When trying to talk about the Nigerian crisis there is no need to bring up names like VDM because there are two sides to this you see him as this person you need people like while other think he has a bad side. Let's not bring this social media discussion to the forum.
no matter the aspect of VDM you bring out, it does not take out the important part which is that he has been a strong advocate for a better Nigeria where the voice of the youths is hard. when we see a man that stand strong on what is right, lets forget our differences and call a spade, a spade.
the politician and our bad leaders deliberately want to leave the youth in poverty so when the youths are given the slightest penny, it can become easy for them to be manipulated and used to carry out their bidding. how many youths that are living very comfortable will allow himself to become a tool in the hands of our politician? when hunger hits and you are left with the help gotten from politician as your only rout from poverty, you just find yourself running back to them against whatever your conscience stands against.
that is what the likes of VDM has managed to overcome which has given him the boldness to call peoples names out.
