Controversial activist, Verydarkman a.k.a VDM has addressed losing the ‘Force of Social Good’ category to Chess Master, Tunde Onakoya at the Trendupp Awards.
Despite strong support from his fans, VDM was beaten by Tunde Onakoya, who is renowned for founding Chess in the Slum and setting a Guinness World Record for 58 hours of continuous chess.
VDM’s supporters are outraged by the result, alleging he was robbed of the award, while critics are mocking him.
In response, Verydarkman released a video in which he shrugged off the loss, emphasizing that his social media activism is driven by passion and not by a desire for awards.
He revealed that he was unaware of his nomination and is too busy with his activism to attend award ceremonies, showing a defiant nonchalance towards the controversy.
“Wetin I wan use award do? What do you people think we do here? Award night? People are going through pain, in prison, e.t.c, too many things to do and I go come carry myself dey look for award? What is my business? What am I using award to do?” he said partly.
