Popular social media personality, VeryDarkMan, has found himself at the center of controversy after claiming that ₦180 million was stolen from his NGO’s website, leaving just ₦20 million in the account.
In a video currently making rounds on X (formerly Twitter), the online influencer expressed his distress over the alleged hacking incident. “For the past few days, I’ve not been myself. Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and I don’t know how they did it, but ₦180 million is missing,” he stated.

The revelation comes on the heels of his much-publicized launch of an NGO dedicated to transforming Nigeria’s education sector. During the launch, VeryDarkMan shared his bank account details, prompting generous donations from hundreds of Nigerians, including notable celebrities, raising a reported ₦200 million in total.
However, less than a month after the initiative began, the alleged theft has cast a shadow over the project.
However, the announcement has sparked outrage and skepticism on social media, with many users questioning the authenticity of the claim. Critics accused VeryDarkMan of damaging his credibility and potentially exploiting the goodwill of Nigerians who supported the cause.
