians to take to the streets in mass protest to demand the release of popular social media activist, VeryDarkMan. In a passionate appeal shared via his social media page, Fayose criticized the continued detention of the outspoken activist and urged citizens not to remain passive in the face of what he described as injustice.
Speaking ahead of the planned protest, Fayose warned that staying silent in critical moments only enables oppression. “If you sit at home on Tuesday, you don’t have any right to complain about Nigeria,” he declared. His message was directed at young Nigerians in particular, urging them to speak out and show solidarity with those who fight for truth and accountability.
VeryDarkMan, known for his bold and often controversial takes on political and social issues, was reportedly arrested over allegations linked to his online commentary. While the details surrounding his arrest remain unclear, human rights advocates have raised concerns about freedom of expression and increasing pressure on activists critical of public officials.
Fayose described the situation as a test of the country’s democratic values and called on fellow citizens to rise beyond online outrage. “Nigeria belongs to all of us,” he said. “Today it’s VeryDarkMan, tomorrow it could be anyone who dares to speak up.” He emphasized the need for a peaceful but resolute protest to demand transparency, justice, and respect for fundamental human rights.
The call for protest has sparked a wave of reactions online, with some Nigerians expressing support and preparing to mobilize, while others remain cautious, citing security concerns and fear of police crackdowns. Nonetheless, Fayose maintained that the struggle for justice requires sacrifice and unity. “No nation can change without the courage of its people,” he added.
As the planned protest draws near, many are watching closely to see whether Nigerians will heed Fayose’s call and what the broader implications might be for civic activism in the country. With tensions rising and questions about government accountability lingering, the outcome of this movement could shape the tone of public discourse in the months ahead.
